Efforts to pull up wreckage from fatal Whidbey Island floatplane crash began Monday, with the majority of wreckage coming to surface on Thursday.
According to Island County Emergency management, remains have been found in the wreckage Thursday, but they are not saying how many as they are still notifying families.
On Monday, officials with the National Transportation Safety Board will be pulling up the wreckage of a floatplane that crashed off Whidbey Island earlier this month. The NTSB found the sunken plane a few weeks ago, but with a current of 3 to 5 knots, conditions were too dangerous for divers. A remotely operated vehicle was used to get to the plane.
