Brendan Ross, the pilot who had to ditch his plane in Elliott Bay Thursday, says the crash happened after his engine quit on him and says he’s now ready to get back in the sky.
“I walked away from it because I knew what to do, so let’s get back in there and do it again,” Ross said. “The flying part, not the crashing.”
The FAA has begun an investigation into what caused a small seaplane to crash into Elliott Bay Thursday afternoon. Crews are investigating reports of a seaplane crash into the water off of the 2800 block of Alaskan Way. Please avoid the area.“We saw the plane come in, it was a small glider, kind of low and slow, and as it was approaching the water, that’s when we lost sight of it,” said witness Karla Saur told KIRO 7. “The Coast Guard was there within maybe 30 seconds.”
