Sightseeing plane missing in Alaska.

For the ones who may not be following "The Daily" for today.

 

There has been a report that a sightseeing plane out of Ketchikan is missing. Apparently HAL has issued a statement that the five passengers on the flight were from the Nieuw Amsterdam, which was docked in Ketchikan today.

Per KTUU Anchorage, it was a private excursion not sold by HAL. Prayers for survivors 🤞

My SIL just called from the ship. Said they were told to call home so that we knew they were okay.

[KirkNC]

That’s horrible news.

[syesmar]

Prayers for all involved!

[idiebabe]

Praying they are found and there are survivors.  🙏😢

Oh terrible!  Prayers for all involved.

If anyone knows, can the pilot activate the alert or is it solely automatic?

It’s sad.  I don’t think it makes a difference if it’s a HAL tour or a private one.  They use the same planes.

i am holding out hope that float planes can land on water and it is there.
 

Prayers for them all 🙏🏻

OMG!  We were on this tour about 3 years ago and it was a great experience, but the terrain is very dense and difficult.  We will pray for the group!

I do, too!  We took some pics of a couple of them flying back in.  I was there in 2019 a couple of months after two collided.   Six Passengers from a Princess Ship lost their lives that day.  We’ve done Heli Tours in AK and HI but we never did the Float Planes.   Very sad and heartbreaking to hear this news today!  😢
