2019-05-14
[Washington Examiner] Five people are dead and another is missing after two floatplanes carrying cruise passengers crashed into one another in southeast Alaska on Monday.

Princess Cruises said that all four passengers and a pilot in a de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver were killed after slamming into a larger de Havilland DHC-3 Otter Monday afternoon near Ketchikan, Alaska.

"We are deeply saddened to report this news and our thoughts and prayers are with those who lost their lives and the families of those impacted by today’s accident," Princess Cruises said in a statement. "Princess Cruises is extending its full support to traveling companions of the guests involved."
