The U.S. Coast Guard says the wreckage of a sightseeing plane that carried six people has been found in southeast Alaska; there were no survivors.
JUNEAU, Alaska — A sightseeing plane crashed Thursday in southeast Alaska, killing all six people on board, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
The five passengers on the flight were from the Holland America Line cruise ship Nieuw Amsterdam, the company said in a statement. The ship stopped in Ketchikan on Thursday. Ketchikan is a popular stop for cruise ships visiting Alaska, and cruise ship passengers can take various sightseeing excursions while in port.
In 2019, two sightseeing planes collided in midair, killing six of the 16 people on board the two planes.
