A seaplane carrying 11 people crashed and erupted into a fiery blaze off the coast of Washington state, leaving one victim fighting life.
The Kenmore Air plane was forced to attempt an emergency landing in Shallow Bay just off Sucia Island, around 80 nautical miles from Seattle. Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound immediately deployed its search and rescue assets upon receiving reports of the crash at around 5.25 p.m. Thursday, the agency said.
