RENTON, Wash. —
The National Transportation Safety Board said Monday that they're sending a team of seven to investigate the crash of the DHC-3 Turbine Otter.KOMO witnesses on the shore reported seeing the plane “nose dive into the water.” Northwest Seaplanes is a family owned business founded by Clyde Carlson, according to the company's website. It has 24-years of “accident and incident free flying," the website said.The company's business office next to the seaplane dock at the Renton Municipal Airport remained closed behind fencing on Monday. The only visible activity was two people hugging near the front door. The only floatplane at the dock appeared to be a small private Cessna.
The Northwest Seaplanes website says its sister company Friday Harbor Seaplanes operates daily flights to and from their Renton base and the San Juan Islands, a scenic archipelago northwest of Seattle that draws tourists from around the world.
