Canadian among six dead in mid-air float plane crash in Alaska
VANCOUVER — Six people are now confirmed dead in the midair crash of two sightseeing floatplanes in Alaska, including one Canadian, the U.S. Coast Guard said late Tuesday.
The U.S. agency released the latest numbers after two more bodies were recovered from the crash site.
The crash happened Monday after the planes carrying cruise ship tourists collided near the southeast Alaska town of Ketchikan. Fourteen Americans, one Canadian and one Australian were involved, the Coast Guard said.
