(VIDEO) Off the coast of the U.S. state of Washington, a seaplane caught fire after making an emergency landing

On July 24, 2026, a hydroplane crashed after making an emergency landing near Sucia Island, part of the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington state, USA. The aircraft was carrying 11 people, including 10 passengers and a pilot. All 11 were successfully rescued by emergency services, though four sustained serious injuries and were hospitalized. One person remains in critical condition. The crash occurred approximately 45 minutes after takeoff from Seattle, heading toward Roche Harbor, around 160 kilometers away. The cause of the emergency landing is still under investigation. Kenmore Air, the airline operating the flight, confirmed two injured passengers were taken to hospitals in Bellingham and Seattle, while seven others received medical checks at a Coast Guard base. A swift rescue operation involving U.S. Coast Guard, Canadian Coast Guard, and local emergency services ensured all survivors were safely evacuated.
