1 Dead, 9 Missing After Floatplane Crashes into Puget Sound

I am not thinking anything. I will be patient and let the NTSB attempt to determine the cause of the accident. Since you seem to have details regarding this accident you should contact them, they have a 1-800 number. I flew Otters for a living for a brief period, as good of an aircraft as they are they have an issue with their elevator trim tabs failing in flight (reference incidents involving aircrafts N3125N and N703TH) Having an opinion is a right, but it is still opinion, and fact supported by actual aeronautical experience and aircraft operational history still seems more relevant than throwing out phrases like intentional murder of this yet unnamed high profile passenger by "old dynamite and fireworks." Comments like yours are disrespectful of the victims families who will seek meaningful (read factual) closure, disrespectful of the NTSB investigators who will spend weeks, months, possibly years attempting to provide those facts, and the operator of the aircraft who lost and employee and will face the scrutiny by the public and keyboard warriors who produce opinion online.
