A sightseeing floatplane crashed in Alaska on Thursday. All five people and the pilot on board were killed.
Holland America Line said the five passengers on the plane were from the company’s cruise ship Nieuw Amsterdam.
The identities of the victims have not been revealed.
The US Coast Guard and Federal Aviation Administration said the plane’s emergency alert beacon was activated around 11:20 a.m. local time. The plane crashed in the area of Misty Fjords National Monument, near the border with Canada.
The Coast Guard found the wreckage at around 2:40 a.m. Two rescue swimmers were sent to the site, and they reported no survivors.
Small flights to Misty Fjords National Monument are popular among tourists.
Earlier in 2019, two sightseeing planes had collided in mid-air, killing six of the 16 passengers on board the planes.
