Heard the 3 passengers were State Dept Natural Resouces Employee's. Being summer, unless they were flying extended over water, doubt they were wearing the Gumby Suits. Sad deal for all. Maritime has an EXCELLENT safety record and their aircraft are some of the best mnaintained in the industry, top notch, first class operation! Prayers for all involved! |

"Gomer from Homer"... Way to jump to conclusions - almost as if you are involved in maintenance at Maritime. It is a sad event. Let the investigators do their job. |

According to the linkedin profile. Sad day for all, hope the investigations shows something, but if I had to guess, I would say low vis and flew it right into the water. RIP |

No need to, I already told you what happened! Fog, VMV to IMC, hit the water at a high speed! What else do you want to know Snowflake? |
