Kenmore Air Crash: Weather or Mechanics | Seattle News

A Kenmore Air float plane crashed in the San Juan Islands after the pilot altered course due to severe weather — but was it the storm’s fault?

NTSB is investigating, suspecting turbulence or wind gusts, with findings due next month — and Kenmore Air plans to resume operations Saturday.
