Seaplane Crash Near Sucia Island | Savannah News

A seaplane carrying eleven people crashed near Sucia Island, sparking a fiery emergency—but swift rescue efforts saved all aboard. Videos show the aircraft banking sharply before a rough landing and partial submersion against a rock. The incident echoes recent seaplane mishaps, including a NYC crash two weeks ago and a 2022 fatal crash in Puget Sound that prompted FAA inspections. The FAA is now investigating, while Kenmore Air, operator of the de Havilland DHC-3 Otter involved, has grounded flights Friday and pledged full cooperation. Though FAA directives exist for this model’s flight controls, no grounding order is in place—and Kenmore confirmed prior inspections were passed.
