One passenger remains in critical condition with head injuries and broken bones, while five have been released. The cause is unknown, but the aircraft—a DHC-3 Otter, same model involved in a 2022 crash that killed ten—had passed recent inspections. Kenmore Air, the operator, has grounded all flights as federal agencies launch investigations. This follows a similar, less severe incident in NYC’s East River just three weeks prior.
