The scheduled flight departed from Lake Union in Seattle at 4:30 p.m. local time and was heading northwest toward its destination of Roche Harbor on San Juan Island, a route spanning approximately 100 miles.
根据航空公司的记录，这架水上飞机在起飞约45分钟后，于当地时间下午5:15左右在苏西亚岛附近海域坠落并迫降。在迫降发生约10分钟后，美国海岸警卫队便收到了相关的火灾与救援报告。目前，该航班在飞行途中究竟遭遇了何种突发状况，导致其在即将抵达目的地前被迫进行水上紧急迫降，仍有待相关航空监管机构的进一步调查与核实。
The airline confirmed that the floatplane went down at approximately 5:15 p.m. local time near Sucia Island, about 45 minutes after taking off from Seattle. This timeline indicates the emergency occurred just ten minutes before the U.S. Coast Guard received the initial report of the fire at 5:25 p.m. The specific mechanical or operational issues that forced the pilot to make the sudden emergency landing on the water shortly before reaching the destination remain unspecified.
04多部门联合救援与后续调查Multi-Agency Response and Pending Investigation
