Five people are dead after two float planes collided in flight Monday afternoon near Ketchikan, Alaska, according to a news release from Princess Cruises.
The crash took place around 1 p.m. when a small floatplane -- an aircraft with pontoons or floats that allow it to land on water -- operated by Taquan Air was flying a shore excursion. The flight, sold through Princess Cruises, was returning from a tour of Alaska's Misty Fjords and was carrying 10 passengers and a pilot. The second plane involved was carrying four passengers from Royal Princess on an separate tour, the release said.

I’m actually on the Royal Princess Cruise in Ketchikan. In fact, we did the Misty Fjord flight this morning. Just a very somber mood on the ship as we head towards Juneau.
