Plane crash. 
Respond to search boat. 
>> It happened just after 5:00 Thursday night. 
The Coast Guard says the seaplane carrying 10 passengers and a pilot from Seattle to Roche Harbor, Washington had to make an emergency landing. 
Witnesses in the area recorded the plane as it came in. 
>> This is so cool. 
I can't believe he's good. 
>> But the danger quickly became clear as the plane crashed into rocks off Sucia Island. 
>> Oh god, I hope he's okay. 
I got to go out there. 
>> Voters nearby jumping in to help. 
>> Just stay there. 
>> You can see some of the passengers getting out of the plane as first responders, including the US Coast Guard, rushed to the scene. 
>> The seaplane itself was mostly uh entirely underwater by the time we got there.

Some suffering head injuries and broken bones. 
One passenger is in critical condition. 
While the cause of the crash is still under investigation, Kenmore Air, which operates the plane, says there was a weather system in the area at the time and the pilot adjusted the flight path due to that weather. 
Radar shows storms moving through. 
>> It seems pretty amazing that everyone survived. 
>> I would agree. 
Very much. 
A lot of things went right for a lot of people in a lot of ways. 
>> And Kenmore Air says three of the passengers remain in the hospital and that the company is fully cooperating with the investigation.
