Alaska Plane Crash Victims Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 26, 2015.
Authorities in Alaska are investigating why a sightseeing plane crashed into a cliff in southeastern Alaska Thursday, killing the pilot and eight passengers from a cruise ship.

"There are no survivors," said Promech Air, the plane's operator, according to CNN.

The crash occurred near the city of Ketchikan, Alaska.

The eight passengers were from the MS Westerdam, a cruise ship operated by Holland America Line, which left Seattle on Saturday for a seven-day round-trip cruise, according to CNN.

"We are incredibly distressed by this situation, and our thoughts and prayers are with those on board the plane and their families," Holland America said, according to CNN.

"There is nothing I can say that can alleviate the pain and overwhelming sense of loss that we and the loved ones of those affected are feeling," said Marcus Sessoms, Promech Air's president, according to CNN. "At this moment, all of us share the pain and anguish of this terrible event."

The cruise ship offers shore excursions including Promech Air's tour of the Misty Fjords National Monument, which spans more than 2 million acres, according to Promech Air's website.

"Towering granite cliffs, 1,000-foot waterfalls, lush and remote valleys and serene crystalline lakes make up this incredible landscape," the company's website says. "This unspoiled wilderness is one of our country’s greatest national treasures and includes the best scenery that Alaska has to offer, abundant wildlife, amazing landscapes and intriguing geological creations."

Names of the victims were being withheld pending notification of relatives.
