A Mid-Air Plane Crash in the Alaskan Wilderness

BTS with CTV News Vancouver

When two float planes collided mid-air, plummeting into a remove inlet and killing a number of cruise ship passengers on board, CTV Vancouver sent a crew north to Alaska to learn more about the crash. Not only had their ship left from the port of Vancouver days earlier, but a metro Vancouver husband and wife died aboard one of the sea-planes.
BTS with CTV Vancouver host Penny Daflos and reporter Allison Hurst discuss the logistics of getting to Ketchikan and the George Inlet where the planes went down, as well as the delicate task of reporting in a community awash in grief.
