Ten people on board a single engine Cessna 208 that crashed in in the Cascade mountains have been killed, officials confirmed. Seven bodies were found in the wreckage and the other three people still missing are also believed dead. The names of the nine skydivers and their pilot have not yet been released.
The Cessna 208 turboprop was returning from a skydiving meeting at Star, near Boise, Idaho, on Sunday evening to Washington state. Based on radar and a hunter's report of seeing a plane flying low and then hearing a crash, the search was focused on a steep, densely forested area near White Pass, about 45 miles west of Yakima.
The National Transportation Safety Board will begin an investigation on Tuesday.
