According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, two Washington men have filed a personal injury lawsuit against the charter company that leased them a floatplane that crashed into Barkley Sound, located near Vancouver Island. One of the men's 13-year-old son was also a a passenger on the plane that plunged into icy waters in July 2007. The Post-Intelligencer reports that the pilot and passengers all successfully swam to nearby rocks, where they rescued by the Coast Guard. Although none of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries, they allege that the incident has left them with emotional trauma, sleeplessness, and neck pain. The lawsuit claims that the charter company negligently failed to provide them with adequate safety instructions, and that the pilot made an unsafe choice to land in the cramped, rock-strewn bay instead of choosing nearby open waters.
