Five people are dead and 10 others hospitalized after two floatplanes collided in midair on Monday near the southeast Alaska town of Ketchikan.

The pilot on each plane was flying cruise ship passengers on tours, Princess Cruises said in a statement. All five people aboard the de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver died, the cruise line confirmed. The other plane, a de Havilland Otter DHC-3, carried 11 people.

Ten people are receiving treatment at Peace Health's Ketchikan Medical Center. One person is in critical condition, three are in serious condition and six people are in fair condition, Peace Health Communications Director Beverly Mayhew told USA TODAY.

One cruise ship passenger's condition is unknown, Princess Cruises said.

4. We have good friends who took their entire family on that Alaska cruise

a few years back. Scary.
Heard on our news today that this 85 year old woman was in a car driven by a relative yesterday when the branch of a tree snapped and pinned the two of them - she died but the driver survived. Imagine you live 85 years to have a tree take you out. There are so many ways to die so we may as well laugh at life.
