Aircraft ditches off coast Bonaire: pax safe, pilot missing?

The aircraft concerned may be a Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander operated by Divi Divi Air. Apparently one engine stopped working ultimately causing this accident off the coast of Klein Bonaire.

As this report is still "fresh" there will very likely be updates later this evening.
