Looks like we have a celebrity in our midst. A veteran pilot even. How many misquotes are there in this article? Besides the Cessna 170-2K, how did the ace reporter get “damage to the airplane shows me it stalled” from "I have no comment on the cause of this crash as that is the job of the TSB." Gee, I hate when the media does that.

Pilot killed in crash

RICHMOND HILL — A man is dead after a fiery crash near the Buttonville Airport Sunday — the second time in a month a small plane has crashed near the airport.
Speaking at the scene of the crash, near 16th Ave. and Hwy. 404, veteran pilot Robert Reid told the Sun the unidentified pilot was flying alone in the 40-year-old advertising banner-towing plane. Reid said the plane that crashed in the vacant parking lot around 5:25 p.m., had no trouble when he saw him take off two hours earlier. He said the black, 1970 Cessna 170-2K, regularly took off for the company, Skywords Aerial Advertising, on a moving pick-up of long banners. “They can’t take-off with a banner,” said Reid, a pilot with more than 30 years experience. Standing across the street from where investigators and paramedics were poring through the wreckage, Reid said, “damage to the airplane shows me it stalled.” He saw the plane first take off around 3:25 p.m., do one circuit, pick up a banner and then fly towards Toronto’s downtown.
York Regional Police Insp. Steve Seabrooke told reporters at the scene that after the flames were extinguished by fire crews, a body was found inside the airplane. Police are trying to locate the owner of the plane, Seabrooke said. “The name and age of the dead pilot won’t be released until relatives are notified,” he said. Seabrooke would only say the flyer lived in the GTA.
At the sound of the plane crashing into the parking lot near 45 Vogell Rd., Amit Kohli ran to the window of the eighth floor office where he was working. “I saw it burning,” he said. “There was no sign of anyone.” “If it had flown from 10 to 15 seconds more, it would have hit our building,” Kohli said.
Rae Simpson, a senior investigator with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, said the aircraft had just returned from an earlier banner mission and had successfully dropped off the banner on the airfield. Simpson said that after flying over the highway, the nose of the aircraft dropped and it crashed into the parking lot. “It could easily have struck a building,” Simpson said. “I’m sure there will be questions ... there is nothing at all that appears similar (to the May 25 crash). This is a random thing.”
On May 25, a small plane with a pilot and passenger on board crashed into Thinkway Toys, at 8895 Woodbine Ave., shortly after taking from Buttonville Airport. Both the pilot and passenger died in the crash. That incident is still being probed by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.
