Small Aircraft Crash CYVR
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c ... crash.html
Just at work and people were heading outside to take a look. From what I have heard it seems like it hit the northbound lane and came to rest on the southbound lane of Russ Baker Way right before the fence then caught fire.
My wishes to all that are involved. Just when I thought this bad year of accidents might be coming to an end

Anyone other than Pasco fly a 200 with pass? Don't think it would be a medivac with 8 people.

Re: Small Aircraft Crash CYVR
Not confirmed but Flightaware has a King Air 100 operated by Northern Thurnderbird which looks like it turned around on the way to Kelowna.
Re: Small Aircraft Crash CYVR
Just talked to my flight crews that just returned. Said it looks like NT air and they crashed about 300 yards from the Million air ramp (basicly the thresh hold of 26L) and just left of centerline. Sounds like it's inside the airport fence and just missed Helijet.
Says it looks bad and says it's doubtful anyone made it.

Re: Small Aircraft Crash CYVR
Looking at a few of the available pics just a couple moments ago. Looks pretty bad i.e. if someone survived that, I'll be surprised.
Turn right/left heading XXX, vectors for the hell of it.

Just got this from News1130
"Steve called News1130 says he was one of the first on scene and broke open the door to the plane. "We pulled 6 out of the 7 passengers out. The fire department showed up, they're working on getting the pilot out now."

Eyewitness audio just under the photo on the left.
Glad to hear that everyone is okay. I guess I'll be heading home through Richmond.

Re: Small Aircraft Crash CYVR
The news just reported that BC Ambulance has confirmed they transported 5 people in critical condition to VGH and 4 people with minor injuries to Richmond hospital.
Don't know if they are all passengers or not - but it sounds like bystanders were jumping into the burning plane to pull people out. Would not be surprised if they got some minor injuries.

Re: Small Aircraft Crash CYVR
This has been the worst year on record for these things hitting close to home for me. I hope all are okay...
Re: Small Aircraft Crash CYVR

Re: Small Aircraft Crash CYVR
Some other great pictures here: http://www.ctvbc.ctv.ca/gallery/html/bc ... oto_0.html
On a personal note, I flew over the top of YVR less than half an hour before the crash. Just prior to then, over the Burrard Inlet, I heard the accident aircraft talking to Vancouver Terminal. My passenger and I discussed its call-sign ("Thunderbird..." something), wondering if a flight of US Airforce airshow fighters were in the area.
It was a beautiful afternoon, and the air was smooth.
Hope everyone recovers quickly.

I don't think the term "great pictures" is really appropriate at this point. With all due respect.
Re: Small Aircraft Crash CYVR
Is it just me, or is there something not right about the left engine and the completely sheared prop shaft. Just nothing there. The other prop was developing a fair bit of power at impact, so if this was an engine out, why is the entire prop missing from the left side, which you'd assume was feathered in a single engine approach?
Anyways, happy to hear it wasn't worse.

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience often comes from bad judgment.

Quote from the Vancouver Sun
"McBratney also said the plane took out a light standard and part of a concrete median, losing its propeller along the way".

Sorry if I seemed insensitive. The referenced pictures (of this sad event) were of high quality. That's all I meant.
