Helilog56 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 ITT MEADOWS (NEWS1130) Their helicopter is now under water, but two men aboard escaped relatively unharmed after a crash yesterday afternoon. Theres no word what caused the small chopper to plunge to the ground, roll onto a riverbank and then sink into the north end of Pitt Lake. The two men inside escaped with only minor injuries and were quickly located by a nearby military helicopter that happened to be training nearby. The Cormorant was up training at the time near Texada, so he was tasked to proceed to that location.Got on scene, saw the helicopter rolled over on its side in the riverbed, says Captain Ray Jacobson with the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre. Fortunately, everything was quick. It was probably, until the time we got the call from the helicopter being on-scene, was about 30 minutes, he adds. The pair had walked a short distance from the crash and were quickly found. They were airlifted to Abbotsford Hospital. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twin Helix Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I would guess it was a flightschool since I can't think of anybody in the area doing work with 300s. Only one school I know of near Pitt with 300s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just looking Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 CADORS is your friend... 2014P0128 Really well this one says next to zero about the incident. The only information on this is who owned the aircraft and the Ident of it. Other then that it says it went on a site seeing tour and it had an accident. Doesn't say if it was inflight and had a failure. Or if was landing and hit something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
212wrench Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Gives enough information for the speculation and mudslinging to begin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
