Gary Watson Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 CTV had a similar shot on the news tonight but I am sure it was from the opposite direction. Tough to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainman Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 That is tough to watch! My condolences to the pilots family. As an aside, it would appear the pilot potentially saved bystanders from injury as he guided it to the grassy spot where he went in. Kudos!

MMike Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Based on the skylights and the seats I'd say it was an A-star? Or are you looking for the specific model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
