407 Driver Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 They are showing pictures on Global BC this AM, 2 on board, no survivors. It crashed meters from a house on Othello Rd The aircraft burned. The pics showed a Red vertical fin remaining, but I never got a good look at it? ..possibly a 206? The RCMP Officer interviewed says that it crashed around 8:30 PM, sunset for Hope was at 18:54. If he's correct on the time of the crash, that puts it 1 hr after dark?

Helilog56 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Just watched another news report....looks like the remaining tail section and t/r blade are off of a 206......no matter what it was, more loss of life, in an accident that will perhaps be deemed preventable....sad,very sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortex Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 A sad event for all involved. Word on the street has it that its a private machine, flying after dark and sounds like it may have been DEPARTING at 20:30??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downwash Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Anyone want to bet that it was another of these 'illegals' running drugs? All of this recent stuff outside regs has been of that nature. Bad, bad stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
407 too Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 downwash, how so outside of regs ?? is flight after dark illegal ?? anyways, unfortunate to all involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helilog56 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Hey guy's, I really feel this would be an inappropriate time to start tongue wagging over circumstances we know nothing about right now......loss of life occured, let the experts try to determine the cause and or reasons for the mishap....we can debate later once the facts are in.
