An incident during a water landing Thursday morning left the plane submerged upside down
A floatplane pilot and passenger escaped with minor injuries after an incident during a water landing Thursday morning at Lasqueti Island that left the plane submerged upside down.
B.C. Emergency Health Services responded to the incident around 9:30 a.m. with an air ambulance.
The two patients suffered only minor physical injuries and did not require medical care from the paramedics, said Bowen Osoko, manager of media and issue communications for BCEHS.
Photos online showed a plane nearly submerged in the water, with its wheels sticking out of the floats visible above the surface.
Telus, which had a passenger on the plane, is investigating the incident, said Richard Gilhooley, a company spokesperson for Western Canada.
