A Grumman Goose? There are (were) only something like 60 of them left flying in the entire world!
I watched a BC evening news broadcast tonight, and didn't see a thing about this...
If you have a good hi-speed connection, you can see a Global News video
here. The video will auto-start on the left side of the screen within a few seconds.
This report (runs just shy of 6 minutes) regarding the crash includes a 3-4 minute phone interview with a person from Canada's Transportation Safety Board....which is the equivalent of the US NTSB.
