A few months ago, a plane and a recreational boat collided in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour on Saturday, June 8. Bystanders captured the plane – a Harbour Air float plane – on video heading right towards the boat.
In a statement to CTV News, Harbour Air stated that the seaplane was operating a scenic tour with five passengers on board. They claimed that the plane “came into contact” with a boat during takeoff.
Both the passengers and the pilot escaped the crash uninjured. However, the Vancouver Police Department stated that “several” people on the boat received treatment for injuries at a local hospital.
Per CTV News, BC Emergency Health Services claimed that two involved in the crash received emergency care. Both individuals were taken to hospital with “minor injuries.”
“None of the ten additional patients required transport to hospital,” information officer Brian Twaites stated. “All passengers on board the Harbour Air float plane and the recreational boat were reported safe ashore,” the port said in an email.
