A dramatic video has surfaced, capturing the intense moment when a float plane collided with a boat in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour.
The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon, as the float plane was attempting to land on the water. The video, captured by a witness, shows the plane descending towards the water and then suddenly veering off course, colliding with a boat that was docked nearby.
According to the Vancouver Police Department, there were no injuries reported from the collision. However, both the plane and the boat sustained significant damage.
The float plane, operated by Harbour Air, was carrying two passengers and a pilot at the time of the incident. The passengers were reportedly shaken but unharmed.
The cause of the collision is still under investigation, but initial reports suggest that strong winds may have played a role. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has been notified and will be conducting a thorough investigation.
In the meantime, Harbour Air has suspended all flights in and out of Coal Harbour until further notice. The company has also released a statement expressing their concern for the safety of their passengers and their commitment to cooperating with the investigation.
This incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers of air and water travel, and the importance of strict safety protocols. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
