A plane crash in Canada claimed the lives of six individuals.
After taking off the previous night from Springbank airport, the event took place just west of the city, in the highlands of Alberta, according to Calgary police.
There were five people riding with the pilot. They were flying in a single-engine Piper PA-32 and heading for Salmon Arm in the nearby British Columbia province.
A Royal Canadian Air Force Hercules plane was quickly ordered to hunt for the missing aircraft after the plane was reported overdue at 1AM on Saturday, according to officials.
The emergency locator transmitter was tracked by the search team to Mount Bogart, where it was determined that nobody had survived the crash.
According to a Transportation Safety Board spokeswoman, the organisation is looking into the event.
It brings to mind the terrible two-year-old crash of a small plane carrying a “will you marry me?” banner.
The message was being followed by a 1974 Cessna 172 aircraft when it caught fire and crashed in Montreal’s Parc Dieppe.
Partygoers at the adjacent Osheaga Get Together music event witnessed the plane falling.
When the plane hit the ground, it bounced and spun before coming to a stop, according to evidence recovered from the crash site.
Gian Piero Ciambella, the pilot, was hurt, and one passenger perished. When his engine failed during a flight in 2016, he made an emergency landing in the city and received recognition for his “extraordinary piloting feat.”
Two more pilots perished earlier this week while battling flames on the Greek island of Evia, close to Athens. Their aircraft, which is believed to be a Canadair, crashed into a mountainside.
Locals described how nearly fifteen years ago to the day, a very identical tragedy also involved a Canadair jet claimed the lives of two men.
