Plane slams into boat and sinks in Vancouver harbor

Boat and planes normally aren’t a threat to each other, yet Canada found a way. A seaplane attempting to take off from Vancouver’s Coal Harbor instead managed to collide with a speedboat, injuring two. The Harbor Air plane was attempting to take a group of five passengers on a scenic tour of Vancouver when the boat floated into its path. The plane briefly succeeded in getting airborne in the moments after the crash, but returned to the harbor moments later, this time without its floats. A few minutes later, the plane was completely underwater. Amazingly, the boat appeared to be largely undamaged by the collision, and could be seen pulling over to the plane to offer assistance. Two passengers on the boat were taken to hospital, while the plane’s five passengers and pilot were unharmed. Authorities are investigating exactly what caused the crash to occur.
