Police and coroners will fly to the scene of a deadly helicopter crash in northwestern British Columbia Tuesday to investigate the incident that left three people dead and four others in critical condition.
The downed aircraft was one of three helicopters carrying heli-skiiers into the remote and mountainous backcountry when it went down around 4:15 p.m. Monday approximately 50 kilometres west of Terrace, according to the RCMP.
Mounties say communication was lost with one of the helicopters before a debris site was discovered in a snowfield.
The two remaining helicopters landed and were able to shuttle the four survivors from the crash site to paramedics who transferred them to hospital.
Promo picture from better times, shows snow conditions pilots land in. Some "seating" required to get the belly in the snow, tailrotor nice and clear. Tricky flying, note reference post pilot has his hand on.
Yes, I'm afraid it is a Skyline machine.
