CBC news is reporting a Canadian Armed Forces Chinook ( I presume Canadian Armed Forces) is down, perhaps in the Ottawa river near Petawwa Ontario, I hope it's a minor incident....

From the news link:
No few of my colleagues ended up losing their lives during "normal training event" flights over the years.
RIP.
Maj.-Gen. Sylvain Menard says it was a "normal regular night training event" at the time of the crash, with two pilots and two crew members in the back.
RIP.
