A strange crash with a seaplane and a boat on Saturday near Coal Harbour in Vancouver, Canada. The aircraft was on a take-off roll, and visibly unable to avoid the incoming passenger boat that arrived from starboard (right). 

Emergency services rushed to the crash site. Two passengers on the boat, carrying four people, sustained non-life threatening injuries. An investigation into the mishap will establish who was in the wrong during the maneuvers.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
