Float Plane Crashes Into Boat During Takeoff

Several people were injured last Saturday afternoon when a seaplane crashed into a boat near Canada Place in Coal Harbour, according to the Vancouver Police Department.

The incident occurred just before 1 p.m. when a Harbour Air seaplane collided with a pleasure boat. The collision was captured on video by bystanders, showing the aircraft striking the boat before re-entering the water.

Remarkably, all five passengers and the pilot aboard the Harbour Air seaplane were unharmed, according to a statement from Harbour Air.

However, several individuals on the boat were injured and transported to the hospital for treatment. Details about their conditions have not yet been released.

The Vancouver Police are currently investigating the collision and are working with multiple agencies to assess the situation and determine the cause of the crash.
