i just drove past there about 15 mins ago.
like 20 cop cars and a helicopter. kinda freaked me out for a sec cause this huge low flying plane flew pretty near the helicopter afterwards too. didnt see smoke or anything cops closed down the road from sweden all the way to 5 road.

Yes it's Jason from RS, busy installing a fart can on a 92 Civic

FYI guys this is a small cargo/commuter plane on a night flight, usually crewed by low-time commericial pilots and usually the planes are really old, and if they are not maintained properly, could be dangerous. This is not a 9/11 type situation. Either the pilot fucked up or the maintenance fucked up. Once again, RIP.

JBAUTISTA 07-09-2009 10:19 PM

OMG! i missed it. hah me and freind was heading down to espot when we saw 2 cop cars turn around zooomingg past us guessing they where heading to that spot! weird.

CivicTypeRice 07-09-2009 10:21 PM

pandalove 07-09-2009 10:30 PM

Rich Sandor 07-09-2009 10:43 PM

Here is an mp3 from vancouver tower right after the crash. Apex 511 is the Navajoe that crashed, it was a few miles behind an Airbus also inbound for landing at YVR.
