Wow. When the Air Canada pilot mentions the explosion and fire... chilling.

I was at the gym @ around 10:30 and the lights went out for like 2 seconds. Related to the crash maybe?

Uhh yeah, all you need is a radio tuned to tower freq... :)

Blame the green laser pointers that these kids are running around with at the night market.
I always said that Richmond would either sink, or have a plane drop on it.
Wonder if it was pilot error or mechanical.
RIP to the fly boys.

does anyone know the cause of the accident?

RIP i wonder what caused the accident

Too early to know.

And yeah, you can listen to YVR and a lot of other airports on www.liveatc.net

Did you're guys lights flicker at around 10:15? My friend told me his did, mine did as well, anyone else in Richmond?

Anyways, after that my friend and I decided to go investigate for ourselves. This involved getting as close as possible. Unfortunately, the police set up a complete perimeter around the complete site. But I was able to get some pictures of the surrounding police.

this guy in his 240sx tried to turn onto bridgeport (this is the intersection at 5 and bridgeport)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...K/IMG_2272.jpg
we were walking down bridgeport and saw 2 cars with "Canada" written on the side of them approaching the roadblock near mcdonalds and ikea, we decided to go across between some buildings came across another road block

no pictures of faces

So they had a complete roadblock around Ikea (near Mobler and J's Racing building) and set up an additional roadblock at Garage Sale Inc. So... a roadblock within a roadblock
Some pictures of their barricades, lol

also, random picture of articulated bus in ikea parking lot... i'm not sure if they park them there regularily or not...

In the end, entertaining night playing private investigator, RIP to those who died in the accident :(

Wow...so this is where those cops are headed... I heard a lot of siren around that time; now i know why...

RIP, lucky no one on the ground got hurt and didn't crash into a gas station.

i was playing ball at douglas and i saw a brightasss flash towards the richmond directions. at first i thought it was lightning but then it was the plane crash

steve nash? i was working out at about the same time and the lights went out. they had it back up in 10 minutes though

My cable went out around that time and I heard a boom....

poor assembly job from ikea

news this morning said it was a regular chartered medical flight used for transporting blood (plasma?).

cops had to ram through a locked chain link fence/gate to get to the crash scene...
