What: Twin-engined King Air plane
Where: Pitt Meadows Airport, east of Vancouver
When: Sunday afternoon
Who: pilot, Ian Flanagan, who is also the owner of Pacific Skydivers and three students, who are believed to be from NUI Maynooth. Skydivers and pilot were taken to the Vancouver General Hospital for treatment. One Irish woman suffered a broken pelvis; the other two, a man and a woman, were treated for minor injuries and flew back to Ireland.
Why: Under investigation. Witnesses saw an aircraft engine fail before the pilot made a wheels-up landing in a blueberry field. The pilot is quoted as saying "There was a problem with the engine. We ended up having to do a forced 'belly-type' landing on a field near Pitt Meadows Airport."

The only injury detail was the woman with the broken pelvis; no information was presented to us regarding the man and woman who flew to Ireland. Of course we hope they are recovering.
