Four people died in a plane crash in the North Spirit Lake Reserve north of Dryden, Ont. Tuesday morning. The local residents rushed to provide rescue services.
“It wouldn’t go out,” said Darcy Keesick of the North Spirit Lake First Nation. “They couldn’t do it anymore because the snow was starting to get saturated with fuel.”
Out of the five occupiers, only Brian Shead, 36, survived the crash. Reportedly, flight BZ 213 took off from Winnipeg and hit the ground around 10 a.m. According to the local school official Eric Feldman, two of the deceased were the relatives of a teacher on the reserve.
Shead works with the Aboriginal Strategies Inc. He was rushed to a hospital in Winnipeg where he received instant medical care. His wife, Tracy Shead, had at first thought he had been killed. She said: “[I am] very, very relieved and I can’t wait to see him.”
According to Feldman, the weather was not good from probably about 7 this morning. He said: “I said to myself: ‘How can a plane land in this?’ And that was hours before the crash.”
According to Keystone spokesperson George Riopka, the plane might have encountered a more localized ‘snowsquall’ closer to the destination, but weather conditions were satisfactory for the aircraft’s departure.
“Based on the weather we had there was no reason not to go,” he said.
