“The occurrence was reported to the TSB, we are currently assessing the event, following up with the parties involved, and gathering data, but we are not planning to deploy at this time,” said a spokesperson for the TSB, Alexandre Fournier.
Emergency crews were dispatched to Langley Regional Airport a few minutes before 5 p.m. Thursday, when the chopper apparently slammed into the ground on the airport grounds. The crash tore parts of the helicopter’s rotor blades off and
flung them around the area, said assistant Township fire chief Andrew Hewitson. A section of blade apparently also hit a nearby parked car. The pilot walked away unharmed and no one on the ground was hurt, Hewitson said.
