SAFETY BOARD TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS AFTER CRASH
Canada’s transportation safety board is scheduled to release recommendations today after a plane crash last year near a remote northern Saskatchewan community. All 25 people on board the West Wind Aviation plane escaped when it crashed near the Fond du Lac airstrip soon after takeoff on Dec. 13. Nine people were seriously injured and one 19-year-old man, Arson Fern Jr., later died in hospital. Investigators previously said the plane had ice on it when it took off, but the investigation was ongoing.
