Safety Inspection
Was there a safety inspection done on the plane that crash landed in God’s
Lake Narrows? The plane provided medi-vac’s to Northern communities and
should have been safe enough for patients to fly with. To receive a phone
call saying that my friend and her baby were in a plane crash is one of the
scariest phone calls you get. To know that this airline was taking a patient
and escort to medical treatment due to the lack of medical resources, only
to become rescued and in further need of medical attention for 2 passengers
and 3 crew members is frightening. The passengers (baby and mom), the nurse
and 2 pilots were found by rescuers five hours later. The rescuers were
expecting to find fatalities because of the size of the explosion, and were
overjoyed to find everyone safe and alive. The survivors on the plane are
family and we were all grateful everyone survived.
There is an ongoing investigation into this airline. Was this a crash that
could have been prevented? I think so!

I agree with your letter Brenda!
They should always check to make sure if everything is working perfectly for the hour or so flight, such as the gas or mechanical needs.
It is good news to hear that the mother and child are safe and alive.

The federal government should be blamed for this kind of thing. They should spend money on a major hospital to be put up north somewhere so people don’t have to go far for medical emergencies or fly in to Winnipeg.They would maybe travel by vehicle to get to this major hospital if it was built up north.

I strongly believe that airlines should take that extra time to inspect all the planes that are to be used on a regular basis. I would not want to even think about a child and a mother freezing to death let alone burning to death. I could imagen the loss, a parent or family would experience. The lifetime imprisonment of emotions of a loved one lost, due to saving money or a persons negligance. How would they feel if they lost a loved one due to laziness? With great certainty, they would go to extremes to find the one resposible and would go to great lengths to ensure it wouldn’t happen again. Excellent post!
