Three Year Old Girl Rescued from Plane Crash in B.C.

Canada.com, The Globe and Mail and Canoe.ca all have substantial stories of three year old Kate rescued from a Cessna 172 that went down near Golden British Columbia. A fortunate combination of forethought and luck joined forces to bring some good news from a tragic accident. A passing plane, listening to the emergency frequency, picked up the ELT signal. An ongoing search in the area placed SAR resources near at hand. Young Kate was strapped into a child car seat. Sadly, the two other occupants did not survive.

Water Bomber in Malibu

Picked this up off the AVWeb page, stuck it here so I don't loose the link. That is some crazy low flying!



And here is some footage of scooping, I don't know if they are the same aircraft, or even working the same fire.
