Passengers drowned after door design slowed exit in fatal NWT plane crash: TSB
GATINEAU, Que. — The Transportation Safety Board is issuing a warning over the doors on a small float plane after three passengers drowned on a sightseeing flight in the Northwest Territories last summer.
The passengers died in August after the Cessna 206 crashed during an attempted landing on a remote lake.
The board found one of the plane’s two adjoining exit doors was blocked by the aircraft’s extended wing flaps, which made opening the rear door more complicated.
