All nine people aboard a small plane heading to the British Columbia Interior were sent to hospital Thursday after it slammed onto a city street just outside Vancouver’s International Airport. . . Richmond RCMP reported late Thursday that the two crew members on the flight were in “very critical condition.”
Reportedly, witnesses on the scene rushed to the downed plane and began helping passengers get out. So far none of the passengers nor the three people injured on the ground have died.
According to the crew at Ultimate
“Kelly is in the Intensive Care Unit right now at Vancouver General Hospital and although he has multiple fractures in his spine and some smoke inhalation he is responding and has movement to his extremities. He woke up early Friday morning and was communicating with family. Kelly still has much recovery ahead but is OK now. We are all praying and sending positive thoughts to him and his family as well as his fellow passengers.
Our thoughts are with Jablonski and the entire Ultimate Skateboard family. Read the comments for more.
[Update 10:30 AM: According to the CBC the pilot of the plane has died due to injuries he suffered in the crash.]
We have Kaelia! Thank you everyone for all of you help and support in brining her back home! Continue to pray for our family during this much needed time of healing. . . Bryan has also returned and is currently with his Father, we do not have any information beyond this. Thank you.
We’re glad everyone is home safe and hope that the Russell family can get things all sorted so we don’t all have to go through this again. At least Kaelia and Bryan know people care. . .

Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation), is a system of transportation that uses magnetic levitation to suspend, guide and propel vehicles from magnets rather than using mechanical methods, such as friction-reliant wheels, axles and bearings. Maglev transport is a means of flying a vehicle or object along a guideway by using magnets to create both lift and thrust, only a few inches above the guideway surface.
