SATURNA, British Columbia — A float plane crashed off the Pacific coast, killing six people, including a Vancouver doctor and her 6-month-old baby, as well as two American residents. Two people on board survived.
The Dehavilland Beaver aircraft went down Sunday during takeoff in Lyall Harbour, off Saturna Island in British Columbia’s Gulf Islands — about 50 miles south of Vancouver.
The pilot and a female passenger were rescued within minutes of the crash, and both are expected to survive. The two U.S. residents were identified as Cindy Shafer, 44, and Richard Bruce Haskett, 49, of Huntington Beach, Calif.
