so i was busing back to richmond when no. 3 rd was outrageously jammed.. it seems that a small plane crashed just after 4:10pm in a high rise building near saba road... @_@ so anyone living in richmond should try to avoid no. 3.. and if anyone is living near the apartments in saba road.. try to get a hold of your family members.. =(

    Crazy. Anyone else know any more details? I'm assuming it was a student pilot, like the other thing a few months ago with the baseball player. An experienced pilot would have been able to at least crash into an open field or something.

    RICHMOND IS ON THE MAP!

    but yeah the 19th was a busy day, there was a gas leak and 6 person homicide in surrey, then it was the horrible rain that cause a couple accidents on the highway, plus the airplane into the buildings across Richmond Public Market
    One person is dead and two people were injured after a small aircraft that took off from Vancouver International Airport Friday afternoon crashed into the 9th floor of an apartment building on a busy street in Richmond, B.C.

    no it wasn't a student pilot.. apparently it was an elderly man.. what i'm interested in knowing was why it crashed.. =\ but yeah i heard abt surrey too.. and thank goodness i got out of there before they cut off the sky trains.. crazy crazy day..

    and saturday was even more crazy.. for those who live in richmond.. notice the amount of traffic near saba road that you don't normally see? @_@ it was hectic getting around richmond with all this ppl who coming from wherever and wanting to see the crash... =.="
