RICHMOND (NEWS1130) - Witnesses report seeing a small plane crash on approach to the runway and ended up on Russ Baker Way.
Steve called News1130 says he was one of the first on scene and broke open the door to the plane. "We pulled 6 out of the 7 passengers out. The fire department showed up, they're working on getting the pilot out now."
VANCOUVER - The pilot killed during yesterday's fiery plane crash near Vancouver International Airport yesterday has been identified as a 44-year-old North Vancouver man.
The B.C. Coroner Service confirmed this morning that the pilot, 44-year-old Luc Fortin of North Vancouver, died from "thermal" injuries. The co-pilot remains in critical condition with burns to 80 per cent of his body.

As of 9 a.m. Friday morning, two patients involved in the crash remained in the intensive care unit at VGH, according to a Vancouver Coastal Health release. Four other patients from the crash are in stable, but serious condition at VGH, and two others were released from hospital last night after receiving treatment—one from VGH and one from Richmond.
No patients remain at Richmond Hospital, said VCH spokeswoman, Trudi Beutel, in the release, adding that all next of kin have been notified.
She said no further patient details will be released by VCH at this time.
The names of the two pilots who died in a plane crash in Richmond, B.C. on Thursday night have been released. The victims have been identified as 28-year-old Jeremy Sunderland and 23-year-old Matthew Pedersen. Both had a thirst for life and a passion for flying.
Glad to know that all 8 victims from the plane survived (plus a few more injured one way or another), but let's pray that they'll all make it because many (at least everyone from the plane, I think) are in critical condition.
