Two small aircraft collide and come down in shopping centre parking lot near Montreal

Thanks rapidwolve, I just come back from skiing and the Gazette finally woke up and reported.

Thanks for the English language links. I'm just a gringo who only speaks 100% real English and bad English. In about 1979 on my drive from Detroit,USA to Cochrane, Ontario, Canada we stopped into a shop and picked up a t shirt that read "I am a virgin it is old". I lost it in 1980 during my European vacation and the bag with that bag contained was stolen from our unlocked rental car in Marseilles, France. I hope the criminal enjoyed it.

I guess the rooftop snow may have reduced the fire risk.
Thanks for posting the thread

It's possible the leaking avgas mixing with roofing material smelled like it.

This probably came from the local fire chief. He spoke about kerosene during a TV interview, and journalists have generally do not have a lot of knowledge about aviation, so they did not challenge this.

I remember when any small aircraft was a "Piper Cub" in news reports.

WTH are you talking about?..it happened in a large percentage french speaking province with a french newspaper the first to publish...nothing to do with the aviation landscape at all!

English and French are the official languages of Canada. I have seen bilingual EVERYTHING in Canada. The food packages in the grocery stores are in both languages.

What are you talking about? The first info on the incident was in a French newspaper from Montreal. It took the English papers a long while before they got the info out. It's not the problem of French newspapers if their English competitors are slow or incompetent. There is no requirement that any press release must be in French. The official language in aviation may be English, and the communication between the tower and the pilots in this case was in English. Maybe your coffee was too strong this afternoon?

I suppose the ones dictating the papers publish in French are the French-speaking subscribers. Thank you for reminding me how parochial I can be sometimes.

Think before commenting.

And dumbass is your official language
