Canadian Air Force report: The cause of the crash of the "Snowbird" aircraft may be the impact of birds
The preliminary investigation report issued by the Canadian Air Force on June 1 local time believes that the cause of the crash of the Canadian "Snowbird" air show team on May 17 may be the impact of birds.
The report’s conclusion comes from a video of the crash, which shows a bird approaching the plane’s engine. Subsequently, a crash occurred.
The report also stated that the investigation will continue to examine the seat ejection system of the "Snowbird" aircraft.
On May 17, local time, when two planes of the Canadian Air Force "Snowbird" air show team were training near Kamloops, British Columbia, one plane suddenly lost control and fell to the ground. He was killed and the male pilot was injured. After the plane lost control, the ejection seat played a role, but it still caused a serious accident of one death and one injury. The original plan of the "Snowbird" air show was also forced to be suspended. (Headquarters reporter Zhang Sen)
