Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he was “deeply saddened” by the death of Capt. Jennifer Casey, who served as a spokesperson for the Snowbirds, and the injuring of Capt. Richard MacDougall, one of the team’s coordinators and pilot of the aircraft who survived landing on the roof of a house. A local resident who lives seven houses from the crash site and had been watching the aircraft said he saw “the Snowbird going straight down.”
“It looked to me like it was mostly on the road, but it just exploded. It went everywhere,” she said. “In fact, I got a big, huge piece in my backyard. The cops said it was the ejection seat.” Marni Capostinsky said she lives across the street from the crash site and was out on the deck when she heard the plane getting closer.
