Fortunately, no serious injuries.......
C-GIPR, a wheel-equipped Cessna C208 aircraft operated by Bamaji Air Inc., was conducting a
visual flight rules (VFR) flight from Sioux Lookout (CYXL) ON, to an ice strip on Springpole Lake,
ON with the pilot and 1 passenger onboard. Approximately 17 nm NNW of CYXL the aircraft
impacted the frozen surface of Lac Seul. The ELT activated and was detected by the Search and
Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking (SARSAT) system. A DND aircraft that was conducting training in
the area responded and SARTECHs parachuted into the site. The occupants suffered minor
injuries and the aircraft sustained substantial damage. There was no fire. The TSB is investigating.

Nothing but dumb luck prevented this from being a plane load of fatalities.
The only three things a wingman should ever say: 1. "Two's up" 2. "You're on fire" 3. "I'll take the fat one"

Re: Bamaji Air Caravan Hits Ice
I’ve seen photos of what’s left of the aircraft. It was a bad wreck, and they are lucky nobody died.
I’m not going to pretend to know exactly what happened, but knowing the location of the accident and the weather of the day, it’s not hard to figure out what happened. It’s happened before, and will probably happen again.

Whiteout conditions. Instrument flying required.
