A member of the Canadian Forces Snowbird died and another is seriously
injured after a jet that was scheduled to perform a flyover to honor first
responders during the coronavirus pandemic crashed into the roof of a
house and burst into flames Sunday in Kamloops, British Columbia.

The Royal Canadian Air Force confirmed the news on Twitter, adding that
all primary family members of those involved in the crash have been
contacted and more information will be released at a later time.

The Canadian Air Force did not offer specifics on the identities of the
deceased or injured.

The pilot managed to eject from the jet before it crashed and eyewitnesses
said they saw a parachute on the roof with the jet on fire in the front
yard of the house, according to reports by CBC News.

The group is seen as an equivalent to the United States' Blue Angels and
Thunderbirds.

TOGETHER'

British Columbia Minister of Health Adrian Dix said paramedics and air
ambulances rushed to the scene and at took at least one person to the
hospital.

Kamloops Airport's aircraft rescue fleet was assisting at the crash scene
and the Canadian Forces Snowbird's official Twitter described the incident
as "a developing situation."

CF Snowbirds reported low cloud cover on Sunday which was "unsafe for
flying 9 jets," hindering the scheduled flyover in the Okanagan area.

"We are going to preposition to Comox to start working our way west," the
CF Snowbirds tweeted.

They later posted: "Don’t worry, the longer term forecast looks better and
we plan to be back on our way home to Moose Jaw! Keep watching our page
for updates and enjoy your Sunday!"

Just a day before, the jets performed a flyover in Alberta, but when the
aircraft arrived in Kamloops on Saturday, a Snowbirds pilot said the team
was dealing with some "electrical malfunctions," CBC reported.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.

Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
5, 2020. "President Trump, Not Guilty."

I feel kinda worse for the guy who got hurt than the girl who died.
More for her friends and family; she died doin' what she liked.
There's a lot worse ways to go.
