A spokesperson for Harbour Air said one of its planes, with five passengers onboard for a sightseeing tour, collided with a boat after takeoff from the seaplane terminal.

Ouch, hope everyone involved recovers smoothly/quickly

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A number of people have been hospitalized after a seaplane collided with a boat in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour near Stanley Park on Saturday, officials confirmed.

A CBC reporter on the scene, near Canada Place, confirmed that rescue boats were circling a small plane in the water near Brockton Point in Stanley Park.

The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) said in a statement that a Harbour Air seaplane collided with a pleasure boat in the water around 1 p.m. PT.

A spokesperson for Harbour Air said one of its planes, with five passengers onboard for a sightseeing tour, collided with a boat after takeoff from the seaplane terminal.

A statement from the Joint Rescue Co-Ordination Centre (JRCC) in Victoria said officials received a call around 12:55 p.m. PT involving a floatplane and a boat in Coal Harbour.

“Kitsilano Coast Guard station sent two vessels to the scene — the Laredo Sound and a fast rescue craft,” the JRCC said.

The original article contains 337 words, the summary contains 154 words. Saved 54%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

As shown in the video, the rule about smaller vessels vs larger vessels was not followed, and the wheeeee boat guy failed to GTFO in a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel of the bigger vessel (the one with the blender on its nose). It’s a remarkable failure on the part of the wheeeeee boat captain.

We have licenses for boston whalers in boston whalers, right? Or is it just the airplane pilots who need to prove their knowledge?

I hope the civil case comes out well.
