Waterbomber Crash
FILE -- A Conair water bomber flies past a wildfire burning out of control after dropping fire retardant on the other side of the mountain in Kelowna, B.C., in this July 20, 2009 file photo. A waterbomber, similar to the one shown, battling wildfires in the British Columbia interior crashed Saturday July 31, 2010. Captain Marguerite Dodds-Lepinski, the public affairs officer for the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Center in Victoria, says the aircraft was reported down Saturday night just before nine o'clock, local time. She said it was believed, but not confirmed, that the watertanker had two crewmembers on board. (AP Photo/The Canadian Press - Darryl Dyck)
