NEWS OF 2011: Pilot avoids catastrophe in Saskatoon plane crash

You could call it a miracle near 51st Street after a twin-engine geosurveying  plane narrowly missed a grocery store, homes and cars and crashed on wall in north Saskatoon this spring.

On April 1, the plane crashed just past the intersection of 51st Street and Wanuskewin Drive in Saskatoon's north end.

Eyewitnesses like Ian called in from the crash site the night went down.

“It landed on top of the sound barrier. One wing is on one side of the sound barrier. The other wing is flipped over on the other side,” he said.
