First responders attend to a person on a rooftop at the scene of a crash involving a Canadian Forces Snowbirds airplane in Kamloops, British Columbia, Sunday, May 17, 2020.
“It is with heavy hearts that we announce that one member of the CF Snowbirds team has died and one has sustained serious injuries,” The Royal Canadian Air Force said in a tweet. “It looked to me like it was mostly on the road, but it just exploded. It went everywhere,” she said. “In fact, I got a big, huge piece in my backyard. The cops said it was the ejection seat.”
“I just started running down the street. And I got there maybe a minute after it crashed and there was a couple of residents that had their hoses out and they were trying to put the flames out because it hit a house,” he said. “It looked like most of it landed in the front yard, but maybe a wing or something went through the roof perhaps.”
Operation Inspiration started in Nova Scotia earlier this month and features the team’s signature nine-jet formation. It was aimed at boosting morale amid the pandemic.
✝ R.I.P
This is so sad!🙏🏻💙🇨🇦
Aerobatic.
So sad. Heartbroken for the families of the pilots.
Rest in Peace Canadians
So sad. They were trying to do something uplifting for the community. God bless. Praying for victims and family.
So very sad
They should not be crashing their planes into Britain 🇬🇧 This is a terrorist attack plain and simple
'Aerobatic' not 'acrobatic'.
stupid white peepo
Oh no, my thoughts are with our Canadian neighbors. ❤️
God be with the family. This is a humbling moment for Canada strong and free. We bow our knee and ask for God’s good grace to reign over us once again.

CNN reports that the aircraft tested positive for COVID19.
RIP!
