this video shows air seaplanes at dock in Vancouver after one crashed and sank.

Details remain unclear about how a Harbour Air seaplane crashed into a small boat in Vancouver Harbour.

The collision, which occurred between Vancouver's downtown seaplane terminal and Stanley Park in the Burrard Inlet's Coal Harbour, resulted in the plane sinking to the bottom.

Amidst the busy harbour, filled with cargo ships, passenger ferries, and even several cruise ships, the situation could have been much worse.

Fortunately, nearby small boats swiftly responded, rescuing passengers from the plane before it sank.

Several passengers were taken to the hospital for treatment.

One of the area’s transit systems, the "Sea Bus" (a small passenger ferry seen in several of the videos), was also ready to deploy life rafts, though quick action from other boaters made this unnecessary.

An investigation into the incident is currently ongoing.

Vancouver, BC, Canada - June 8, 2024

Details are still unclear as to how a Harbour Air Sea Plane crashed in the Vancouver harbour and collided with a small boat earlier today. The plane sank to the bottom after the collision.

The collision happened between Vancouver's downtown seaplane terminal and Stanley Park in the Burrard Inlet. The section of the inlet where this happened is known as Coal Harbour. The plane sank after the collision.

Given the number of cargo ships, passenger ferries and even several Cruise ships in the harbour today, it could have been much worse.

Small boats in the area responded and rescued the passengers from the plane before it sank to the bottom of the water. Several passengers were transported to the hospital.

One of the area's transit system, "Sea Busses" (a small passenger ferry in several of the videos in this batch) did also respond, ready to deploy life rafts. They were not required with the quick action of other boaters in the waters. The investigation is ongoing.
