The charred wreckage of a small helicopter lies in the middle of a corn field in St. Brigide D’Iberville, Que.,just over 50 kilometres Southeast of Montreal. Three members of a family and a pilot were killed when the chopper crashed and burst into flames on Saturday afternoon. The pilot has been identified as 50-year-old Suzanne Jutras, who owned the aircraft and had about 500 hours of flying experience. Jutras provided helicopter tours as an attraction at a local festival. The Transportation Safety Board has dispatched two investigators, and provincial police are also looking into the case. Former Transportation Safety Board Investigator Andre Turenne says there is no black box on this type of helicopter, and that due to the condition of the wreckage, it will take time for investigators to figure out the circumstances of the crash, leaving mourning families full of questions.
