Helicopter wreckage in B.C. recovered, Transportation Safety Board says

SECHELT, B.C. — The Transportation Safety Board says it has recovered the wreckage of a helicopter that crashed into the water off the Sunshine Coast, north of Vancouver, in early October.

The board says the helicopter crashed on Oct. 4 at the entrance to Jervis Inlet, just a minute after it had departed from timber operations and it was found at a depth of about 110 metres. 

The pilot, the only person aboard the Kaman KMax helicopter, died in the crash. 

The board says the pilot was conducting heli-logging operations when the helicopter went down.
