The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) Messerschmitt Bolkow-Blohm Bo-105 helicopter that crashed in the M’Clure Strait north of Banks Island, Northwest Territories on Sept. 9 has been located by ArcticNet’s Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV). A team consisting of the CCG, ArcticNet and the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) is working to recover it.
The ice and weather conditions will continue to present a significant challenge to the recovery operation. While the aim is to recover the helicopter as quickly as possible, ensuring the safety of the personnel and vessels involved in this operations is a first priority.
The TSB will provide a more detailed update on the recovery efforts when more information becomes available. The TSB would like to thank the CCG and ArcticNet for their assistance. The TSB investigation is ongoing.
