Two People Gone Missing in Canadian Wilderness
Caleb Lakamp, October 12, CNN, Washington
At 1:30 in the afternoon yesterday, a bush plane with one passenger and one pilot went missing after the passenger reported the pilot having heart problems. This plane was flying over the Canadian Bush when it went missing.
The passenger was a 13 year old boy named Brian Robeson that was going up to Alaska to visit his father for the summer when his plane crashed. Also on the plane was drilling equipment that was going to a drilling facility in Alaska.
After further investigation an air traffic controller had said they had heard something about heart issues with the pilot. It is thought that the plane went down about ⅓ of the way into its trip
The mother and father had divorced the year before we had reached out to both of them for a comment the father had said to us “He’s a strong kid, wherever he is, whether it’s in heaven or if he somehow he’s alive I just want him to be ok”.
The mother at an earlier News Conference said “ He’s a strong kid and I know that he will survive, we just need to look, please be with us in our prayers”.
Searching underway for the plane and the passenger and pilot. A memorial will be held for the Pilot and Brian on November 1st at the State Capital. Please pray for the two.
