Officer calls Snowbirds crash 'nightmare' as probe begins

A team of military investigators has arrived in British Columbia to begin searching for answers into Sunday's deadly Snowbirds jet crash.

The aerobatic team's commander described as a confluence of ``worst-case scenarios, and it became our absolute worst nightmare.''

The Snowbirds had been in the midst of a cross-country tour aimed at boosting morale during the COVID-19 pandemic.

One Canadian Armed Forces member, Capt. Jennifer Casey, a spokesperson, was killed while another, Capt. Richard MacDougall, who was piloting the aircraft, sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries.
