Sandspit, British Columbia

On July 15, 2014, Don McNeice and Richard Pick’s float plane crashed on Cheney Point in the Seaforth Channel, in British Columbia. As fire broke out on the aircraft, Mr. Pick quickly unfastened one injured passenger and pulled him out. Realizing the pilot was still trapped in his harness, Mr. Pick and Mr. McNeice hurried to remove him from the wreckage before the plane was completely engulfed in flames. Mr. Pick and Mr. McNeice provided first aid to the victims while nearby boaters contacted first responders.
