In the Chilliwack aircraft disaster, three people died, including two Indians

According to media sources, two student pilots from India were among the three people who perished in a tiny aircraft accident in Canada’s British Columbia province.

The tiny twin-engine light aircraft, a Piper PA-34 Seneca, that crashed on Friday near the regional airport in Chilliwack, British Columbia, was carrying Abhay Gadru and Yash Ramugade, both 25 years old and from Mumbai.

Gadru arrived in Canada three years ago to finish his pilot training, and the Vancouver Sun newspaper on Saturday cited his cousin Sdradha Trisal as claiming that he was due to graduate from a program in November.

He had such an innocent spirit. Trisal said, “I can’t believe he’s gone and all I have now are memories.

The aircraft disaster claimed the lives of three persons in all.

According to the story, Gadru’s brother Chirag, who also resides in British Columbia, is working to return his brother’s remains to their Indian-born parents.

The second of the three fatalities, according to the Canadian news site CTV News Vancouver, was also a Mumbai native named Yash Ramugude.

There was a lot of information concerning Gadru, but not much was known about Ramugade.

The Piper Seneca, which seemed to have significant damage, is a Piper Seneca owned by Langley-based SkyQuest Aviation, a flying school, according to the registration number on the tail of the aircraft. It was constructed in 1972.

“We’re investigating it, but we’re not making any announcements. Under the condition of anonymity, a SkyQuest Aviation administrative employee stated, “At this point, there is nothing we can tell.
