None of the victims of that military helicopter crash in the Mediterranean Sea were from Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Canadian Navy helicopter went down in the Ionian Sea off Greece during a NATO training exercise Wednesday night. Chief of the Defence Staff, General Jonathan Vance, says the helicopter’s flight recorders broke away from the wreckage and floated with a beacon that led a ship to recover them.
The six victims are from British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.
The one body recovered is that of Abbigail Cowbrough of Nova Scotia. She was only 23 years old and was a sub-lieutenant and an engineer who loved to play the bagpipes. She was a crew member aboard HMCS Fredericton.
