Plane crashes into sea off Canada: TV Reports

Dec 7, 2005 — OTTAWA (Reuters) - An aircraft crashed into the sea off the Canadian Atlantic province of New Brunswick on Wednesday, television reports said.

Early reports said the plane was a four-engined Hercules transport plane. But a spokesman for Canada's military told CTV Television that none of its Hercules planes were missing, and there were also reports that it might have been a small craft.
