Flying car accident in B.C. under investigation
Toronto Sun ^ | May 11, 2013

It's a good bet the Transportation Safety Board of Canada has never investigated such a bizarre air accident.

On Friday, an airborne car crashed near Ellison Elementary School in Vernon, B.C., after the parachute it uses to stay afloat collapsed.

The pilot and a passenger were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, the RCMP told Global News.

The Maverick LSA Flying Car was made in the Florida by I-TEC and is certified by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.

On its site, I-TEC says the powered parachute's "design has been developed as an easy-to-operate – air, land, and snow craft. It is intuitive and safe to fly, drive and maintain by people in frontier areas of the world enabling them to use this unique vehicle in missions and humanitarian applications."

Unicorn sprinkles and good wishes.
Needs a push from a caveman thumping stick to start off.

Still not my fault.

LOL Darks. I want to know if your coffee was in the air or in the car engine.

Perhaps you meant “kids show” when you said “cartoon.” The “actors” were actually filmed marionettes.

We’ll need to call in an expert on the subject as to whether it is my fault or not!
Sweets?
