Police and ambulance vehicles rushed to
the scene of a reported plane crash in the
Vancouver
,
British Columbia
suburb of
Surrey
last Sunday but were relieved to find that it was only someone's dreams
that had been shattered. According to the
Vancouver
Sun, a woman and her young son called 911 after they saw the 1.5-meter
radio-controlled model of a Cessna go down in a field next to one of
Surrey
's busiest streets. The field is often used by RC enthusiasts. From there,
the case of mistaken identity took on a life of its own. Media outlets monitoring the police and ambulance radio
channels began broadcasting bulletins about the "crash." And the authorities responded in force.
"We sent all our cars down there thinking there was a small
ultralight or a small plane that had crashed but after going there we
determined it was a model Cessna," said Cpl. Steven Han of the Surrey
Royal Canadian Mounted Police. (Either that, or
Vancouver
is populated by giants.)
