A water bomber battling wildfires burning across B.C. has crashed south of Lytton in the Fraser Canyon.  The accident occurred at approximately 2030 local time.  Rescue attempts were made to reach the crew but the burning fires set off by the crash prevented any type of rescue.

Revolutionary Safety Stability System
Monday, 26 July 2010

Today Cirrus Aircraft announced the availability of Perspective ESP, a revolutionary safety and flight stability augmentation system by Garmin that will be available on Cirrus SR-Series Aircraft for new orders scheduled for Fall 2010 delivery. The key feature for Perspective ESP is that the system operates when the Garmin GFC 700 autopilot has been disengaged, that is when hand-flying. Perspective ESP operates in the background and if the pilot becomes incapacitated, disoriented or distracted, the system uses the digital autopilot servos and sensors to detect and help correct unsafe flight conditions. After it senses things are back to normal, it goes back into the background. Similar systems of this sophistication and capability were previously available only the world’s most advanced and most expensive ‘fly-by-wire’ business and military jets.
