原文:

Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said ‘This accident really shakes us to our core.’ Sunday's crash follows the downing of another Snowbird in the U.S. state of Georgia last October, where the team was scheduled to perform in an air show. Capt. Kevin Domon-Grenier sustained minor injuries when he ejected from the plane, which crashed into a farmer's field. No one else was hurt.

It's been a difficult few weeks for Nova Scotia and the Canadian military as a navy helicopter went down over the Mediterranean last month, killing six people-three of whom were from Nova Scotia. Casey's roots were in Nova Scotia-a province that saw a gunman kill 22 people in rampage amid the pandemic last month.

中譯:

坎盧普斯市長克里斯提安表示,此次事故確實讓他們至感震驚。週日的墜機事件前,尚有另一架「雪鳥」去年10月在美國喬治亞州墜毀,該小組預劃至該州執行一場空中表演。多蒙‧格瑞尼爾上尉當時自飛機彈射逃生,受輕傷,座機則墜毀在農田,無其他人員受傷。

就新斯科細亞省及加國軍方而言,這幾週來都很煎熬,因為上個月海軍一架直升機於地中海上空墜海,造成6人殉職,其中3員即來自該省。凱西的家族也發源於該省,而在上個月疫情大流行期間,該省還發生1名槍手殘暴殺害22條人命的事件。
