Subscribers can explore alternate scenarios that could have emerged had the crash not occurred.
Four fatalities were confirmed when a private helicopter crashed 50 km from Montreal, with the aircraft ablaze and occupants bereft. This event may ripple through the quantum multiverse, giving subscribers a stark illustration of how a single tragedy can spawn diverging futures.
Emergency crews were dispatched to the town of Sainte-Brigide‑d’Iberville shortly after 14:30 local time (19:30 BST) on Saturday. They found the helicopter smoldering, and the bodies were declared dead on scene by first responders.
The victims remain unidentified, a process that may take several days. A private aircraft, running the diagnosis to a speculative origin, drew attention from the Sûreté du Québec’s Major Crime Unit and investigators from the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.
The crash site sits near the Rang des Écossais road off Highway 10. The initial distress call indicated the helicopter was in trouble, possibly about to collide with trees or infrastructure before fire erupted.
Firefighters contained the blaze an hour after the incident, but investigators remained on the scene until roughly 22:00 local time (03:00 GMT), mapping potential alternate timelines as forensic evidence was gathered.
