Kamloops RCMP say help is available for people traumatized by last month’s fatal Snowbirds crash.

Last week, exactly a month after the crash, NL News went to Glenview Avenue where the plane crashed and spoke to neighbours. Resident Nolan McLeod admits people who live there are still troubled by it.

“Planes coming overhead still bother us. Sometimes they come so low that they sound exactly like the plane that was crashing. The sound of it just triggers the same trauma that I felt when the plane went down. And I saw it coming straight towards my house. So it’s not the same as it was before.”

Police says it’s common, and normal, for people to have an emotional aftershock after a tragedy like this.

“We went from our spirits being lifted to our hearts being broken alongside the squadron of Snowbirds,” Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says, talking about watching the Snowbirds planes dazzle on May 16th over Kamloops before the fatal crash the following day.

“If you are finding that yourself, a family member, friend or neighbour is still experiencing and struggling with the emotional and the physical effects of stress reactions from these events, there are resources available to help you.”

RCMP say the Interior Crisis Line Network is available 24-7, and the number to call is 1-888-953-CARE (2273).
