Yeah, it looks like a lot of things all went wrong with that flight. Which the passenger didn't even want in the first place.

At least the ordeal exposed the flaw in the ejection seats.

Awhile back I mentioned that Harbour Air, the world's largest seaplane based airline is planning to convert their fleet to electric by using a 750 hp. MagniX motor.
Based out of Vancouver, the 42 aircraft will start being switched in a couple of years after testing finishes. The first, a De Havilland Beaver took to the air a few months ago.

Skip the first four minutes, it's all taxiing across the water before lift-off. That's the Fraser River below.
