An inquest into the deaths of four Hydro One employees killed in a December 2017 helicopter crash in eastern Ontario has begun.
The employees -- 39-year-old James Baragar, 27-year-old Kyle Shorrock and 26-year-olds Jeff Howes and Darcy Jansen -- were working on a transmission tower in Tweed, Ont., and crashed when their chopper was approaching to land.
A 2019 report from the Transportation Safety Board found an improperly secured tool bag hit the rear rotor of the helicopter, causing it to crash into a snow-covered field, killing pilot Baragar and power line technicians Shorrock, Howes and Jansen. Presiding officer David Eden told the inquest jury its objective is to determine the circumstances surrounding the men's deaths and possibly make recommendations aimed at preventing similar deaths in the future.
