A tragic crash - Ice Pilots NWT S01E08 - True Story

After the Turkey crew arrives in Newfoundland, Cory discovers a potentially dangerous leak in the fuel lines. Anxious about their limited window to depart safely, he stays behind from the cold-water survival course to fix it, while Arnie, Justin and the other pilots press on. The course is sobering; the stark dangers of what they are about to do are sinking in. Then, tragedy. A helicopter crashes off the coast of Newfoundland. Ironically, the raging winds hampering rescue efforts give the Buffalo boys their long- awaited tailwind. Will they chance the treacherous North Atlantic crossing? Back in Yellowknife, cranky mechanic Chuck tries his damndest to prep the Electra for a fuel haul to Baker Lake, but gets foiled at every turn. Mikey, seeking a way to show his affection for his undemonstrative father, tries to make a cake for Joe’s 65th birthday – even though he's never baked. And the Buffalo gang convene at the Ice Castle for AJ and Candace’s wedding.
