"Some one say Lucky?"

Well things have been somewhat 'different' over the last few weeks. The case I was involved in the person has given his permission to tell the story.
it was at the weekend just recently, and I was on call(Something that every northern Nurse will do, and usually dislikes). The phone rang, and I answered. " Dawson City Nursing Station emergency line." " A plane's gone down." "What?" I answered, now that they have gain my full attention. " A small plane has crashed, you'll need to send an ambulance right now." The man then gave me an address that was on the other side of the river. I asked for more details, and he could not give me anything more; no casualties, not even the make of plane, nothing, not even a phone number He was using a new cell phone and could not remember the number to it.
Now at this point, it would be wise to let everyone know the circumstances that are , at the least unique to our area. We have 2 rivers, the Yukon and the Klondike. The Yukon has a ferry that operates until ' freeze-up', when it is taken out of the river. Then they wait until an 'Ice bridge' can be made to allow traffic to cross the river again. We where in the middle of freeze up, so no ferry, no ice bridge....NO way across the river, not with all the equipment we would need for a"Plane crash". It is dangerous even in a small skiff or canoe to navigate through all the ice, some of which are as big as a truck.
SO, back to the story. I quickly called the air traffic controller in our small airport here. No flights had taken off from the airport since Air North took off over a hour ago. Next I called the RCMP. Their response initially was the same as mine. We then exchanged details, and location of the accident. The position is about 6 KM from the town, and we can see no smoke, there is no reports of a loud crash or explosion. But in collaboration, we devised a plan of action. They would verify the details of the plane, and any passengers on board. I call the 2 helicopter companies to see if they knew anything and also to arrange the flight to the area if needed. No answer at either company. This was not a great surprise as both companies had been busy flying out to the mining camps all week.
Well, to say that things where now getting exciting would be an under statement. Within 20 minutes, we found out it was a Cessna, yellow in colour. There where 2-3 people on board at the time, no sure of the names. They had taken off from the airport, on the private part of the runway. They did not need clearance as it was a 'quick flight' of 10 minutes. At an attitude of several hundred feet, basically up the down. No reports of any problems with the plane though.
This was all happening area 2p.m. in the afternoon, clear skies. Yet no-one saw a thing, except for my caller earlier. 30 minutes go by, nothing new was found out. We had called several of the residencies across the river, nothing. No-one had heard or saw anything. We had to wait as nothing could be verified.
3 hours passed, then I get a call from the Nursing Stations main lobby.
