BNL's lead singer and principal songwriter, Ed Robertson, and three others narrowly averted disaster Sunday, walking away unscathed from a float-plane crash near Bancroft, Ontario.
According to the Intelligencer of Belleville, Ontario, Robertson was at the controls of a Cessna 206 when a gust of wind caused the plane to stall, forcing him to put down in a wooded area near the resort of Baptiste Lake.
While the plane was totaled, Robertson and his passengers were uninjured. Because the doors were jammed, they climbed out a window and then hiked out of the forest to a nearby road and reported the incident.
Officials declined to reveal the identities of the other occupants, but an acquaintance told the paper the passengers were the musician's wife, Natalie, and two family friends.
