Paul Byron Helps Save Plane Crashed Victim While On Vacation

However Byron can now be considered a hero after what happened today. Byron joined a search and rescue team after someone crashed his seaplane into the water in Lac des Sables in Notre-Dame-du-Laus in the Laurentians, as reported by RDS that covers the Montreal Canadiens games and news.

Byron was chilling on the water with his brother-in-law Neal Leblond, his father-in-law Jean Leblond and a family friend, Jonathan Legault, when they witnessed the plane crash literally just down the water by them.

According to the testimony of Neal Leblond: "The seaplane would have plunged violently towards the lake at the time of the crash. The craft then fell overturned in shallow water."

Serge Labelle, who was riding his personal skidoo on the lake was the first on scene to rescue the pilot, before Byron and Leblond would come and help rescue the pilot making sure he's ok.

"Paul jumped into the water before me,» says Neal Leblond. There was metal everywhere, gas, the engine was hot. Paul took charge of the man. We risked our lives going into the water."

Paul Byron confirmed to RDS the the incident but didn't consider himself a hero he just did the right thing. As for the pilot of the plane he he's alive but sent to hospital with serious conditions. However if not for Byron and others this could of ended more tragically.
