    VANCOUVER — The coast guard says a passenger seaplane has made an emergency landing not far from the Tsawwassen, B.C., ferry terminal after its pilot fainted.

    Harbour Air says its aircraft was coming into Vancouver from Victoria Harbour when it was forced to make the early landing.

    It went down into some mud flats near the terminal at about 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

    Harbour Air says there were six people on board. No injuries were reported.

    The company says the passengers and crew have now been taken to their destination by another seaplane that was immediately dispatched. (CKNW)
