Seven people died in a plane crash on a remote island off British Columbia's south coast on Sunday, but one man _ a passenger _ walked out alive. The Joint Rescue Coordination Center in Victoria confirmed seven of the eight people on board the Grumman Goose airplane had been found dead. «The great news is, some guy ... walked out and is alive and the Canadian Coast Guard found him on the beach» of Thormanby Island, said Lt. Margeurite Dodds-Lepinski of the rescue center. Pacific Coastal Airlines vice president Spencer Smith said the survivor was a passenger. He was taken to a hospital after telling rescuers that he scrambled out of the wreckage just before it exploded in flames. He followed a creek bed down to a beach, where rescuers found him. Smith said the pilot, who was among the dead, was quite experienced, according to a report of Associated Press.
