RE: Small Plane Down In Richmond, BC
I live two blocks away but didn't witness it. I suspect engine failure, probably just one engine causing the loss of control and sudden turn. Taken off from 08R, and heading for YPK, it should be a straight out departure and quite unlikely that it will fly south. However, there's speculation that it...

NA, they were retired from the MAS fleet. But this doesn't mean they can't continue to fly with other airlines right? MAS 'sold' these planes to Focus Air. Long story short, it was a too good a deal for Focus Air for these two airframes.

MAS initially has two remaining B744s on order, which was later changed to an order for two freighters instead. And here they are. They will replace the two B742Fs that have already been retired last year. This will allow MASkargo to increase much needed capacity.
