Narrative:An amateur built Acro Sport with two people on board departed Manitou to return to its home base of Lyncrest, and after a pass over the Manitou airstrip, the aircraft descended rapidly into a lagoon.
Both male occupants were fatally injured.
A small airplane carrying two men believed to be from Winnipeg crashed Wednesday night 22 August 2012 just moments after taking off from the airstrip in Manitou, a town about 140 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg.
The plane crashed at about 8 p.m. into the community lagoon, 1.5 kilometres north of Manitou, and was partially submerged before people could get to it.
A witness said he fears both men didn't survive.
