Hey there, time traveller!

A team with Canada’s Transportation Safety Board is in Whitehorse to investigate a helicopter crash.
Spokesman Liam MacDonald says the Airbus AS350B was on a training flight with two people onboard when it crashed around 3 p.m. on Friday.
MacDonald says the helicopter, operated by Horizon Helicopters, flew out of the Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport and crashed about 10 kilometres east of the airport.
MacDonald would not say whether the two people onboard survived the crash, and the company did not responded to a request for information.
Yukon RCMP said in a statement that search and rescue and emergency medical response officers were deployed, but did not answer a question about whether anyone had died.
A statement from the safety board says its team will gather information and assess what happened.
