Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Wreck scene: An Air Canada plane rolled off a runway and into a ravine when a takeoff had to be aborted in June of 1978...There have been several suggestions to prevent a recurrence; but a reader says the best plan might be to convert the area into a garbage fill site.
