The Bombing of a Canadian Pacific DC3 St. Joachim, Quebec September 9, 1949

The DC3 airliner that crashed into 2,000 foot Mt. Torment in Quebec on September 9, 1949 was destined for Baie Comeau. On board were 19 passengers and a crew of four. One of the passengers, Rita Guay, was the wife of a Quebec City jeweler who had taken out a $10,000 life insurance policy on her two days before takeoff. Rita was unaware that her husband was trying to get rid of her in order to pursue a teenage waitress with whom he was carrying on an affair. The DC3 was also carrying three mining executives who were touring some new mining areas of Quebec that offered titanium deposits.
