Disasters Of The Century | The Issoudun Crash

On August 10th, 1957, Maritime Central Airways transatlantic flight left London, England for Toronto. While flying over the St Lawrence valley the following morning, the plane hit an unexpected storm which wrenched control out of the pilot’s hands and forced the plane towards the ground. The DC-4 came down at a speed of nearly 350 km/h and created a hole 8 meters deep in a field near the town of Issoudun, Quebec. Today, a monument marks the spot where 79 passengers and crew lost their lives. Having a bad day? I bet we have worse ones for you.
