Ca- nadian aviation history and the second worst single - plane dis- aster in civilian world flying. The sleek four-engined giant, pride of the TCA fleet, slammed into a muddy field minutes af- ter taking off from Montreal International Airport bound for Toronto, less than an hur's fly- ing time away. The flight was TCA's No. 831. Eyewitnesses could not agree whether the aircraft exploded before crashing or blew up and burst .into flames when it hit the ground. An Oshawa man who cheated death by minutes tells his story on page 11. Heavy traffic forced the man to miss the ill-fated DC-7 Jet. He describes his escape as "a mirdcle from God." But all agreed there was a tremendous explosion--one man said it was like an atomic bomb"--and a red ball of fire burst into the air and lit up a wide area.

President Gordon: R. McGre- gor of TCA said it would be dif- ficult to determine the cause of the crash. Investigators normally can piece together what happened by picking up a limited amount of wreckage, he said, but "I am not cheerful about the ties of getting informa' these parts because the breakup is so severe." sibili- n from Another TCA official said there was no question of sabo- tage in the disaster nor was downpour|oioson etare the pane Mt the 'and crashed af 6:32 p.m. near Montreal.
