Griffintown Airplane Crash Site Apr 1944

                It was a most horrendous crash, the daylight turned to darkness outside the windows of our classroom facing onto Ottawa St, no more than 150 yards from this site.  Our teacher was in perfect control, a fellow of the Christian Brothers order by the name of Brother Henry. Quiet! Stand! Now let's all file out into the schoolyard and no pushing.  When we got out there and looked in the direction of whatever had taken place, it was flames leaping up 50 feet in the air and an all encomposing smell of gasoline.  On the sloped roof of the house directly opposite the school, on Colborne St.. was the wing of an airplane.
    Mr. Tremblay, the barber who had a barbershop on the corner of Ottawa & Shannon never again gave a shave to any of his customers.
