Alps Plane Crash Kills Fifty-Eight Mostly Canadians
A Canadian airliner crashed on Mount L Obiou in the Alps killing 58, most of them Holy Year pilgrims from Rome. Rescue teams, led by General Valette Dosia, reported the wreckage strewn over a 500 yard area and bodies covered by snow. Guides battled rain and snow to locate the site, with fragments of a diary and photos of Pope Pius XII found near the wreckage. The crash followed a perilous ascent and came amid warnings of dangerous winter conditions in the area.
