Joseph-Albert Guay (most commonly known as Albert Guay) (23 September 1917 – 12 January 1951), a resident of Quebec City, Canada, was responsible for the in-flight bombing of a passenger flight on 9 September 1949, killing all aboard, including his wife Rita, the intended victim. Within 16 months of the explosion, Guay was tried, convicted and executed for the crime. Within another two years, Guay's two accomplices were also executed. ==The flight== The aeroplane was a Canadian Pacific Airlines Douglas DC-3 aircraft (registry CF-CUA S/N: 4518) flying from Montreal to Baie-Comeau with a stopover at Quebec City. It was there that Rita Morel (Mme Guay) boarded the plane, unknowingly bringing along the bomb. The bomb was made of dynamite attached to an alarm clock and secreted in the baggage of Rita Guay. It exploded over Cap Tourmente near a small locality named Sault-au-Cochon (sometimes incorrectly given as "Sault-aux-Cochons"), near Saint-Joachim in the Charlevoix region, causing the plane to crash and killing all four crew members and nineteen passengers. The flight was delayed five minutes at takeoff; this apparently thwarted Guay's original intent to have the explosion take place over the Saint Lawrence River, which would have made forensic examination of the crash impossible with the technology then available to forensic scientists. Apart from Rita Morel Guay, the victims included four children and three American executives from the Kennecott Copper Corporation including the retiring President E.T. Stannard; his designated successor, Arthur D. Storke; and Russell Johnston Parker, a Vice-president and father of typographer and type designer Mike Parker. The airline involved is sometimes stated as "Quebec Airways", but this was simply a name used for some Canadian Pacific Airlines flights in Quebec. The Flight Number was 108 departing L'Ancienne-Lorette airport on a stopover flight onward to Baie-Comeau. While the bombing was not the first proven instance of sabotaging a passenger flight for criminal purposes, it was the first to be solved and, as such, received wide news media coverage both locally and abroad. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albert Guay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
