The aircraft was a four-engine Douglas DC-8-54CF airliner, registered CF-TJN. About five minutes after takeoff in poor weather, the jet crashed about north of Montreal, near Ste-Thérèse-de-Blainville, Quebec, Canada, killing all 118 people on board: 111 passengers and 7 crew members. The crash was the deadliest in Canadian history at that time, and is still the third-deadliest in Canada behind Swissair Flight 111 and Arrow Air Flight 1285.〔 〕 It was also the worst crash of DC-8 at the time, and is currently the sixth worst.〔 〕 ==Sequence of events== At 6:28 P.M., the DC-8 began its takeoff roll on Dorval airport's runway 06R. The crew reported back when they reached and were given clearance for a left turn. It was shortly after the clearance was given that the aircraft deviated from its expected flight path, and began a quick descent. At about 6:33 P.M. the jet struck the ground at an estimated while descending at about a 55-degree angle (± 7 degrees).〔 The aircraft had plunged into a soggy field, in Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, about 100 metres from the main highway that leads to the Laurentian Mountains. One witness said she saw what looked like "a long red streak in the sky" just before the crash.〔 The red-trimmed, silver jet dug a crater deep and wide in the ground that soon began to fill with rainwater.〔 〕 Although parts of the plane were scattered over a wide area, the aircraft had broken into two main sections when it struck the ground. 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「Trans-Canada Air Lines Flight 831」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
