Rossland Range Plane Crash
On October 18, 1947 a Royal Canadian Air Force plane carrying nine people crashed in the Rossland Range. The aircraft was heading north in stormy weather with seven military personnel and two civilians. The weather was grim that day, it was the first snow of the season, the wind was howling, it was foggy, and visibility was very limited.
