Today’s Weather Trivia:

21 November 1957: 1957: A bush plane with 3 hunters went down in bad weather over Quebec's Lac Simon. A hunting dog's carcass washed up on shore, but no other bodies were found until 2006 when the site was mapped using side-scan sonar. One body (some flesh and organs still attached, its skull beside it in the silt) was found 15 m in front of the plane, a 2nd body 30 m behind it, and a 3rd in the cargo hold.
