 Weather Trivia

On this day... Feb 07, 1950

'A Greyhound bus, rounding an icy curve west of Winnipeg, MB, crashed through a bridge guardrail and plummeted 3 m into a snow-filled slough. Twenty-nine passengers scrambled to safety before the bus burst into flames. A semi-trailer loaded with cattle turned over as it came to a stop 50 metres away from the burning bus. Rain, snow, plunging temperatures and a 60-km/h wind were factors in the mishap.'
