Incident edit
Body copy contradicts sidebar: Body says 'The crash site is 40 km (25 mi) west of 100 Mile House', whereas sidebar says '32 km (20 mi) west of 100 Mile House'.

Aftermath edit
I have not been able to find out what the investigation revealed about the bombing of this flight, whether the culprit was identified, how long it took to find the crash site, etc. There must be sources off line that have more information. I started the article, which is little better than a stub because it ought to be here but more information is needed to make it useful. --KenWalker | Talk 03:06, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Location edit
Seems to be some discrepancy on the location, east or west of 100 Mile House and how far? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.59.178.219 (talk) 06:08, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for catching that. Both sources say west of Hundred Mile (so I fixed that part) but one says 40 km and the other, a air accident web site, which claims to know the exact location according to the "official report" puts it at 32 km west. Will leave both as they are for now since there are sources for each claim, but it would be nice to get the actual location. --KenWalker | Talk 07:38, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Stumping powder edit
This term stumping powder sounds like a very recent term you don't usually hear associated with Canada today. Maybe in 1965 it was something common, but I have never heard of stumping powder being available in Canada. I think this segment requires a citation or reference material to back it up. The stumping powder theory originates from wikipedia which is not good enough.
Crash investigators found traces of acid that led them to believe a bomb in the lavatory was involved. Traces of potassium nitrate and carbon, consistent with a "low-velocity explosion" were found. Gunpowder or stumping powder causes a low-velocity explosion. The explosion damaged bulkheads in the lavatory, severed pipes in the tail and tore a metre-wide hole in the side of the fuselage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.138.36.68 (talk) 15:51, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
