Admin reply: Newspaper reports of looting for the most part were erroneous. The police assigned reputable citizens to guard the bodies and collect valuables which in turn were turned over to the police. No charges for looting were ever laid.
Many personal items were lost in the fire that ensued after the crash. For those wallets that were returned surviving family members indicated they believed there was no money missing as they knew the approximate amount their loved one was carrying. Your father's name is respectfully displayed on the cairn, along with the other victims. I trust this clarification will give you
some resolution. Feel free to contact me via e-mail if you wish to have additional information.
My deepest condolences to you on the loss of your father. Larry Shaak..author/publisher

Admin reply: The Harvard currently used is not the same type of aircraft. The two are similar in name only.

Admin reply: Thanks for your posting. At least 128 people witnessed this mid-air collision. Very few people however saw the airliner hit the house. Investigators interviewed many witnesses which assisted in the three Boards of Inquiry. Anyone reading the book who was a witness is encouraged to contact me as I continue to collect more information for a possible 2nd volume. While height is very difficult to estimate most witnesses said the collision occured 6,000 feet above the ground.
The airliner was on course and flying 6,000 above sea level, which is approximately 4,000 feet above the city of Moose Jaw. Very few witnesses could however correctly determine the location where the two planes collided. After interviewing a witness two years ago he claims the collision
occured above the CNR railroad crossing near the
Prairie Oasis Trailer Park. I believe this is correct as he was standing directly below the sight loading a fuel truck when he looked up and saw the two aircraft collide.
