#OTD A Douglas DC-3 (Registration: CF-DGJ) operated by Eldorado Aviation took off from Edmonton Municipal Airport in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada at 11:37 for a flight to Port Radium with refueling stops a Fort Smith and Yellowknife. The aircraft climbed to 9000 feet on a direct route to Fort Smith. At 13:20 the aircraft was about abeam Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada when it encountered freezing rain. The course was changed to Embarras with the intention of joining the airway and following it as far as Fort Smith. Ice built up rapidly and the aircraft descended to 7000 feet. This altitude could not be maintained, so the crew continued down to 5000 feet, still running through rain squalls. Further altitude was lost and at 4500 feet severe turbulence was encountered. This, together with the accumulation of ice, caused the plane to descend further until it struck trees. The captain closed the throttles and carried out a forced landing, both pilots survived.
