1957-1944= 13 years old. That was before I learned how to read the Winnipeg Tribune!
Sorry, I have no recollection of this at all. I was in Grade 7 and was tied up with listening to Elvis', and saying he's no good, all he is , is a truck driver!

Yup, iceing. Oct 6th, 2005.

Interesting trivia: Among the cargo were vials of influenza research viruses. They burned up in the wreck. A few months later a van with vials of ebola was in a minor accident in Winnipeg. The vials were VERY securely packed.

A few month after it opened, the Arlington bus I was on was diverted because the area around the federal virology lab was evacuated.

As it turned out the battery place across the street had spilled some battery acid, which had the potential to form a poisonos cloud.

Only in Winnipeg would a Class 4 virology lab be evacuated because the neighbors spilled something.
