Description:

Press conference held by Mr. Justice Willard Z. Estey to release his report on the investigation of the crash of the Arrow Air Douglas DC-8 jet at Gander, Newfoundland on December 12, 1985. Mr. Justice Estey concludes that there is no evidence to support either the Canadian Aviation Safety Board's majority report, which concluded that "ice contamination" on the wing was the most probable cause of the accident, or the minority report, which concluded that an on-board fire or explosion caused the crash. Two CASB members comment on the Estey report: Dr. Les Filotas, an engineer and one of the four CASB members who issued the dissenting minority report, and Dr. Kenneth Thorneycroft, CASB Chairman and one of the five authors of the majority report. Don Boudria, Member of Parliament (Glengarry-Prescott-Russell) and Liberal transport critic, also comments on the Estey report.
