English: Remembering a day of tragedy and heroism, U.S. Consul General Allison Areias Vogel unveiled a plaque to commemorate a plane crash in Québec 75 years ago. On November 2, 1942, PBY Catalina, a U.S. Army Air Forces amphibious plane, was lost off the Canadian coast near the village of Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan. Nine crew members were on board when the aircraft sank after slamming into high waves during an attempted takeoff. The town’s fishermen braved the churning waters to find four crew members clinging to the fuselage before the plane sank into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Five other Americans, including the pilot, were trapped inside the seaplane and lost their lives.
