Original Toronto Star caption: Piece by piece; the wrecked body of the Air Canada DC-9 that crashed at Toronto International Airport on Monday is being taken from its resting place on the banks of Etoicole Creek. Crash investigators are collecting and studying the debris in an airport hangar known as Fort Knox. In this view; broken fuselage is already minus tail section; at top left are piled seats from plane. Search now focuses on a shredded tire.
