Original Toronto Star caption: A message to the Soviets. Scarbrough residents had a chance today to show their displeasure over the Soviet destruction of a Korean airliner last Thursday by bashing a Russian-made Lada car in a Ford dealer s lot at Sheppard Ave; and McCowan Rd. To soften it up a bit; the car first was dropped a couple of times from a crane. People attacked it with siedgehammers and crowbars until it was reduced to scrap.
