Circumstances:
The aircraft left Winnipeg Airport at 1100LT with a crew of three on board, two pilot students and one instructor. En route, the weather conditions worsened with fog, low ceiling and wind. While returning to its base and flying at a height of 400 feet, the twin engine aircraft struck one of the tower's steel guy wires which sent the plane crashing into the CBC Tower (570 feet high). Out of control, the aircraft crashed in flames 300 yards away in a snow covered field. All three crew members were killed.
