1978 bus crash in Eastman, Quebec

The Eastman bus crash occurred on August 4, 1978 when forty people were killed after the chartered bus they were travelling in suffered brake failure, causing the bus to careen down a steep hill, plunging into Lac d'Argent, just east of Montreal, Quebec, near the town of Eastman. The driver plus 6 volunteers, who were assisting the group on a visit to a theatre performance in another town, escaped from the bus before it sank. The crash is the second deadliest road traffic accident in Canadian history after the 1997 Les Éboulements bus accident that killed 44 people.
