The Plane Crash at the Four Corners, April 1918 was the most photographed incident in Oshawa's history up until that moment in time.
For more information about it and other plane crashes in Oshawa in that period read "A Terrible Fright": A Short History of Early Aviation in Oshawa, Ontario on the Niche Canada website.

It is a strange coincidence that Space Invader Co-Organizer Gary Greenwood did a take on the same historical incident for artworks for the 2013 and 2014 editions of Space Invaders.
