The crash killed all 118 people on board, 111 passengers and seven crew members. Of the victims, 76 were from the Metropolitan Toronto area and three were foreign nationals (two Americans and one Indian). A TCA official said that "the bodies were so badly smashed that identification was virtually hopeless." The plane's flight crew included 47-year-old captain John D. "Jack" Snider of Toronto, a World War II bomber pilot, 35-year-old first officer Harold J. "Harry" Dyck of Leamington, Ontario and 29-year-old flight engineer Edward D. Baxter of Toronto.
