Description: 10/14/1963: At approximately 10:00 a.m. a column of water 20 feet high shot out of the Montreal Aqueduct. The dynamite was apparently tossed by a motorist from a west-end bridge over the Aqueduct at de la Verendrye Blvd. and Church Ave. No one was injured and no damage was done. Police declined comment on whether the incident may have been the work of the Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ).
