Happy Grey Cup Sunday Saskatoon! Today in 1991, the Toronto Argonauts beat the Calgary Stampeders 36-21 in Winnipeg in the coldest Grey Cup game on record, -27 C. In 1992, a Chinese Boeing 737 slammed into a mountain and crashed near Yangti, about 50 kilometres south of Guilin in a popular tourist area, killing all 141 people on board including one Canadian. In 1993, two 11-year-old boys, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, were convicted of kidnapping and murdering two-year-old James Bulger of Liverpool, England. They were sentenced to indefinite detention, but released in 2001 after serving eight years.
