The crash claimed over two hundred victims, and changed the course of countless lives, from the victims鈥檚 friends and relatives, the dedicated individuals who helped with the search and investigation, and the residents who welcomed the victims' families into their homes. Award-winning writer Steven Kimber has collected their stories, starting with the seemingly innocent events leading up to the fatal day on September 2, 1998, the search for survivors, and failing that, the pursuit for answers. Kimber successfully combines these accounts in a lively, heart-wrenching style to give a human face to one of the worst tragedies in Canadian history. This new edition includes an afterword with updated information from the investigation.
