A lot of This is the true story of a 1980s plane crash in Alberta.

It gave just enough detail to be fascinating when reading about safety regulations and airlines. He was holding his handcuffed wrists in the air in front of him.Scott studied the man beside him.

There was no way he'd be off the ground by his scheduled departure time of 7:00.His only hope was that tonight would be a repeat of last night and that there wouldn't be passengers bound for the small communities of High Prairie and Fairview, which had tiny airports with no air traffic control.
