The Flight and Crash
On the evening of October 19, 1984, a small aircraft carrying nine passengers, including a young pilot named Eric Vogel, descended into treacherous weather conditions while approaching High Prairie, Alberta. Unbeknownst to Eric, ice had accumulated on the wings, causing a significant decrease in speed as he attempted a visual landing approach. Shortly before reaching the airport, the airplane crashed into the woods, violently colliding with trees and leaving behind a scene of devastation. The aftermath revealed that five of the passengers perished in the crash, while the surviving crew faced dire survival challenges in the freezing wilderness.
