On September 2, 1998, a passenger jet carrying 229 people crashed into the ocean off Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia. Suddenly, the picturesque images of the tiny fishing village clashed with scenes of grief and horror. Fishermen in their brightly painted boats searched black waters for human remains, and the famous lighthouse became a shrine. These are the stories of some of the people involved, stories of how their lives have been forever changed.
