**Episode 039 - **On September 2, 1998 one of the worst air disasters in Canada's history took place when SwissAir flight 111 plunged into the Atlantic Ocean just off Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia. Although local fisherman and authorities responded quickly, it was already too late. All 229 souls were lost during the tremendous impact. Once again, Nova Scotians showed their compassion and willingness to lend a hand when needed in their response to the disaster.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9rVKWsMv_g) Fifth Estate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJyPWrjRgNM) SwissAir 111 ATC Recording https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swissair_Flight_111)http://www.tailstrike.com/020998.htm)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NR2h62yheI4) Investigation https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/swissair-flight-111-crash-20th-anniversary-1.4806166)https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/swissair-flight-111-anniversary-friendships-forces-after-disaster-1.4806159)https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/swissair-flight-111-diamonds-treasure-hunters-1.4804585) Diamonds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASbP7J133d0) trailer http://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2130067299) Aug 2011 Information https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/families-first-responders-honoured-at-swissair-20th-anniversary-service-1.4077353)https://globalnews.ca/news/4418260/first-responders-swissair-flight-111-tragedy/)http://thechronicleherald.ca/artslife/1463855-q-a-with-author-thomas-juby)http://www.transcom.org/swissair/passagiere.htm) passenger list https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt_Wpcj2iIo) aftermath scramble https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql16ggFvc_g&t=265s) Nat Geo Mayday http://forums.swissair111.org/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/322103945/m/8561049834) tapes discussion http://www.tailstrike.com/020998.htm) transcript http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/recovery+bodies+from+plane+tragedy+scarred+strathmore+woman/9619793/story.html)https://globalnews.ca/news/4418365/swissair-flight-111-how-tragedy-unfolded/) Dr Butt's audio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hjs9qWmbivw) victims families visit https://globalnews.ca/news/4424321/swissair-flight-111-20th-anniversary/) 20th Memorial
