:58:01
It was a regularflight.
:58:03
For some reason,
:58:05
the plane crashed
aftertake-off.
:58:08
Barely one kilometre
from the coast.
:58:10
No deaths,
a few minor injuries.
:58:13
While waiting for help,
:58:15
the passengers held onto
the wings.
:58:20
Help was a long time coming.
:58:23
There's no control tower
:58:26
this side of the river now.
:58:28
A child out playing
alerted the police.
:58:33
In the icy water,
:58:35
Mrs Vandal's strength
began to give out.
:58:38
People took turns
to hold her up,
:58:40
but the tide was pulling her
:58:42
out to sea.
:58:44
Their grip loosened.
:58:47
She drifted away.
:58:49
- She was neverfound.
- Never?
:58:55
For weeks after,
everyone watched
:58:57
each incoming tide...
just in case.
:59:01
So, she's dead?
:59:02
I guess.
:59:05
What do you mean?
She must be by now.
:59:07
The problem is, she was still alive
when she drifted away.
:59:11
It's silly, but people
couldn't accept her death.
:59:17
So,
they accused each other:
:59:20
The airline,
the weather station, the pilot,
:59:24
the airport,
the government,
:59:26
the rescue team,
even the other passengers.
:59:29
Everyone in town was involved
directly or indirectly.
:59:33
Some people fought
and still don't talk.
:59:36
They play golf though!
:59:38
They pretend.
:59:41
Deep down,
they're still hoping.
:59:44
Was she well-known locally?
:59:46
Yes,
she was very well-liked.
:59:48
And she was a psychologist.
:59:51
What with divorces, depressions,
overwork, trauma,
:59:55
she helped pretty much everyone
in town.
