Carol Shaben found out about her father’s plane crash two days after it went down on October 19, 1984, in Alberta, Canada. Six people were killed and four survived, including Larry Shaben, the provincial housing minister. The other survivors were the pilot, Erik Vogel; a criminal, Paul Archambault; and his accompanying cop, Scott Deschamps. All four were deeply changed by their near-death experience, and the accident brought them together. In Into the Abyss (2012), Carol reconstructs the events leading up to the crash, explores how the four men managed to survive, and details how they started over after getting a new chance at life.
