Air Ontario Flight #1363 (Fokker F28-1000): March 10th, 1989 — Bound for Winnipeg, Air Ontario Flight #1363 prepares for takeoff after a brief layover at a remote Northern airport.

It takes years for investigators to determine what went wrong. And tragically, their findings come too late to prevent an icy killer from striking again.
