On September 27, 1986, pilot Theresa Bond and five passengers took
off on a routine flight from Atlin, BC, in her beloved de Havilland
Beaver. The Taku Air passenger list that day included local
politician Al Passarell, his wife, and three of Atlin's most
prominent citizens--including larger-than-life Atlin Inn owner Joe
Florence. After an uneventful eighty minutes, the plane crossed the
edge of Dease Lake, turned south and descended for landing. But
something went tragically wrong in those last few minutes of Flight
2653. According to eyewitnesses the Beaver nosedived into the lake
at full cruising speed. As the plane sank into the icy depths of
the lake, only pilot Theresa Bond managed to escape. All five
passengers drowned.
The small town of Atlin was torn apart by the tragedy. Years of
endless hearings and inquiries supplied few answers, only fueling
the sorrow and anger of grieving family and friends. In time the
furor surrounding the inquest dissipated, but for Theresa Bond, the
flames of her own private hell continued to consume her. Unable to
live with the guilt and loss she had caused the families of her
passengers, Bond plummeted into despair.
"Atlin's Anguish" is a brother's dedicated and loving journey to
understanding what happened that day on Dease Lake. Was it simply a
lack of experience that caused Bond to lose control at such a
crucial moment, or were there other circumstances that led to the
crash of Flight 2653?
