[00:00:08] What kind of future do Albertans want for their province? The upcoming referendum will
[00:00:12] reveal where voters stand. The Alberta referendum October 19th.
[00:00:15] Stay tuned to CBC News.
[00:00:19] It is absolutely shocking that the people on this plane
[00:00:22] survived.
[00:00:25] Look, this is video taken by a
[00:00:27] passenger. Pure panic onboard fly Dubai flight 1073 after the
[00:00:32] copilot of the plane allegedly stabbed the pilot. The entire
[00:00:36] plane at this point at grave risk of crashing and everyone
[00:00:41] was screaming, there were children crying.
[00:00:44] Except a whole series of things happen. Highly improbable,
[00:00:48] almost impossible, it seems to me
[00:00:52] as a commercial.
[00:00:57] All of these incredible things together end up saving
[00:01:00] everybody's life against all odds. And I'm going to show you
[00:01:04] how
[00:01:09] there were more than 170 people on board this flight,
[00:01:13] which is a daily flight running from Dubai International in the
[00:01:17] United Arab Emirates to Ben Gurion International near Tel
[00:01:21] Aviv in Israel. This is what that flight path normally looks
[00:01:25] like. It's about a three hour flight,
[00:01:27] except on September 30th, things would take a very abrupt
[00:01:31] turn here. But when I say abrupt turn,
[00:01:34] I don't mean left or right, I mean down.
[00:01:37] At around 8:21 AM local time over Saudi airspace,
[00:01:40] the plane lost altitude more than 17,
[00:01:43] 000 feet in under a minute and it speed up dramatically as it
[00:01:48] pitched towards the earth
[00:01:51] Jordanian border. Suddenly the aircraft dropped a massive
[00:01:55] massive turbulence for 2030 seconds. We know now what was
[00:02:00] happening around this time was the planes copilot allegedly
[00:02:04] attacking the planes captain nearly killing him. The
[00:02:07] struggle beginning after he stabbed the other pilot and
[00:02:11] sent the jet plunging thousands of meters in just seconds. At
[00:02:16] this point, with the attacker taking
[00:02:18] control, potentially looking to crash
[00:02:21] the plane, the only way that people on
[00:02:24] board survive is if the captain survives. And improbably,
[00:02:28] he does. This is him, Captain Smith Matcha from India.
[00:02:31] He somehow manages to survive a surprise attack from an armed
[00:02:35] assailant in close quarters while flying a plane. But he's
[00:02:39] down and in a real bad way. One of the passengers,
[00:02:43] a dentist would later tell CNN. Much other suffered massive
[00:02:47] blood loss, was severely wounded. He was
[00:02:50] covered in cuts, his head,
[00:02:52] his hands, they were practically sliced
[00:02:54] open, almost severed in two.
[00:02:56] Historically when 1 pilot turns on the other. There are clear
[00:03:00] examples where this ends in disaster for everybody on board.
[00:03:04] In 2015, Germanwings flight 9525,
[00:03:07] the copilot locks the captain out of the cockpit when he
[00:03:11] leaves to use the bathroom. He then manually steers the plane
[00:03:15] into a rapid descent, crashing into the French Alps.
[00:03:18] Everybody on board dies. Or just a couple years before that,
[00:03:23] in 2013, same thing, except this time it's the
[00:03:26] captain on a flight from Mozambique who locks the
[00:03:29] copilot out of the cockpit. He crashes the plane into a
[00:03:33] National Park in Namibia, once again killing everybody on
[00:03:37] board. But this time, Captain Matcha survives the
[00:03:40] attack from his copilot and manages to do one other
[00:03:43] incredible thing that's single handedly triggers a series of
[00:03:47] events that keep that plane in the air.
[00:03:55] So imagine the copilot is believed to have attacked the
[00:03:59] captain with some sort of stabbing weapon,
[00:04:02] leaves him bleeding on the ground. I've seen multiple
[00:04:06] reports that he was so grievously wounded he was on
[00:04:09] the verge of passing out completely even that he did at
[00:04:13] one point, but just before he did he
[00:04:16] somehow unlocks the cockpit door. They redesigned airplanes
[00:04:20] to, in fact, create
[00:04:22] this impenetrable door between the cabin and the cockpit. That
[00:04:25] door remains locked from the incident. Problem with
[00:04:29] yesterday is that the threat did not come from the cabinet.
[00:04:33] This is the critical point at which the entire arc of this
[00:04:36] crisis pivots. It's where passengers begin to realize not
[00:04:40] just that something has gone terribly wrong,
[00:04:43] but that they can do something about it.
[00:04:46] The plane just started going up and down,
[00:04:49] says 1 passenger. We started hearing screams. The plane,
[00:04:52] according to those on board, nose dived at a sickening angle.
[00:04:56] Overhead bins popped open and luggage flew out. Other
[00:05:00] accounts spoke of incredible G forces almost pinning
[00:05:03] passengers to their seats as the plane itself plunged and
[00:05:07] leveled repeatedly. It was like the craziest Holocaust that you
[00:05:11] ever did, but like, multiplied by
[00:05:14] father. It felt like something really wrong is happening here.
[00:05:18] So for some passengers to have overcome this chaos and to have
[00:05:22] the instinct to burst into the cockpit to see what was wrong,
[00:05:26] Yet another incredible development,
[00:05:29] without which I don't know how this plane survives. Eventually,
[00:05:33] one man bursts in and grabs the assailant, the copilot,
[00:05:37] from behind. Yes,
[00:05:41] the first Beta beta message.
[00:05:47] That's one of the many heroes of this story. By all accounts,
[00:05:51] wrestling control of the plane from the alleged hijacker
[00:05:55] happened very quickly. The dentist I mentioned earlier,
[00:05:58] he says he tied the attacker up using headphone cords and
[00:06:02] plastic zip ties. He then started tending to the wounded
[00:06:06] pilot. He was in serious condition, not critical,
[00:06:09] perhaps, but serious due to the massive
[00:06:12] blood loss. And that would have looked like
[00:06:16] and a warn you this is the most graphic part of the story
[00:06:19] because it's at this point we have video of the state of the
[00:06:23] lanes captain as he's lying injured on the floor.
[00:06:27] But this was the scene you're looking at. 2 bloodied pilots
[00:06:31] on the floor on this passenger jet in mid air,
[00:06:34] passengers holding one of them down,
[00:06:37] treating the other. The reason I show that to you is because I
[00:06:41] want you to understand how unreal this all would have felt
[00:06:45] to everybody on board. And yet we have yet another improbable
[00:06:49] act from the very same passenger who claims to have
[00:06:53] subdued the attacker in the 1st place. He single handedly pulls
[00:06:57] the plane out of its nose dive.
[00:07:00] Uh,
[00:07:02] yeah.
[00:07:05] He would later reveal he learned that move from TV shows
[00:07:08] pulling on the pilot steering column,
[00:07:11] the yoke to pitch the planes nose up. They actually pull up
[00:07:15] the stick the the airplane stick. The plane was decreasing
[00:07:18] in very, very sharp angle. It is a
[00:07:21] tricky maneuver, you know, not normal or a commercial
[00:07:24] airliner to be in that flight position to be nose down at 600
[00:07:28] miles an hour. But even all this,
[00:07:30] as improbable as it all is put together,
[00:07:33] only leads to yet another impossible question.
[00:07:37] How do you land a plane when you have no pilot?
[00:07:45] In a normal emergency, if such a thing even exists,
[00:07:49] the pilot is doing more than just flying the plane and
[00:07:52] landing it. They are the planes eyes and ears,
[00:07:55] navigating weather patterns, how much fuel they've got left,
[00:08:00] and which runways are even available and safe. There was
[00:08:04] nothing but desert beneath US1 passenger told CNN. We feared
[00:08:08] being taken to an enemy country or landing in the middle of the
[00:08:12] desert. We didn't know who to trust. Now,
[00:08:15] if this were a Hollywood movie, the scripted stroke of luck
[00:08:19] here would be that someone on board is simply bold enough to
[00:08:23] do something like land a plane that they've never done before
[00:08:27] and it just happens to work out. But in real life,
[00:08:31] there just happened to be another set of pilots on board,
[00:08:34] an off duty British pilot along with another, together,
[00:08:38] a pair of relief pilots who were meant to fly the next
[00:08:42] flight
[00:08:43] was fortunate that they were on an airplane that had this extra
[00:08:47] deadheading crew, as we call it. You know,
[00:08:50] but to actually jump into a pilot seat when you've got
[00:08:54] another pilot next to you that potentially was suicidal and
[00:08:58] the captain of the aircraft neutralized as well was
[00:09:02] absolutely heroic action. Those 2 pilots took control of the
[00:09:06] plane, diverted to an airport not in
[00:09:08] Israel where they were originally going,
[00:09:11] but in nearby Saudi Arabia instead.
[00:09:14] Which interestingly is a country Israel has no formal
[00:09:17] diplomatic relations with, but that years ago did open its
[00:09:21] airspace. 2 passenger planes flying to and from Israel. So
[00:09:26] they had control of the plane and a safe runway to land on.
[00:09:30] But there was still one more problem. The plane was badly
[00:09:34] damaged. When I saw the images of the aircraft on the ground
[00:09:38] with the rudder section torn out,
[00:09:40] I immediately had a cold chill. If you've ever looked at the
[00:09:44] back of a plane,
[00:09:46] you know what that vertical tail looks like. But what's a
[00:09:49] little more subtle than that is the rudder,
[00:09:51] which is this movable flap that controls the side to side
[00:09:55] swinging of the lanes nose. It's basically stabilizing the
[00:09:59] plane. If you RIP that out, as you can see in these photos
[00:10:02] here of this fly Dubai flight shortly after emergency landing,
[00:10:06] you have two problems. 1 is that you're possibly bleeding
[00:10:09] hydraulic fluid out all over the place,
[00:10:12] which affects a whole bunch of other systems on the plane. But
[00:10:16] two,
[00:10:17] landing becomes more dangerous. Letters are the key element of
[00:10:20] aircraft stability, particularly at landing. And in
[00:10:23] this case the runner was not there. The airplane went
[00:10:27] through extensive aerodynamic shot. All of the experts I've
[00:10:31] heard on this believe it was the planes nosedive. We
[00:10:34] mentioned at the start that sudden steep descent that
[00:10:38] likely applied enormous aerodynamic forces to the tail,
[00:10:41] enough to RIP that part of the rudder right off. But somehow
[00:10:45] those two relief pilots
[00:10:47] managed to land the plane regardless,
[00:10:53] so now investigators have their work cut out for them. Why did
[00:10:57] this copilot hijack the plane, and what was he trying to do?
[00:11:01] Did he improvise the weapon he used,
[00:11:03] or did he smuggle it on board? And Speaking of getting on
[00:11:07] board, should intelligence or law
[00:11:10] enforcement officers have known to apprehend him before he got
[00:11:14] on that plane? Those answers will hopefully
[00:11:17] come with time, but all we know now is that
[00:11:19] this plane load of passengers somehow pulled off the
[00:11:23] impossible. The captain surviving A devastating attack,
[00:11:27] managing with his last sliver of consciousness to open the
[00:11:30] cockpit door, allowing passengers undergoing
[00:11:33] extreme G forces to storm that cockpit, subdue the attacker,
[00:11:37] pull the plane out of the nosedive just in time. And then
[00:11:40] they just happened to have a pair of pilots on hand who
[00:11:44] grabbed the controls, find a safe runway to land on,
[00:11:47] and manage to do so with a severely damaged rudder in a
[00:11:51] plane that no inspector would ever consider airworthy.
[00:11:54] I don't know what you call that, but as terrible and traumatic
[00:11:59] as it was for everyone involved, those folks undeniably got very,
[00:12:04] very lucky.
[00:14:12] What even is potash? Answer that question and you'll
[00:14:14] know how basically overnight, Trump went from boasting of a
[00:14:18] massive deal in the works to buy a whole bunch of potash
[00:14:21] from Belarus and for substantially less than we are
[00:14:24] currently paying to Canada, to suddenly saying, well,
[00:14:28] maybe we'll keep buying from Canada after all,
[00:14:30] he'll continue to go with Canada,
[00:14:32] but but Belarus would like to sell it for a much lower price.
[00:14:36] So which is it? Trump may sound like he's flip
[00:14:39] flopping any kind of is, but
[00:14:41] he's also putting his finger on a glaring American weakness.
[00:14:45] Because the US needs an outside source of potash to grow food,
[00:14:49] and Trump thinks he can mitigate that problem by
[00:14:53] undercutting the global juggernaut of potash, Canada.
[00:15:01] I can just show you what potash looks like. You mine it from
[00:15:05] the earth. It's a type of salt. But the core defining element
[00:15:09] of this salt, which makes it different from
[00:15:11] say, the table salt you season your
[00:15:13] food with, is that it's chock full of potassium.
[00:15:17] Potassium. I said it that way because potash is where
[00:15:20] potassium gets its name from. And two critical things to know
[00:15:24] about potassium 1. You do not just find pure potassium like a
[00:15:28] hunk of it in Nature, which Carlton University does a
[00:15:31] good job of explaining why. Potassium metal,
[00:15:34] like all metals that are in Group one of the periodic table
[00:15:38] that's down the left hand side are quite reactive with water.
[00:15:42] Boom, though, this burst into flame
[00:15:45] because the reaction between potassium and water releases
[00:15:49] hydrogen, and then the hydrogen gas is
[00:15:51] what explodes. So if you want potassium,
[00:15:54] you have to find it in very specific forms that won't
[00:15:57] explode by accident. But the second big thing to know about
[00:16:01] potash is that it is considered a critical mineral. Plants need
[00:16:05] potassium to grow. Every crop does. So almost all of the
[00:16:08] potash mine around the world eventually ends up as
[00:16:12] fertilizer because it's so potassium rich. Farmers know
[00:16:15] if you use it on your crops, you'll get better water
[00:16:19] retention, better disease resistance,
[00:16:21] better yields, better overall quality. And
[00:16:24] this is precisely why farmers globally spend billions of
[00:16:28] dollars a year on this stuff. So we can all eat. Now where do
[00:16:32] you find this critical mineral? The non explode kind. Chile,
[00:16:36] Germany, China and the US are all
[00:16:38] meaningful players in this space. Between them,
[00:16:41] there are hundreds of millions of tons of known potassium
[00:16:45] nutrient
[00:16:47] reserves. But where you'll find the most, there's Russia,
[00:16:50] with 12% of the world's reachable unmined supply. Its
[00:16:53] ally Belarus has an even larger share of this critical mineral,
[00:16:58] almost twice as much, but with a full third of the
[00:17:01] world's total reserves. Canada, America's closest ally,
[00:17:05] has more than a billion tons of potassium in the form of potash
[00:17:09] underground.
[00:17:11] It's also the world's most active miner and exporter of
[00:17:15] that potash, owning almost 40% of the
[00:17:17] international market today. We are a major,
[00:17:20] major player in this market, to the point where our potash
[00:17:24] exports are often priced in Canadian dollars rather than U.
[00:17:28] S. dollars. And not to put too fine a point on what I said
[00:17:32] about Canada being America's closest ally,
[00:17:35] but I'll say the US is incredibly dependent on Canada
[00:17:38] for all of its potash, and more specifically
[00:17:41] the potassic fertilizer you get out of it. the US imported from
[00:17:46] all sources 13 million tons of it last year,
[00:17:49] but almost 90% of that haul was from Canada. This is billions
[00:17:53] of dollars each year spent on a very precious product. And
[00:17:57] worth mentioning those whopping 50% tariffs Trump imposed on
[00:18:01] Canadian goods recently, Potash is exempt. Which should
[00:18:05] tell you one very important thing,
[00:18:07] that Trump does not want to make Canadian potash more
[00:18:11] expensive
[00:18:13] because he knows how badly American farmers need it. the
[00:18:15] US is very, very highly reliant on imported
[00:18:18] potash in order to meet our needs. So it's hard to describe
[00:18:22] how important that relationship is. The advantage for Canada
[00:18:26] when it comes to plot ashes or 3G's we've got there's geology,
[00:18:29] geography and sort of global distribution. It's true,
[00:18:33] Canada has basically everything the US needs. Vast reserves,
[00:18:36] expansive mining operations with new mines in the process
[00:18:40] of being built. This one is slated to begin
[00:18:43] production in 2027. Apparently as big as a city,
[00:18:46] Canada also has a well established production and
[00:18:49] delivery schedule, especially during critical
[00:18:52] planting seasons. And crucially, it has direct access to an
[00:18:56] expansive rail network able to carry product from Saskatchewan,
[00:19:00] where almost all of Canada's Potash's mind,
[00:19:03] across the border and into virtually every nook and cranny
[00:19:06] of the United States. But especially agricultural states
[00:19:10] in the northern Midwest like Indiana, Illinois,
[00:19:13] Iowa and Nebraska and Minnesota were the soil for intensive row
[00:19:18] crops like corn, soybeans and wheat need a
[00:19:21] constant topping up of potassium to keep yields high.
[00:19:25] And arguably now more than ever, American farmers rely on this
[00:19:29] efficiency and stability because they are, in 2026,
[00:19:33] contending with an undeniable pressure on their bottom lines.
[00:19:37] Fertilizer prices have been going up,
[00:19:40] and the US war in Iran has throttled global oil traffic,
[00:19:44] making the diesel that keeps farm equipment running more
[00:19:48] expensive and indirectly increasing the price of
[00:19:51] basically everything else that needs to be shipped anywhere.
[00:19:55] Not to mention Trump's trade war with Canada,
[00:19:58] where 50% tariffs on Canadians steel and aluminum can,
[00:20:01] for example, make buying a tractor or even
[00:20:04] simply sourcing replacement parts more expensive than it
[00:20:07] used to be. There's been an awful lot of large increases in
[00:20:11] the input costs of farming. So diesel is going up
[00:20:15] 28% in the last year. We interest rates growing up,
[00:20:19] the price of new farm machinery is about 15 to 20%. So enter
[00:20:23] Belarus, where this post from the
[00:20:25] president starts to take on a different tone, right?
[00:20:29] A massive deal to buy potash from that country,
[00:20:33] one of the top producers of the mineral globally. He knows the
[00:20:37] US needs Canadian potash, like really needs it. And he's
[00:20:41] trying to diversify, questioning his
[00:20:45] Can he?
[00:20:50] When Trump decided he was going to nudge Belarus for a better
[00:20:54] deal on potash, the intention was always pretty
[00:20:57] clear that this was a move designed to undercut Canada's
[00:21:01] stranglehold on supply. And on a surface level,
[00:21:04] it makes sense to go with a potash powerhouse like Belarus.
[00:21:08] Except Trump himself would have immediately realized how
[00:21:12] difficult a pivot this would be. First,
[00:21:15] the US government doesn't even have a direct say
[00:21:18] in the matter. It doesn't negotiate prices. It doesn't do
[00:21:22] any bulk purchasing itself. That's between private business
[00:21:26] and farmers. But even if he were to try to create favorable
[00:21:30] conditions for Belarusian potash to enter the US market,
[00:21:34] the second problem is that this is Belarus we're talking about
[00:21:38] here, a political pariah, a close ally of Vladimir Putin,
[00:21:42] and a critical staging ground for Russia's troops during its
[00:21:46] initial invasion of Ukraine four years ago.
[00:21:49] If you've seen the headlines from Saskatchewan's premier
[00:21:53] about how potash from Belarus is blood potash,
[00:21:56] This is why the Lukashenko regime out of Belarus is
[00:21:59] instrumental in supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
[00:22:04] And again, terrible human rights record.
[00:22:07] So a large number of countries, including Canada and including
[00:22:11] the United States, have sanctioned Belarus. And
[00:22:14] those sanctions on Belarus really affect how competitive
[00:22:18] its potash can ever possibly be in the global marketplace
[00:22:22] because, for starters, it is a landlocked country.
[00:22:25] It's closest access to international shipping waters
[00:22:29] is north through Lithuania, except European sanctions on
[00:22:32] Belarus have closed this port
[00:22:34] off to them. And it gets worse. Those same sanctions have also
[00:22:38] shut down most alternatives, Poland, Latvia,
[00:22:41] and especially Ukraine also off limits. But let's say you could
[00:22:45] get around that problem by shipping through Russia,
[00:22:48] for example. There's a third problem,
[00:22:51] which is that we're still talking about a country nearly
[00:22:54] 10, 000 kilometers away from the US
[00:22:56] by boat. In order to get the potash from Belarus,
[00:22:59] we have to go through sort of four major parts,
[00:23:02] shipping it to to Russia, getting it loaded
[00:23:05] ships, getting it to the US and then
[00:23:08] once in the US shipping it to sort of the Midwest. We have
[00:23:11] one step. We put it on a train and it's and it's there. The
[00:23:15] problem with potash in particular is that it's a
[00:23:18] relatively low value product compared to how heavy it is and
[00:23:22] how much space it takes up. These are bulk commodities.
[00:23:26] It's not like you're shipping diamonds or microchips where
[00:23:30] the cost to ship is offset by how efficient shipping is. So
[00:23:34] even if Belarus decided, let's say,
[00:23:36] to put all of its authoritarian state owned might behind potash,
[00:23:40] driving down the production cost at the potash mine itself
[00:23:44] on the other side of the world, American farmers aren't going
[00:23:49] to be moved by that if it's still costing an arm and a leg
[00:23:53] to ship that cheap potash halfway around the world. One
[00:23:57] analyst figures Canada's location helps it deliver
[00:24:00] potash at about a 35% discount compared to potash from Belarus.
[00:24:05] And another analyst
[00:24:06] comes to the same conclusion that a metric ton of potash
[00:24:10] from Belarus might cost $200 to a US farmer before profit
[00:24:13] margins compared to buying from Canada at a substantially lower
[00:24:17] $130.00 per metric ton. But let's say you figure out the
[00:24:21] first problem and give the US government a freer hand. You
[00:24:25] solve the second problem and remove international sanctions
[00:24:28] on Belarus. You even solve the third problem of shipping costs
[00:24:32] through subsidies or some kind of deal. You then still have
[00:24:36] 1/4 problem, which is that Belarus itself is
[00:24:39] signaling. I don't know if we have all that much potash to
[00:24:43] spare. They're shipping all of their potash E not to West,
[00:24:47] the western world, and that's been indicated to be
[00:24:50] the case. You remember how landlocked Belarus is and how
[00:24:54] it's potash can only really go in One Direction E through
[00:24:58] Russia? Well, it turns out that economic
[00:25:00] reality leaves China and other Asian countries as the only
[00:25:04] viable buyers. China alone buys almost 1/3
[00:25:07] of the potash Belarus exports. Which is not to say that
[00:25:11] Belarus couldn't switch clients to the US or boost production,
[00:25:15] but both are hard. One risks alienating a reliable customer,
[00:25:19] the other is slow and expensive. Because guess what?
[00:25:22] Canada is a reliable cost competitive supplier.
[00:25:30] So what explains then this roller coaster ride where
[00:25:33] everybody's wondering what on earth would possess Trump to
[00:25:37] think Canada's potash is replaceable by potash mind on
[00:25:40] the other side of the planet? Well, to be fair,
[00:25:43] I don't know if that's what he was ever saying. It's the same
[00:25:47] thing as what we're doing in regard to trade with the US,
[00:25:50] right? Yes, the US is looking for alternate
[00:25:53] suppliers. We're looking for alternate markets. We're both
[00:25:57] sort of playing
[00:25:58] two sides of the same coin here. the US knows it is in a
[00:26:01] vulnerable position. It is working to lift itself out of
[00:26:05] that position. It started earlier this year when in March,
[00:26:09] it lifted sanctions on two major potash companies in
[00:26:13] Belarus, Belarus, Cali and the Belarusian potash
[00:26:16] company. The Trump administration also made potash
[00:26:19] from Belarus legal to buy in America. And what timing?
[00:26:23] According to Argus Media, which watches commodity prices,
[00:26:27] the first Belarus cargo
[00:26:28] fertilizer to the US in four years, a 30,
[00:26:31] 000 metric tons cargo of MOP, which is a specific kind of
[00:26:36] potash fertilizer. It's expected to arrive at New
[00:26:40] Orleans next month. Now, let's be clear. Canada's
[00:26:44] dominance in potash is not in jeopardy. This country is not
[00:26:49] replaceable to the US. But Canada also is not untouchable,
[00:26:53] because Trump isn't necessarily trying to push Canadian potash
[00:26:58] away,
[00:27:00] he's just trying to payless for it. And even if American
[00:27:02] farmers don't suddenly flock on mass to Belarusian potash,
[00:27:06] they now at least have the option to right?
[00:27:09] And that accomplishes one thing, it tells Canada If you still
[00:27:13] want American business, we at least want you to compete
[00:27:17] for it.
[00:30:30] where families continue to be torn apart by violence
[00:30:33] including two recent murders
[00:30:35] and a shooting at the historic Mile Zero Hotel.
[00:30:38] Who's going to clean up this town? You know, that's a good question.
[00:30:42] I'm very fearful for the future of this area. We investigate the violence
[00:30:46] to learn more about who is killing who and why.
[00:30:49] Why are so many people getting murdered in Dawson Creek?
[00:30:53] Because the drugs are rampant. Fucking rampant.
[00:30:56] Thirteen murders and counting,
[00:30:58] and a growing fear that comes with a warning: speaking out can get you killed.
