	Description:		Gonzalo Dussan and his daughter Michelle still cannot comprehend how they are able to share their story. For years, they didn't speak about it, but recent developments have given them a new purpose. Back in December 1995 they were on a flight from Miami to Cali in Colombia, when the plane crashed into a mountain, killing almost everyone on board. Michelle was only six years old at the time and the family had been planning to spend Christmas with their relatives in Colombia. Also on board were Michelle's mother and brother, who both died as a result of the crash. Gonzalo and Michelle were two of only four people to survive - out of 163 people. They tell Emily Webb why a new theory about what may have caused the crash has helped them to find closure. The theory has emerged from a film by former airline pilot Tristan Loraine, called American 965.
