Pei, killing everyone on board. Additionally, 3 people were killed while they were hiking on the mountain due to the crash, along with another hiker who survived but was left mostly paralyzed. This is considered one of the most deadliest suicide attacks in the history of Anteria. Following the crash, the paralyzed hiker who survived the crash on ground later released a book called The Goer in 2011, which became one of the most high selling books in Anteria, which then led to a movie based on the book released on 2013 which grossed over 2.1 billion dollars.
