À propos de ce produit
Product Information
On May 2, 1970, a DC-9 jet with 57 passengers and a crew of six departed from New York's JFK International Airport en route to the tropical island of St. Maarten, but four hours and 34 minutes later the flight ended in the shark-infested waters of the Caribbean. It was, and remains, the only open-water ditching of a commercial jet. The subsequent rescue of survivors took nearly three hours and involved the coast guard, navy, and marines. This gripping account of that fateful day recounts what was happening inside the cabin, the cockpit, and the helicopters as the crews struggled against the weather and dwindling daylight to rescue the survivors, who had only their life vests and a lone escape chute to keep them afloat.

I am always looking for a good story. I like stories about the past. This one sounded very interesting. I hope it measures up to its description. We will see. Thank you.

Unfortunately this book did not arrive. Can only presume that it was lost in transit. I oredered another copy of the book and I did receive that copy. I have always found Thrift Books to be a great seller and I still think so.
