Reviews
"The depth of available data, detailed and appropriately dramatic narrative technique, and mastery of a genuine investigative tone allow the author to craft an excellent work....Houle describes the people, mechanical and weather situations, and many other perspectives involved in very readable and interesting terms, reflecting both the complexity of the crash events and comprehensiveness of the author's research. Any student or professional with a focus on air safety or accident investigation will surely gain insights from this book. Houle has done an exceptional job of elevating a devastating horror story into a meaningful recollection of an accident that had a limited effect on people not directly involved... The human suffering directly resulting from the crash and indirectly touching everyone from first responders to aviation officials and family or colleagues is vividly portrayed and humanely conveyed....recommended"-- Choice

Synopsis
Through interviews with family, physicians, and the National Transportation Safety Board's investigation, comes a story of corruption, determination, and vindication as well as the answer to what really caused the crash of Delta Flight 723 at Logan airport., At the height of the Watergate scandal, Delta Flight 723 crashed into a fog-shrouded seawall at the end of Runway 4R at Logan Airport in Boston. While this incident and Watergate seemed unrelated at first, President Richard Nixon and his subordinates' actions during Watergate interfered with the ability of the National Transportation Safety Board to properly investigate the crash. It wasn't until three court cases, a federal investigation, congressional hearings, as well as a state investigation, when the true cause of the accident was exposed ten years later. This is also the story of Air Force Sergeant Leopold Chouinard and his incredible fight for survival. Chouinard survived the initial impact of the crash, only to suffer third and fourth degree burns on the majority of his body. Doctors fought against incredible odds to try and save Chouinard's life. For 134 days, Leo Chouinard defied all expectations as his doctors and nurses applied the latest advancements in burn treatments to save him from a non-survivable accident. They nearly succeeded. Through interviews with Chouinard's family, his physicians, and the NTSB's investigation, comes a story of corruption, determination, and vindication as well as the answer to what really caused that crash at Logan airport., On July 31, 1973, Delta Flight 723, carrying 83 passengers and 6 crew members, crashed into a fog-shrouded seawall at Logan Airport in Boston, killing all but one man who initially survived despite horrific burns and other injuries. This is the story of the ill-fated flight, its crew and passengers, and the fight for survival of Air Force Sergeant Leopold Chouinard-a struggle in which he and an extraordinary medical team nearly beat impossible odds. Detailing the crash investigation and subsequent legal battles, this book reveals how the actions of President Richard Nixon, embroiled in the Watergate scandal, and his subordinates interfered with the ability of the National Transportation Safety Board to investigate the crash. It took three court cases, federal and state investigations, Congressional hearings and nearly a decade to expose the true causes. Through extensive research including interviews with Chouinard's family and his physicians comes a story of corruption, determination, and vindication, as well as the answer to what really caused New England's worst air disaster.
