"Chosen to Live" / The Inspiring Story of Flight 232 Survivor Jerry Schemmel, by Jerry Schemmel with Kevin Simpson. (read 2 Sep 1999) This book had its genesis on July 19, 1989, when the crash occurred. The account is vivid and an appendix gives the Flight's black box recording transcript from 3:23 to 4:00, the time of the crash, and is compelling. Some of the time spent on the author's psychological aftermath is less compelling, but understandable. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
On July 19, 1989, Jerry Schemmel & Jay Ramsdell boarded United Airlines Flight 232 in Denver, bound for Chicago. An hour into the flight, the number two engine in their DC-10 aircraft exploded, causing complete hydraulic failure. For the next 45 minutes, the cockpit crew flew the crippled jumbo jet through the completely untrained & unprecedented procedure of using engine thrust. In attempting an emergency landing in Sioux City, Iowa, the plane crashed violently, killing 112 of the 296 onboard, including Jay Ramsdell. While nearly everyone around him died, Schemmel was able to escape the burning cabin. He then reentered the wreckage & rescued an 11 month old baby girl. CHOSEN TO LIVE is the story of this history making airline disaster & Schemmel's subsequent struggle with the death of his best friend & with the rest of the aftermath of the tragedy. It is the story of one human being God decided to spare, a plane crash survivor's battle to fly again, to move on with his life & realize his dream of being an NBA broadcaster. CHOSEN TO LIVE is a story of hope. For Ordering Information, call Victory Publishing at 303-933-6114, FAX: 303-904-0397. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
