Rating:  Summary: Emotionaly intense I am looking at life with more respect Review: While listening to this audio book I felt as if I were in the plane with these people during the nine minutes and 20 seconds before impact. The vivid details of the story continues in a field after the crash. The authors writing style was excellent in bringing this story to life. This book gets into a lot of details about the cause of the accident and the people involved, but it never gets boring. The story flows very well and the reader does a fantastic job of reading and changing characters through his voice.The toughest part of the book is listening to the intense pain and suffering that so many people endured for such a long period of time after the crash as a result of their burns. Most people survived the initial crash. In fact if it were not for the fire 60 seconds after the crash, there probably would have been one fatality instead of 10. The fire, erupting 60 seconds after the fact was devastating. It's amazing how strong the human spirit is. I put myself in their situation of and I can't imagine wanting to live through what they did. The last fatality occurred four months after the accident, a terribly long time to suffer. I would love to meet the survivors and give them a hug just for enduring this terrible accident.
