Scapegoat
On April 4, 1979, a Boeing 727 with 82 passengers and a crew of 7 rolled over and plummeted from an altitude of 39,000 feet to within seconds of crashing were it not for the crew’s actions to save the plane. The cause of the unexplained dive was the subject of one of the longest NTSB investigations at that time. While the crew’s efforts to save TWA 841 were initially hailed as heroic, that all changed when safety inspectors found twenty-one minutes of the thirty-minute cockpit voice recorder tape blank. The captain of the flight, Harvey “Hoot” Gibson, subsequently came under suspicion for deliberately erasing the tape in an effort to hide incriminating evidence. The voice recorder was never evaluated for any deficiencies. From that moment on, the investigation was focused on the crew to the exclusion of all other evidence. It was an investigation based on rumors, innuendos, and speculation. Eventually the NTSB, despite sworn testimony to the contrary, blamed the crew for the incident by having improperly manipulated the controls; leading to the dive. This is the story of a NTSB investigation gone awry and one pilot’s decade-long battle to clear his name.
Summary of Emilio Corsetti III's 35 Miles from Shore
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On May 2, 1970, ONA mechanic George Chopay began his day by walking around the jet plane N935F. He would later note that the digital fuel totalizer indicated just under 29,000 pounds after the fueling, which was almost 500 pounds more than the stated maximum fuel capacity of the DC-9. #2 The cockpit PA system was not a required item on the DC-9 because there were alternative means of communicating with the passengers. The PA system from the back was working normally. Balsey had heard one of the flight attendants checking the cabin PA earlier. #3 The plane was small, and the passengers didn’t know that it was the result of an agreement between two airlines. They would not discover this fact until months later. #4 Emerson boarded the plane and insisted on getting on it, even when the ticket agent called his supervisor. The supervisor eventually agreed to accept the Pan Am ticket after talking with the flight attendant.
Scapegoat
The true story of an airline crew wrongly blamed for causing a near-fatal accident and the decades-long battle of the captain to clear his name.
True Story
The true story of a disgraced journalist, the accused murderer who stole his identity, and their complex friendship—now a major motion picture. In 2001, Mike Finkel was on top of the world: young, talented, and recently promoted to a plum job at the New York Times Magazine. Then he made an irremediable slip: Under pressure to keep producing blockbuster stories, he fabricated parts of an article. Caught and excommunicated from the Times, he retreated to his home in Montana, swearing off any contact with the media. Then he got a call from the San Francisco Chronicle—and Mike was thrust back into the news cycle in a way no one could have anticipated. In Waldport, Oregon, Christian Longo had...

Who Killed These Girls?
“A true-crime page-turner.... Lowry exhausts every possible scenario behind the shocking, unsolved quadruple murder ... and offers a theory on what really happened.” —New York Post "Gripping, moving, and as good as any depiction of a murder case since In Cold Blood.... Brilliant." —Ann Patchett, award-winning, bestselling author The facts are brutally straightforward. On December 6, 1991, the naked, bound-and-gagged, burned bodies of four girls—each one shot in the head—were found in a frozen yogurt shop in Austin, Texas. Grief, shock, and horror overtook the city. But after eight years of misdirected investigations, only two suspects (teenagers at the time of the crime) were tried; their convictions were later overturned and detectives are still working on what is now a very cold case. The story has grown to include DNA technology, coerced false confessions, and other developments in crime and punishment. But this story belongs to the scores of people involved, and from them Beverly Lowry has fashioned a riveting saga that reads like a novel, heart-stopping and thoroughly engrossing.
Off the Cliff

It turned the tables on Hollywood, instantly becoming a classic, and continues to electrify audiences as a cultural statement of defiance. B...
