Never Wait for the Fire Truck by David Yeager Alexander Pdf

This is a survivors story of the worst aircraft accident in world history. On March 27,1977, two 747's collided on the ground in fog on the island of Tenerife, Canary Islands. The staggering death toll was 544 upon impact with 74 initial survivors. The author was among a subgroup of 14 walking survivors and 1 of 2 photographers that Sunday afternoon. This is his story of survival, recovery and return to flight. Part 2 of the book provides details of improvements to aircraft interior safety. Many of those improvements were the result of an in-flight cabin fire on Air Canada flight 979 in 1983. Non-flammable materials for the interior and stronger seats make a hard landing more survivable. Part 3 of the book discusses runway safety, a very hot topic recently. New technology, ADSB, will greatly improve safety on the ground and replace radar. Controllers and pilots will know where every aircraft is on the ground and in the sky.

I Have Asperger's by Erin Clemens Pdf

My name is Erin Clemens. I'm 24 years old, and I want to help others understand what my life is like living with Asperger's Syndrome.

Collision on Tenerife by Jon Ziomek Pdf

One of the jets, KLM Flight 4805, was traveling more than 150 miles an hour and was within seconds of lifting off when it crashed into Pan Am Flight 1736 taxiing in its path. The loss of lives was staggering—583 dead. The crash happened after a lengthy series of major and minor human errors. In the intervening years, has aviation advanced to the point that such a disaster can’t happen again? In this riveting account, written from the perspective of the passengers in the cabin as well as the crew members in the cockpits, Jon Ziomek explains how this largely forgotten accident took place—and what has happened since to reduce the possibility of another such catastrophe.

Untold Until Now by Karen Brantley Pdf

A generation of men who fought for our freedom looks back at their lives; some with melancholy, some with unforgotten energy, and other with reluctance. World War II means something different to each man who served, yet a common and tightly woven thread binds their attitudes and senses of patriotism. This moving book captures the long-lost era when men were men -- when going to war meant actually engaging the enemy rather than raining bombs on them from above and never actually seeing them. Those stories have something to tell us about lives; the lives of the men interviewed, our own lives and the lives of the millions of people who did not live through another of mankind's follies.

A prestigious international boarding school full of prodigies, where students leave as diplomats and scientists and people who will change the world.

Me and My Shadows by Lorna Luft Pdf

The question follows Lorna Luft to this day: "What's it like to be Dorothy's daughter?" Although by appearances glamorous and truly thrilling, growing up as the daughter of Judy Garland was anything but a journey over the rainbow. With unsparing candor, Lorna Luft offers the first-ever insider portrait of one of Hollywood's most celebrated families: a rare story of a little girl, her half-sister Liza, and her baby brother trying desperately to hang on to the mother whose life seemed destined to burn brightly but briefly. Lorna makes an extraordinary journey back into the spiral of love, addiction, pain, and loss that lurked behind a charmed facade. Filled with behind-the-scenes dramas, hilarious untold stories, and little-known details of Garland family life, Me and My Shadows is a tribute to Lorna's victory over her own past, a story of hope, of love and its limitations, and a deeply moving testament to the healing powers of embracing one's past and charting a course of self-love and discovery.

September's Camera by Jeffrey Scarborough Pdf

Jeff Scarborough was the only cameraman on duty at WNBC's newsroom in New York when the attacks of 9/11 began. Armed with privileged information from the '93 attack on the World Trade Center-realizing both towers were doomed-Jeff pulled out of an emergency convoy just short of the WTC as he and reporter Rob Morrison approached the burning towers. Taking charge at the scene, Jeff ordered live-truck engineer Eddie Alonzo to stay 500 feet away and told all responding crews to back-off-dangerously becoming NBC's sole cameraman broadcasting live from Ground Zero. He permitted only the live-shot reporter to join him at his camera position-and during their live broadcast, the South Tower collapsed. They ran for their lives; Jeff rescued Eddie and stayed to videotape the panic and the North Tower collapse. September's Camera is the story of that fateful day, and of a career lived on the edge of danger-as Jeff's lens captured conflict, urban riots, blackouts, serial killers, plane crashes and human frailty in all its forms.

Me and Benny by Student and Senior Tutor in Modern History William Thomas,William Thomas Pdf

It was a hot humid day and as Deal looked down at the flower covered coffin he could feel the sweat running down his forehead and temples. All the while wishing the minister would hurry and end the service. Deal hates funerals and does everything he can to avoid them including this one, his mother's funeral. Life didn't turn out the way Deal expected. His life is in shambles. Something in his past is deeply embedded in his soul that makes him unable to cope with everyday life. Most people reminisce about a time when they were young, but Deal is obsessed with it. It's his escape from reality. After the funeral at his mother's home he drifts into a deep sleep. It all comes back, all the adventures he and Benny had the year he turned eleven and Benny turned nine, back when life was so much simpler. The story is an amusing account of Deal and Benny's adventures, trials and tribulations filled with plenty of nostalgia to remind the reader about the simple life of the 1950's before the onslaught of technology.
