Book Description
Pacific International Airlines Flight PI019—Flight 19—leaves Honolulu airport on a routine trip to Los Angeles on Thursday, January 17th, 2019. Two hours in, with 210 people on-board, the plane vanishes into thin air. An exhaustive search finds no trace of Flight 19, its passengers, or its crew, and the disappearance becomes modern aviation’s greatest mystery. Five years later, an incoming plane asks for permission to enter LAX airspace. But there’s something unusual about this apparently routine request. It’s the missing Pacific International flight. What’s more, those on-board don’t yet know the year is now 2024. The last five years have passed them by in a matter of minutes. Flight 19 takes you through the months just after these people learn of their fate: their husbands and wives remarried, houses sold, jobs lost, possessions given away or disposed of, and loved ones dead and buried. This is a story that will touch everyone who cares about the life they have. Their jobs and possessions. The places they call home. The people they love. Read Flight 19 and see how the passengers and crew react when they lose it all.

Pages : 108
Book Description
The disappearance of Flight 19, five US Navy Grumman TBM Avenger torpedo bombers, on December 5th 1945 and the subsequent vanishing of a Martin Mariner PBM flying boat which was searching for them remains one of the most baffling and enduring aviation mysteries.More nonsense has been written about Flight 19 than almost any other aviation mystery. The loss of these aircraft has been blamed on everything from giant waterspouts to UFOs and even on the malign influence of the Bermuda Triangle. However, many previous writers have either invented evidence to support their theories or have focused on only a single aspect of this tragedy. This book includes a detailed analysis of all the evidence and concludes that the solution to this mystery is much simpler but no less tragic or surprising. The writer has experience of both investigative journalism and flying and uses this knowledge to provide a harrowing account of human failure and fallibility that led directly to the deaths of twenty-seven men.Clearly set out and meticulously researched, this book finally tells the real story of Flight 19.

From Memory to Memorial
Author: J. William Thompson
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271078995
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
On September 11, 2001, Shanksville, Pennsylvania, became a center of national attention when United Airlines Flight 93 crashed into a former strip mine in sleepy Somerset County, killing all forty passengers and crew aboard. This is the story of the memorialization that followed, from immediate, unofficial personal memorials to the ten-year effort to plan and build a permanent national monument to honor those who died. It is also the story of the unlikely community that developed through those efforts. As the country struggled to process the events of September 11, temporary memorials—from wreaths of flowers to personalized T-shirts and flags—appeared along the chain-link fences that lined the perimeter of the crash site. They served as evidence of the residents’ need to pay tribute to the tragedy and of the demand for an official monument. Weaving oral accounts from Shanksville residents and family members of those who died with contemporaneous news reports and records, J. William Thompson traces the creation of the monument and explores the larger narrative of memorialization in America. He recounts the crash and its sobering immediate impact on area residents and the nation, discusses the history of and controversies surrounding efforts to permanently commemorate the event, and relates how locals and grief-stricken family members ultimately bonded with movers and shakers at the federal level to build the Flight 93 National Memorial. A heartfelt examination of memory, place, and the effects of tragedy on small-town America, this fact-driven account of how the Flight 93 National Memorial came to be is a captivating look at the many ways we strive as communities to forever remember the events that change us.

Book Description
On December 5, 1945, five TBM Avengers, known as Flight 19, took off from NAS Ft. Lauderdale on a training mission. After becoming disoriented and lost, radio communication ceased. Flight 19 was never seen or heard from again. Thus, cementing Flight 19, as the cornerstone of the Bermuda Triangle Legend. Seventy years later, it is still a mystery. Part of the reason could be blamed on the fact that the general public has never seen the most important key to the mystery. A published version of the "original navy investigation". But now all of that has changed. Andy Marocco, founder of AeroQuest.org, has compiled and organized all of the "original documents" of the 1945 investigation from government microfilm and published them in a series of book volumes, known as the FLIGHT 19 Naval Report. For the first time, teachers, students and researchers will finally have access to all the "original documents" of the Flight 19 investigation in a "printed standard" for collaboration, discussion and reference.It is believed that the FLIGHT 19 Naval Report volumes will become "key tools" for the next generation of Flight 19 investigators to help solve the greatest aviation mystery of all time.In Volume 1 of the FLIGHT 19 Naval Report: The Testimony, the experts and personnel that testified in the Naval Hearings of December 1945, share their intimate knowledge and opinions about Flight 19.
