Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On December 28, 1972, Eastern Airlines flight 401 was on its final approach into Miami International after midnight. The airplane had left New York on time, and it had been a normal, uneventful flight right up until the pilot attempted to lower the landing gear. An indicator light in the cockpit that confirmed the landing gear was down and locked didn't come on, and the pilot and crew had to figure out if it was a burnt-out light bulb or something more serious. #2 When she was 13, Susan Bugbee's life was torn apart when her father, an orthopedic surgeon, lost a lung to tuberculosis. They had to move to the desert for his respiratory health. Her father allowed her to roam around while he was working, and she always seemed drawn to the building where the artisans were creating the jewelry and art that they sold to tourists. #3 The person Susan became in spite of her horrible tragedy was extraordinary. In 1945, she would meet the one person who would not only change her life in a big way, but who would never leave her. #4 Frank Borman was born in 1928, at a time when the Great Depression was ravaging the country. His parents, who were both teachers, moved to Arizona to find work. His father, Edwin, was able to lease a Mobil service station.
