excerpt from CHAPTER ONE: Wednesday, June 13The sultry breeze carried not a single hint that the summer afternoon would give birth to the worst aviation disaster in American history. At New York's bustling LaGuardia Airport, thousands of passengers clutched belongings, flashed driver's licenses, and gripped boarding passes before departing for far-flung destinations across the globe.

Four standby passengers smiled in relief when they were told seats were available.
