Nelson‘s account of the events leading up to the mid-air collision of TWA 2 and United 718 and the efforts to locate the crash sites and recover the victims‘ remains is riveting. However, I found his sweeping descriptions of the reactions of victims‘ families (e.g., everyone felt…) to be too broad and cloying as were his speculations of the role of fate in this tragedy.
