520 "On October 1, 2015, Hurricane Joaquin barreled into the
Bermuda Triangle and swallowed the container ship El Faro
whole, resulting in the worst American shipping disaster
in thirty-five years. No one could fathom how a vessel
equipped with satellite communications, a sophisticated
navigation system, and cutting-edge weather forecasting
could suddenly vanish--until now. Relying on hundreds of
exclusive interviews with family members and maritime
experts, as well as the words of the crew members
themselves--whose conversations were captured by the ships
data recorder--journalist Rachel Slade unravels the
mystery of the sinking of El Faro. As she recounts the
final twenty-four hours onboard, Slade vividly depicts the
officers anguish and fear as they struggled to carry out
Captain Michael Davidson's increasingly bizarre commands,
which, they knew, would steer them straight into the eye
of the storm. Taking a hard look at America's aging
merchant marine fleet, Slade also reveals the truth about
modern shipping--a cut-throat industry plagued by razor-
thin profits and ever more violent hurricanes fueled by
global warming"--Amazon.com.
