For reader reactions, click Reviews tab A Word from the Author Several years after the airline crash that claimed my sister and nephew, I decided to document their lives for her surviving son. In the midst of preserving these special memories, another story began to reveal itself. That odyssey, recounted in my book, is an inspiring tale of hope and activism that led to landmark legislation—the Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act of 1996—which revamped and redefined family response. In 2019, at its twenty-fifth anniversary, the crash of American Eagle Flight 4184 continues to shape my life. I have been privileged to witness the evolution of family response and its impact, first on the airline industry, then on mass transportation, and then at the international level. Family response has also become a key topic at conferences addressing mass-fatality events, both natural and man-made. The progression of this movement is an inspiring advance that may one day benefit you and your loved ones. |
