The ship, its hundreds of shipping containers, and its entire crew plummeted to the bottom of the ocean, three miles down. It was the greatest seagoing US merchant marine shipping disaster since World War II. The massive ship had a seasoned crew, state-of-the-art navigation equipment, and advance warning of the storm. It seemed incomprehensible that such a ship could sink so suddenly. How, in this day and age, could something like this happen? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRelying on Coast Guard inquest hearings, as well as on numerous interviews, George Michelsen Foy brings us \"the most insightful exploration of this unthinkable disaster\" (\u003ci\u003eOutside\u003c\/i\u003e), a story that lasts only a few days, but which grows almost intolerably suspenseful as deep-rooted flaws leading to the disaster inexorably link together and worsen. We see captain, engineers, and crew fight for their lives, and hear their actual words (as recorded on the ship's black box) while the hurricane relentlessly tightens its noose around the ship. We watch, minute by minute, all that is happening on board--the ship's mysterious tilt to one side, worried calls to the engine room, ship-to-shore reports, the courage of the men and women as they fight to survive, and the berserk ocean's savage consumption of the massive hull. And through it all, the pain and ultimate resilience of the families of \u003ci\u003eEl Faro\u003c\/i\u003e's crew. Now with a new afterword, this \"tour de force of nautical expertise\" (\u003ci\u003eOcean Navigator\u003c\/i\u003e) is a masterwork of stunning power.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.3 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 06, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431099646130,"sku":"9781501184901","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/2663ef19584796aaa310ee189b5e3c1e.webp?v=1778584231","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/run-the-storm-a-savage-hurricane-a-brave-crew-and-the-wreck-of-the-ss-el-faro-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
