Press Release Summary: Announcement of Emilio Corsetti's virtual book tour promoting his narrative nonfiction title, "35 Miles from Shore".
Press Release Body: Join author Emilio Corsetti III on his first virtual book tour with Pump Up Your Book Promotion Public Relations as he travels the blogosphere in May to talk about his debut novel, "35 Miles from Shore: The Ditching and Rescue of ALM Flight 980". On May 2, 1970, a DC-9 jet with fifty-seven passengers and a crew of six departed New York's JFK international airport en route to the tropical island of St. Maarten. The flight ended four hours and thirty-four minutes later in the shark-infested waters of the Caribbean. It was at the time, and remains, the only open-water ditching of a commercial jet. The subsequent rescue of survivors took nearly three hours and involved the Coast Guard, Navy, and Marines. In this gripping account of that fateful day, author Emilio Corsetti puts the reader inside the cabin, the cockpit, and the rescue helicopters as the crews struggle against the weather and dwindling daylight to rescue the survivors who have only their life vests and a lone escape chute to keep them afloat.
"Corsetti has written a wonderful book," says Bob Buck, author of "North Star Over My Shoulder". John Carver Edwards from the University of Georgia Libraries in Cleveland says, "This well-researched, fast-paced study vividly re-creates the chain of errors that resulted in the catastrophe, the harrowing rescue missions, and the mixed effects of the tragedy on the subsequent lives of the crew, survivors, and rescuers."
Emilio Corsetti III is a professional pilot and author. His work has appeared in both regional and national publications including the "Chicago Tribune", "Multimedia Producer", and "Professional Pilot" magazine. He and his wife Lynn reside in Lake St. Louis, Missouri.
"Emilio is a joy to work with!" says Cheryl Malandrinos, Tour Coordinator for Pump Up Your Book Promotion Public Relations. "I'm honored to have a small part in promoting his book."
