"The tragedies keep coming. As we reel from the latest horror..." So begins a new epilogue, illustrating how Columbine became the template for nearly two decades of "spectacle murders". It is a false script, seized upon by a generation of new killers. In the wake of Newtown, Aurora, and Virginia Tech, the imperative to understand the crime that sparked this plague grows more urgent every year. What really happened April 20, 1999? The horror left an indelible stamp on the American psyche, but most of what we "know" is wrong.

Good Book on the Subject, Author like many who don’t like firearms, just stereotype those who do

There is no such thing as a “Semi-Automatic Machine Gun”
Ridiculous terminology like the above, about items that don’t exist.

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 35 years. No one could fathom how a vessel equipped with satellite communications and a sophisticated navigation system 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 ship’s data recorder - journalist Rachel Slade unravels the mystery.

‘Run The Storm’ is a book for sailors. ‘Into the Raging Sea’ is a book for Liberal Book clubs needing a book about a sunken ship
Revisado: 08-09-21
If you’re a sailor be it US Navy, Merchant Marine or even Blackbeard ‘Run The Storm’ by Foy was written for sailors and those that respect their craft.
‘Into the Raging Sea’ by Slade which certainly has it’s merits and could have been a truly great book but the author does what any Non-Fiction Author should ever do; Involve Politics. Not The Political Hierarchy at Tote but Politics post 2017 when President Trump was sworn in and apparently Rachel Slade Caught TDS. 2/3 of her book seems to trash a President and Conservatism in general. Odd especially when considering President Obama was ‘El Faro’ sank in 2015; A time when Trump Wasn’t even considered a candidate.
That and the supposed sexual harassment of Capt. Davidson toward Danielle Randolph. Which exists only in the mind of Slade. No proof, no nothing. Just further defacing and fodder to cast off on a Captain and his remaining family. WHO knows and accepts blame Davidson made a fatal error.
‘Run the Storm’ is a masterpiece.
The Raging Sea likely could have been if the author left her political feelings out of it. BECAUSE POLITICIANS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY ACTION WHILE LOADING, PILOTING AND GUIDING EL FARO IN JOAQUIN. FACT.
R.I.P. SS EL FARO

On October 1, 2015, the SS El Faro, a cargo ship tall as a hundred-story building that made a regular run between Jacksonville, Florida, and Puerto Rico, delivering everything from razor blades to new Chevrolet cars, disappeared in Hurricane Joaquin, a category 4 storm. The ship, her hundreds of shipping containers, and her entire crew sank to the bottom of the ocean, three miles down. The sinking was the greatest seagoing US merchant marine shipping disaster since World War II.
