Only minutes after its departure from Honolulu, Flight 1421 crashes into the ocean. Surprisingly, many of the passengers are uninjured and begin evacuating into the ocean to wait for rescue. This is a bad idea. Fire in the engine sparks the leaking fuel which has surrounded the plane. As the people in the water try to swim clean of the fire, those still onboard close the plane doors to avoid the black smoke. Suddenly, Flight 1421 sinks to the bottom of the ocean with twelve people onboard.
This story is told (mostly) from the point-of-view of two characters. Will Kent is an engineer who is accompanying his eleven-year-old daughter Shannon to San Francisco. Chris Kent is Will's soon-to-be ex-wife. She is also a professional diver who is currently working with the Navy on a salvage operation. Will knows that the chance of rescue is slim, especially since the plane has only 5-6 hours of oxygen left. When Chris learns of the situation, she is determined to rescue her daughter, no matter the cost.
Wow! This book was non-stop action. As other reviewers have mentioned, this book reminded me of the disaster movies that were so prominent in the 1970's. (I've watched them all.) Just how were they going to rescue twelve passengers who were in a plane teetering on a ledge in the ocean? Would everyone survive? I listened to the audiobook and had a hard time stopping. Totally addictive. My rating: 5 Stars.
