Emilio Corsetti appears on The Sky Steward Radio Show

January 15, 2010, marks the one-year anniversary of US Airways flight 1549 which was successfully ditched in the Hudson River after striking a flock of geese during its take-off climb. Although this is the most easily remembered airliner water landing, it is interesting to look back at a ditching that took place on May 2, 1970, involving an Overseas National Airlines DC-9 en-route from JFK to St. Maarten.

On the Sky Steward Radio Show, we’ll chat with Emilio Corsetti, author of “35 Miles From Shore”, which recounts the dramtic crash and rescue in the waters of the Caribbean and discover how this 1970′s crash changed airline safety forever. For some great information and images of the ALM (Overseas National Airways) crash are available at www.35milesfromshore.com
