The Crash of Delta Flight 723 - The Worst Air Disaster in New England History (Paperback)

At the height of the Watergate scandal, Delta Flight 723 crashed
into a fog-shrouded seawall at the end of Runway 4R at Logan
Airport in Boston. While this incident and Watergate seemed
unrelated at first, President Richard Nixon and his subordinate's
actions during Watergate interfered with the ability of the
National Transportation Safety Board to properly investigate the
crash. It wasn't until three court cases, a federal investigation,
congressional hearings, as well as a state investigation, when the
true cause of the accident was exposed ten years later. This is
also the story of Air Force Sergeant Leopold Chouinard and his
incredible fight for survival. Chouinard survived the initial
impact of the crash, only to suffer third and fourth degree burns
on the majority of his body. Doctors fought against incredible odds
to try and save Chouinard's life. For 134 days, Leo Chouinard
defied all expectations as his doctors and nurses applied the
latest advancements in burn treatments to save him from a
non-survivable accident. They nearly succeeded. Through interviews
with Chouinard's family, his physicians, and the NTSB's
investigation, comes a story of corruption, determination, and
vindication as well as the answer to what really caused that crash
at Logan airport.
