Book excerpt: The Loss of the Titanic The story of the sinking of the Titanic, as told by the official enquiry, reveals some remarkable facts which have been lost in popular re-tellings of the story. A ship of the same line, only a few miles away from the Titanic as she sank, should have been able to rescue passengers, so why did this not happen? Readers of this fascinating report will discover that many such questions remain unanswered and that the full story of a tragedy which has entered into popular mythology has by no means been told. The R.101 Disaster In the golden age of air travel, the R101 was the biggest and most splendid airship in the world. On the evening of the 4th October 1930 she left her mooring mast at Cardington on her ill-fated journey to India. As the ship ploughed on through increasingly threatening weather, The Air Minister and his guests retired to their well appointed cabins. Seven hours later at 2.05 am her burning frame lay shattered on a hillside in France, 46 of its 54 passengers killed instantly. The high hopes and ambitions of a brief but glorious era in aviation perished with them in the flames, changing forever the way we would fly. The Munich Air Crash 1958 The

Download or read book Black Widow written by Leslie Gray Streeter and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With her signature warmth, hilarity, and tendency to overshare, Leslie Gray Streeter gives us real talk about love, loss, grief, and healing in your own way that "will make you laugh and cry, sometimes on the same page" (James Patterson). Leslie Gray Streeter is not cut out for widowhood. She's not ready for hushed rooms and pitying looks. She is not ready to stand graveside, dabbing her eyes in a classy black hat. If she had her way she'd wear her favorite curve-hugging leopard print dress to Scott's funeral; he loved her in that dress! But, here she is, having lost her soulmate to a sudden heart attack, totally unsure of how to navigate her new widow lifestyle. ("New widow lifestyle." Sounds like something you'd find products for on daytime TV, like comfy track suits and compression socks. Wait, is a widow even allowed to make jokes?) Looking at widowhood through the prism of race, mixed marriage, and aging, Black Widow redefines the stages of grief, from coffin shopping to day-drinking, to being a grown-ass woman crying for your mommy, to breaking up and making up with God, to facing the fact that life goes on even after the death of the person you were supposed to live it with. While she stumbles toward an uncertain future as a single mother raising a baby with her own widowed mother (plot twist!), Leslie looks back on her love story with Scott, recounting their journey through racism, religious differences, and persistent confusion about what kugel is. Will she find the strength to finish the most important thing that she and Scott started? Tender, true, and endearingly hilarious, Black Widow is a story about the power of love, and how the only guide book for recovery is the one you write yourself.

Upon relocating from the Eastern Cape to Pretoria due to her parents’ job commitments, the young vivacious Andiswa Qumba had only one goal; to focus on her academics. This was until she met Raymond Letlape, a young man with a charming face over his shoulders. He is popularly known as Ray, and merely for many unpleasant things too. It was love at first sight, as they instantly attained “the best couple” title, simultaneously making everyone envious of them at school. However it all comes crashing down when they are troubled by skeletons from past relationships, lies, deceit and a jealous crush who’d do just about anything to break them apart, even if it means putting Raymond on a hospital bed.

Book excerpt: The R.101, larger than any other airship in the world, was built at Cardington, near Bedford, in 1930. Seven hours into her maiden voyage to India, in increasingly threatening weather, she crashed into a hillside at Beauvais in France. Of the 54 people on board, all but eight died instantly. This is the report of the inquiry into the disaster and the tragic loss of life which exposed the pressure from the Air Minister, Lord Thomson, that, whatever the technical causes of the crash, had at the last minute unduly hurried designers, constructors and crew. The early end of the airship in modern commercial flight was the result. Uncovered Editions are historic official papers which have not previously been available in a popular form.
