Beginning ~ with the plane crash

"Each moment was different from the one before, but each had its own unique threat, its own unmistakable sign that something serious was happening.  The plane was still moving, so I knew it hadn't yet crashed against one of those peaks that had come into view much too close to the little window I had been resting my head against only seconds earlier."

Out of the Silence: After the Crash ~ by Eduardo Strauch, translated by Jennie Erikson, 2012 (translation 2019), memoir (Argentina)

A rugby team crashed in the Andes mountains in 1972.  Four decades later, a climber discovered survivor Eduardo Strauch's wallet near the memorialized crash site and returned it to him.  Strauch felt compelled to "break the silence of the mountains"  and revisited the horror story to share how surviving that crash forever altered his perception of love, friendship, death, fear, loss, and hope.

One reviewer wrote that "several people ... had a premonition before takeoff that the plane might crash."  I got this book back in April, when the Kindle version was offered free for a few days.  Now, I'm ready to start reading it.
