Between 1946 and 1961, in the fledging years of Shannon International Airport, over two hundred lives were lost and countless others changed forever in a series of fatal air crashes. As the decades roll past, the number of former airport workers and rescue personnel who had first-hand experience of these terrible events sadly diminishes with each passing year.
With his new book,Falling Stars, Peter McGarry sets out to bring new light to details almost lost in the corridors of time. This book is far more than a forensic retelling of the Shannon crashes.Falling Stars is about human stories; the promising young lives cut short, the families ripped apart, tales of seemingly unshakeable careers cast aside, tales of real heroics and decency found within ordinary people. This work, the culmination of over 15 years of research and discovery, is also the story of finding new friends made through a common bond of remembrance of these times.
