SOS<br />
Stories of Survival<br />
True tales of disaster, tragedy, and courage<br />
Ed Butts<br />
Everyone’s life is touched at some time by disaster. But some disasters<br />
loom so large they are international events. The stories of those<br />
who live through such devastating events such as earthquakes,<br />
tsunamis, hurricanes, fires, and floods are both heartbreaking<br />
and compelling. Often they are inspiring and uplifting.<br />
SOS: Stories of Survival tells the tales of young survivors of such<br />
disasters – teenage coal miners trapped deep below the surface of<br />
the earth in Springhill, Nova Scotia; children who ran to escape<br />
the poisonous exploding gases spewing from Mont Pelee on<br />
Martinique; teens who rode the roofs of their homes in<br />
Pennsylvania’s roaring Johnstown Flood; and youngsters who<br />
survived, but still suffer from, the nuclear accident in<br />
Chernobyl.<br />
