For Rudy Maxa Show Listeners: My Original Brazil Story

Rudy Maxa, the well-known broadcast travel journalist, has been interviewing me this weekend on his national radio program about the horrific Brazil mid-air collision that I was among seven survivors of on Sept. 29, 2006. (154 others died].

Listeners have been wondering how to find the original story I wrote about the disaster on the front page of the New York Times after the crash.

Here's the link to it

Please note that subsequently, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board investigation found that the probable cause of the accident was serious mistakes by Brazilian air traffic control. Also, the original Times story has a number for the dead, 155, that the Brazilians later revised to 154.

Hi Joe,

I'd like to listen to the interview - do you know during which part of the show it aired?

I can see the recording is posted here, but it's 2 hours long and doesn't specify when different guests are on: b

(I assume you were on the May 21 airing).
