On the evening of July 27, 1985, five hikers made a fateful choice to climb Yosemiteâ??s fabled Half Dome, even as the sky darkened and thunder rolled. By nightâ??s end, two would be dead from a lightning strike, three gravely wounded, and desperate EMTs would be overseeing a harrowing midnight helicopter rescue. Shattered Air is a haunting account of recklessness, tragedy, courage, and rescue, a book whose depiction of Natureâ??s power is tempered by unforgettable portraits of human courage and the will to survive.
