A Day To Die For: 1996: Everest's Worst Disaster - The Untold True Story
Waterstones Product Information
You save: £3.00 On the night of 10-11 May 1996, eight climbers perished in what remains the worst disaster in Everest's history. Following the tragedy, numerous accounts were published, with Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air becoming an international bestseller. But has the whole story been told? A Day to Die For reveals for the first time the full, startling facts that led to the tragedy. Graham Ratcliffe, the first British climber to reach the summit of Mount Everest twice, was a first-hand witness, having spent the night on Everest's South Col at 26,000 ft, sheltering from the deadly storm. For years, he has shouldered a burden of guilt, feeling that he and his teammates could have saved lives that fateful night. His quest for answers has led to discoveries so important to an understanding of the disaster that he now questions why these facts were not made public sooner. History is dotted with highprofile disasters that both horrify and capture the attention of the public, but very rarely is our view of them revised to such devastating effect.

Fire In The Night: The Piper Alpha Disaster
Waterstones Product Information
You save: £2.20 The fire was visible seventy miles away as a distant, flickering flame on the horizon. The heat generated was so intense that a helicopter could only circle at a perimeter of one mile. Flying at a height of 200 feet, the air crew saw that the tongues of flame extended high above the rotor blades. On the surface a converted fishing trawler inched as close as possible, but the paint on the vessel's hull blistered and burnt, and the rope handrails began to smoke. In the water surrounding the inferno, men's heads could be seen bobbing like apples as their yellow hard hats melted with the heat. At the centre stood, at least for now, the Piper Alpha oil platform, 110 miles northeast of Aberdeen, once the world's single largest oil producer. On 6 July 1988, its final day, it was ablaze with 226 men onboard. Only sixty-one would survive. "Fire in the Night" tells, for the first time and in gripping detail, the devastating story of that summer evening.Combining interviews with survivors, witness statements and transcripts from the official enquiry into the disaster, this is the moving and vivid tale of what happened on that fateful night inside an oil rig inferno.

Diminished Capacity
The Hut Product Information
Colourful family dysfunction is the order of the day in this ramshackle indie road comedy that travels along the LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE/FLIRTING WITH DISASTER route. Adapted by Sherwood Kiraly from his comic novel DIMINISHED CAPACITY is about Chicago reporter Cooper (Matthew Broderick) who has short-term memory loss as the result of a concussion. He goes home to Missouri to check on his senile Uncle Rollie (Alan Alda) who has--among other nutty ideas--a system for getting the fish in the lake near the ancestral homestead to write poetry. Virginia Madsen is Charlotte the girl next door who stayed behind to marry some knucklehead when Cooper moved away--and now sparks rekindle. Everyone gets together for a road trip to Chicago where Uncle Rollie plans to sell a priceless baseball card at a sports memorabilia convention. Stealing the movie outright is Dylan Baker as a tightly wound Cubs fan/card trader; he lends the movie a welcome sense of original comic timing and tone. Also good are Bobby Cannevale as the vibrantly brash card trader in the next booth Louis C.K. as a recovering alcoholic who tries to rehabilitate Charlotte's snivelling brother (Jim Truefrost) a petty thief with eyes on Rollie's card and Bhavna de Montebello as a pretty psychiatrist. It's all set to a nice score of jangly indie guitars and tunes from Sufjan Stevens' gently devastating ILLINOIS album as befits a 'quirky' feel-good indie. This first-time feature for actor-turned-director Terry Kinney certainly fits that bill; like old Uncle Rollie it's a little disoriented at times but all the more loveable for it.

D-Day Heroes

Others on different beaches or engaged in special operations encountered determined resistance which put the whole of the D-Day landings in jeopardy.D-DAY HEROES focuses on the fiercest fighting on D-Day with the pick of combat footage from archives around the world film of the battlefields today and vivid chilling first hand accounts from Normandy veterans. As well as combat on the beaches D-DAY HEROES featured many of the perilous support operations where despite often terrible losses Allied troops somehow managed to seize their objectives. It was their heroism and self-sacrifice which ultimately made D-Day a success.Engagements featured on the DVD include:- The legendary battle for Pegasus Bridge fought and won by a single company of the Oxford and Buckinghamshire light infantry...- The fierce fight to secure Utah Beach and the near disaster at Omaha Beach where American troops were pinned down in the surf by a devastating crossfire and the invasion nearly crumbled...- The combined parachute and glider assault by the American Airborne Divisions - the largest airborne operation ever mounted - to secure the vital Western flak of the beaches by taking the small market town of St Mere Eglise...
