About the Author
On Friday, May 9, 1980 at 7:34 a.m. -- the official day, hour and minute the Sunshine Skyway Bridge plummeted into Tampa Bay -- I was sleeping soundly in my home in Bradenton, Florida.Sleeping soundly until my wife woke me with the announcement, "Gene Page is on the phone and he says it's important.""Tell him I'll call him back," I mumbled."I think you better talk to him now."Through the fuzz of semi-consciousness I could only get the gist of Gene's excited chatter..."something big at the Skyway...people in the water...I'm heading there in my boat..."I hung up the phone and headed back to bed. I wasn't due in the newsroom for another two hours, and I was confident Gene, the most aggressive spot news photojournalist known to man, would run down what probably would be a wild goose chase or return to the darkroom later in the day with outstanding photos.Snooze and you lose...and I almost did. Not only would I have missed the biggest story of my 20 years as a reporter and editor, I would have missed future paychecks from my employer, the Sarasota (Florida) Herald-Tribune, for my gross negligence and incompetence. And rightfully so. But thanks to the fickle finger of fate or by the grace of God, I didn't miss the events surrounding one of the worst ship-bridge accidents in history.Instead, I became one of the first journalists to witness the incredible events that occurred in the following weeks and months. It was obvious people wanted more information about the Skyway Bridge collapse, so within six months I wrote and published the original manuscript that became SKYWAY. With its gripping and sometimes raw photos, SKYWAY became a success, selling 5,000 copies the first month.I told myself that one day in the future I would provide an update. Almost 40 years later, I did.The new revised edition contains the original manuscript and photos; I added a follow up called "Aftermath," which includes details about those persons central to the tragedy and remembrances from journalists who witnessed history in the making.
