Dad eventually explained that the accident had haunted him for decades. Although investigators cleared him of wrongdoing, the experience left him emotionally devastated. He remembered every injured passenger and every desperate moment inside the aircraft. Worst of all, one crew member, Ruth, had never survived. He blamed himself despite knowing he had done everything possible. Returning to the cockpit became unbearable, and eventually he abandoned his aviation career completely.
Mom had been the only person who knew everything. She helped him rebuild his life and discover happiness again.
