This book is a wonderfully detailed account of a needless tragedy. Faulty design, bad science, poor engineering, lack of oversight, and some extremely bad decisions all contributed to the deaths of these unfortunate men. To say " I couldn't put this book down" is an understatement. The author brings you right into the tunnel with these men. You can actually feel the cold, the dampness, and the cramped, claustrophobic conditions that they had to endure. Highly recommended.

The story provides a snapshot of the five men who accepted the challenge of meeting the requirements of so many government agencies to accomplish a difficult task. The book is an example of the lack of flexability and understanding of government officials tasked to oversee projects which they don't understand. Equally responsible for the disaster and success of the outcome is the workings of big business. Delegation of authority and lack of responsibility appeared regularly as each obsticle was approached. The waste of tax payer money to complete the harbor clean up project in Boston shows how good men can get caught up in taking chances, disreguarding safety and accepting risks which they knew were not reasonable. Luck was depended on to get each part of the job done.After the disaster the lives of the remaining crew were presented with the examples of how some overcame events and memories and others failed and suffered as well as those that were close to them.The book provides a great factual timeline with major evolutions fully discussed and leaves the reader to draw their own opinions as to who was at fault.

I stumbled upon this book after researching the Deer Island treatment plant, as I have a fascination with all things engineering and infrastructure. The engineering feat of the outfall was impressive and when I learned that 2 divers died inside a dry tunnel, I needed more answers. Naturally it led me to this book and I couldn't put it down. I often look at structures we use everyday; that people may have lost their lives building. I think of how tragic it is that their sacrifice often goes unnoticed, while we just drive over a bridge to get to work. This book pays respect to all of those people. I think Neil did a great job of capturing the personalities of the people in the story and you feel a personal connection with them. And let's not forget the depictions of the fascinating engineering that needed to take place to foster this disaster. It's a fantastic book, it should be a must read for anyone in engineering, construction diving, project management etc.

This was an interesting read and turned out to be something a little different than what I'd expected. My expectation was a book about a harrowing mission gone bad and the rescue of the workers in the tunnel. Well, of course it was that, but that part of the story was the smallest part of the book. Swidey spent most of his narrative laying the back story and aftermath out in detail. And that's what made the book interesting. The construction efforts and story of the tunnel, the divers and project managers, etc. were/are all interesting characters, and how the events of the failed assignment affected all of them. Turned out to be a very compelling story, and tragic in terms of how the people's lives were impacted by what happened in the tunnel. All in all this was a very readable and interesting story, mostly about people's lives before and after the tragedy, and well worth the read.

As others have remarked, this book is a page turner. Most of the credit goes to the writer who clearly knows his craft.The storyline is not new. Worker safety taking a back seat to other priorities, lax governance, shirking responsibility, wishful thinking, incompetence, and arrogance. The physical set-up is unique (9 mile construction tunnel under 100+ swf), but whether workers are killed in mines, building dams, offshore oil rigs, related factors collude to create catastrophic events including deaths. And "ordinary heroes" as quoted in the book may draw the short end of the stick.In less capable hands, the story could easily have been matter-of-fact, monotone, factual, but void of spirit. The author, through extensive interviews and leg work, brings the characters to life. Workers become pawns in games played by competing factions, big and small. And we invariably root for the five divers, two of whom perish in the tunnel due to inadequate equipment and safety procedures. And Massachusetts lacks effective criminal means to prosecute such potential wrong-doings, still as the author noted in the epilogue. A familiar state of affair in many parts of the world.

My dad called me and told me to read this book. Donald (one of the divers) had worked with my family in Idaho before he went on to become a diver. Donald had a rye sense of humor and a solid human. He was wonderfully entertaining to a little kid around the property. Somehow, we always kept track of Donald as he progressed through life. As for the book, it was well written. The depth of research and writing was fantastic. Extraordinary what situation the divers were put into and how they survived. Many of the reviews are much more detailed. Read their reviews then, read this book.
