Download Sabotage: A Chronicle of the Chesterton Crash: Volume 1 AudioBook Free
In Oct of 1933 a aircraft holding seven people exploded and crashed over Chesterton, Indiana, coming to Chicago, eradicating all on board. The crash shocked the small community of Chesterton, but what really shocked the united states was the revelation that it was a bomb that brought the aircraft down. The airline industry was new, and the news headlines of an bomb was possibly disastrous to an industry that was still trying to show itself safe to a skeptical public and that was also experiencing labor issues with its pilots and mechanics. The man in charge of the research as the one and only Melvin Purvis, the G-man in charge of the Chicago FBI office and the person who would become a superstar for decreasing John Dillinger. However, what no one knew was that pressure from J. Edgar Hoover to fully capture loan company robbers and gangsters, plus Hoover's petty jealousy on the increasing reputation of Purvis, made life in the Chicago FBI office a living hell as Purvis and his men juggled dozens of cases while also trying to find a culprit in the Chesterton aircraft bombing. It is a puzzle that remains to this day, but rarely anyone knows about it. For the first time, creator Bryan Alaspa explores the FBI data files, presents the data the investigators found, and presents the story of what was happening behind-the-scenes at the FBI. For the first time, the story of the Chesterton Crash is told. Today, we'd say that the event was the first circumstance of terrorism against a commercial airliner. Back then, they just called it Sabotage.
