Golden Airways flight 100 with one hundred passengers and five crew members aboard, flying from San Francisco to Denver, nose-dives into a Colorado mountainside at 500 mph, obliterating all but a few small pieces of wreckage. No human remains are discovered. The Other Side of Impact is a story of many personal lives: the passengers aboard the doomed flight, crew members, air traffic controllers, recovery teams, members of the FAA and the NTSB and the many loved ones left behind, emotionally stranded by this horrific accident. What happens during instant death? Does the energy of consciousness simply evaporate or does it transform and continue on to some other level of presence? Is death an instant finality as most atheists and agnostics proclaim or is the vitality of life inextinguishable, more than just one consciousness, extending beyond what most minds can comprehend? Ethan Andrews, an ex-priest, and his flying companion Jessica Gibson take us into their lives and the many consequential lives affected by the air disaster. The experiences are real and seem grounded in reality; other times the mystery of metaphysical awareness suspends that sense of realness and forces us to see beyond, into a universe of alternate possibilities. The Other Side of Impact is a fast-paced narrative, a thriller at times, a mystery, a spiritual adventure and a drama of human suffering, hope and love. The possibilities it raises are both inspiring and surreal, and grounded in the causality of human drama and irony.
