  • The author discusses the popularity of some disaster stories as of March 2014, arguing that disaster narratives are compelling because they often emphasize the moral aspects of the difficult decisions that leaders make in emergency circumstances. Topics include the book "Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital," by Sheri Fink, the motion picture "Gravity," and the book "Trapped Under the Sea: One Engineering Marvel, Five Men and a Disaster Ten Miles Into the Darkness," by Neil Swidey.
