Overview

In 1986, when she was 26, Catherine Hill was travelling home from India when her Pan Am flight was hijacked. Terrorists took over the aircraft and the hostages endured nearly 17 hours of terror. Convinced that Pakistani troops were about to try and rescue the hostages, the terrorists finally forced as many people as possible into the aisles and attempted to massacre them. In the slaughter that followed, 21 people died and more than 100 were injured. Over the years that followed, Catherine endured a series of over 20 horrendous operations as surgeons attempted to heal her mutilated body. After difficult legal battles against Pan Am and her medical team, Catherine found herself facing her greatest challenge so far, as she became engulfed by depression when she slowly realized that nothing would ever be the same again, as she was left permanently disabled. Dancing in the Sea tells of her struggle, as well as her eventual realization that there were new ways of doing things and her life would go on.
