In 1983 Reavis helped evacuate United Airlines Flight 200 at O'Hare International Airport. After an engine exploded during takeoff, he "ripped open the exit door, stowed it to one side", and led other passengers out of the Boeing 727, a fellow passenger said. [1]

The book was first published by Simon & Schuster in 1995, and it was later re-published by Syracuse University Press in 1998.
