Noah Gallagher Shannon writes in the New York Times that he lived through a near-death experience -- "The Plane Was About to Crash. Now What?" -- but now some are questioning his account.

Everyone's trying to track him down for an interview, but the only possible match I can find is an athletic profile from my alma mater -- Arizona State University!
