Brian Robson and his book, The Crate Escape, get featured by CNN Travel in a news article written by Tamara Hardingham-Gill. The article gives us an insight into what was going on inside Brian's mind before he got into the crate to undertake the tortuous journey, in hopes of a reunion with his old friends. 

The Crate Escape tells us how Brian Robson risked his life by becoming the first person in history to fly for five days in a crate across the Pacific Ocean. After getting homesick in Australia and having little money in his pockets, Brian decided to return to his homeland in the United Kingdom. Two Irishmen played an integral role in sending him back through the air. The riveting story of Brian Robson is also getting developed into a movie.

Brian Robson was born in the United Kingdom in June 1945. He spent most of his adult life travelling and living in various nations throughout Asia and Europe. This book narrates his first travelling experience and his almost fatal decision to achieve his wish and return home.
