Sebastian Junger and his storm story

Nieman Storyboard and The Perfect Storm author Sebastian Junger discuss line-by-line his Outside story that later became a book and movie. Here's Junger on reconstructing an event that none of the participants survived: "And I didn’t want to fictionalize, obviously, because I considered myself a journalist. But I'd read a book called The Hot Zone by Richard Preston, and he'd do this thing where he'd say, 'Maybe he took a walk' or 'Maybe he watched the sunset.'"
