Synopsis
Readers join desperate pilots in the cockpit as they fight gravity and time in a plane that's falling out of the sky. Anyone who watches the news knows about the "black box." Officially called the cockpit voice recorder, the black box (which is actually Day-glo orange) records the final moments of any in-flight accident. Often it provides the only explanation of a crash -- inevitably, it provides a heart-breaking, second-by-second account of intense fear tempered by unyielding professionalism. This 1984 Quill title has been completely updated to include twenty-eight new incidents occurring between 1978 and 1996. Some are famous, like the 1996 Valujet crash in the Everglades and the ill-fated launch of the space shuttle Challenger; other disasters range from commuter prop aircraft to jumbo airliners and a pair of Air Force planes. Few have ever been revealed in their entirety, each, without exception, is absolutely gripping. In this new edition, editor Malcolm MacPherson has, wherever possible, added weather notes and descriptions of events in the cockpit and cabin, heightening our vivid sense of being there during the final moments. Provided by the National Transportation Safety Board and vetted by an experienced airline captain, these are unforgettable case studies in ultimate emergency -- authentic, immediate, filled with drama, terror, human frailty and error, and unquenchable courage.

    I don't give negatives; However, description was not correct; No price guide was included in this book.As you will see in book pic shown; title states price guide included, no price guide inside. Communication poor, description, no communication price guide missing from this book. Shipping time was weeks before it was even shipped. Blamed the shipping on warehouse. You own & operate a business; your warehouse is not up to standards you change who you do business with. It's your responsibility.

    Sobering review of cockpit voice recorder comments.

    Thoughtful telling of airline crashes and near-misses, using the Cockpit Voice Recorder information. Very interesting collection. Those wanting more information on a specific crash or near miss can go to Wikipedia or similar source to gather more follow up information if they wish. This author later published another book, which focused more on survivors' comments from interviews after the crash, which also is worth reading, especially if you fly.

    Aviation Accidents

    I purchased this book about two weeks ago, As a former pilot I like to learn for other pilot's mistakes. Also I am a avid reader of books on a large range of subjects. I thought the book was well written and was very good at explaining the accidents and there aftermaths. Also explains airline and government responses to the accidents that were investigated. All in all I thought it was a very good book.
