From the author of the cult classic 'The Black Box', a new collection of air disasters in which survivors tell in their own words how they faced the ultimate crisis.
Here are 14 riveting accounts of air disasters in which survivors tell their stories. Drawn from National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) records, these are unforgettable case studies of total emergency.
Flight attendants, mothers, business travellers, and more, reveal what they thought, felt, and did - from their first awareness of a problem, to preparing for impact, to their efforts to escape and help others. Their stories are interspersed with excerpts from the cockpit voice recorder (the "black box") dramatising the pilots' fight to save the aircraft.
What did these survivors do, consciously or not, to increase their survival odds through darkness, fire, smoke, and debris? How did they handle their fear? This book lets us experience the crisis through the eyes, ears, and emotions of those who were there - a read guaranteed to inspire, intrigue, and inform.
