Objective, Concise, and Haunting
23 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback
Highly recommend this book for anyone interested in well-publicized airplane crashes during the 90s. Authors recreate the accident using NTSB reports in a concise and gripping manner that made me feel like I was in the cockpit. At the end of each report a list of references and additional reading list is given for readers interested in getting more information. Authors are captains at major airlines and NTSB accident investigators.

Great reading
5 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
I really enjoyed reading this detailed account of aviation mishaps. As a former pilot, I am fascinated with the causes of aircraft accidents. It is amazing how even the most experienced pilots can make fatal mistakes. This book on aircraft mishaps gives a very detailed account of each accident and the investigation. The pictures and graphics let you see how the accident happened and how it sometimes could have been avoided. If you like CSI, you would love this book.

TRAPPED IN THE MIDDLE
7 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It is very hard to get an interesting book about aircraft accidents without, at the same time, getting "yellow" in the analysis.
Clearly, the author tried to be serious but the final result is precisely what the title says: A lot of final reports...without further analysis. It should have been interesting having a more general analysis (similar to books by Perrow or Reason) instead of being satisfied with the analysis included in every report.
