About this ebook

Compelling and dramatic insights into crucial moments inside the cockpit.

Discover the most sensational air disasters of recent years. Transcripts of actual black box recordings of conversations between captains, their crew, and air traffic control on the ground reveal the final moments during which life-and-death decisions were made.

In some cases, disaster is averted; in others, the results are fatal. Every one of these real-life stories contains heroism and terror, and shows the sheer professionalism of those involved when under extreme pressure. They enable the reader to get right inside the cockpit and relive what happened, minute-by-minute, second-by-second.

  • Includes Air France Flight 4590, the famous Concorde disaster in July 2000

    Lots of CVR transcripts which pretty much blend into one after a while, so I don't recommend reading more than a couple at a time. Not a bad book, just fairly dull.

    If you like reading the last recordings of doomed aircraft (and it makes for a fascinating read) then this is worthwhile. In some cases tragedy is averted, in others it is not. Some are famous, some hardly known. Each is shown as a transcript and details of what happened according to investigations afterwards is included.
