Why Planes Crash Case Files: 2001-2003

This riveting series goes beyond the news clips and investigates the most harrowing and inexplicable plane crashes from 2001-2003. Appearing for the first time in a bundle, this book contains thirty-three incidents and accidents from the series so far. Please note that this is a compilation of the existing three books and does not include new content.

Every chapter features a detailed walk-through of a real-life air emergency. The author combines official investigation reports and modern media coverage as well as cockpit and ATC transcripts to take the reader through these accidents and near-misses. Why Planes Crash offers an exciting and compelling look at the critical moments which define an aviation accident, explaining both the how and the why of catastrophic accidents in modern times. From disintegrating airliners to in-flight suicide to maintenance shortcuts, the author critically looks into each factor that might have lead to the crash. Her investigations and deep insight aim to make the reader into a witness to the investigation and yet it is comprehensive enough for anyone with no aviation knowledge to understand.
