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 Dayglo orange) records the final moments of any inflight accident. Often it provides the only explanation of a crash inevitably, it provides a heartbreaking, secondbysecond account of intense fear tempered by unyielding professionalism.This 1984 Quill title has been completely updated to include twentyeight new incidents occurring between 1978 and 1996. Some are famous, like the 1996 Valujet crash in the Everglades and the illfated 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.
