Few have ever been revealed in their entirety, each, without exception, is absolutely gripping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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 \u003cem\u003ebeing there\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Morrow Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43414060335359,"sku":"9780688158927","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780688158927_s600x595.jpg?v=1779896199","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780688158927","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
