About this item
The past and future of airline safety--a memoir of successes, crashes, and near-misses--by a former FAA Accident Inspector.Boarding an airplane strikes at least a small sense of fear into most people. Even though we all have heard that the odds of being struck by lightning are greater than the odds of perishing in a plane crash, it still doesnt feel that way. Airplane crashes might be rare, but they do happen, and theyre usually fatal. David Soucie insists that most of these deaths could be prevented. Hes worked in the cockpit, on the hanger floor, within the aviation boardroom, and inside the Washington D.C. beltway. Hes seen death up close and personal--deaths of colleagues and friends that might have been pre-vented if he had approved certain safety measures in the aircrafts they were handling.
