The Crash Detectives: Investigating the World's Most Mysterious Air Disasters | Christine Negroni
8 posts | 5 read | 2 reading | 5 to read
The evolution of air safety is rooted in catastrophe. Christine Negroni pulls back the curtain on the people, the places, and the tragedies that have shaped this process over the decades. Patrick Smith, air travel blogger and bestselling author of"Cockpit Confidential" A fascinating exploration of how humans and machines fail leading to air disasters from Amelia Earhart to MH370 and how the lessons learned from these accidents have made flying safer In "The Crash Detectives," veteran aviation journalist and air safety investigator Christine Negroni takes us inside crash investigations from the early days of the jet age to the present, including the search for answers about what happened to the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. As Negroni dissects what happened and why, she explores their common themes and, most important, what has been learned from them to make planes safer. Indeed, as Negroni shows, virtually every aspect of modern pilot training, airline operation, and airplane design has been shaped by lessons learned from disaster. Along the way, she also details some miraculous saves, when quick-thinking pilots averted catastrophe and kept hundreds of people alive. Tying in aviation science, performance psychology, and extensive interviews with pilots, engineers, human factors specialists, crash survivors, and others involved in accidents all over the world, "The Crash Detectives" is an alternately terrifying and inspiring book that might just cure your fear of flying, and will definitely make you a more informed passenger."

I'm a fan of the air crash investigation shows so was looking forward to reading this. Its a really interesting read and features many recognised or infamous crashes through history. I found some of the entries a little shorter then I would have liked but the theories were well worth the read. The book includes a few pictures in the middle and covers lightly through many years of aviation. An interesting read for an fan of these type stories. 3*

Critical of speculation, while being highly speculative. Still a good primer on what happened to MH-370.

Well written and incredibly accessible for a reader without advanced physics. Full of fascinating stories and insights of plane accidents, near misses and problems i loved the final chapter finishing on the positive impact well trained pilots can have. That said as a frequenting flyer there are some facts I wish I had not read (amount of oxygen in a panel face mask and the fact pilots don‘t train for losing engines being just 2!)

When I was about 12 I caused much consternation by selecting the fall of Pan AM 103 from my parents holiday books after I finished mine. My request for the tagged book for Christmas (a #blameitonlitsy selection) has this caused much hilarity this year... it‘s also v good so far

Nebklvr I started that... 7y
Itchyfeetreader @Nebklvr I would recommend reading it through. I really enjoyed 7y

This is an extremely readable, fascinating book about air disasters and near misses. Early on, it focuses heavily on MH-370, but explores many other incidents as well. I don't recommend reading it before an airline flight, but it's not sensationalized and therefore slightly less chilling than I expected.
