Welcome to Litsy!

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*

Yesterday's reading was four hours for #Slaughterthon. Not the best times but been busy this week.

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

12-15 minutes of air....

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.
