This book is a great insight for those who wonder about aviation. It is a book I hope ALL captains get to read so they know what and what not to do. In this book, there are causes of crashes from hydraulic failure (United 232) to flirting flaws. It teaches a lot, but can also be scary, and I definatly do not recomend it for those people who hate to fly anyway. Also, if you want to know more about the UAL 232 crash, this is you book!
