Description

Although flying is one of the safest forms of transportation, headline-grabbing disasters still occur at frequent intervals. In addition to the most notable civil aviation disasters to occur since the second edition of this book appeared in 1996- including the Valujet DC-9, TWA Flight 800, and the Swissair MD-11-nearly 300 accidents are detailed with dates, locations, operators, aircraft types, and causes if known.. Illustrated throughout with photographs, maps, and diagrams, the book also recounts the technological advances that have been made as a result of the disasters. Cases in which final reports have been released since the previous edition are updated, making this the most current and comprehensive book available on all civil aircraft accidents that have claimed 60 or more lives during the second half of the 20th century.
