What I loved about this book is how the writer explored each accident and showed us what examples were gained. There were crashes I had never known about, and I didn't have the foggiest idea about how these accidents were all researched to have the option to assemble the pieces back to figure out what occurred and what caused it. Every one of the accidents had its own story to share, and they might have been from awful climate, human blunder, or mechanical disappointments. Now, I understand the reason behind safety in the aircraft. This is an extraordinary book for anyone who loves learning irregular realities or simply cherishes flight.

This book provides a detailed account of each crash, including the events leading up to it, the causes of the crash, and the lessons that were learned. The author does a good job of explaining the complex technical factors that can contribute to plane crashes. He also discusses the human factors, such as pilot error and maintenance problems. I loved that the author is not afraid to be critical of the aviation industry. He points out the mistakes that have been made and the lessons that have not been learned.
