Emergency : Crisis on the Flight Deck - Stewart Stanley - 1999

DESCRIPTION

264 pages. Covers have no creasing. Edges of covers have superficial wear. Spine has minimal reading creases. Edges of pages are lightly browned. "Emergency" is a collection of true stories about flights in civil airliners and smaller aircraft where disaster and massive loss life seems imminent. Yet each situation is concluded without a single death thanks to the skill of the pilots and their crews whose bravery and resourcefulness have earned them well-deserved commendations. Using transcripts of actual flight deck conversations and communications with the ground to confer immediacy as well as authenticity, the author relates the tale of the Boeing 747 engulfed in a strange luminescence, whose four engines unaccountably flare then fail one after the other, causing the aircraft to glide towards a shark-infested ocean and the DC-10 whose cargo door blows out causing explosive decompression and a jammed rudder, leaving a stewardess clinging to the edge of a hole thousands of feet above earth.
