Summary: 4 Stars
Great book that's hard to put down. It is too technical at times but still enjoyable to read and there are so many interesting facts to learn about.
Summary of Beyond the Black Box: The Forensics of Airplane Crashes
"A good book that explains how and why airplanes can crash through descriptions of a wide variety of crashes and near-crashes followed by explanations of the science that governed those incidents. The stories of the accidents, and their explanations, read like mysteries; I found myself reading faster to get to the end of the story and find out why things happened the way they did. Bibel clearly has a love for all things aeronautical and that shines through on every page." -- John M. Henshaw, author of Does Measurement Measure Up?
