Description

Plane Crash: The Forensics of Aviation Disasters by George Bibel and Robert Hedges is an in-depth analysis of aviation disasters. This collaboration between a mechanical engineering professor and an airline captain offers a unique perspective on the causes of plane crashes, drawing from accident reports, eyewitness accounts, and simple diagrams. The book explores the phases of flight, including takeoff, climb, cruise, approach, and landing, to examine what went wrong in both the cockpit and the aircraft. By combining pilot practicality with engineering expertise, the authors provide a comprehensive understanding of aviation human factors and mechanical failures. Organized around some of the most dramatic plane crashes of the modern age, including Asiana Airlines 214, Air France 447, and Malaysia Airlines 370, Plane Crash offers a captivating look at the science behind these tragic events.
