Fascinating book! In addition to exploring the "knowns" and "unknowns" of recent air disasters, Negroni reaches back to explore Amelia Earhart's disappearance as well as a couple of others in that early era, and she looks at Dag Hammarskjold's tragic crash in 1961. I like her perspective. She's not claiming she knows The Answers to these tragedies, but like a good researcher and journalist she tells us what is known.

One thing that impresses me about Negroni's book is that she's not simply using her considerable authority as a specialist in this field to "nail" bad people in the airline industry or in government oversight panels. She truly understands and values their work and she describes in the book how their committed focus can also lead to blind spots. This is a really helpful book for anyone who cares about this industry.

Not for the faint of heart! This book was recommended to me by a Goodreads friend and by a family member who works on airplane safety as The Book to read about crash investigations. Of course, that means Negroni explains all sorts of things that can go wrong in a flight. Even the opening pages leave me in awe of all those professionals who help to keep planes flying safely.
