Who is going to read the book he recommends at the end -- 9 Minutes, 20 Seconds? A well-written in depth look at a 29 person plane crash and the people involved? Sounds terrifying.
- garduque 8y agoI just ordered it. I fly a ton (as a passenger) and am for some reason fascinated by plane crash stories.
- AceyMan 8y agoI've known about that book but not read it. I have read the full, final NTSB report on the accident. I was the on-duty Flight Control Manager at the time of the incident and received the initial contact (via landline) from FAA. (Due to the specifics of the failure mode the crew did not radio their dispatcher.) Incredibly, within minutes, the accident was already on local broadcast as breaking news while we were still putting together the Go Team. In my current position (DevOps) people have commented how cool I am when important stuff goes off the rails — I usually just say "compared to my previous career, this is nothing."
