Airframe - Michael Crichton
Goodreads summary: "The twin jet plane en
route to Denver from Hong Kong is merely a green radar blip half an hour
off the California coast when the call comes through to air traffic
control:
'Socal Approach, this is TransPacific 545. We have an emergency.' The pilot requests priority clearance to land - then comes the bombshell - he needs forty ambulances on the runway.
But nothing prepares the rescue workers for the carnage they witness when they enter the plane.
Ninety-four passengers are injured. Three dead. The interior cabin virtually destroyed.
What happened on board Flight TPA 545?"
Michael Crichton has once again written a fast paced, exciting novel. Interesting read about the airline industry and how the manufacturers investigate problems and accidents. I think back on some of the flights I have taken and now wonder about the "air worthiness" of those airplanes. But, as was stated in the book, it's safer to fly than to drive one's car.
Great read.
