Book excerpt: Based on hundreds of interviews with industry and aviation experts from around the world, The Final Call is an authoritative, alarming expose of the hazards of commercial flight--from archaic aircraft to pilot error; from bad weather to acts of sabotage; from overcrowded air space to sloppy maintenance; from cost cutting to appalling negligence. And most shocking is the redundant, avoidable nature of nearly every air disaster.
