Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a survivors story of the worst aircraft accident in world history. On March 27,1977, two 747's collided on the ground in fog on the island of Tenerife, Canary Islands. The staggering death toll was 544 upon impact with 74 initial survivors. The author was among a subgroup of 14 walking survivors and 1 of 2 photographers that Sunday afternoon. This is his story of survival, recovery and return to flight. Part 2 of the book provides details of improvements to aircraft interior safety. Many of those improvements were the result of an in-flight cabin fire on Air Canada flight 979 in 1983. Non-flammable materials for the interior and stronger seats make a hard landing more survivable. Part 3 of the book discusses runway safety, a very hot topic recently. New technology, ADSB, will greatly improve safety on the ground and replace radar. Controllers and pilots will know where every aircraft is on the ground and in the sky.

Download or read book Untold Until Now written by Karen Brantley and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A generation of men who fought for our freedom looks back at their lives; some with melancholy, some with unforgotten energy, and other with reluctance. World War II means something different to each man who served, yet a common and tightly woven thread binds their attitudes and senses of patriotism. This moving book captures the long-lost era when men were men -- when going to war meant actually engaging the enemy rather than raining bombs on them from above and never actually seeing them. Those stories have something to tell us about lives; the lives of the men interviewed, our own lives and the lives of the millions of people who did not live through another of mankind's follies.
