Features: The struggle between the hand of luck and the light of life. Impact, rolling, explosion, darkness, smoke, fire, twisted airplane wreckage—fate chose them to encounter a plane crash, but what else brought them through? What do they want to tell us after surviving the ordeal? In this book, the author selects 15 cases from interviews with survivors of plane crashes conducted by the National Transportation Safety Board of the United States. Passengers recount their thoughts, feelings, and actions taken at the time. What did these survivors consciously or unconsciously do to increase their chances of survival in the darkness, fire, smoke, and twisted wreckage of the airplane? How did they face their fear? Let’s see what they have to say for themselves.
