A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

What brought down Flight 40 on December l9, l984? Ice, snow, on both the runway and aircraft, or was it the cargo hold bomb? Experts in the aviation field could not be convinced there was a single contributing cause for the crash. The NTSB investigation of the accident claimed severed elevator cables brought down the aircraft. The cables are connected to moveable control surfaces, such as elevators, ailerons and rudder. Dysfunction of any of them would affect either roll, pitch and yaw attitudes of flight, making it difficult to control and maneuver the aircraft. Remaining aloft for any length of time would be unpredictable
