The Black Box: All-New Cockpit Voice Recorder Accounts of In-Flight Accidents

Officially called the "cockpit voice recorder", the black box records the final moments of any in-flight accident. First published in 1984, this book has been completely updated to include 28 new incidents occurring between 1978 and 1996, including the 1996 Valujet crash in the Everglades and the ill-fated launch of the space shuttle CHALLENGER.
