"Sew another stripe on the arm of Captain Brian Power-Waters as the
Conscience-in-Chief of America's flying industry. In "93 Seconds to
Disaster," the story of the tragic post-9/11 crash of American
Airlines A-300 Airbus flight 587 in Queens, NY, he takes us inside
the cockpit on the fateful morning of November 12, 2001 as the
plane gets caught in bone-jarring wake turbulence from the 747 in
front of it. Stacking up facts, figures, black box transcripts, and
his own profound expertise, Power-Waters criticizes the NTSB for
its rush-to-judgment conclusion that the co-pilot caused the
breakup of the plane. The author cites reports of 'popping noises'
and shedding of plane parts after takeoff, and believes the Airbus
either was not airworthy before takeoff or there was an explosive
device on board. Power-Waters' probe flatly concludes that Airbus
covered up evidence of the extreme sensitivity of the plane's
rudder. He hammers at airlines, accuses the FAA of 'sleeping with
the airlines', and once again tests the air industry's commitment
to safety. "A must read "" --Alex Michelini, former Chief
Investigative Reporter, "New York Daily News" "If you think your
airline captain is trained to recover from any position that the
airplane might encounter, you'd be wrong." --Carl T. Butterworth,
Senior Captain, American Airlines, Ret. Brig. Gen. (ANG)
