"Meade and Ronan pull back the curtain on the airline industry and
shine a bright light on the dark corners. Everyone who flies or
cares about someone who flies should read this eye-opening account
of the current state of commercial air travel. What you don't see
can hurt you." Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, retired airline
pilot, consultant, speaker, CBS News Aviation and Safety Expert,
and author of Making a Difference: Stories of Vision and Courage
from America's Leaders and Highest Duty: My Search for What Really
Matters. As with the Air France Flight 447 tragedy, much of the
time air crashes are a confluence of events-a cascade of bad luck,
bad decisions, inappropriate airline company policy, the failure of
aviation regulators, and sometimes insufficient training, or
various combinations of all five. Seconds to Disaster will
demonstrate that part of that bad luck is often aided by the
airline industry's own endless and aggressive pursuit of
bottom-line profit which contributes to a creeping erosion of
safety standards and puts both passenger and crew lives at serious
risk. These revelations are made in the hope that any resulting
debate will contribute to making air travel a safer experience for
both crew and passengers alike. Seconds to Disaster will not only
pose and answer questions as to why accidents happen, but also
offer solutions as to how they can be further prevented. And it
will explore a highly contentious issue: what parts do both the
airline industry and the worldwide watchdog authorities responsible
for governing that industry contribute in playing dice with
passenger lives, through negligence and collusion.
Al igual que en las tragedias del vuelo del Air France 447 o el
Spanair 5022, la mayoria de las veces los accidentes aereos son una
confluencia de eventos -una cascada de mala suerte, malas
decisiones, politicas inapropiadas de las companias aereas, el
fracaso de los reguladores y, algunas veces, falta de
entrenamiento, o una combinacion de todos ellos. Segundos para el
Desastre demuestra que la parte de mala suerte es a menudo ayudada
por la inagotable y agresiva busqueda de beneficio a toda costa de
las aerolineas, que contribuye a la decrepita erosion de los
estandares de seguridad y pone en serio riesgo tanto la vida de los
pasajeros como de las tripulaciones. Estas revelaciones se hacen
con la esperanza de que el debate resultante contribuya a hacer del
transporte aereo una experiencia segura para todos. Segundos para
el Desastre no solo genera y contesta preguntas como por que
ocurren los accidentes, sino que ofrece soluciones a como pueden
ser prevenidos. Y ademas se explora el contencioso asunto de que
partes de la industria aerea y de los reguladores a nivel mundial,
responsables de supervisar a la industria, contribuyen a jugar a
los dados con la vida de los pasajeros, a traves de la negligencia
y la connivencia.
