In an era where air travel is widely regarded as one of the safest modes of transportation, the reality remains that plane crashes still occur—though far less frequently than in the past. Planes Still Crash delves beyond headlines and statistics to reveal the intricate factors that contribute to modern aviation disasters and, crucially, what determines survival when catastrophe strikes. Drawing on five defining case studies, this book provides a thoughtful and evidence-based exploration of mechanical failures, human factors, environmental hazards, and the complex interplay between technology and crew performance.

Designed for adult nonfiction readers who crave a deeper understanding of aviation safety, this book demystifies technical concepts without sacrificing rigor. Readers will learn why crashes happen despite advanced engineering, how emergency procedures save lives, and what passengers can do to become smarter, safer flyers. From cockpit resource management to post-crash survival science, the book offers both a sobering assessment and a hopeful outlook grounded in decades of research and real-world lessons.

Whether you are a frequent traveler, an aviation enthusiast, or a professional seeking clarity on the state of modern air travel safety, Planes Still Crash equips you with the knowledge to navigate fear with reason and prepare for the unexpected with confidence.
