For more than a century, plane crashes have been among the scariest catastrophes imaginable. The toll on human life is devastating. Yet, as this fascinating book reveals, there are some who defy the odds and survive the unsurvivable.

In this riveting collection of true stories from sole survivors, we get an inside look at their harrowing ordeal that changed their lives forever. Inside, you get to meet these amazing people such as:

• The woman who survived the highest fall ever recorded without a parachute, earning her a Guinness World Record • The woman who survived a plane crash in the Amazon and spent 11 days lost in the jungle • The 4-year-old girl was the sole survivor of a plane crash that killed her family and 154 people.

And many others...

We get a glimpse of their life, before and after the accident, explore the possible causes of their plane crash, and dive into the haunting yet fascinating details of the fateful day they fell from the sky.

And as an added bonus, read on and find out how to improve your odds of surviving a similar fate.

Inspired by his own father’s survival story, Oliver Martin Cass is a New Zealand-based author who loves to write and tell compelling and interesting stories of people’s survival journeys.
