A good read.Well written by one of the foremost authorities .Though it dates back to the 1980s, it was disturbing to see how current the book is.In other words, everything changes and nothing changes!

Great Read!!

This is an excellent book for the aviation enthusiast. I was required to read it for a college class for my aviation degree and have recommended it every since. The book goes into the deregulation of aviation and covering the true factors causing accidents - the human factor.

This one brought out a lot of the situation in our society today. Being in the health care industry, I could name instances of "blind trust" in our health care system, most to the detriment of the patient. Darn good reading.

If you're interested in the science of human factors, this is an invaluable read. John Nance writes a true page-turner, filled with vivid accounts of tragedy in the air and on the ground.

A must read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 29, 2010

This great book shows clearly what happens when greedy managers put money at the top of the list in Airline Business. This became possible because of deregulating the market without thinking of the consequences. Nothing was really prepared at that time, the FAA had no real understanding of what is required once "making money" becomes the main objective in Airline Business. Deregulation in a safety sensitive area always must be accompanied by strict rules and supervision otherwise safety will be "sold out" to maximise profit. The examples show impressively how this happend in the US in the 70/80s. If you take a look at Europe nowadays you can see that history repeats itself. Safety degradation clearly happens and was just overcompensated by the positive development due to better technology and due to the fact that human factor research was increasingly accepted as the most important way to increase safety.
