highly recommend this book. it's a voyeurs delight. i hate people that slow down to stare at accidents on the freeway but couldn't put this down. i guess i'm inconsistent, huh?
These are 2 quite different activities. One is much sicker than the other. One is simple curiousity. The other is an interest in the terror someone was experiencing right before they knew they were gunna die. I guess one could make excuses (like I want to hear the mistakes they made etc.,) but really it's the literary version of watching a dog be burned to death by sickos. Even the term you used is usually reserved for one who gets a sexual pleasure from watching others.


"Whenever possible, MacPherson has added weather notes and descriptions of events in the cockpit and cabin, heightening our vivid sense of being there during the final terrifying moments of a doomed flight. "

That floats ya boat?
