Overview

AVIATION DISASTER CHRONICLES BOOK 2 When Safety Is Optional: How Negligence Kills Passengers Aviation's deadliest disasters are rarely mysteries-they're the predictable outcome of known risks, ignored warnings, and cost-cutting decisions. This volume of The Aviation Disaster Chronicles traces five decades of preventable tragedies to show how profit pressures, captured regulators, and organizational amnesia turn fixable flaws into mass-casualty events. Inside you'll find: - Case-driven investigations: Turkish Airlines 981, JAL 123, Alaska 261, American 191, Partnair 394, AeroPeru 603, Gol 1907, Spanair 5022, Charkhi Dadri, Korean Air 801, and the 737 MAX crashes. - The negligence equation: how ""acceptable risk"" calculations-on repairs, maintenance intervals, and software band-aids-produce the same fatal pattern. - Behind the scenes: memos, missed inspections, disabled warnings, counterfeit parts, and shortcuts that spread from one hangar or boardroom to an entire industry. - Accountability gaps: why voluntary compliance fails, how self-certification distorts oversight, and what reforms actually work. - Lessons that stick: practical, system-level fixes that prevent repeats-not cosmetic changes that wait for the next headline. For readers of rigorous true-crime nonfiction, aviation history, and organizational failure analysis, this book offers a clear, unsensational account of how institutions kill-and how they can be forced to stop. Pair it with The Aviation Disaster Chronicles: The Human Element for the complete picture of people, systems, and the high cost of shortcuts.
