Title: Unrealistic plane crash
Review: An author who is not a pilot should endeavor to find out why planes crash. This particular crash was so absurd as to turn off any interest I might have had in this book at the outset. The author presents that all the instruments fail. Instruments do not all fail at once - they are powered in different ways so that they cannot - and there is redundancy so that pilots are not completely left to the mercy of fate. "We're going in," the pilot says, as though the lack of instruments causes the plane to take a nosedive. The pilot can see nothing in the clouds, but does not feel the need to gain altitude to prevent collision with terrain. Certainly, small planes can and do crash in bad weather, but the scene might have been written so that a reader with knowledge of flying would not be insulted.Two Alone
