In the high-altitude world of "Airframe," Michael Crichton weaves a turbulent tale that plummets readers into the heart of an aviation mystery. When TransPacific Flight 545 makes a distress call requesting an unprecedented number of ambulances, the world braces for the worst. What greets the rescue workers on the runway is a scene of utter devastation—ninety-four injured, three dead, and an airplane interior obliterated. The question that echoes louder than the roar of jet engines: What happened on board Flight TPA 545? As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that the truth is ensnared in a complex web of corporate greed, media sensationalism, and the relentless pursuit of safety in the skies. Crichton masterfully pilots readers through a storm of suspense, technical precision, and ethical dilemmas, challenging our perceptions of technology and human error. "Airframe" is not just a journey through the mechanics of a disaster, but a gripping exploration of the human factors that shape our trust in the machines that carry us through the clouds.
