DESCRIPTION:
Was the 1994 crash of the American Eagle flight 4184 the inevitable result of an appalling lack of concern among government and airline officials? This account, by a key player in the subsequent FAA-ordered grounding of all ATR-72 aircraft, probes every aspect of the disaster. The author weaves together technical information culled from aircraft performance experts; FAA, NTSB, AARS, and ALPA findings; the airline and aircraft manufacturer; accident recovery reports; and personal interviews with the victims' families and associates.
"It was a crash that did not have to happen." -- New York Times, February 26, 1995
Well done; couldn't sleep after finishing it. Lloyd H. Golburgh I just read "Unheeded Warning." I was movedsaddened and angered. I read the book in five days and staired at the ceiling the entire night after finishing it. I am sad for the families of those poor ignored people on that plane and am angry at the airline and the government for their reckless disregard of an obvious and preventable danger. Surely the NTSB needs autonomous power to not just investigate, but also to mandate change. Also, our legislators who claim, as usual, to represent us,. "For those who like to make informed decisions when they fly." according to A Customer. I always thought of myself as an informed flyer, but I was surprised to have my inherent trust of the FAA so profoundly shaken by this book.

If ever the souls on this plane had a chance at one last voice, this book is purely it! A very humbling and very well researched book. I couldn't put it down. I give my upmost sympathy to any family having to deal with the sudden loss of loved ones, i do hope they all found closure in some way. Mad "props" to the author who clearly shows he has the guts to stand up for what is right!
