I really love reading NTSB and Coast Guard break-downs... a lot of very interesting engineering!


The Air Force and Navy aviation also usually release public reports outside of internal investigations and/or court-martials on their mishaps.


Pretty neat how you’ve become so good at summarizing what looks stupendously opaque to me.


Thanks.

If a publisher was so inclined, I have like 20 or so of these breakdowns that I would like to put into a (<75pg) book. The goal would be 1-3 page distillations of events for broad appeal. 1 page for the introduction and impact of the event, 1-2 pages for summarization and conceptual distillation.

The goal is a somewhat reductive but sharply results-focused perspective on these events.
