Book Description
Pilots and aviation enthusiasts will be captivated by the intriguing investigation of popular myths surrounding the field of aviation safety in Murder in a 172. John A. Shewmaker, DO, uses actual narratives from National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigations of Cessna 172 crashes to debunk commonly held understandings of plane crash fatalities-particularly the belief that few fatalities have underlying medical causes. Shewmaker destroys the myth that very few fatal general aviation accidents have medical causes, exploring over 200 fatal events in the most widespread general aviation class of airframe, the Cessna 172. Drawing from his extensive experience as one of the country's busiest aviation examiners, Shewmaker delves into NTSB case studies, interpreting what the reports actually state-and perhaps more importantly-what the narratives fail to address. Shewmaker demonstrates how many self-styled aviation safety experts continue to misrepresent accident safety data, generating a false narrative about how and why aviation accidents occur, and ultimately doing a terrible disservice to the aviation community-and dishonoring the memories of those who have died doing what they loved.

Languages : en
Pages : 359

Book Description
In recent years, there has been a surge in school shootings, workplace homicides, hate violence, and deadly terrorist attacks in the United States. This has resulted in a greater focus on homicidal behavior, its antecedents, ways to recognize warning signs of at-risk victims and offenders, and preventive measures. It has also led to increased efforts by lawmakers to create and pass tough crime legislation as well as improved federal, state, and local law enforcement response to murder and other violent crimes. The Dynamics of Murder: Kill or Be Killed is a multifaceted probe of murder offenses, offenders, victims, and characteristics of homicide in American society. This book breaks new ground in homicide studies by examining issues generally ignored or neglected among researchers. Topics include murders occurring in the workplace and in schools, those perpetrated by gangs and terrorists, those incited by bias, and intimate and intrafamilial murders. The book discusses sexual killers, serial and mass murderers, and suicide. It also examines psychological and sociological theories on murder and violence, as well as the increasing role the Internet plays in these crimes. Case studies of actual murderers are included, including serial killers Gerald and Charlene Gallego, mass murderer Byran Koji Uyesugi, the murder/suicide case of Sahel Kazemi, and the intrafamilial murders committed by Charles Stuart and Sarah Marie Johnson. A comprehensive exploration of the crime of murder in American society, this fascinating study is an essential resource for researchers, criminologists, and other professionals in a wide range of disciplines.

Book Description
Serial killers, mass murderers, spree killers, outlaws, and real-life homicidal maniacs have long held a grim fascination for both filmmakers and viewers. Since the 1970s, hundreds of films and television movies have been made covering killers from Charles Manson to Ted Bundy and the Zodiac Killer creating a uniquely morbid sub-genre within horror and thrillers. This collection of interviews sheds light on 17 filmmakers and screenwriters who tackled this controversial subject while attempting to explore the warped world of infamous killers. The interviews include John McNaughton (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer), Tom Hanson (The Zodiac Killer), David Wickes (Jack the Ripper), Chris Gerolmo (Citizen X), Chuck Parello (The Hillside Stranglers), David Jacobson (Dahmer) and Clive Saunders on his ill-fated experience directing Gacy. Offering candid insights into the creative process behind these movies, the interviews also show the pitfalls and moral controversy the filmmakers had to wrestle with to bring their visions to the screen.

Just Plane Murder

Author: Eric Kendall
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1543497985
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 77

Book Description
After two fatal airplane accidents, investigators find that a flight control system change made by the plane’s manufacturer and concealed from the Federal Aviation Administration, (FAA), caused both accidents. Members of the powerful elite may have conspired to procure FAA airworthiness approval of the unsafe plane that killed more than three hundred people, but they are not investigated by the Department of Justice. A vigilante trial, arranged by those seeking retribution, brings them to account. This fictional account is linked to fact via the air disasters that actually occurred at the same geographical locations. First-hand knowledge of activities that can occur in a plane maker’s workplace guides the fictional development of the story. A related episode of the television series ‘Air Disasters’ entitled ‘Grounded’ provides a lively adjunct to this book and creates food for thought about the degree of transparency being provided by news media.
