Flight 232: A Story of Disaster and Survival by Laurence Gonzales
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Quite a read on this United Air DC-10 crash landing that I vividly remember--probably mainly from the horrific video that was captured of it by someone just outside the airport fence. Gonzales does a great job of going deep into all that happened surrounding the event--from the pilots in the cockpit, the passengers on the plane & the airline crew, to the rescue crews on the ground. Some deep analysis on the cause of the engine that blew up at 37,000 ft., precipitating the crash landing at the Sioux City Airport. Well-written and engaging. Read on the Kindle; borrowed from the library.
