Produced by the legendary Sunday Times Insight Team, this meticulously researched work chronicles the chain of corporate negligence, regulatory failure, and human error that sent Flight 981 plummeting into a French forest, killing all 346 people aboard. With the precision of seasoned investigative journalists, Paul Eddy, Elaine Potter, and Bruce Page reconstruct every damning decision — from the design flaws in the cargo door latch to the boardroom cover-ups at McDonnell Douglas — painting a searing portrait of an industry that placed profit above passenger safety.\n\nBeyond the immediate tragedy, Destination Disaster stands as a landmark in investigative journalism, arguing with forensic authority that systemic institutional failures, not isolated human error, are the true architects of disaster. The authors' relentless, unsentimental prose holds governments, manufacturers, and regulators accountable in a way that transformed aviation safety standards worldwide. A watershed moment in both journalism and public accountability, this work leaves the reader asking a deeply unsettling question: in the complex machinery of modern technology, who is truly responsible when things go catastrophically wrong?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49161022898395,"sku":"2026200014368-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/75b67e20-7ecd-4ba2-9858-c0d91523012d.png?v=1787189281","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014368-secondhand-destination-disaster","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
