"Improves our understanding of this terrible event and suggests changes in the airline industry to safeguard passengers" according to Vicki M.. Rational discourse on the probable cause of the deliberate crash, with details about Lubitz's preoccupation and familiarity with the spot selected as the crash site. Balanced discussion of the need to reform the approach to mental health in pilots in order to protect the public without destroying the careers of pilots. Very readable.
