{"product_id":"9781588345608","title":"The Flight 981 Disaster","description":"By: Samme Chittum   | Series: Air Disasters \u003chr\u003eOn June 12, 1972, a powerful explosion rocked American Airlines Flight  96 a mere five minutes after its takeoff from Detroit. The explosion  ripped a gaping hole in the bottom of the aircraft and jammed the  hydraulic controls. Miraculously, despite the damage and ensuing chaos,  the pilots were able to land the plane safely. Less than two years  later, on March 3, 1974, a sudden, forceful blowout tore through Turk  Hava Yollari (THY) Flight 981 from Paris to London. THY Flight 981 was  not as lucky as Flight 96; it crashed in a forest in France, and none of  the 346 people onboard survived. What caused the mysterious explosions?  How were they linked? Could they have been prevented? \u003ci\u003eThe Flight 981 Disaster\u003c\/i\u003e addresses these questions and many more, offering a fascinating insiders' look at two dramatic aviation disasters.","brand":"Smithsonian Books","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46425543999715,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781588345608","price":115.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781588345608.jpg?v=1749305166","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/products\/9781588345608","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
