Tony Blackman, has written an another amazing story, this time about a very modern twin engined airliner of Worldwide Airways having to ditch, at night, when trying to land on the Caribbean island of St Antony. There were only a few survivors, from the back of the aircraft, and they only escaped thanks to the efforts of the two cabin crew. The aircraft had had an engine failure in the middle of the Atlantic and then suddenly lost contact with air traffic control. The UK's Aircraft Accident Investigation Board were asked by St Antony to determine the cause of the accident and discovered that one of the aircraft's crash recorders had been removed. Even worse, the other crash recorder was not working correctly. Peter Talbert, skiing in Australia, was asked by the insurance company to represent their interests. The situation was made even more complicated as a UK drug baron with some of his people were on the aircraft. Peter and one of the hostesses find themselves in the middle of a drug war and the girl was kidnapped. Peter manages to rescue her and at the same time discovers the missing recorder. Gradually, by flying back to the UK and by going to San Francisco and Seattle Peter Peter begins to work out how the crash recorder was lost and why the aircraft had to ditch. Modern airliners are incredibly safe but Tony discusses the risks we all take when flying on two engines for long distances, sometimes well over a 1,000 miles from the nearest airfield. Accidents are very rare indeed but the recent miraculous escape of the twin engined airline crash landing at Heathrow emphasises the issues involved.
