Morbid But Technically Interesting

I've been reading some National Transportation Safety Board aircraft accident briefs on their "Publications" page. These are final reports detailing their findings and conclusions regarding aircraft accidents and any recommendations. I find them interesting not because of some morbid interest in death but more on the technical aspects of what went wrong. NTSB investigators must understand and analyze every single aspect and viewpoint when investigating an accident and determine an unbiased explanation. More importantly, they must come up with recommendations that might prevent a similar accident from occurring. Granted, most of these reports are dry reading but hey, I bought and enjoyed reading The 9/11 Commission Report.
