Five people die in the crash--among them Rossana D'Antonio's brother, pilot Cesare D'Antonio. Suspecting Cesare will be made a scapegoat for the accident, as so often happens to pilots, Rossana decides to leverage her decades of experience as an engineer and set out in search of the truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart memoir, part exposé, \u003ci\u003e26 Seconds \u003c\/i\u003einterweaves Rossana's research regarding other parallel accidents with her own story. Six months after the TACA crash, Captain Sully Sullenberger lands his plane on the Hudson River. Although authorities call his landing a miracle, they also blame him for its necessity. One year after the TACA 390 tragedy, Air France 447 falls from the sky. Again, pilot error. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Rossana digs deeper, she exposes a culture that is too quick to conclude pilot error and an industry that experiences systemic weaknesses, chooses profits over safety, lies to its customers, and is willing to risk lives to get its planes back up in the sky. Ultimately, she uncovers the smoking gun she's been looking for--revealing the truth about TACA 390, exposing aviation cover-ups, and challenging us all to question the very systems we've been told we can trust with our lives.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRossana D'Antonio\u003c\/b\u003e is a licensed engineer with expertise in infrastructure design and emergency management and a strong advocate for infrastructure investments, including the Federal Aviation Authority Reauthorization.
