I'm a frequent flier. With almost a million airline miles to my name, I've never been afraid of flying. But I would be lying if I said that the Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 fiasco doesn't freak me out.What gets me really worked up is the fact that I fly in and out of Kuala Lumpur four times every year! And that's a darn good airport. And Malaysian Airlines is one of the best airlines in the world! MH370 going missing is a jarring reminder about how the worst possible disasters, regardless of whether they are man-made or natural, can take place at any time.As you can imagine, I've made it a top priority to master basic survival skills and prepare for worst case scenarios. Naturally, reading this book by Richard A. Thompson was a no-brainer for me.I found Thompson's attention to detail in this book especially comforting. Far from being vague and too hypothetical, his advice is specific and easily implementable.If you, like me, find yourself unnerved by how a commercial airplane simply disappeared into thin air, you should definitely read this book!
