Title: Twilight Sky: Air Disaster at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon by Tim Vasquez ISBN: 0-9706840-1-0 Publisher: Weather Graphics Technologies Pub. Date: 11 October, 2001 Format: Paperback List Price(USD): $14.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.6 (5 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: Disappointing
Comment: It seems like all info displayed was grabbed together from a variety of sources available to the general public, and no real inside information from ATC staff or other insiders. The comparison to MacArthur Job is not adequate as Vasquez merely speculates what might have happened; there is a lack of facts (e.g. altitudes of the planes along the plotted flight cannot be found back anywhere).
Rating: 5
Summary: Detailed, very detailed
Comment: Most of the titles I've seen fall into the category of tributes, remembrances, and anecdotes. I liked this title as it bypasses regurgitated news fodder and lays out the groundwork for what happened on this significant day. The one thing I didn't like about Twilight Sky is that it's a little on the short side, but the incident remains a criminal investigation and very little detail has been officially released. This book fortunately avoids treading into the realm of speculation. Other titles fill that void nicely. Overall, a great purchase given the reasonable price, and a great place to start in trying to understand the aviation threads of what occurred. I have to add the flight maps were quite interesting.

Summary: Twilight Sky
Comment: the book is pamphlet sized, and, even at 60 pages, is filled with standard photographs of airplanes, charts and such...it is an hour's read, and is quite outdated, since it was apparently written only days after the September 11 attacks, when little was known about the hijackers...it would be of little interest to the person seeking an in depth account of the events of September 11...
