Ghost of Flight 401

Rating:
Summary: Do you believe in ghosts?
Review: Based on a true story about Eastern's Flight 401 that crashed in the Everglades in 1972. The book covers not only technical aspects of an airplane disaster, but also covers the human side. Sightings of the pilot, Captain Bob Loft, and the flight engineer, Don Repo, on planes with recycled parts of the doomed, 401 flight are reported by respected airline crew members as well as passengers. Eastern, of course, denied all. But the author was able to speak with many individuals in the airline industry and came to believe what he was hearing. Whether you believe in the after-life or not, this book raised many questions that there's not always an answer too.

Summary: A spooky story--but that's all, just a story
Review: I just finished watching a tv program called The Others where the episode was based on this incident--it reminded me of reading this book years ago. I have to admit, the book was a real page turner, and I got the willies on a number of occasions. So entertaining it certainly was--but that's about it. I have no doubt that the paranormal activities described in the book are not valid, and are either fabrications or figmants of the imagination.

Summary: The experiences of the ghost pilots of EAL 401.
Review: This is a book about two pilots of a crashed Eastern Airlines flight 401 bound from New York to Miami. The plane crashed in the Everglades because the pilots concentrated on correcting a burned out light bulb (for the landing gear) and disconnected the autopilot, allowing the aircraft to crash land in a swamp.
The plane was the relatively new L-1011. These two pilots survived the crash, only to die of their injuries. EAL used some of the parts of the crashed plane in other airliners. These other L-1011s were subsequently visited by the dead pilots.
The pilots did not haunt the aircraft, but they wanted their presence known. On several occassions, they helped warn of problems and fixed aspects of the aircraft. Both pilots were friendly, but their presence caused emotional disturbances with the flight and cabin crew.
Fuller has written a number of books about the supernatural. I don't know if I believe him on all aspects of his writings. This book had a solid story of the crash, followed by sightings of the ghosts, and then some weird stuff of mediums and communicating with Don Repo through a Ouija board. The last four chapters are hard to believe. Fuller died in 1990, so only he can tell us if all this stuff is really true. John, I await your answer whether all this stuff is true.

Summary: I was supposed to be on that flight`
Review: This real-life supernatural incidint book is about an Eastern Airlines L-1011 crash in the Everglades in the early 70's. All cockpit crew was killed. Leter, two pilots from the crash start showing up on the plane. They often give info on a problem that may occur on the plane, and tells one of the flight crew. Information was gathered about many incidents happening on the Eastern planes. Eventually, enough informatin was gathered to ground the L-1011 Jumbo Jet

Review: Very good book. I read it because I was supposed to be on this flight but for some unexplainable reason my mother (I was 3) decided to leave a day earlier.
