- Ran across this. It looks like a nice little anthology, covering many aspects
- of the DC-10. Probably worth it for the NTSB reports alone ($20 each from
- NTIS). I haven't read the more "thematic" articles, though, and no
- endorsement is meant or implied.

- Back Cover:
-
- "Designed as a textbook for courses in ethics, this book privdes the material
- needed to understand the accidents in which more than 700 people were killed--
- accidents that many believe were the result of unethical actions and inactions
- by individuals, organizations, and government agencies. An introduction to
- ethical analysis and discussions of the ethical responsibilities involved are
- also provided. The case study offers material for a sustained inquiry into
- every level of ethical responsiblity reflecting the rich complexity of actual
- events.
-
- "_The DC-10 Case_ presents these issues through a collection of original and
- published articles, excerpts from official accident reports, congressional
- hearings, and other writings on the DC-10. The authors allow the readers to
- examine the ethical issues of airline safety as they actually occur, taking
- account of the circumstances in which they arise.
-
- "John H. Fielder is is Professor and Douglas Birsch is Assistant Professor of
- Philosophy at Villanova University."
