Some reader reviews

Waiting...To Happen! “Capt. Kohli focused his book on understanding and explaining the causal factors of the crash, rather than sensationalizing it or assigning blame. He highlighted areas of improvement in hopes of preventing the next accident and for these reasons, it is a privilege to present him with the Brownlow award.” Mr. Jon Beatty, President and CEO, Flight Safety Foundation.

Into Oblivion "'Into Oblivion' is a well written, educational and informative book regarding the disappearance of #MH370. It addresses the facts and sequence of events, explains the technical terms and then gives a methodical overview of the many theories that are swirling around the mystery. 'Into Oblivion' is a thought provoking yet respectful book and highly recommended!" Ms. Jennie Cullen, CreateSpace customer.

"From the very beginning it is apparent there has been extensive research into writing this book. The book covers a lot of ground in human factors, and it does so with a laser focus on one of the most recent accidents in Indian aviation history. This book is a must read for all aviation professionals, enthusiasts, managers, regulators and, above all, bureaucrats. The author also highlights the role of management of safety by aviation operators by telling the story of obscure accidents which are lost in the noise of the bigger ones across the world" - Captain B Thomas - Part 135 Pilot, USA.

"A very interesting book that provides an accurate summary of the events that occurred during the mysterious flight MH370. The author explains important concepts of physics,aviation and communication satellites in a very descriptive way which helps understanding facts from hypothesis created by people and media worldwide. The book shows how much the tabloids and TV news distorted the events for their TRPs and sales. As the title says this tragedy should never be forgotten." Ms. Piedad Salomon, Amazon customer.

Thank you all once again for your support and wishing you a great 2015 ahead!

"Waiting...To Happen!", one year on...

It was on the 22nd of Dec 2013 that I finally finished "Waiting...To Happen!" and submitted the completed files to my publishers. Today, on the first anniversary of this event, I want to thank all my supporters, and the editorial team, who worked as hard as me, to bring this book to print. But most of all, I want to thank all the thousands and thousands of readers who put their faith and trust in me and purchased my book. The book became a success, not because of what I wrote, but because of what you read. No book can be worth anything unless people choose to read it and I am grateful to all my readers for their support to me which they displayed by choosing to read my book, and more importantly, by absorbing its true message and acting on its recommendations.

Thank you all for your support. This book has changed my life and career in ways I could never even have dared to imagine, and this is your success as much as it is mine!

Receiving "Cecil A Brownlow" Publication Award 2014 for "Significant Journalistic Contribution to Aviation Safety" from Mr. Jon Beatty, President and CEO, Flight Safety Foundation.

Some reader reviews "Easy and exciting to read, this book shows how disasters could have been easily avoided if all professionals along the line had fulfilled their duties. It is a must to anyone who has any level of responsibility in a high-risk industry and doesn't want to just wait for disaster to happen." Mr. Cobut Thierry, General Manager AGIP Oil Ecuador. "I really enjoyed the book and your insights to the accidents. I liked your comparison to Dryden Air Ontario. When TC first mandated Human Factors training for Engineers in Canada that accident was a core study case ... What I thought was excellent in the book was that you highlighted both the similarities to the accident causal factors but the differences in the follow up to the event. The compassion of a management system of an airline to soccer team was great. It highlights the “blame the pilot” to the same likeness as blaming the goal tender. Most people can watch a match and see where errors are being made including off of the pitch. Yet with aviation there is still a tendency to blame the pilot. Once again Sam great job." Robert Cavers, Regional Aviation Adviser, Eni Australia Limited. "I found the book of Captain Kohli very interesting, well written and above all extremely useful for everyone involved in safety-critical systems." -Captain Antonio Chialastri, Human Factors Researcher, Italy.  Captain Sam can be contacted at kohlisamir@hotmail.com

Aviation Safety and Passengers Rights: The Next Step 21/22 OCTOBER 2014 Sala della Provincia, Via Corridoni, 3 • Milano Fondazione 8 ottobre 2001, in cooperation with the City of Milan and DEMETRA Centro studi of Rome, organize an international conference on Flight Safety and Assistance for Victims and Their Families after an Air Crash. The attention with which ICAO addressed this topic during the 38th General Assembly and, unfortunately, the disappearance of Flight MH370 and the downing of Flight MH17 clearly show the need for further discussion and debate on this issue. Furthermore that accident added more questions which must be addressed, such as the aircraft tracking methods, FDR and CVR location and recovery, the post crash Emergency procedures and assistance to victims and their families. The conference was planned in response to the need for further discussion and information, starting with an updated presentation of the main international and national laws and regulations. It wants to help identify possible concrete actions in an attempt to formulate new strategies to continuously improve flight safety and increase passengers protection. As you can see this is the only opportunity to find so many high level speakers, all together, in a single event. This event is free of cost. No entrance fee or charge needs to be paid for participation in this event.
