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.

"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!
