Richard Quest on MH370

It's hard to believe it's been 2 years since MH370 disappeared.    I've followed the story as lead after lead seemingly came up empty.  How such a large (and historically safe) modern jetliner could go missing without a trace is beyond my comprehension.

If you watched CNN in the days and weeks following the tragedy, than you know Richard Quest.  He's been a CNN reporter (primarily on aviation and business subjects) for many years yet received a lot of attention during the MH370 incident as he coincidently flown (for a CNN piece) with MH370's first officer just a couple of weeks prior to the incident.

I've long admired his reporting and thought he did an excellent job helping to anchor the CNN coverage of MH370.  He did more than just fill time as many of the other anchors did.


Quest is out with a new book on the subject which I just started in London.  I haven't finished the book yet but highly recommend it based on what I've read thus far.  Even if you're even a little interested in the story.  He has an unique perspective given his 25+ years as an aviation journalist and the personal connection to the story having flown with one member of the crew right before the plane went missing.

You can pick up the Kindle version for $13.99, (as I did) hardcover version for $18.39 or Audible audiobook for $23.95.  I'll post additional thoughts when I finish reading.
