26 Seconds

In her compelling memoir and exposé, 26 Seconds, Rossana D'Antonio investigates the tragic crash of TACA Airlines Flight 390, in which her brother, pilot Cesare D’Antonio, lost his life. Drawing on her engineering background and extensive research, D'Antonio explores the aviation industry's tendency to blame pilots while uncovering systemic safety issues and a culture that often prioritizes profits over passenger safety. By linking her brother's accident to other aviation disasters, she challenges listeners to rethink their trust in an industry marked by cover-ups and questionable practices. Ultimately, D'Antonio aims to reveal the truth behind TACA 390 and provoke critical reflection on the systems that govern air travel.
