You want some interesting reading? Take a look at these. Some are 'interesting'. Some are downright tragic.

One in particular is of the Alaska Airlines crash of their MD80 a few years back off the coast of Los Angeles, that had a 'frozen jack screw' in the elevator. It is a blow by blow description of the entire "incident". I was very taken when I read it. You look for it yourself.. google the dates then find it and read it. Very tragic. A methodical description of how this plane crashed, right down to cockpit conversations.
