Summary:
Airframe is about a fictional passenger jet accident, and the investigation and media frenzy that follow. It begins when Chinese operated Trans Pacific Airways Flight 545 suddenly and without warning goes from steady, level cruise flight to “porpoising,” making a series of steep climbs and dives. The passengers are hurled around the cabin like toys, sustaining serious injuries, some of which are fatal. Upon regaining control, the aircraft makes an emergency landing in Los Angeles, and the crew members are quietly spirited out of the country by the airline.
