The author of this book mentioned several times how the plane was old and there was only 196 paying passengers, less than half of what a 747 can carry. I think she was disappointed that there wasn't more passengers on board. In another chapter she discussed where people where sitting who sat next to who and what they were eating and what they were thinking or talking about. I could go on and on forever but clearly she hardly did any research. I wanted to give a zero star rating but that selection wasn't available.
