"I am a building, but I am more or less than a building. I was conceived during the 1938 World Fair exposition and born in New York City four decades later. I was raised in scaffolding. During my gestation, I grew until I saw people from the north, south, east, west; a compass of my makers in a high-rise nest of people. Later, I was the sum of destructions, as Picasso said, but I began as the sum of constructions. Soon, the first terrorists - birds - flew into me. All of this I remember or know via the IBM1670 - at the time the best computer."
Toth's Airplane Novel is narrated from the vantage point of the South Tower, and it uses the structure of tragedy to elaborate, in five acts, on its own destruction.

Airplane Novel is, without a doubt, the most extraordinary of all books published to date on the destruction by terrorists of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
Dan Newland, international journalist for The New York Times, Newsweek and more
There have been a lot of books about 9/11, but I promise you none like this.
