A German photographer has made [photos of old plane wrecks](http://photoblog.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/07/24/19638784-eerie-plane-wrecks-contain-forgotten-stories-of-survival). He’s self-published a book called [_Happy End_](http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/happy-end-a-photo-book-about-miracles-in-aviation-history). An odd name for a book about plane wrecks? In each of the crashes, all aboard survived. ---

I wish I could take such marvellous photos. He’s truly skilled. ---

Great pics, I wish there was even more detail to the one line written of the story behind each crash. ---

Yeah, the short descriptions are ‘artistic’, but for $50 I want the stories. ---

How many of the pilots said “Oh shit” when they went down? ---

I’ve read the transcript of a guy putting an airliner down on a highway. A telephone pole shears a wing off. He says, “I got it I got it I got it shit.” That has got to suck big time.
