The book opens with a photograph of a crashed glider sticking vertically out of a field, with about fifty people looking agape behind the two long wings that hold the plane in this dramatic position. It continues with an incessant parade of twisted metal, upside down vehicles, lifeless bodies and open flames, a collection of extraordinary and everyday accidents across Mexico City from the 1950s to the 2000s.
