Test Pilot Bill Weaver: Mach 3.18 Break Up of an SR-71 Black Bird is a riveting read.
"Everything seemed to unfold in slow motion. I learned later the time from event onset to catastrophic departure from controlled flight was only 2-3 seconds. Still trying to communicate with Jim, I blacked out, succumbing to extremely high g-forces. Then the SR-71 . . literally . . disintegrated around us."
