This was nonfiction, and I don't have a citation for it:
During the 1970s, the Wall Street Journal had an article on the problem of getting reinsurance for Bolivian aircraft. The accident rate was rather high. One detail made this stick in my mind: street signs in La Paz (the capitol) were made of aluminum from wrecked airplanes.
It's the small telling detail which is likely to hook me. Not the only thing, but a major one.
