Air Crash Investigation on TV!!

Postby Trikenut » Tue Sep 16, 2008 2:35 pm

Hey All,
For the last few months I have been watching a program on Nat Geographic called Air Crash Investigation. !!!!
They take you back to soem of the worst airliner accidents and replay it all to find out what went wrong!
If you're intereseted check out yout "Dish" magazine!
Really great stuff!
Cheers
Nutty!
BTW: Please poll as to if you have watched it! vhpy

BUT also some very senior pilots make stupid mistakes when under pressure, allthough it is dramatised.

I found the most interesting one to be the one where the BA plane was flying between somewhere and AUS??? They Literally got sandblasted to hell flying through volcano dust 100 miles from the volcano and at altitide - restarted engines a few times - was just a very interesting scenario...
