jemmasleeman I have watched this show for years and am thrilled to see it return for its 18th season. I'm very proud that it's a Canadian show and have found the graphics and effects excellent for their current time. I find it fascinating (and sometimes heart-breaking), and really like that they make an effort to find any surviving crew and passengers as well as the NTSB (or equivalent), investigators to interview. Love it!
FlyBySimulations I enjoy this show but this is a rant of things they need to work on. Beware.This show while very insightful, though it is sometimes poorly executed. I'm a big aviation geek (Hoping to get my license soon) and sometimes the episodes really annoy me.1. One thing in every episode is the sounds. The sounds are always the same in every episode no matter if its a Lear 45 or a B737 or a DC10, they sounds are all the same. The sad thing is that even you (Yes the reader) can get very good sounds for very popular aircraft (and sometimes somewhat known aircraft) for around $45-$140, which should definitely be in their budget.2. A pattern which you can spot. You will notice in the team of NTSB (Or who ever else is investigation) you can see that they have a team of ~8 people, but only 2-3 will actually talk, the others will just nod or acknowledge (This is also sometimes with actors which they interview). Another thing is just the narrator always saying the same thing like "How could a start of the art MD-80 crash?"3. In every episode is that the cockpit layout REALLY bothers me. They're flying in a Boeing 767 for example, and the bottom half of the cockpit on each pilot's side is empty. It should be filled with instruments that are used or they need to work on the sizing of the cutouts for their panels. I also noticed they used a Saitek Pro Flight Yoke in the "Deadly Silence", which was a Lear 45, an episode, which REALLY set me off since they should have the budget to at least get a somewhat realistically looking yoke.4. Lastly, is the tiny flaws. These are tiny flaws that get me a bit upset and can EASILY be fixed and can redo the short 4-12 seconds of clip but they don't. Here are some examples On an episode, it was based in ~1980 and the radar had a modern day Windows 7 mouse cursor in the middle of the radar screen. On an episode ~2002, a mouse cursor can be seen on an altitude gauge (I think) for 2 seconds. This could of EASILY been retaped as no one was even talking but it wasn'tThis show is quite good and I enjoy watching but they really need to step their game up in some places.
b_man_hot These Show deals with love action reality emotion its an excellent documentary of planes pilots terrorists etc. Great special effects and writing must watch.I also really like narrator and setting.I also like the acting and the testimony. These is a breathtaking masterpiece brilliant thriller action drama documentary Don't WATCH OTHER TRASH ON TV.MUST SEE. Some problems are its some times very slow but the action and the suspense make up for that. These is very realistic in a way that you can not imagine until you see some parts are cartoon but its very unusual.I can also say that these is better than lot of movies these days. And the stories are to amazing and realistic. Over all These an excellent piece of work.
jacksondzerio Now I'm going to include the episode of Seconds from disaster air crash episode in this preview.I like this series,I never thought that air disaster can be very unique and have so many culprit.This series can developed phobia towards air travel,but I think every episode makes air travel faster.Pilot can learn a lot of thing from this series as some episode reveal that a simple mistake can cause plane to crash.For example pilot who watch this show would know how to react to rudder reversal,a blocked pitot tube scenario,not to use rudder aggressively in wake turbulence and much more.The reenactment of the actor is also good as it shows the passenger and crew turn upside down when the plane is rolling in mid air.And there are so many mistake and culprit that cause plane to crash.Some episode are quite repetitive but others crashes are more difficult to solve.The acting and investigation always keep me interested.The series also get better after season 3 as they focus more on investigating rather than the reenactment and with new intro.I also think that any people who involved in airliner company will be more aware towards aircraft maintenance and pilot will be more aware from making any mistake after watching this show.Overall both ACI and SFD plane crash increase aviation knowledge as well develop a bit of phobia.Worth watching.
