• Aircrash Confidential, Discovery World, 22.00
With each air disaster that occurs a lesson is learnt, and it is because of this that we learn how to build safer planes, evacuate passengers more swiftly and avoid air collisions altogether. This series investigates how and why tragedies still happen today. Learn why, despite repeated warnings, terrorists remain one step ahead of airport security, and how sometimes nothing more than a seating-plan error has saved hundreds of people from being blown up in mid-air. Using personal accounts from survivors, pilots and witnesses, and comments from aviation experts and CGI special effects, each episode will explore how human error can never be entirely eliminated.
