An Exercise In Nonsense

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is more of a docudrama than a documentary. After reading the actual NTSB report on the Sully landing in the Hudson River I have doubts about this "reality" doc. They just went along with the BS that everyone wanting to make him out as a hero repeated. Sully was no hero. Even the NTSB said "nobody wanted to sully Sully". He was a public relations genus. He knew what to do after the accident to prevent his mistakes and rule violations from being emphasized because he was a crash investigator in the Air Force. LaGuardia is surrounded on 3 sides by water. Tis episode leaves out that he could have tried to land at LaGuardia and ditched in the water next to it if he could not make it. 5 out of 7 pilots made it in a simulator. But this makes for more dramatic and PC viewing, they thought.This makes me question the demonizing they have done with some ATC workers, especially women.

I didn't get to see any of the episodes of this great show when it was in it's first run. The episodes I've seen were all in rerun on the National Geographic Channel. This is an amazing well done show. There aren't any well know stars in any of these episodes but the subject matter is so compelling that's a big part of the success. In the cases where there were survivors those people have inserts into the story to elaborate on the telling of the story. These shows are very gripping; you get drawn right into these stories. You find yourself pulling for people literally praying that their character will survive what ever is going to happen. I hope National Geographic will run this who series again on NAT GEO. It's high caliber entertainment.

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.

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.
