This one is extremely hard to watch. These incredible pilots fought for everyone’s lives until the bitter end. They deserved so much better.

This one hits hard. I live on the Ventura coast and remember the day it happened.

Profits and greed for COMPANY survival over HUMAN survival?? Those decision-makers are criminals and why do we accept financial penalties to be sufficient?? A minimum of 20 years of imprisonment for such negligence should be a starter.

WE HAVE A SMALL PROBLEM, the captain says, as he is flying the newest airplane on the market that can't steer, can barely stay in the air, *and a hole in the bottom of it*. I will never be that chill, ever, in my entire life.

The documentary-style narration in the first story may be less exciting, or at least have less polish (the early production values are visibly lower), but it's certainly lucid and easy to follow.

I remember another crash that had partly to do with a pilot getting way too rough on a delicate mechanism. Actually I believe in that case it was the entire cause rather than just an aggravating factor. And it was a training fault.
