Catastrophic incidents in aviation history are meticulously reenacted, providing insight into what went wrong and if the crashes and near-disasters could have been prevented. Accounts from survivors combine with cockpit recordings and computer images to weave the gripping tales, and expert testimony reveals the hows and whys behind the events, some of which have resulted in important changes to aviation safety and regulations.
People are fairly split on this series, but it finds its audience by sticking to the formula: meticulously reenacting catastrophic aviation incidents, using survivor accounts, cockpit recordings, and expert testimony to explain what went wrong. The story itself gets a decent reception for being gripping and informative, especially regarding safety changes from bodies like the NTSB and FAA. Where it loses people is in the execution; the visuals are passable, but the acting in the reenactments is routinely panned, with performances from Stephen Bogaert as narrator and a long list of supporting actors like Michael Vincent Dagostino and Austin Strugnell getting shredded. It’s a niche watch that works if you’re here for the technical breakdowns, not the drama.
