HU Ch 5 UK 20.00

[Tomliner]

Billed as The Worlds Scariest Landings.
First of a four part series.Remains to be seen whether it is objective or sensationalist.Any bets? EricT

Watched it for 15 minutes but after the narrator told me about the 'C130 helicopter' and saying that 'the pilot opened the throttle on Concorde's two engines' , I went and cooked dinner. Looked liked youtube sensationalism, but thanks for telling us about it Tomliner!

.....and he identified the JetBlue Airbus as a 737!!!!...

I also wish they wouldn't keep repeating everything. The program could be reduced by 50% if they just showed it once. Otherwise not bad.

Thanks for the HU.

I agree with both comments..The A320/737 cockup occured within the first few minutes which was rather offputting. I would say though that the A320's nose oleo must be really tough to have stood the stresses.EricT

I get annoyed by them repeating everything, they often do on YouTube, very amateurish when they do that

If I've told you once I've told you a thousand times,don't repeat yourself! EricT

And I've told you a million times not to exaggerate

I've watched it. Some of the commentary made me cringe but I could'nt let that get in the way of what was, on the whole, a good documentary.

[Garry Russell]

TBH most programmes of this ilk have an over dramatic sort of dialogue...building ships, bridges tracking the weather.

As you say Eddie, good for the in between the hype bits

Not seen this myself as I have no TV atm, but I've probably seen it all before as most of these programmes are made up from often seen footage.

I can imaging what is was like and would have watched it and probably cringed

I usually do as now and then something new or well worth watching crops up.

Always good for half an eye on the TV while doing something else

I saw and winced at that show, 5 mins of tele blown up to an hour...They used our footage of the TNT 737. I did a presentation of that one when I did my CRM Instructors course and to be honest that incident could have made a decent hour long TV show with the background factors and pilots going from a really poor process of decision making to errors all the way down to EMA, then superb flying and crew co-operation for the final flight to BHX.
They joined a very rare group of crashing the same aircraft twice in the same day!!
I also saw photos of the initial crash landing at EMA which shows the starboard undercarriage on the grass and the track the aircraft was taking....right towards the terminal.....
Shame the show was on the par of a Sun newspaper report
