I have watched a few of Smithsonian’s “AIR DISASTERS”, and came to the conclusion I will never fly again. Watching those passengers scream all the way down is a little unsettling.

I wasn’t aware there are such videos. Now I’m tempted to watch them. I wonder how many such passengers scream vs those who don’t? And how the flight crew reacts? Kind of morbid curiosity questions though, aren’t they?

There are dozens of episodes in the Smithsonian channel, enacting the various stages in the cockpit, leading up to the crashes. They have actual cockpit recordings, black box data, NTSB interviews, and the findings of the investigations, which is mostly pilot error. For those interested in aviation, pilots etc it is probably very interesting and relevant. Usually, the re-enactments show the pilots attempting to save the planes until the last moment.

Years ago, a good friend lost her husband in an airline crash, she had three young children and just devastated. It was pilot error so she and the kids received a very large settlement from US Air. She said the money will never replace the heartbreak. Recently she watched the reenactment of the crash and was sorry she did.
