A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I have watched this show for years and am thrilled to see it return for its 18th season. I'm very proud that it's a Canadian show and have found the graphics and effects excellent for their current time. I find it fascinating (and sometimes heart-breaking), and really like that they make an effort to find any surviving crew and passengers as well as the NTSB (or equivalent), investigators to interview. Love it!

I enjoy this show but this is a rant of things they need to work on. Beware.This show while very insightful, though it is sometimes poorly executed. I'm a big aviation geek (Hoping to get my license soon) and sometimes the episodes really annoy me.1. One thing in every episode is the sounds. The sounds are always the same in every episode no matter if its a Lear 45 or a B737 or a DC10, they sounds are all the same. The sad thing is that even you (Yes the reader) can get very good sounds for very popular aircraft (and sometimes somewhat known aircraft) for around $45-$140, which should definitely be in their budget.2. A pattern which you can spot. You will notice in the team of NTSB (Or who ever else is investigation) you can see that they have a team of ~8 people, but only 2-3 will actually talk, the others will just nod or acknowledge (This is also sometimes with actors which they interview). Another thing is just the narrator always saying the same thing like "How could a start of the art MD-80 crash?"3. In every episode is that the cockpit layout REALLY bothers me. They're flying in a Boeing 767 for example, and the bottom half of the cockpit on each pilot's side is empty. It should be filled with instruments that are used or they need to work on the sizing of the cutouts for their panels. I also noticed they used a Saitek Pro Flight Yoke in the "Deadly Silence", which was a Lear 45, an episode, which REALLY set me off since they should have the budget to at least get a somewhat realistically looking yoke.4. Lastly, is the tiny flaws. These are tiny flaws that get me a bit upset and can EASILY be fixed and can redo the short 4-12 seconds of clip but they don't. Here are some examples On an episode, it was based in ~1980 and the radar had a modern day Windows 7 mouse cursor in the middle of the radar screen. On an episode ~2002, a mouse cursor can be seen on an altitude gauge (I think) for 2 seconds. This could of EASILY been retaped as no one was even talking but it wasn'tThis show is quite good and I enjoy watching but they really need to step their game up in some places.

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.

This is a great show which besides some of the mediocre re-enacting, is almost perfectly presented. I only have a couple real complaints about it. If anything I wish that "ACI" covered even more about the investigations as they can sometimes go on for years. I would think that being a NTSB investigator would be an amazing job although it's sad it has to come to that. It must be very rewarding for those trying to figure out what went wrong & explaining to those who both survived, & to those that have lost loved ones exactly what happened. This is one of those shows that has stories that are absolutely astounding that cannot be made up, otherwise you wouldn't believe it. (The pilot outside, Air France hostages, Hawaiian airlines losing their top, the mid-air collision etc.) I would hate to wish for more accidents to happen, but unfortunately that is the only way for us to learn about them and make them safer. I know it's all about money, but why every system doesn't have at least 1 redundancy (2 for the major systems such as the hydraulics) built in, is beyond me. You can't put a price on these people yet we do it every day. Anyway love this show & for anybody trying to expand their knowledge as well as being entertained, this is the show for you.
