Must see documentaries..

Fire In Babylon on Sky Documentaries or Now TV

Its about the rise of the West Indian Cricket Team - I dont like cricket but this was top entertainment
 
Currently smashing our way through episodes of Air Crash Investigation as we're airborne within days .. no fun whatsoever unless you can petrify yourself into an early grave with the take off, the bit in the middle and the landing.

Last nights episode was a lack of fuel calculi from kilo to pounds on a Vancouver flight where that par excellent pilot Mr Gimli glided the plane down into a disused airfield that was having a drag racing family day out for cannooks and moose's.

After mending the crumpled wreck of Canada air 143 with filler and blowjob it went back into service and was aptly named Gimli's Glider.

We can pre guess most of them now as we have become experts in our chosen field .i.e. rudder issues, pilot error, pulling up in a stall situ etc. etc. and flying into lightening storms or Windshear

Remember .. In a stall u dive the plane you and do not pull back on the stick .. and don't turn off the wrong engine and make sure you extend flaps for take of .. very important and make sure you get enough sleep and don't chat up the flight attendant whilst running sterile cabin checks and under no circumstances alienate or bully the co pilot into submission so as that he doesn't want to tell you anything if your doing stuff wrong and remember at all times you have a live cargo in the back.

That is a horrible story. I watched that one and read about it. Flying over the sea at night is something that unnerves me a bit to be honest. I prefer daytime flights and flying over land.
Agreed..its a horrible watch and pilot error.. it should have never come down
 
The Curse of Von Dutch on Amazon - shit clobber, but some interesting characters and stories around the brand. Well made doc too.
 
Was a good watch but tinged with disappointment with how it ended
I haven't watched the docu, but did they mention the possible connection to that horrible git who killed a young woman and buried her in his garden? Tobin I think he was called.
There was a book once that surmised it might have been him.
