"Aviation Disasters" did a much better episode on it than Frontline.


The Frontline episode on PBS is 50% teary-eyed emotional testimonials from the victim’s families, interspersed with 25% stock footage and 25% poorly summarized, and in many cases technically incorrect explanation.

The Smithsonian Channel Episode “Ten Steps to Disaster” is far more technically accurate, and also deep dives the technical, business, and regulatory decisions that lead to the disaster.

Thanks for the reference. I'll look at it later. I was pretty disillusioned by Frontline. I always knew they were biased, but thought they made an honest attempt to present the facts.

No more.


John Chidgey has an excellent episode of Causality covering the technicals in great detail.

An interesting part in the documentary specifically about the role of the test pilot indicted starts at 26:40
