Thanks for the heads up

[Lezam]

Good call

If you miss it, Discovery tends to rerun these things quite a bit. Right now it's also listed for 2am and Sunday at 11am.

I thought it was a very good show...

[moose135]

It was OK, but for anyone who has followed the story closely, it didn't really reveal much of anything new. And I wish people would stop showing the clip of the Ethiopian 767 crash as an example of an unsuccessful ditching - the pilot was fighting with a hijacker for control at the time, and it was a crash, not a ditching!

[mirrodie]

It was a waste of 60 minutes, really focusing on the human side of it.

In some portrayals, people came off as clowns, in others valiant.

Nothing new about the crash though. And a TON of repetition to fill 60 minutes of air time.
