Interesting to know. I had occasion to read the full transcript of the testimony in the Exxon Valdex hearings for a former employer and it was incredibly interesting. The real people talking about the real event. Makes you look at the thing in a whole different way when you hear the story minus the media "production values."

Air Disasters Season 5, Episode 4 - Air Florida out of DCA. Being a first responder in the WAS area, I know that this event was the impetus that started common fire/EMS communication channels in the WAS area, i.e. DC, Northern Virginia, Montgomery and Prince George's County's, MD.

I have attached a link that includes the fire/EMS communication that day (4 parts) as well as the cockpit audio from that day. https://www.statter911.com/2012/01/1...-learned-more/

(Have a bit of patience working through part 1 - there is also communications for other incidents occurring simultaneously.)

I have actually taken recorded programs like this and watched them on the plane with my iPad, even trying to match plane types (e.g. watch some 737 incident TV while flying on a 737 so I can try to identify plane features and parts).

I do try to place the screen so that others would not be bothered by it, as people definitely seem to think this is weird.

Then I graduated to reading the actual accident reports, which are much better than the TV shows (IMHO) and contain lots of interesting details, photos, analysis, and are available free online in English for any incident anywhere. They are not as boring as I thought they would be.

I feel much safer flying as I have learned more of the general safety culture in aviation and airplane technology.

This is also professionally interesting, as I can leverage the learnings from aviation incidents (e.g. culture, avoiding single points of failure, etc.) to software engineering and information security. Aviation is one of the few fields where failures are well documented and we can learn from them, in many other fields this kind of learning is not shared openly.

I find the narrator's voice quite calming. But that's just me.
