There is a show on the Smithsonian Channel called "Air Disasters." It Depicts an aviation accident that has happened and then recreates it by using studio and computer enhancements. After the accident is recreated and shown, the moderators then pick apart what went wrong. This brought about many changes in aviation. Some to the planes we fly and some to additional training for the pilots. If you have never seen it, I would recommend watching it at least once. It is unfortunate that so many lives have been lost over the years through so many airline accidents, but they have not died in vane. We have learned something from each accident, which is why air travel is so safe today.
I remember when I was working, we would sometime try to recreate the situation from an accident that had occurred while in the simulator and then see how we would do. It can be over-whelming.
You will need to check your local guide for the time and day when it is on, but it is worthwhile watching. BTW, the Smithsonian Channel has many really good programs on, especially if you like history. I think tonight the story of the Enterprise, which at one time was the U.S.'s largest carrier, is on. So, if we have any Navy guys or ladies here, you may enjoy watching that show.
