Air Crash Investigation

Recommended Posts

Wow... another reason to stay glued to the TV. Funny thing is that in Singapore, we were not shown the Silk Air MI185 episode from the previous season. I wonder if they will do one on SQ006 in TPE?

 

Huh, why? Because it's a controversial issue? What with the pilot being accused of suicide and all?

I don't see any Air Crash Investigation episode on MI185? Care to clarify? I do recall a documentary on MI185, but I thought it was by Seconds from Disaster or a similarly named programme?

I remember that ACI did show the MI185 incident before. It's a B737 that encountered rudder problem before the plane bank right, row over into a steep dive and crashed, right? There were 2-3 other similar incident also shown on ACI.

Can't we suggest to the producers to produce something on MH 653? It'd be interesting....

Did they produce one for the SQ 747 crash on departure in TPE?

 

Not yet I think, but somehow I thought I saw something similar on Seconds from Disaster.

Why not,i'm always hoping that the 'December 4th incident' will be made into ACI episode,and also the tragic crash of 9M-MGH at TWU back in the 1990s.

 

Not yet I think, but somehow I thought I saw something similar on Seconds from Disaster.

Yes it is,Waiping.There's a episode about the SQ006 incident at TPE on Seconds from Disaster.

 

Aiman,thanks for posting the 'The Plane that Vanished' episode.

Ironically I was watching the United 585/USAir 427 and Eastwind 517 ACI on Astro and the cases looks similar. Somehow this episode was not listing on Wikipedia. :unknw:
