The Plane Crash

[David]

just seen this advertised, they're going to crash land a passenger jet just to see exactly what would happen, what the chances of survival are and how to survive if you can


documentary following an international team of scientists, experts and elite pilots as they deliberately crash land a 170-seat boeing 727 passenger jet

channel 4, on thursday at 9.

Channel 4 certainly like to bring out very interesting documentaries - will probably watch it/record it :)

[David]

hopefully doesnt turn out to be boring like that ecstasy thing

[the.games]

Well that should prove a interesting watch, although i'm slightly at a loss as to why they want to do this. It'll probably just turn out like a Channel 4 version of Air Crash Investigations if i'm honest.

[Seikou]

oo it sounds quite interesting, will probably watch it.

It was actually Discovery Channel who filmed and organised it. It was done to study how to make air travel safer so they crashed a Boeing 727 on purpose.

I'm always interested in plane crashes etc, I sit here at night researching plane crashes. How sad
Despite being scared to death by planes..

Definitely will record this!

[Jordan]

I love air crash investigation so will probably end up watching this!

When it crashed it made such a satisfying bang. :3

I watched this and really enjoyed it, what were everybody elses thoughts on this?

[Mathew]

Watching this on 4oD right now... 30 minutes in! :D

[:odey:]

I thought it was a bit of a let down other than the actual crash itself in all fairness :(

[Mathew]

Just seen it... very cool indeed!! You could tell how it had been condensed into such simple terms for the television but I do hope they go on to use the data for improvements in flight safety. :)

[Cerys]

I could just have the noise of the crash as my ringtone.
I've watched it three times now. Really love it. :3

It was complete nonsense in all fairness. That data is only relevant to that particular crash. They proved this themselves at the beginning by showing Kegworth, where the guy survived in row 1, then the woman who survived her crash without bracing. It's all dependent on how the plane crashes as to who survives... It was a nice crash, that was about it. A lot of hype if you ask me.

Fairly sure they stated at somepoint that the majority of data is specific to that crash..


All crashes are different – the feedback you’ll receive on your seat choice is based on the analysis and knowledge of our crash experts and relates only to this particular crash.

I ended up choosing comfort over safety in First Class.

As you saw, the fuselage broke away from the main body, along with any first class passengers.

I died :(

I had 85% of surviving as I sat over the wings.

I watched this with my sister who was going on a plane in a few hours ahha.

But I thought it was amazing!
