Guys, I found this russian youtube channel that regularly posts aviation crash footage , most of which I've never seen before ( which is saying a lot since I'm always researching crashes ).

It would be cool if you could check it out to show support.

Today I will ask about the worst episode of Air Crash Investigation in terms of interesting case, but bad coverage, for me, it's Lockerbie Disaster (Pan Am 103), because the episode focuses more on the criminal investigation than the air crash itself, normally we have interviews of some relatives of the victims, but they only mention one important person and the names of the pilots, they were some Syracuse University students onboard PA103, that wasn't mentioned either, a short clip showing the Shanwick Air Traffic Controller trying to contact PA103 after 19:02 is missing too, about the flight recorders, both of them provided a crucial clue in the investigation of flight PA103, the simple fact that the FDR suddenly stopped and the CVR recorded a brief loud noise confirmed that it was not an accident, they mentioned the recovery of the two black boxes, but not the information that they provided to the investigators, the breakup sequence showed on ACI is wrong, another big problem is that the findings of the criminal investigation changed a couple of years ago such as the responsible of the tragedy, after saying all these, I can confirm that another companies made documentaries about Pan Am 103 and they are better, despite of lack of cgi animation. What do you think? Do you know another bad ACI episode when the case was very important, but the ACI coverage is very bad.

So I kind of forgot some aci episodes with background airline mistakes so can you send some to me?

Did the FO really not know where to find the speed tape? Or does that phrase colloquially mean something else for airline pilots?

I'd really love to see Yemenia 626 and Afriqiyah 771 covered. Both crashes resulted in hundreds of deaths and, in some of the most remarkable human interest stories, a sole survivor in each case - a 12-year old girl and a 10-year old boy. And yet ACI has never even alluded to these accidents let alone done episodes on them.

No idea how decisions on what to cover are taken but no idea why these two don't get more attention.

Considering that that specific 747 prototype was also the same plane that operated under flight 85 for Northwest Airlines and had that rudder incident. Considering how notable that incident was, is there any information at the museum about that time in that aircrafts history?

Mine would be aeroflot 821. "What the fuck are we doing?"

Anyone seen a preliminary or final report on JAL516? I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t find it. I expected it to be released by this point?

Has anyone been on D-AIPX before it crashed?

I have been a member of this subreddit for quite some time now, and a family friend who is an ATC introduced me to the YouTube rabbit hole of recovered black boxes. Needless to say I am a sweaty, panicky mess on planes now much to my disdain. This past weekend I had a short 2 hour flight with mild turbulence convinced I was going to die, no one around me seemed disturbed. I’m just wondering if you all can read and listen to these recordings and not feed your anxiety?

I saw someone here asking about the most terrifying/saddest CVR recordings, but let's forget for a moment about the ones that are public and try to think of what the most terrifying unreleased CVR recording would be, based on the official transcript, some that never we have heard, but you have no interest in listening it.

Been wondering about this while waiting for the new season to air. What are the most disturbing things pilots have said before impact?
