    Just started. Looks like a terrible dailymail style programme so far. 'How safe are we in the sky?'looks like a great show :-P

    Was better than I thought it would be....not too sensationalist and the video footage was good to see of the incidents. Qantas A380 pilot account was good and I'm still amazed at the miracle of the BA B777 crash landing in Heathrow.

    The promo seriously put me off, looked like Daily Mail grade sensationalism.

    Did anyone else think the woman interviewed from the jetblue flight was annoyingly over dramatic!?
    Overall the programme was not to bad! I enjoyed it !

    I actually thought the male passenger on the same flight was even more dramatic.

    Having said that I can think of few more surreal situations than sitting back and relaxing shortly after take off while watching the news on the in-flight TV only to discover that the aircraft you're on is the news.


    I thought the presenter was a tad over the top in places, especially during the lab tests and can see where the Daily Mail connection was made, but overall it was an interesting programme.

    Didn't see the programme but I remember the incident....was this the California lady saying how she thought she was going to die as "the flight attendants were repeating a mantra..." muppet. The emergency landing brief would have explained what that was.

    Just catching a repeat of this and it's not great, although it had an interesting segment where they scanned brain function of people overly focussed on one task, showing the tunnel-vision element.

    Doh! Copped that after the end of it and forgot to edit post.
    Still, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
