Agree about the programme being well balanced.
Not sure if it was bad timing or not as, in a way it was possibly a good thing as it showed that the crew overcame a lot of odds and managed to get a crippled overweight bird on the ground. It wouldn't have taken much for the 747 to end up in the Pacific.
I hadn't heard about the Campbell's separate investigation before the programme. Quite an interesting piece. I missed a few bits of the programme but what was the father's job? Was he an aircraft engineer by trade?
