Hi everyone,
My name is Max and I’m a researcher in London currently working on the early development of a documentary TV series for National Geographic, exploring extraordinary aviation incidents—one of which is
TransAir Flight 671, the 1992 emergency landing after a catastrophic engine separation over the Alps discussed here.
I’ve been reading through this thread and just wanted to say how valuable and moving the recollections here have been. The humour, tension, and grit captured in these posts have added an incredible human element to what was already a remarkable story of airmanship and survival.
If anyone here has a connection with any of the crew—or has spoken with them over the years and would feel comfortable sharing further context—I would be incredibly grateful to speak, whether by phone or email. We’re trying to approach the story with as much care and authenticity as possible, and any help in better understanding what happened that day (and who these men were) would mean a great deal.
You can reach me directly at:

Thanks in advance for any leads, memories, or even just your time.
