Lem,

Strongly suggest you navigate the ANSV site for more accurate information.

TV documentaries about crashes or incidents tend to focus on the sensational rather than factual aspects. For example, recent TV documentaries about Alaska 261 (MD-83 horizontal stab loss) and Air Transat 236 (fuel loss over Atlantic) are technically and factually inaccurate (or just plain wrong!). The final reports issued by the NTSB for the former and the GABINETE DE PREVENÇÃO E INVESTIGAÇÃO DE ACIDENTES COM AERONAVES for the latter are both the accurate and official records of the accident/incident.
