So far, it's the usual Horizon...the occasional good nugget of info from a knowledgable talking head interspersed with lots of archive photos of burning fuselages, crash dummies, nightime reconstructions with suitably ghoulish music etc.

What's more concerning is some of the more fundamental errors/deliberate ommissions - yes, UA232 was an 'engine failure' but much more than that, ditto the Eithiopian ditching 'ran out of fuel' but was much more than that etc. etc.

It seems to neglect what could be considered the main focus on airline safety (like terrorism): prevention over survivability.
