Open our minds to what? Some scintilating new insight from a journalist,... from television? Sorry, but you have to be kidding.

They will show some amateurish animation made up out of nowhere (because no one has the data) and show it over and over and over as kapoc-filler as the audio drones on about they know not what. This is just another media attempt to grab ratings with a made-up program masquerading as "insight" or "the truth".

I've seen a number of these including one broadcast by the CBC on safety in Canada and it was a complete, utter waste of time because while it soft-pitched the real questions, it provided a platform for a few personal grievances on issues only dimly related to the real, and serious issues.

For those who know aviation, these kinds of programs are a complete waste of viewers' time. For those who like a good, vicarious scare once in a while, they're jam, but don't expect to learn anything.
