Remember the target audience!
Brace for Impact was made for those without any knowledge of aviation--the general public.
Having been involved at the production level for smaller but similar projects, I was the one asking the pros for ‘dumbed-down' answers when I felt the language/explanation was over the heads of the viewers. I can assure you that’s what happened here.
At the end of the day, did the audience understand what happened? Were they left with a positive impression of the industry and those in it? IMHO they were. (My petty criticism is that I found the narration overly dramatic. The event itself and related interviews were dramatic enough and didn’t need any boost in that direction.)
