That's a Discovery Channel screening, but I had most of the series (including that episode) on VHS from its original Channel 4 broadcast in 1996. (17 years old, the guitarist in an indie band and still a closet nerd...

Interview with ex-Lufthansa safety pilot, which draws the battle lines.
Yeah, Heino Caesar. The problem was that he drew the battle lines without fully understanding what it was he was fighting. His interview in the accompanying book goes into more detail, and it seems most of his information came from inaccurate contemporary news articles and taking Bernard Ziegler at face value. As such a lot of the misconceptions about the Airbus systems that percolated into the piloting community come from him.
