What I'll be interested in is seeing what dynamics and variables are used for the crash.

From the ads it looks like a glide, so maybe a power failure. If it's a glide landing then I reckon a pilot at the controls is likely to do a far better job than a chap with a remote control surely as they would not be able to 'feel' the aircraft.

I could be completely wrong about the above but either way, how many crashes are the same? What can you learn other than a 727 at x ft/min, x knts, onto x surface will do 'this'. Hardly useful, especially seeing as there are bugger all 727's likely to be carrying 270 passengers these days.

Sounds like an excuse for C4 to do something wacky as usual. Hope I'm wrong, I'll certainly be watching!
