I agree with what has been said about the style of ACI and Seconds From Disaster and I think that the narrator has a lot to do with it, although I guess he doesn't write the script.
Even the continuity announcer on National Geographic Channel seems a bit OTT at times.
@MidlandDeltic - I appreciate that it is a different producer and team etc, but I'm not sure that the link to the production of the planes themselves is all that relevant.
