The worlds scarcest plain landings ))))))) Boring Boring what a waste of time. I was looking forward to this program until I started to watch it.... talk about drag it out really ! Bad poor program made all melodramatic !!! and dragging it out, trying to make a program you would say is interesting, dragged out to the point as I have done walked away from it!!! What a shame as it could have been a good program..... but like always channel 5, they go over the top and spoil the programs. Yes another BAD program by Channel 5 !

P L E A S E have the commentator distinguish planes and 'copters CORRECTLY. BOEING AND AIRBUS AIRCRAFT are totally different plus there is not such thing as a C130 HELICOPTER.

This was the most irritating program ever! I love aviation, the stories were interesting but I had to keep checking my sky dish because of the distortion effects they use - It made me feel physically ill

poor program viewing due to intrusive, selfish adverts. This is why youtube leads the market (even with limited ads)

the worst landing was without doubt the lh a320 attempting a landing on ils in 70mph crosswinds though the jet blue situation was severe the pilot always had control of the wing gear and although a fire was inevitable an experienced piot would have it under control.

Good show, but loaded with misinformation, as we know. Too bad reporters don't validate their info. They make it out to be a lot more dangerous as it really is. Most of the landings were pretty much routine emergenices (if you can call them routine), but pretty much a non issue. Rarely is anyone hurt from landing gear mishap, partial gear or gear up. And engine out landing is also pretty easy, especially in an overpowered 757, but it's the training that makes it easy. The only really scary landing was Sully's landing in the Hudson... now that was a real feat of expert airmanship. Too bad he wasn't in a Boeing, it would have not happened. But it was an interesting program.

EPIC FAIL!!! of a documentary. Inaccurate information throughout! Quote, "AC130 Hercules helicopter". Are these researchers morons!? Don't take this program seriously. Get a grip Five.

Carrying 140 passengers and six crew, the Airbus A320-232 aircraft departed from Burbank at 3:17 pm PDT (UTC-7). The aircraft, which was built in 2002,[1] bore the tail number N536JB and the name "Canyon Blue". was defo an airbus and not a 737

Tried to report a problem with this video because it NEEDS an epilepsy warning due the the flickering and distorting video effects - didn't get an option to say what the problem was though.

A good Show but most landings were normal procedure and the go arounds/Mayday were to. The JetBlue was a 737 not a A320 and a C130 is not a helicopter. Apart from that i look forward to more aviation based programmes.

Very good landing no doubt, but it is not the greatest. The best BY FAR is 2003 Baghdad DHL!

Airline pilots earn every penny of their pay! I can remember a crew bringing us in to a very bumpy landing in a Thomas Cook 737 at Malaga during a freak hot wind-storm - - Those two young lads looked rather ashen as we left the aircraft ; in the passengers' eyes - they were 'Stars'! - they would certainly have had a good explanation for the amount of lipstick on their cheeks when they got home !

ok ok so they got a few facts wrong admittedly but i expect they dont get the same amount of intensive training a 1st officer and pilot get when learning there trade, as they say if you cant do teach (hhmmm) keep the proffessionals in the air

Yet another aviation programme which talks about "the pilot". When will the media ever learn that there are TWO PILOTS in the flight deck of a modern airliner. Two pilots, one Captain, one First Officer, both working together, making informed decisions as a collective. The media need to work harder with aviation programmes to emphasise the multi-crew operation.

Despite the fact that the documentary got a number of facts wrong, the stories being told are really inspiring, well worth watching and incredible. Watching the documentary, I can almost visualise being there and experiencing these events alongside those who were actually there. Brilliant documentary. Thanks for sharing.

Watching this now I can only echo the criticism of all the glaring and stupid errors already pointed out above. Over-sensationalised and grossly inaccurate airplane information spoiled what would otherwise be a good programme.

Amateur commentary - 1st Aircraft shown was an Airbus A320 NOT a Boeing 737. Concord had 4 engines NOT 2. The C130 is a 4 engined military transport NOT a helicopter. The LOT pilot "had a plan", to land on the aircraft's belly. With the undercarriage failing to extend, this was NOT a plan but an inevitability. Can't be bothered to comment on the other errors. For heavens sake, get someone to write the scripts, who knows what they are talking about.

And anyway, what's so scary about landing at St Maarten (or St Maartens as they wrongly called it in the programme)... it's perfectly fine for those in the plane! It's only those on the beach that need worry...

I take it nobody from Channel 5 actually bothers to read this forum? Well, they didn't bother to do their research properly, so I guess they won't read this. Any chance of an apology Channel 5 for your ineptitude?

Constantly shifting picture (trying to blend in with the amateur footage?) and stupid sound effects ("whoosh", "zeep", "biddleoop") were annoying. I endured it till the end because I wanted to see the Hudson landing again, but I really shouldn't have bothered. I won't be watching the rest of the series.

Who did the research on this programme ? Calling an Airbus A320 a B737 was bad enough, but I thought I had misheard when the narrator said "a Hercules C130 helicopter" and then "Concorde has 2 engines", absolute classic !! Have they never heard of Google ?!!

How much research did you guys do before you made this programme? Making stupid mistakes like getting not only the model but the manufacturer wrong suggests you did no research! Imagine if 5th Gear claimed a BMW 1 series to be a Mercedes S Class, yes, that's how stupid your mistakes are!

whoever wrote the show synopsis needs to watch the show - the Thompson flight ingested a CROW into it's starboard engine (no.2 engine) NOT a Heron. The number of glaring errors in this show and in the write-ups has really spoiled what should have been a very interesting programme. Very disappointing

very annoying, how many things did they get wrong? surely an aviation expert could review these programs before irratating the public with an ounce of an idea regarding aircraft types, quantity of engines??? clueless

Why the constant picture distortion and accompanying noise every time there was a change of shot.Over dramatic inacurate, and far too long at 60 mins.

Lazy research, 2 engined Concorde, a B757 with 2x800,000 Horsepower engines (that woudl pull teh wings off), a C130 helicopter, give me strength. Get your facts right or you lack any credibility.

Oh dear, I see the aviation industry bods are exhibiting their usual defensive and aggressive response to any scrutiny of their industry! The camera never lies and what's wrong with being open about these incidents?Surely it informs the industry of ways to avoid repeats and further improve their safety record. Or is it all so hush, hush?

Not to mention the comment about the possibility of the Jet Blue nose wheel collapsing resulting in the nose hitting the runway at 100 mph. Yes, this was a possibility, but with "innevitable fatalities"? Sensationalist rubbish.

I agree, commentary was not well researched at all and seemed to push the sensational side instead of factual. The A320 was not a 737, a C130 Hercules is a large transport aircraft not a helicopter, Concorde has four engines not two...and then the sensationalism; fact...lightning strikes do not affect airliners (they're built to take strikes in their stride), the approach into St Barts is not 'near-vertical', if you read the reports, there was not total panic after the LOT 767 landed, the cabin crew were superb in preparing and fast in evacuating passengers without panic. It's a slight on the LOT crew to say that there was any panic or hysteria. I agree totally with james, the commentary, to me, presents the amateurism of the program makers.

This was the most scary documentry i have seen, jet blue was an A320 not a 737, there is no such aircraft as a C130 Hercules helicopter, the diagrams for the TNT 737 where that of an A320, the reasercher has not done a good job in reaserching aircraft types. you relly do need to get your finger out and get the correct information about what you are making the programme about, AMATURES.

Well done Channel 5 for making people more scared of air travel. Even though it is the safest transport. And well done for getting 2 aircraft names wrong. But after shouting at the tv twice. It was ok.

A few more blunders from your commentator! The Jet Blue aircraft was an A320, not a Boeing 737. And in the 2nd item regarding the Cessna 310, a C130J Hercules is NOT a helicopter, but a very large transport plane. For aviation enthusiasts these mistakes are really annoying! Plus the programme was far too sensationalist. Are you trying to scare people?

Well well, the usual editing rubbish. incident no.9 involving the Cessna 310. 12.26 in the film. The incident was filmed by a Hawaiian C130 Helicopter. Yet to see one. Not the only thing scary about watching this programme.

But all the planes landed safe so where is the danger ? We can all surf YouTube and look for 'scary' landings but cars are far more dangerous and no one gives a damn
