Indagini ad alta quota

I didn't get to see any of the episodes of this great show when it was in it's first run. The episodes I've seen were all in rerun on the National Geographic Channel. This is an amazing well done show. There aren't any well know stars in any of these episodes but the subject matter is so compelling that's a big part of the success. In the cases where there were survivors those people have inserts into the story to elaborate on the telling of the story. These shows are very gripping; you get drawn right into these stories. You find yourself pulling for people literally praying that their character will survive what ever is going to happen. I hope National Geographic will run this who series again on NAT GEO. It's high caliber entertainment.

I'm an aviation enthusiast and a big fan of this show, presented in Brazil by National Geographic and called "Mayday Desastres Aéreos" (something like "Mayday Air Disasters)".

It's presented in a very easy way to understand so everybody can watch and enjoy it.

One my my favorite episodes is the "Blow Out", that's the first episode of the second season. It's really amazing the pilot survived.

The computer graphics is a must and recreates the aircraft models and situations with accuracy.

The actors dramatization are not bad, but it seems to be overused sometimes.

Real investigations, beautiful shots that reconstruct the events that really happened. Really well done program both for the experts and for the testimonies that speak of the various plane crashes.

16 March 2015. With so many mystery thrillers out there along with reality television, it becomes pretty crowded and nauseating to watch it all. But here comes a docudrama that is firmly rooted in re-creations based on authentic presentation and in doing so, makes this television series among the most engaging and thrilling that the medium of film can offer out there. Each episodes contains documentary like precision with the reenactments carefully following dialogue that captures the reality of the moment making each episode vicariously compelling. The storyline is well explained and executed, the human element well presented along with an emotional connection, and the scientific road to discovery all make this CSI-like experience all the more intriguingly better than fiction. Highly rated for its appealing performances and substantive content that pulls the audience directly into the storm.

I like this series. Being a pilot, I'm aware of when an aviation related program is nonsense or not, and most of the facts presented in this program are fairly accurate. It's a relief that it isn't all nonsense.

The facts seem to be presented in such a way that the average non-pilot can understand what happened.

Seeing this program makes you want to stay home and not travel, although statistically speaking, if one must travel, air travel is the safest way to go, with the exception (in North America) of the train.

One episode you'll want to avoid is 'Blow Out', unless you want a headache. It's an hour of mostly camera shaking, when it is unwarranted.
