My wife and I started watching those crashes a couple weeks ago, we sat for hours and watched them, I didn't realize how many disasters there've been? Those poor, innocent people, sitting there waiting to die, and not a damned thing they could do about it!!
The Flight Channel is my favorite.
I also like Mini Air Crash Invesitgation. the one below is unbelievable.
The different channels report on the same crashes. The one about the death of the Polish resident is awful. The Communist Party guy over-ruled the pilots, and they crashed.
Russian planes used to have the horizon indicator moving opposite from western planes. Pilots switching from one type to the other sometimes crashed.
Greg Feith is good. He's a current or former crash investigator. I once saw someone being interviewed about a crash on one of those shows, and I recognized him as a former local guy. He now works in the airline industry in one way or another.
