    Each of those have VERY interesting stories, except for the Aeroflot. It's pretty self-explanitory and I don't see how a full hour can be entertaining on the subject.

    The Egypt and Iran ones are the wildest I think.

    I have all the 'Air Desaster' books and I thought the Aeroflot case was very interesting. I forget which volume its in but it gives a great description of what was going on inside the cockpit and the measures taken after the child did the damage (the kid didn't slam the plane into the earth, the crew tried to regain control). If I had cable I'd watch all of the programs.
