Seeing to survive... According to statistics, one in five people in the world is afraid of flying. At the same time, the plane is considered the safest mode of transport, because you are more likely to die in an accident on the way to the airport than as a result of an accident. That is why every plane crash instantly occupies the front pages of the newspapers, and the conclusions of the commission of investigation become the ground for reviewing and improving aviation security around the world.
“National Geographic” for a short year in a row pleases the inquiring minds of the audience with exceptionally high-quality documentary films on various topics. "Investigations of catastrophes" is an example of a successful series, which has not lost popularity for 15 seasons.
In each of the episodes, the viewer is led from the moment of a specific aviation disaster through the entire process of its investigation and to the conclusions of the commission, and also tells about how international air transportation rules were improved as a result of this event, the design of certain aircraft models, how airlines minimize the risks associated with the human factor, and so on.
Naturally, the series will be interesting, first of all, for fans of civil aviation, but amateurs will find something interesting for themselves in each series. "Investigation of plane crashes" - an excellent example of a quality documentary series!

P.S. Strictly recommended to watch the series in the original, because pearls of Russian voiceover can cause bouts of hysterical laughter in people who know.
