Terror Over The Pacific

Thankfully, there are not as many airline accidents as they used to be, but I'm sure there must still be dozens they could do. Certainly the recent Boeing incidents could be portrayed. I'm curious why they decided to redo an accident they had previously portrayed. And as a previous reviewer said, it is really a slap in the face to the family whose son was killed in this incident is completely ignored. I also wonder if there are legal issues that they could face if they did choose to portray some airline accidents. I remember one that happened when a 747 crashed at Narita airport during the early 80s. I haven't seen that one, though it is true. I have not seen every single episode they have made.

Maybe it's a reflection of how safe air travel is that a series with only 10 episodes per season has to start off with another retelling of a story previously covered.

The update here is that the door that came off had been finally found on the ocean bed and it told a greater story of what had occurred for the tragic event to unfold. You could skip to the last part of the program to see just that if you are familiar with the wider story.

Unfortunately the episode appears to have been made with little budget. There is cheesy acting by a pair in a studio. The whole story of the couple who had lost a son and who doggedly pursued the truth is absent.

Let's hope the rest of the season returns to the high standard we had gotten used to in this enthralling series.
