In light of the Asiana Flight 241 crash, this is a truly excellent National Geographic documentary on the investigation of the crash of the Turkish Airlines Flight 1951 in Amsterdam four years ago. The circumstances are very similar: training taking place during landing and pilots somehow getting confused by the increasingly complicated automation systems and stalling the plane. In the case of Turkish Airlines, there was a problem with the airplane that was the main culprit and the pilots failed to take manual corrective action in the mix of demanding circumstances. It will be interesting to see what actually happened this time. We will find out in a few years.
