Times of Terror: Worst Air Disasters (1999)

times of terror:worst air disasters

The program was good,it had lots of information on airplane crashes. March 5, 2006

Terror is a bit of an overstatement...

Granted, I love plane crash video because it is my secret creepy obsession, so almost any footage is pretty okay by me, but this video was terrible. There were mistakes in identifying some of the planes, and really, if I wanted to know about military jets, I'd watch the history channel. Not to sound morbid or anything, but I was hoping for a lot more flaming wreckage. December 30, 2002

No Thanks

Although there were some interesting scenes involving a few disasters, I felt that this DVD was cheaply thrown together and not worth my money. I was also surprised at the amount of mistakes in the DVD, If you buy it, buy it used. Thumbs down. January 6, 2002

Not the best video on air disasters

If you are looking for the definitive word in airline disaster video, while this one has some outstanding footage, try Survival in the Sky, which unfortunately is only available on VHS.

It appears to me as though this production was hastily done. Consequently, this video focused too much on some much older air disasters, and thus an in-depth investigational aspect is lacking. In fact, it only goes in-depth on the TWA 800 disaster, leaving some inadequate voiceover to handle the rest of the footage.

The video even misidentifies a key part of the Air Florida Palm 90 crash into the Potomac River, stating that a policeman jumped into the icy water to save a drowning passenger. In reality, it was a passerby, which in my opinion was a crucial element to the story.

One upside was I thought that the video had more and better footage of some recent crashes than some other videos I have seen.

Worth the [price, but] not much more [than that.] May 23, 2001
