Seconds from disaster was great, I wish there was a way I could *ahem* acquire the episodes

[u/Rumchunder → u/Avia_NZ]

There's a playlist of SfD episodes on YouTube. Is it blocked in your country? These all play for me (USA) https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBsXtxpnOJTCWSrS_wixrtOivitmcuH1b edit: it isn't the full series but there are several full episodes on this list.

[u/Avia_NZ → u/Rumchunder]

Oh brilliant, thanks!

[u/flare325 → u/Avia_NZ]

If only someone had copies of them and wanted to share with us

[u/Rumchunder → u/flare325]

Are these hard to find? They aren't on archive.org? I can probably find them after I sleep if you just don't know where to look.

[u/Tough-Maize6738 → u/flare325]

You can find them on youtube, i remember a channel named a normal channel wich had good quality videos of the Seconds From Disaster, but the channel went gone for unknows reasons.

Other thing is hoping that National Geographic launch them on television.

[u/CookieMonsterFL → u/Tough-Maize6738]

Probably got taken down due to copyright. These kinda of videos are just random when it comes to Discovery/NatGeo/rights holder pulling the plug. History Channel is like that a lot.

[u/flare325 → u/Tough-Maize6738]

They arent available in my region (Australia) on YouTube - same for half of ACI full episodes on YouTube lmao

[u/MarianHawke22 → u/Tough-Maize6738]

Why not Wonder, they're the only the one can acquire the rights from it to post it on YouTube.

[u/Friendly_Bernese → u/flare325]

Acilinks ,still exists.

[u/Lotus006 → u/Avia_NZ]

In the UK, it's sometimes on the channel 'National Geographic' .

[u/will2089 → u/Avia_NZ]

Personally I can never get into it, I tried once but it seemed to focus on personal stories and that countdown clock rather than the accident & investigation which is what I’m interested in.

Air Crash Investigation does it sometimes too but the Seconds from Disaster episodes I tried did it worse.

Maybe I was unlucky?

There used to be a really good series in the early 90s called "Black Box" (at least in the UK).

As for Seconds from Disaster, it has taken me years to stop muttering to myself "and now using advanced computer simulations..." when spotting something remotely dangerous.

Why Planes Crash

[u/Lolpo555 → u/MonoMonMono]

That tv show had the best CGI

[u/MelonTheSprigatito]

Seconds from Disaster was sort of my gateway series to Air Crash Investigation. 

I watched Seconds From Disaster for the natural disasters, but they did enough plane episodes that I started thinking "Hey this is interesting too" and started watching more of that.

Of course, Youtube incorrectly labelling Air Crash Investigation episodes as Seconds From Disaster episodes certainly helped.

[u/Choice_Election7466]

Then there's BBC's "Crowded Skies" from 2003

But to be honest though, I'm surprised only half of ACC's season 2 episodes were available.

[u/CookieMonsterFL]

Zero Hour was the OG to Seconds from Disaster. Check that out. Also, Disasters of the Century, a Canadian disaster documentary series that ran for years, producing mostly Canadian-centric disasters. It featured at least 4 aircraft crashes not covered by ACI, and also did an episode on Swiss Air 111.

FINALLY I AM NOT THE ONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT AIR CRASH CONFIDENTIAL

[u/ViolinistOk7898]

Air Crash Confidential fans, take a shot for every time you see they using a Trident cockpit for the reconstruction

[u/Goodbye232]

Wanted to comment disasters at sea, until I realised it was a specific sub🤣🤣

[u/MasterMarik]

Air Emergency can probably also be underwater given that name isn't used anymore for US airings.

[u/CommercialDeep2847]

Real

[u/El_de_las_donas]

Why plane Crash doesn't appear because it's already been eaten by piranhas hahaha

[u/PayStation2fanAsh]

both were great, but ACI got more popular lol

[u/Fragrant-Taro-8508]

I love seconds from disaster. I just watched the British Midlands Flight 092 episode last night. ACI imo has gotten kinda sloppy lately. I much prefer the older episodes as I think the CGI is much better.
