I just bought this one because it was on sale. I do not recommend it because it is VERY deorganized in all aspects of the video. There are many minutes without explanation, there is not a "script" or something. Sometimes you don't know what they are talking about, and I gopt sick of seeing all the times the same footage without comments nor explanation.

Don't waste your money. It is not worth it.

The video Air Disasters is not bad for the price, however the more serious Aviation Enthusiast will catch the subtle factual errors through out video. There is good footage though, some I have not seen before. If I may reccomend the Survival in the Skies video box set also offered here at Amazon.com as an addition or alternative choice. This video series produced by TLC is rather accurate and very imformative!!

Lots of dramatic images, just watch it muted. The narrative is merely one long whine, and more often than not misstates details. Shows numerous clips with no explanation or description given. VERY short on details, long on opinion.

A very good video concerning the clips, including military and air shows. I was pleased to see even the current prototypes like the F-22 and the Grippen, which all seemed to have some trouble.
Seeing as most air enthusiasts understand to some extent the causes of air accidents I was pleased to see the actuel errors and causes that make air accidents so terrifying.

I would suggest this video as it shows a great extent of current planes and also the price is very appealing.

There is some footage in this tape that will boggle your mind. While it does not have blood and bodies, some of the crashes and collissions will have you ducking in your seat!

This is a good movie with a lot of facts. It is up to date with the early 90's crashes.

This tape was somewhat bothersome but also intriging. I was somewhat skeptic about the narrator telling you only 3 people died in a crash but upon looking at it.. you wonder how anyone survived. I'm giving this 4 stars because of the footage. I don't mean to sound morbid but one thing about VHS is that you can rewind and watch again and again. Also..it brought a smile to my face when it showed the true skill of a pilot..when in trouble.. made a safe landing :) This is not a blood and gut VHS but if you want to see some incredble footage (I'm not going to say crash) espescially at airshows you will like this VHS
