From the Back Cover

Flying has become the way to travel for millions of people around the world. It's also statistically a safe way to travel. But when things go wrong, the results are monumental and tragic.

Episode 1 - As technology improves minimizing mechanical problems, pilot error emerges as the cause of two out of every three crashes. BLAMING THE PILOT examines the conditions and the personality types that may contribute to pilot error.

Episode 2- Worldwide, weather contributes to one-third of all plane crashes. DEADLY WEATHER examines in-depth the types of weather conditions that cause accidents - from wind shear, to ice, to freak storms.

Episode 3 - What causes planes to go down? Sometimes it's lax maintenance, sometimes it's poor engineering, and sometimes it's a structural problem that's been overlooked. A WING AND A PRAYER uncovers what happens when things go wrong with the planes.

Episode 4 - CRASH DETECTIVES presents never-before-seen footage shot especially for this series. NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) investigators take viewers to the actual crash sight of Florida ValuJet in the Everglades.

Whether you are a fearless frequent flyer or someone who would never step onto a plane, you will be fascinated by this amazing investigation into air travel.

If you are wondering why Aviation Safety is improving as jetliners industry grows fast with the years, Survival in the Sky is the answer! And if you already own the three (book) volumens of "Air Disaster" by Mc Arthur Job, this videos will Illustrate many chapters. I highly recommend Survival in the Sky for any Aviation Fan or Student.

This series is by far the most complete, thorough, and entertaining airline disaster set ever produced. Each video is professionally done, with great footage, awesome interviews with those involved, etc, etc, etc. For those of you who saw this on TLC a few years back, now's your chance. Forget the others..this set is all you need. Trust me.
