How do military jet pilots survive ejection at 500 miles per hour?
What makes the cabin of many modern commercial planes potentially
lethal? What is the most deadly element of a plane crash? How will
past airplane tragedies reduce future fatalities? NOVA offers these
answers and more as it reviews the evolution of aircraft and
passenger safety.
There will always be aircraft accidents. The goal is finding ways to
make them survivable. Re-creations, archival footage, and interviews
are used to bring aviation history to life.
