This is the first of these shows that I've watched. Gripping story - but I think it could have been better had they provided more discussion on what mistakes were made and what would have been better choices. Perhaps a couple of minutes of "Lessons Learned". With %30 of the hour devoted to commercials and redundant lead-in video, surely they could allocate a couple of minutes for educational purposes?

I didnt think education made good television anymore.

If they lived/survived would they be classed as mistakes? It was probably in the contract to be able to tell the story that those who survived wouldnt look stupid, after all because they did survive aren't they classed as experts now <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I didn't see it but I can bet its like the rest of the c&^p on TV these days.

A. No one on TV seems to care how stupid they look.
B. Stupid decisions are usually what gets people into bad situations.
C. Maybe they didn't learn anything.
