Nice to knw I'm nt alone in this "wierd" progrme. I tot I m d only person dt loves it. Dt's my best, & best, & d best TV prgrme 4 me. I learn a lot from it. Mayb, we shall a thread to discuss d episodes we watched. I love planes badly. At times, I feel I can fly one without going thru d training; just by watching AC investigation. Thanks dear



Tnx Olisa,
That's my favourite TV progrme. I can do without it

But, I disagree wit u concerning your stats. Most crashes are caused by human error - from the ground crew, to the cabin crew error.

@airzzee and Olisa4all
YEAH!!!!
you guys love ACI as much as I do.
very true, about 3/5 of the time it was not pilot error that caused the crash.
one of my favorite shows, and there haven't been any new episodes. it seems i've watched them all.

My first day on a plane was just a normal day, but funny enough i now hate flying cause i experienced turbulence late last year onboard and it stays fresh on my memory everytime i am onboard, i tend to always think negatively and cannot wait for the flight to land, i hope i get over it cause i limit most of my trips just because i dont want to use a flight.

yeah sometimes i do get caught up in "the moment"

My first day on a plane was when I was 10 yrs old leaving from murtala airport to the US via amsterdam. I was expecting an entrance on the ground where I climb on the steps like in the movies, so I was shocked when I was led into a corner that lead me inside a plane. At first, I didn't even know I was on a plane untill take off. I remembered my aunt had made puff puff and she put it in a cooler for us to eat on the plane. Till today, I still don't know what happen to that puff puff. That day was the last time I was in Nigeria and I haven't been back since. I thought airline food was disgusting and I refused to eat anything except tootsie roll candy. There was a white lady that ate everything on her plate spot clean and I kept looking at her like is the food really that good? She was looking at me crazy because everytime they gave me a plate of food, I wouldn't touch it the flight attendant will come back and pick the plate just as it was when the food was given. I was an unaccompany minor with my 2 siblings, so we were on our own and I was the oldest at 10yrs old. I get motion sickness, so by the end of my plane ride, I had thrown up on myself. I remembered they took me in another room to wipe me down. When I got to amsterdam, I didn't understand their english. It was too fast for me. They ask whether I had any weapons in my luggage and since I didn't understand what she was asking I nod my head and said yes. The woman had a concern look on her face untill one nice yoruba man explained what she was saying to me in Yoruba and then I change my answer. They took us to some place where we stay for some hours untill our plane arrived. whew, That was the longest plane ride of my life. I wasn't scared or afraid. I just felt nauseous through out the plane ride especially from amsterdam to the US.

Olisa4all:

l0l,u've redefined d word passion,gues your profile pic sez it all. .Do u wanna bcom a pilot?l0l

yes my profile pic says it all 

i think the angle is around 45? I'm not sure. but it really depends on the type of aircraft
but i think i know someone who can answer that.

THE AMAKA:

well if you people can't remember, write about your first experience that you actually did remember.

CovenantChild:

THE AMAKA:

this thread is really dry.
where are my aviation lovers? 
@Olisa4all & airzzee
what is your favorite episode of ACI? well my favorite episode (i have a lot of favorites) is the Ethiopian Airlines (B767) hijack maybe because there was actually footage of the incident. idk.
but my favorite of all time isn't on ACI, its the documentary called "Crash of the Century" about the KLM (B747) and Pan Am(B747) crash on the runway in the canary islands.
GOSH!!! SO AVOIDABLE, HUMAN ERROR!!!!!! 
(if you haven't seen it, it's a must watch. also on youtube in 9 parts. really sad, made me cry  ) 

Olisa4all:

I've watched so many,i dnt kno which is which anymore,l0l,i dnt think dey hv new episodes(same wiv fbi files)I'l check it out on youtube l8r today. .
My favourite(dunno if its a bad thing or a good thing)is d crash dat ended d career of The Concorde,which to me is d most BEAUTIFUL & d fastest passenger jet(2,140km/h,do u kno "sonic boom" london 2 miami in about 4hrs. .wat caused d crash? a piece of metal on d runway dat fell 4rm another airline(continental). .who got sued?continental airlines,l0l

yeah i remember that one. really sad. and it was a wonderful jet as well.  cool thing is they had actual footage of that incident as well.
i pretty much remember all of them. lol
but the KLM- Pan Am documentary is the best!!
it was basically just series of unfortunate events (some in which, were avoidable) 
Pan Am (which i think stands for Pan American) got a lot of crap. they even had their B747 blown up over Lockerbie Scotland, and other terror threats. sigh. . .
they eventually shut down, for reasons which i don't know
