Product: NOVA: The Deadliest Plane Crash (1974)
Rating: 3.0
A shadow of the original
The Noval presentation is a watered down version of the British release: The Deadliest Plane Crash.Although it uses the same reenactment, much is cut from the original such as:1) The imperiousity of the KLM captain shows why the crew was intimidated from stopping him on take-off. They show him yell at one of the flight attendants when two children were missing from the flight prior to departure from Tenerif and his threats to her.2) How the one survivor off KLM had to sneak off of the plane in order to go with her boyfriend. They would not allow her off.3) The cruise that the Pan Am passengers were booked on and how one survivor said that he returned to the airport at a later date to see the crash site before proceeding to take the cruise that he had missed.4) There was more dialogue in the tower showing their distraction and annoyance at the situation.These are just a few that gave a more rounded picture of this disaster. The entire British release can be found on YouTube but it's broken up in about 8 segments since they only allow a maximum of 10 minutes per segment.
