World's Worst Disasters in the Air | Desperate Hours | Free Documentary

In this episode of Desperate Hours, we slip the surly bonds of earth to encounter disasters in the air. There have been accidents in the air ever since the time of the Wright brothers and all the improvements in aviation technology since then have lessened but by no means eliminated the dangers of flying. We hope, however, that you are not frantically canceling your next flight after watching this episode. The chance of getting into or anywhere near a plane crash is very low and air travel is considered one of the safest forms of transport. Many more people die in automobile accidents every year, admittedly with the difference that they don’t usually die hundreds at a time. With that sobering thought, we say farewell and fly safely.
