驚險降落事件

每一天，八萬架飛機在空中穿梭，世界各地有一千萬人乘坐飛機出行。盡管技術愈發成熟先進，飛行日趨安全，緊急事故還是在所難免。本片細數前幾年內最驚險的十大降落事件，利用電腦技術高度還原飛行員和乘客如何在關鍵時刻死里逃生，探討導致事故的原因，其中既有人力尚不能控制的地形、天氣原因，也有人為疏忽錯誤的原因。雖然這些迫降事件都很可怕，所幸全員生還，無人死亡。 Flying remains the safest way to travel, but a 10-year study by Boeing shows that more than half of fatal air crashes happen during approach and landing - eight times more deadly than take-off fatalities. This documentary visits the islands of the Caribbean, home to some of the world's most difficult runways, including St Barts, where the airport is on the side of a hill that gives way to the sea. It also includes interviews with passengers who were on board a flight forced to return to Heathrow after an engine burst into flames.
