Final Approach
Have any of you seen episodes of this? I had the flu this weekend and probably watched too much TV. Watched three episodes and think the name if this should be changed.
I watched a group of four guys in a Mooney go down in the Gulf on the way to Baja; didn't get the raft out or didn't have one. (I was flipping back to a football game.).
A Twin Cessna on a charter flight flies over the desert in Africa and loses the left engine. Pilot says no problemo but finds he can't maintain altitude. Crashes in the desert. Two passengers are hurt pretty bad. No ELT, no survival gear, no water, later find they were way off course; so, large rescue effort wasn't successful. Pilot was killed four years later in another flying accident.
Last one, two brothers go hiking through canyons and soon find they won't be able to complete the circular trip before dark; so, they don't turn back: they press on faster. Each gets dunked in the water when it's near freezing; one breaks his leg. The other goes for help and winds up walking through canyons at night with a little head lamp. Finally gets cold, builds a fire falls asleep and wakes up with his clothes on fire. I won't bore you with the rest. Misses an exit from the canyon at night because he can't see and lost or didn't take the map.
I couldn't watch any more. What do you folks think of this program? Is it just me saying: why are you doing things this way?
Best,
Dave
