Discovery Channel Crashes a Boeing 727 For Science Documentary (latimes.com)

Posted by samzenpus on from the crashing-for-ratings dept.

A Boeing 727 passenger jet has been deliberately crash-landed. The pilot ejected just minutes before the collision. The plane was packed with scientific experiments, including crash test dummies. Dozens of cameras recorded the crash from inside the aircraft, on the ground, in chase planes and even on the ejecting pilot's helmet. All of this was done for a feature length documentary to be shown on the Discovery Channel later this year."

    They should have crashed it into a skyscraper. That's all I need to say about that.

    Wait... you have a Ph. D. in what? In bible study? And you want to discuss how horrible science tv shows are?

    Seriously?

    Lol, I was thinking the same thing. PhD in Jesus studies is criticizing "wacky" theories.
