I have already saw it, must say it's totally disappointing.

 

 

At some point Mythbusters ask if in a situation where pilots are unable to fly the aircraft it could be landed by a passenger, instructor says: "There is no need, we would do it from ground".

#####??!!

For those in the UK interested in seeing it, it looks like the same programme is being played on Discovery at 8:00am UK time on Saturday 29th September.

Interesting, Adam crashed in a field after a massive stall and Jamie crashed at the airport but at least he found the airport. Entertaining.

Flight attendant Karen Black in 'Airport' was out of comms but could still fly a 747 through the mountains..;)

Anybody notice that the flaps are down while it's climbing desperately over the mountain? (see @4:05 on)

Yes, I was just going to comment on the flaps position. How stupid! Also, why was the a/c banking left to steer directly towards the highest peak instead of banking right to steer into the valley?
