The Captain Dave just passed away last year. The main Flight Attendant, Lara, just turned 73. She flew with United for almost another 20 years. The injured flight attendant has never been on a plane since and the male flight attendant quit and went into another profession.

OH, and I love the Campbells they are a force to be reckoned with, RIP Lee Campbell.

[justlucky]

I applaud the effort of the Campbell parents. We'd all want to know what happened to our children, and we'd all want to do everything possible to ensure that no other families would have to go thru such a tragedy if it could be prevented....especially if it's something quite easily preventable. It took a lot of fortitude for them to see that through.

I absolutely love the parents in the 1st story. They were determined to get to the truth and they didn't stop til they did. Way to go Mom and Dad

I was a Flight Attendant with United at the time of 811's incident and worked with Laura Brentlinger a few years after it happened. On that crew, the 3rd Flight Attendant was Tim Owens. Tim was a Flight Attendant on UAL 232 that crashed trying to land at Sioux City, Having them both on my flight and having them share their experiences was both an honor and extremely educational.

The Campbells, who lost their son in the cargo door incident are totally badass. To have done their own investigation in parallel to the NTSB's is absolutely incredible. They must be super intelligent to have accomplished that feat and be right! They shouldn't have had to force the issue just in search of the truth.
Either way, they seem like totally exceptionally cool people, and it blows that they had to lose their son in a horrible accident like this.

[Vahlee-A]

I like the complete lack of music in the first episode. Gives me the capacity to just understand and appreciate the show.

[ganzyjam]

I got to tell you that vacationing aviation lawyer on flight 811 who hadn't had a vacation in 5 years.
To experience what unfolded right in front of him must have been a living real life nightmare. I enjoyed the way Bruce told his story.

[nysockexchange]

You'd expect a few lawyers to be on-board an accident flight but an AVIATION LAWYER?!? Airline's nightmare scenario.

[barryvincentredmond]

That episode about the United 747 incident was so very well done.The most impressive part was the dedication, tenacity, and unswerving resolve to expose the truth by the Campbells after the death of their son.Profits versus safety is certainly food for thought.

“Cost of doing business.”

*Modern society in a nutshell.*

[kimberlysamuel]

I love how the father was proactive, assertive, dedicated, knowledgeable and used his abilities out of love for his son to research and expose the means of their son's death. This is family as it should be, They kept drawing attention and forcing the issue.

[Tenpete]

We give a lot of props (pun intended) to the pilots and crew, but every time I watch that second episode, I'm impressed with the actors portraying the pilots. I know the first officer has been in quite a few other things, but this episode makes me feel like I'm in a real commercial plane cockpit with two pilots who know eachother and are getting nervous. Truly subtle and great acting!

[deloreshickman]

Much more detailed and informative than other documentaries about these incidents.

I flew on a 747 in the 90’s. Prior to takeoff, they couldn’t close the cargo door. I heard a lot of noise up in 1st class & I asked the flight attendant what going on. She said “the cargo door is stuck open & they are welding it closed “. This took about an hour. In flight we hit severe turbulence & I asked the flight attendant “what happens if that cargo door opens?”. She said “don’t worry, we’ll gradually decompress “!

[virginiaoliva]

God bless the captain his experience and cool demeanor saved the day!!!!Love him!

[richcarrCCC]

The CAMPBELLS, there aren't enough words to describe them or their effect, on passengers, airlines, crews, bureaucracy, government, all the viewers of this video, those who are aware of their story & THEIR SON LEE, and THE WORLD, not just from their efforts but from their determination and dedication to their lost son and their mission to uncover the truth and to SAVE LIVES.
THE CAMPBELL''S ARE HEROES, rare, remarkable, amazing HEROES.

[misty]

AA FLT 1420, NTSB blamed it all on the pilot. His widow sued the airport and won!
She blamed a shorter than required safety area at the end of the runway and construction of safety lights on rigid riggings near the end of the runway for the 11 deaths.
Seems the airport didn't follow required safety rules.

I was in an emergency, bird strike took out two engines on our plane in 1980.. We did make a perfect landing. I never flew again. The young man who died, his father is obvoiusly an engineer. I feel bad for his parents, reliving the moment he was sucked out of the plane. I hope they find peace.
