Max and Rob do a great job bringing tragic situations to us that happened to somebody else so we can remember what airplanes and Mother Nature can do to us if we slip up, often just for a second or two.

While I generally enjoy this podcast and find it informative, covering new accidents, then the preliminary/interim NSTB reports and then final reports means at some point you’ll be covering a single accident three times, which is unnecessary and adds little in the way of knowledge.
