I know some here were very interested in the sinking of the SS El Faro back in 2015. Well, the Smithsonian Channel's excellent show Disasters At Sea will kick off season 2 with its first episode covering the sinking of the El Faro. I was pretty excited to see this.

If you're lucky enough to have the Smithsonian Channel, it will first air this Sunday, January 5th at 1900.

I love this channel. Air Disasters and Disasters At Sea are two of my favorite shows to watch on TV.

Thank you very interested in this. The bridge transcript was very hard to read.

It looks like season 2 has already aired, I believe on Discovery Canada.

Here is the El Faro episode on YouTube. I got so spoiled from the Karmanator Tube it site that I forgot how to embed the video without it. Here's the link.

ETA: Tube It is back in action!

Given what I do, I've listened and read many an accident report and transcript. But they rarely hit me in the pit of my stomach like this one. Aviation accidents usually happen pretty fast. It's gutting to read and hear a disaster unfolding over the course of hours.

I've watched several of these and the "perfect chain of events" that causes many of these is freaking scary.

Like hitting the lotto in a bad way...
