Mayday, also known as
Air Crash Investigation(s) in Australia, South Africa, United Kingdom, Asia and some European countries, and
Air Emergency and
Air Disasters in the United States, is a Canadian
documentary television program produced by
Cineflix investigating
air crashes, near-crashes,
hijackings,
bombings and other
disasters.
Mayday uses
re-enactments and
computer-generated imagery to reconstruct for its audiences the sequence of events leading up to each disaster. In addition, aviation experts, retired pilots and crash investigators are
interviewed explaining how these
emergencies came about, how they were investigated and how they could have been prevented.
