One of my favourite memories of flying Qantas when I was younger was the inflight entertainment.
If memory serves, they were celebrating some sort of milestone like "60 years without a fatal accident" or similar. Quite an impressive feat!
I'm unclear if it was directly related. But the Qantas inflight entertainment system on our flight from Sydney to Los Angeles meanwhile contained about 12 seasons of the National Geographic series "Air Crash Investigation" (Mayday: Air Disasters for Americans)
I will admit that show made an 18 hour slog of a flight significantly more enjoyable
Watching Mayday on flights is one of my favorite things to do for some odd reason.
There's a podcast (that's been on "hiatus" for 6 years) that I used to listen to that would do an air crash segment. The show was called Hello Internet, and I would always try to queue up the air crash episodes for any flights I was on.
One of the hosts recently started a new podcast called Runway 23 that's mostly about air crashes, and his cohost is actually a Qantas pilot.
Lol, I quite like the show and considered watching it. But then thought other passengers on the plane might see it and become a bit unsettled by it.
So last few times I opted for "To Catch A Smuggler". Still flight related but hopefully less unsettling.
That's hilarious. They don't think about "hey, maybe not show this, we might have nervous passengers"?
