Can't Stop Watching This One!
This is a fully intact NOVA video; one that is presented exactly as it was broadcast. It includes the introductory sequence preceding the series title and the (mercifully brief) presentation of the underwriters. As far as I can tell anyway, not one bit of the original program is missing as is often the case with other prerecorded NOVA videos. The picture quality for a VHS tape is excellent as is the sound. This is a good candidate for re-release on DVD with supplemental features. <

>As far as the program itself, it is enjoyable for anyone interested in aviation, geology, meteorology, forensic medicine, or a good mystery. If you like all, you'll love this program. The haunting piano accompaniment along with the marvelously smooth narrating voice of actor David Ogden Stiers keep you glued to the screen as you are presented with the story of how, in 1947 in South America, a commercial airliner on what should have been a routine flight suddenly disappeared without a trace. For over 50 years, no one knew what could have happened to the aircraft and its passengers and crew, though there were those who wanted to believe it was an alien abduction since there seemed to be no other explanation. Then in 1998, some mountain climbers stumbled onto pieces of wreckage and body parts high in the Andes mountains. The subsequent investigation and survey of the crash site slowly revealed what really happened based on the evidence found and the scientific knowledge accumulated since the time of the accident. Only the true meaning of the last radio transmission from the aircraft remains an unsolved mystery. But as NOVA so successfully demonstrates so often, finding the truth in a rational manner is so much more fascinating than any speculation involving extraterrestrial or other supernatural phenomenon.
