    • Trivia
      This show is known as Air Disasters in the US and Mayday in Canada but is called Aircrash Investigation in Australia and parts of Europe. The Narrators however are different in the two different versions. You can find more information about the episodes on the IMDB Mayday page than you can here on the Air Disasters page.
    • Alternate versions
      The French-Canadian version, "Danger dans les airs", features actor (and weekend bush pilot) Gaston Lepage as the narrator, but also as the host, appearing on screen before and after the film, and before commercial breaks.

    English Only? Amazing!
    I was introduced to this series on the Smithsonian channel by a friend. Really like it because I enjoy flying & have learned a lot. Never knew English was the language "of the air" with all the manuals, checklists & instruments in English. I have wondered, though, how the multi-national crash investigations are handled, especially when the actual investigator is interviewed with sub-titles because they cannot speak English or are not fluent. I remember the episode of a French Caribbean airline departing Panama and crashing in Venezuela.. I could only imagine how those investigations were handled... English?
