Ok, i'm hunting around for some good docus of the Nova/BBC ilk. Any suggestions of what to look for? What's been particularly good?

I've also been catching up on recent episodes of BBC Timewatch via p2p - "The Lost Liner & The Empire's Gold" is recommended.

Also, it's not Nova or BBC but the third season of "Air Crash Investigations" has been outstanding.

"Air Crash Investigations"

oh far out. is this like that one show a few years back where they got some disaster analysis engineering guys to deconstruct whatever happened? I think the previous series dealt with disasters of many ilk, whereas this is more singular.

Yes it is. Each episode covers one specific incident and then digs into the systems/management issues behind it.

The source that just came back online amidst a frenzy of news can hook you up with all three seasons.

thing about frontline is that the shows are usually great but freak the fuck out of me, reminding me of how unstable my own life is or of all the things in the world that i can't do shit about.
