Do not watch the movie version of this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_from_the_Sky:_Flight_17...). It's inaccurate and overly dramatic.



It would be interesting to find a film version of a real event of which the same cannot be said. The film "U-571" springs to mind, although is most likely an extreme case.


You might want to watch the documentary series Mayday (also called Air Crash Investigations). They had an episode called "Gimli Glider".
