Chloe has been one of the best flight incident documentarians for a long time. Her latest, "Cruel False Hope, The Awful Story of the New York Mid-air Collision" reminds me of a PBS production with her Ken Burns style that pleases the ear, the eye, and the intellect. Fans of air disaster productions respect that the scientific investigation is the part that grabs us. The loss of life is tragic, but year after year flying is safer because the examination of every event or incident leads to big changes supported by federal funding. Even if no harm results, incidents are examined. The world usually works together on investigations. Only the most extreme autocracies avoid data sharing. Corporations that cover up mistakes are discovered. It's not a perfect world, but flight is a most amazing science.
