Harrowing stories of tragedy and triumph are brought to life through official reports, transcripts and interviews with the pilots, air traffic controllers and lucky survivors of history's most terrifying crashes. Widely considered to be the safest form of travel, air transportation is still in its infancy and when midair calamity strikes, the results are often catastrophic. From the cockpit to the cabin, from the control room to the crash scene, we uncover just what went wrong.

A little about me 👋 I am a marketing student in Paris.
I love spending afternoons with friends in a
cafe or a park.
But more than anything else, I love watching (.. binging…)
series on my computer on rainy Sundays or any sunny day for that matter 🙈
I must have watched hundreds of shows by now, from romance to science-fiction series.
Often I like to go back to a show I enjoyed. But I don’t feel like watching it all over
again…
I created this website so myself and others could find the best episodes of our favourite
shows.
As of today, I have about 1,000 shows on the website with votes and rating coming from fans.
Hopefully, you can join me from your sofa and enjoy some nice TV!
