My favorite air disaster documentarian, Allec Joshua Ibay, recreated last month's SFO taxiway near-miss, complete with real radio traffic. I skipped the scene-setting in the above embed: an inbound pilot mistaking a taxiway, with a bunch of loaded planes on it, for the runway.
I find these quiet, unvarnished real-time recreations far more harrowing than mouthy cable TV dramatics. A sentence of radio chatter likely saved hundreds of lives in what would have been the worst accident in aviation history.
