Informative & Entertaining plane crash stories

I have been following/listening to Hard Landings for several years now, and still look forward to new episodes on Tuesdays. The 3 hosts each bring a different aspect to the stories they share. Nick is quite in-the-know as aviation goes (and his laugh is great), while Christi keeps things on track and does an amazing job explaining engineering issues. Miranda pulls no punches when it comes to expressing her thoughts on a situation, and making everyone laugh during her outbursts. All together, the research is quite good, the banter amusing and the pace has you wishing for more, even though the shows are each generally over 1 hour long.
