Seconds from Disaster

A very good show, but not recent.  I only discovered it a few months ago, but it looks like it's from the 2005 range.  Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the episodes I caught.  They do things like look at disasters and then break them down sometimes to the second to explain what went wrong and how it all happened (minute by minute, or second by second.)  The last show that I saw was a 2 hour special about the sinking of the Titanic.  They also investigated the Hindenburg explosion, and the Concord Airplane crash that destroyed the airline.  It's usually an hour long and runs on channels like the History Channel or National Geographic.  I caught it wherever I could.
It was tastefully done and never cheap or cheesy.  They presented facts and then ask experts to help analyze the information to see if they could figure out what really happened, if that information is in question.  What I really like about the show is it's educational and never exploits what tragedy happened.
A rare show indeed.
