    Crash: Coming Soon


    British Channel 4 is deliberately crashing a jet loaded with cameras and sensors.

    Two former US navy pilots will set the plane on autopilot and then parachute out before the plane crashes in the desert.

    The location of the 300 seat jet crash will not be disclosed. This is the latest in sensationalist programming designed for ratings (but masquerading as scientific research.) According to Channel 4, “It’s going to be designed as a survivable crash. There is no point in atomising the plane – we wouldn’t learn anything from it.”

    The plane won’t be occupied but that doesn’t mean there aren’t bloody consequences. Apparently this new series is coming at the cost of axing established thrill-a-minute programming like “wife swap.”
