I know the video was not fake

WOW.... Your making me dust off some of the cob webs in my brain for
that one.

I've seen the video and if my feeble memory is correct it was on a
TV program some years ago.

It was on either Discovery Wings or the History Channel about a year ago.

don't know much more than that, but I think your recollection was pretty
clear. You might try one of their webs sites. I'm thinking I saw it on
Wings, shorty before they switched to the Military Channel.

It was on a year ago? Wow - they recycle.

Yeh, there were several newsreel air crashes as well which I've yet to
see anywhere since then. One was apparently a piston engine bomber
similar to a stratoliner flying straight and level into a mountain. I
think it was destructive testing for some kind of thing.

I hoped to find some of this footage on youtube, google video or one of
the gross websites - without much luck.


Yes indeed, they recycle a lot of that stuff every year or so, especially if
it's good. They have one on the development of the first helicopters
featuring a lot of priceless footage of Sikorsky's and Arther Young's early
efforts. It comes around a couple of times a years or so

You might contact the Discovery Channel. Maybe they could suggest their
sources, or perhaps sell copies of the episode you are interested in.
