This is a terrific documentary which starts out on the classical model with talking heads, library footage, and crackly cockpit recordings and then piles on the drama with Hollywood-grade re-enactments and a tense orchestral score. Peter Taylor, who practically invented the study of terrorism thirty years ago tells this tense tale. The final scene is so like an action movie that it requires a stunt coordinator. Bleak and gripping stuff.

Here’s a long article about the series by Peter Taylor himself.
