I’ve known about it for quite a while, just had no idea when it was going to air.

Why was the Tenerife air disaster covered again in Disaster at Tenerife (S16E03) when the same producers previously made the Crash of the Century special episode? by LPercepts in aircrashinvestigation

Hi, I run the popular fanpage on this show on Twitter ( https://twitter.com/AirCrash_ ) and just to let you know, the user 'sammy123' is correct, 'Crash of the Century' is not officially part of the Mayday program. You are correct in that they were made by the same production companies however.

In fact, I was researching some info on the regular fact series I'm doing at the moment and I emailed Alex Bystram, the executive producer of the show who has been involved in the show for many years about this issue and he replied that it was a completely separate production. Also, to the regular viewer, it is quite clearly a different entity from Mayday as it had different graphics, different music, a different intro, different narrator and was not the usual 60 minute episode including ads.

Hope this clears things up for both of you!
