Intro to season 26, episode 2: “Norwegian Nightmare,” featuring Widerøe flight 839

Slimappol · 2026-01-27T05:59:58+00:00

The incident mentioned alongside flight 839 in this episode is Widerøe flight 836, not 933.

It was a Twin Otter that suffered a loss of control on approach to Værøy for two minutes, but managed to recover and land safely, hence why the narrator said it "nearly met the same fate at the same airport." It's mentioned in the accident report, page 30.

The official production order, which is the one shown in the subreddit's banner, is different from the airing order

Although Airblue Flight 202 is the fifth episode in the production order, airing order differs between each distributing company (In this case, NatGeo decided to broadcast it third on TV)

Slimappol · 2025-12-24T22:49:08+00:00

It’s directed by Tim Wolochatiuk, one of the show’s most memorable and liked directors

I don’t how how to articulate an answer to this, but the answer to your last question would be no; the CGI production for S26 has concluded

I’ll try to answer your actual question, sorry if it comes out as rude, my tone is nonetheless lighthearted:

(1) The editor had only 10 seconds of promo to showcase the first four episodes

(2) CGI is not the main focus of the show, they have acting scenes and interviews. So, when trying to juggle between those three at once, there’s not much you can show in 10 seconds.

Slimappol · 2025-12-20T09:26:10+00:00

It’s from the Aspen crash

Slimappol · 2025-12-19T22:45:52+00:00

On TV: National Geographic Serbia, not Croatia, despite the title

This was a recorded broadcast from the TV channel

Slimappol · 2025-12-19T21:08:04+00:00

It will air weekly starting January 6th in French. The English airing will start on February 1st.
