In this special documentary we meet the survivors of some of the worst commercial crashes in aviation history - individuals who have cheated death by the slimmest of margins and crawled out of the wreckage to tell their tales. In their own words, in in-depth interviews, alongside dramatic archive footage of the actual crashes, survivors tell their heart-stopping stories of survival and heart-warming stories of recovery and personal redemption in the years that follow the crashes. Each has gone on to make profoundly positive changes in their life as a direct result of the crash they were involved in - some even say they are glad for the crash. Through their unique stories universal truths emerge of what it means to survive and what it means to live. Their life affirming stories offer a powerful message for us all.
