Plane crashes and aviation accidents stir up some of our greatest fears. The idea of being trapped inside a machine 30,000 feet in the air, traveling at hundreds of miles an hour, when something goes wrong and it's completely out of our power to fix it. And even though flying is one of the safest forms of travel today, people have a fascination with what happens when disaster strikes and a pilot has to try and save the lives of hundreds of people on board. 

Emmet Feerick is the founder of the hugely successful Youtube channel Green Dot Aviation, and in this interview he talks to Colm about why he is so interested in studying the psychology behind some of the worst aviation disasters in history. He talks about how humans react when under immense pressure, and how in some cases they can rise to the occasion to save the day.
