Over the past few days, I've compiled this YouTube playlist of every (non-special) episode of Mayday that I could find on YouTube. But instead of ordering them by season/episode number, I've chosen to order them according to the date that each incident occurred. The playlist starts with the 1956 Grand Canyon mid-air collision, followed by the 1958 Munich disaster, then Dag Hammarskjöld's crash in 1961, and so on.
I figured it would be an interesting way to watch the series, as it allows one to see how aviation safety and technology has evolved over time as they progress through the playlist.
A few notes:
- I tried my best to find as many episodes as I could on YouTube in the best possible quality (many of which are fortunately on Mayday's main channel); however, some haven't made their way there yet. For episodes that are missing, I've substituted them with a short clip from that episode as a placeholder.
- For episodes that feature multiple incidents ("Behind Closed Doors," "Cold Case," "Hidden Danger"), the date of the first incident is considered; though I made an exception for "The Final Push" as that episode deals almost exclusively with FedEx Flight 80 which happened in 2009, while 1997's FedEx Flight 14 is only briefly covered during the first few minutes of the episode, thus that episode is further down the playlist with the other crashes of 2009.
- For incidents that have been covered twice by the show (JAL 123, United 811, Aeroperú 603, Alaska 261, and the collisions at LAX and Überlingen), I've included both episodes for each, with the older one listed first.
