Last April a Boeing 727 crashed in the Sonoran Desert of Baja California "Laguna Salada", and it will be this Sunday October 7th that Discovery Channel will broadcast this event in its television program "Curiosity" at 6pm.Nat Geo was also present.

Many universities and institutions participated in the event, in which scientific experiments were conducted, that the main focus was to understand the effects of a plane crash in order to improve aircraft safety.

The Ministry of Tourism of Baja California informed that in this event, other smaller planes were used to guide the 727 after the pilots who operated it jumped out with parachutes.

The 727 was then guided with remote controls that were nearby in the smaller planes.

A total of 49 cameras were used inside and out of the plane in this experiment, which included 12 different viewing angles from land and a few test dummies with sensors to measure the effects of the accident.

The program "Curiosity" will be broadcasted in the United States, England and Germany.
