Mid week madness

For fans of the truly amazing check out Mayday: Gimli Glider. "Two engines on a brand new jet fail, forcing the pilot to land on a runway he believes is abandoned." Not only did the pilot land this passenger jet completely unpowered, he glided for miles, the old airport he landed at actually had some kids riding bicycles on it when they landed. It's on Discovery Channel at 11pm.

Hurry and catch The Gene Krupa Story at 9pm on TCM. From 1959 and stars Sal Mineo.

Also at 9 is Exploring Hitler's Berlin on History Television. I told you it was madness. Then get another fix at midnight with Exploring Hitler's Munich.

At 1am go to CBC to find The Maltese Falcon. Sam Spade classic.

I had a look at what the History Channel has on and it's about hairy monsters and UFO's. Not mega sized but goofy enough to give them a miss.

All told, not a bad Wednesday.
