*** Yet another one for the Überlingen collision, though a lesser one compared to the rest of the tragedy: the controller at Karlsruhe actually
''sees'' the two planes on the collision course in advance, calls Nielsen to warn him, but can't get through. And he doesn't have the right to interfere himself (considering the small amount of time left and the already contradictory instructions from Nielsen and [=TCAS=], it's doubtful he would have managed to rectify the situation even if he had called the pilots). Although he isn't shown after his attempts to contact Nielsen, one can imagine what it was like for him, being ForcedToWatch the catastrophe on his radar and utterly unable to do anything to help.

** Captain Rasmussen from "Pilot Betrayed" was diagnosed with PTSD, and retired the year after the crash. Especially sad because the narration emphasises just how he used to love his job.

* In practically every episode, there is a discussion of how easily the tragedy could have been averted, but some of the newer episodes, such as "Mixed Signals", have taken to twisting the knife by ''showing'' it. We are treated to FixFic snippets of the dramatisation that show how things could have been put right -- in "Mixed Signals"' case, we see how one ''phrase'' to correct the pilot error or a few seconds of the pilots reacting to the ground proximity warning would have resulted in the plane clearing the mountain safely instead of crashing into it and killing everyone aboard. Especially in the snippet where the pilots heed the ground proximity warning and start a go-around at the last moment, looking at their relieved faces is particularly heartbreaking with the knowledge that it's ''not'' what happened.

*** Really, Vitaly's whole story in the disaster counts, he even ''designed and built a huge monument himself'' for his own family who were killed in the crash. This eventually culminates in this line by the narrator just before he murders Peter Nielsen:
--->'''Narrator:''' Vitaly Kaloyev, the Russian architect, has lost his entire family, everything. [[DespairEventHorizon He, himself has gone to pieces.]] He's become obsessed with finding out who is responsible for the collision. Kaloyev decides to travel to Zurich, to play out the ''last tragic chapter'' of the Überlingen story.
