It is one thing to read aviation accident reports (and I do) even to the transcripts. It is another to listen to them, and in 1999 someone made a purportedly-awesome stage play where actors read, in a mockup cockpit, with annunciators and stuff, actual CVR transcripts (almost word for word, almost in real time).
I had heard great things about it for CRM (crew resource management) training, and there was a low quality video that was distributed for only that purpose (which I never saw). But it turns out in 2013 they secretly made this and it. Is. Awesome. I know some of these accidents well and it adds an entirely other dimension to them. I stopped during the Aeroperu static tube crash to quote the line in the title to some people I know because as much as reading the report makes you go "wow, that must have sucked" this makes it really personal.
Sometimes uncomfortably so. I mean, it's super not for nervous fliers, and if you are flight crew be careful when you watch it, as you may not sleep. It is very, very well done I think. I also totally agree that it provides a nice launching off point for discussions of CRM, team dynamics, sterile cockpit rules, general crisis management, etc. so may have training value for you, and your coworkers.
All in all, one of the best things I have seen on film in years.
