Discovered on a random search for information on the 'Empress of Ireland' after I ran across a passing reference in a book. I'd call it a fair presentation of the material, providing a fairly detailed exposition of the events leading to the disaster, and to a lesser degree, the fallout.
To my taste, the 45 minute show did focus a bit too much on the then-contemporary dives on the wreck, and conflicting opinions between the investigators, which felt very much to me like the result of a meeting room session where someone asked, 'how can we try to make this more interesting.'
In summary, I left with a less-than-crisp understanding of the hypothesis; it filled both my curiosity and 45 minutes of my time. I'm not sure I'd would have found it satisfactory outside of the curiosity outside of the reference that I had run across.
