TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Tenuous or not, I will still have to watch just to see if there's actually any mention of any aspect of the written instructions themselves (and, inevitably, how much they bad-mouth the writers who produced them).
BTW...helicopters will definitely need to be saved for later episodes; otherwise the project will be shut down after the resulting death and destruction. I'm hoping they manage to get a few shows in the can before they kill anybody.

Technical writing has only the thinnest and most tenuous connection with this show. It's about a couple of people possibly killing themselves trying to use stuff they've never seen before without any training. I'm pretty sure they will do their best to drum up "will Billy blow himself up by pressing the wrong button" moments.
