I enjoy Paul's maritime videos and am pleased to see he's made 2 air crash salvage videos on how the wreckages were located and found (the other being Air India Flight 192).
He uses clips from the Mayday/Air Crash Investigations show, which I wish he gave attribution for. Regardless, his focus is on the sea search and recovery. His thorough research always has me learning something I didn't know before (like how only 8 bodies were recovered intact.)

"South African Airways Flight 295 vanishes into the Indian Ocean with 159 people on board! The only way to learn WHY is to find a shattered 747 lying deeper than the Titanic. ...This video follows Operation Resolve, the multinational deep‑ocean search that towed Pinger locators through uncharted seafloor, switched to high‑resolution side‑scan sonar when the black box beacons went silent, and finally mapped two debris fields 4,400 meters down."
