I'm not a designer, so i speak as a consumer. I disagree with complements on the look of this. I kind of feel it's misisng something, which i can't quite pin down. perhaps it's the look of the maps, that they don't quite match the rest of the feel. The sources text in FF28 W7x64 doesn't look particuarly good, not very ledgible. maybe it's just an overall static and clinical look that i don't quite like (which is odd as i do like industrial design). I think it possibly needs a bit more art direction. but i'm a consumer so what do i know.

Re font problem: same experience on Mac, tested on both Chrome and Firefox nightly. The creator should choose a different font. Some images are small and the font and color of texts used in some of these images make reading hard. Another pet peeve is I hate scrolling down. I hate this kind of design. Why leaving 1/4 of the page statically useless... I don't have to constantly scroll back and forth just to navigate around. Anyway, this is a cool presentation. though it'd be really nice if audio is supplemented. This would be make a great video presentation.

One simple thing they could have done would be let you click on the airplane to stay, or, alternatively, have a button which says "Start Here". I didn't realize the top three buttons were actually buttons initially. In terms of content, I think some analysis would be good, given that most people have absolutely no context for how airplanes work and what potential scenarios may have befallen the flight.

Agreed. The fonts render terribly on Chrome Windows 7 on my machine. Also, I kept expecting to be able to scroll and it took a little while to figure out how to navigate the pages. The nav bar at the top could serve dual-purpose: allow the user to click on a particular box while also allowing scrolling and showing the user's current position in the content.

  Identical experience here. The fonts looked so bad in Chrome that I opened FF (which I very rarely do) to see how they compared, and it was far more readable in FF.
