Yes, I saw the movie and (two, I believe) the documentaries.
As is true in most cases, the book goes much more into detail, but the movie did a good job of telling the story.
You can tell for sure if anyone knows more than just a little of that disaster by saying one word... "Nando!" Those who have read the book and/or seen the movie will know just what that word means.

Here is a good website I found about the accident:
