  • How a Boeing 767 Became a Glider

    How a Boeing 767 Became a Glider
    2 Nov 2026
    This episode tells the remarkable story of Air Canada Flight 143, a Boeing 767 that lost both engines at 26,000 feet after running out of fuel. A combination of unit-conversion errors, inadequate training, and a faulty fuel measurement system left the crew with dangerously inaccurate fuel information.
    With no engine power, Captain Bob Pearson used his glider experience to perform an extraordinary emergency landing at the former Gimli air base. Despite the unusual circumstances and a difficult evacuation, all 69 people on board survived. The aircraft became famously known as the “Gimli Glider,” turning a near-catastrophic failure into one of aviation’s most remarkable survival stories.

  • Tragedy on Flight 242

    Tragedy on Flight 242
    1 Nov 2026
    This episode examines the tragic crash of Southern Airways Flight 242 on April 4, 1977, after the aircraft encountered a powerful thunderstorm. Severe hail and torrential rain damaged the aircraft and caused both engines to fail, leaving the crew without power.
    Forced into an emergency landing on a rural highway, the aircraft struck vehicles and a gas station before crashing and catching fire, resulting in 72 fatalities. The disaster highlighted serious weaknesses in weather detection and severe-weather procedures, leading to major improvements in weather radar technology and engine management during heavy precipitation.

  • Flight 965: The Tragedy of Darkness

    Flight 965: The Tragedy of Darkness
    31 Oct 2026
    This episode examines the tragic crash of American Airlines Flight 965 in Colombia on December 20, 1995. During a rushed approach, the flight crew became overwhelmed by navigational confusion while reprogramming the aircraft’s computer system, accidentally deleting critical waypoints and selecting an incorrect route.
    The resulting loss of situational awareness sent the fully functional aircraft off course and into mountainous terrain. Only four of the 163 people on board survived. The disaster became a powerful lesson in managing pilot workload, navigation systems, and automation during high-pressure situations, leading to important changes in aviation safety procedures.
