Episodes Mentioned: for you to check out if you have not already! Thanks for listening for a year!

In our pilot episode (pun intended), we discuss the events of UA232 (Sioux City crash) from 1989. This has some local history for us, as the flight originated in Denver. This episode is dedicated to Al Haynes and his phenomenal crew resource management that helped save so many lives.

A 747-200 crashes into the ocean without any sign of an issue from the flight crew. Find out how a seemingly simple fix to the tail of this aircraft caused China Airlines 611 to break up over the ocean 22 years later.

A 727 crashes on a turn to get to the runway at the Cincinnati airport. Find out how a lack of notification, bad weather, a sense of urgency, and distraction caused this flight to crash into the ground miles from the runway.

A Boeing 777-200 crashes on landing at the San Francisco International Airport. Find out how the crew caused this plane to cartwheel on the runway. 2020 © Anchor FM Inc. All rights reserved.

A Qantas Airbus A380, the biggest jet airliner, has a catastrophe on its way to Sydney, Australia from Singapore. Find out how bad quality control caused this plane to almost fall out of the sky. 2020 © Anchor FM Inc. All rights reserved.
