Air Crash Investigations

On August 31 1986, an Aeromexico DC9 preparing to land at Los Angeles International Airport collided with a much smaller plane, a Piper PA-28 Cherokee. Both planes spiralled out of control and crashed onto the residential suburb below. How could this tragic accident have occurred at such a sophisticated airport?

In 1996 a military 737 jet carrying high-powered passenger's crashes miles from its intended destination in Croatia. Was it an act of terrorism?

On January 3, 2004, Flash Airlines flight 604 left Egypt heading back to Paris. But just minutes after take off something went tragically wrong. The plane inexplicably crashed into the Red Sea, shattering on impact killing all 148 people on board. Was it terrorism? A mechanical failure? Or did the very experienced and respected pilot make a mistake that cost all on board their lives?
