Air Crash Investigations

Just minutes after taking off an Airbus collides with a flock of birds causing both engines to lose all thrust. The crew desperately tries to restart their engines, but can't. Searching desperately for a place to land, the captain warns passengers and crew to brace for impact and lands the plane in the icy waters of the Hudson River.

On a Turkish Airlines flight, the crew is following instructions from the control tower that will line up their Boeing 737 with the runway. In the final seconds of the flight, however, the plane suddenly falls from the sky and crashes into a muddy field just north of the airport where it was supposed to land. Was it the pilot or plane's fault that caused this disaster?

On 6 February 1958, British European Airways Flight 609, carrying members of the famed Manchester United football team, crashed into a house about 300 metres from the end of the runway in Munich, killing 23 abroad. Aviation experts investigated and were shocked at the cause of the crash, questioning whether this catastrophe could have been prevented.
