In the early morning of December 28th, 2014, 156 passengers boarded an Airbus A320 operating as Indonesia Air Asia flight 8501, at Juanda International airport in Surabaya, Indonesia. They were bound for Singapore’s Changi airport, a two and half hour journey. But a perfect storm of human fallibility, deficiencies in pilot training, and mechanical error would come together to ensure that the flight never made it to its destination.

This short documentary uses publicly available sources to describe the events which led up to the crash of Indonesia Air Asia flight 8501, and details the reasons behind it.
