0:00 Season 5 Episode 3 "Behind Closed Doors": June 12, 1972 – The crew of American Airlines flight 96 is preparing their brand new DC10 for the short flight from Detroit, Michigan, to Buffalo, New York. A billiondollar investment by manufacturer McDonnell Douglas, this plane is the latest advance in passenger jets. It’s so new that neither the pilot nor copilot has more than 75 hours of experience flying the aircraft.

Within minutes of takeoff, an explosion rips a gaping hole in the cabin. The plane begins falling out of the sky and the pilots struggle to safely land the crippled aircraft. The badly damaged plane roars back to the Detroit airport. After a harrowing touchdown, the jet comes to a stop just 300 meters from the end of the runway.

48:41 Season 5 Episode 6 "Southern Storm": April 4, 1977 — A DC9 takes off in heavy rain for a 25minute flight from Huntsville to Atlanta, Georgia. The flight crew is expecting some turbulence but is unprepared for the increasingly dangerous weather. Using their onboard radar the crew navigates towards a break in the storm. But within minutes, hail the size of baseballs is beating down on the aircraft. The cockpit’s thick windshield cracks. Suddenly the aircraft loses electrical power, and then, both engines fail. If the crew can’t get to an airport, they’re going to crash.

The plane finally emerges from the storm near the town of New Hope Georgia – but they’ve fallen too far to reach an airport. First Officer Lyman Keele directs his Captain to start looking for a place to land. They settle on Georgia State Highway 92, the rural road that runs through the small town of New Hope Georgia. The plane careens down the asphalt and plows into a gas station, igniting a fireball, and causing the plane to break up. The aircraft finally comes to a stop in the front yard of a local home. The survivors flee the flaming wreckage, but 80 people – including eight on the ground – are dead.

01:37:11 Season 5 Episode 7 "Explosive Evidence": June 23, 1985 — Air India Flight 182 is cruising over the Atlantic Ocean – on its way from Canada to India. Air traffic controllers in Shannon, Ireland are monitoring the flight when suddenly its signal disappears from their screens. Search and rescue crews are quickly dispatched to scour the North Atlantic for the plane. Within hours, pieces of the aircraft and bodies are found scattered on the ocean surface. All 329 people on board the 747 are dead. And investigators begin the painstaking process of unraveling the mysterious tragedy.
