October 31st 2000 - As Taiwan braces for an intense tropical storm, Singapore Airlines Flight 006 prepares to take off from Taipei’s Chang Kai-shek Airport.

Bound for Los Angeles, the plane needs to get airborne before the typhoon hits. But as the 747 hurtles down the runway, the pilots suddenly lose control of the aircraft. It spins around violently, crashes and breaks apart. Survivors desperately flee the burning wreckage and of the 179 people on board, 83 people die.

Emergency vehicles race toward the runway but their efforts are hampered by strong winds and heavy rain. The busy airport is closed and then it’s up to the Aviation Safety Council of Taiwan to determine the cause of the deadly disaster.
