Episodes included are from:

0:00 Season 4 Episode 9 "Vertigo": January 3, 2004. In the darkness before dawn, Flash Airlines flight 604 takes off from Sharm el-Sheik Egypt, heading back to Paris. Sharm is a popular resort destination for many Europeans, and the flight is filled with families returning home. The pilot is a former Brigadier General and a well-respected commercial pilot with thousands of hours of flying under his belt.

But just minutes after takeoff, something goes tragically wrong. The plane crashes into the Red Sea, shatters on impact and sinks. All 148 onboard are killed.

48:48 Season 4 Episode 8 "Fog Of War": In April, 1996, American government officials and high-powered U.S. businessmen were on a trade mission to Bosnia and Croatia. The last leg of the trip took them to Dubrovnik. Among those aboard the flight was US Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, a close friend and political ally of President Clinton.

Their aircraft was a specially outfitted 737 military jet and the crew were all experienced military personnel.

As they neared the airport, rain made the journey increasingly difficult. A plane that landed just before them got in touch, warning the crew that conditions were the minimum needed to land safely.

Just after three o’clock, local air traffic controllers lost contact with the American plane. Because the airport was devastated by the recent war in the region, it was operating with outdated landing equipment. The airport didn’t even have radars. Local controllers took no chances and called for help.

01:37:18 Season 4 Episode 4 "Missed Approach": Korean Air Flight 801 is flying to Guam International Airport from Seoul, when it runs into bad weather. Turbulence bounces passengers and crew – but much worse is to come.

Fighting rain, and faulty navigational equipment, the crew struggle to find the airport. But just as they see it, the rain closes in again. As the plane flies closer and closer to the ground, warning sirens fill the cockpit. But still, the crew is flying blind. The rain won’t let up.

Flight 801 crashes five kilometres short of the Guam airport, scattered down Nimitz Hill. While many passengers survive the crash, they can’t escape the fires that tear through the wreckage. More than 200 people are killed.
