Pilot Betrayed (S10E03)

December 27th, 1991 — Scandinavian Airlines Flight #751 is mired in snow and slush at Stockholm airport. The DC-9 is de-iced twice to ensure it’s safe for take-off. Despite the winter conditions, the aircraft takes off smoothly. But within seconds,the engines begin emitting a series of rapid-fire booming noises, smoke begins filtering through the cabin, and less than two minutes later, both engines fail. As the pilots try restarting them, the left engine erupts in flames. 3,000 feet above the ground, the plane has lost all power and is falling quickly and silently from the sky. The plane hits the ground, breaking into three pieces, but remarkably everyone onboard survives. But can investigators determine what brought down the nearlynew, state-of-the-art jetliner? (iTunes)
