A 12-Second Radar Delay Led to Indonesia’s Deadliest Plane Crash | Mayday Air Disaster | DC

Amid thick smoke from a forest fire, Garuda Indonesia Flight 152 approaches the Medan airport on the island of Sumatra. But just minutes from the runway—and fatally off course—the Airbus A-300 crashes in the jungle. Claiming the lives of all 234 people on board, it's the country's worst-ever aviation disaster. And investigators are baffled when they realize the plane was flying away from the airport when it crashed.
