Why Did These Expert Pilots Fly Straight Into a Mountain?

When visibility drops to zero, even the most advanced aviation technology can become a death trap. In this gripping investigation, we break down three catastrophic cases of Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT), where seasoned crews with up to 30,000 combined flying hours completely lost situational awareness. Discover how a Thai Airways jetliner made a fatal 360-degree turn into a Himalayan peak, killing all 113 people on board, and why an Air China Boeing 767 slammed into Mount Doe just 3 miles from the runway, leaving only 37 survivors out of 166. Finally, we uncover how an obscure safety feature on an Airbus A320 turned a minor bout of turbulence into a deadly 3,300 feet per minute dive. Licensed to Little Dot Studios.
