Why Did All 4 Jet Engines Suddenly Fail at 35,000 Feet?

When severe weather strikes, an ordinary commercial flight can instantly transform into a terrifying, high-octane battle for survival. From massive thunderstorm cells tearing jet engines apart to invisible, two-mile-wide microbursts crushing airliners right short of the runway, this documentary uncovers what happens when aviation meets the absolute worst of Mother Nature. We go inside the high-stakes federal weather centers fighting to protect the skies and dissect the catastrophic chain of events behind legendary disasters — including a Boeing 747 that fell from 35,000 feet after flying into a hidden volcanic ash cloud that melted inside its engines.
