Air Crash Investigations
January 20th, 1992 - Flight 148 starts its descent towards Strasbourg airport. An Airbus A-320 is the world's first fully computerised passenger plane, and while its autopilot is programmed to land on a specific runway, high winds mean the pilots must take over the controls. But things get out of control and the aircraft suddenly slams into the side of a mountain, killing eighty-seven people. Investigators will enquire as to what caused such confusion, but can they unveil what was to blame?

December 19th, 2005 - Flight 101 is preparing for take-off in the waters off Miami Beach, Florida. Part plane, part speedboat, the twin turbo-prop taxis through one of the world's busiest ports, and after a smooth take-off, is suddenly rocked by an explosion. From the beach, a tourist films its catastrophic plunge into the ocean. Lifeguards immediately race to the crash site and within hours, salvage crews begin recovering the wreckage. But what caused such a horrendous mid-air explosion?
