When It Goes Wrong

Air Crash Investigation - Air France 447 and the Lake Constance Mid Air Collision


Listen Later

Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this episode I discuss two airplane crashes - Air France 447 where pilots failed to manage with mechanical failures, and the Lake Constance mid-air collision where two planes crashed due to a conflict between air traffic control and plane systems. I discuss how the hand off between technology and humans is becoming increasingly important with the rise of AI.
