We run out of gas in our cars all the time. It is, at worst, a very annoying inconvenience. But how does a passenger plane run out of fuel? On January 25, 1990, a Boeing 707 with 150 on board crashed into a backyard in Long Island, tearing apart on impact. The cause? The plane had burned through over 70,000 pounds of fuel on its flight. But how did this happen? And who is responsible for the deaths of 75 people? Caroline and Alex discuss this hotly-debated international flight gone horribly wrong.
Most adults have had a drink or two on a plane. But your pilot is always sober... right? Not always. Aeroflot 821 and Trans-Colorado 2286 are two fatal flights that serve as a historic reminder about sobriety to pilots across the globe. Caroline and Drew delve into the completely preventable tragedies caused by pilots that were under the influence on this episode. Caroline also gets mad at the pilots, and swears a lot.
In the first installment of a surely never-ending series on passengers making bad choices on planes, Caroline and Brendan discuss in-flight incidents from plastic knife wielding to wine bottle smashing.
NOTE: Microphone issues happened quite a bit here, but we did our best. Don't get mad at me, please.

We've all wondered as some point: Will the airline I choose cause my demise? The answer is: Maybe.

A seemingly harmless conversation links two fatal crashes to one another in the late 1980s. But what do they have in common? And who is truly to blame? Caroline and Brendan investigate and discuss this alarming disaster caused by laziness and oversight.
NOTE: Microphone issues were rampant, causing sound issues. We tried our best.
