This episode uncovers the astonishing story behind the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, the second Boeing 737 MAX 8 disaster in just four and a half months.

What’s even more incredible? The crew, fully aware of MCAS, still lost control. But here’s the twist: the chaos in the cockpit unfolded in two gripping phases—and MCAS didn’t even come into play until the second. Pilot errors and a flawed MCAS system fused together to create this aviation disaster.
Get ready to dive deep into the hidden details, hard truths, and stunning missteps that changed aviation safety forever.
