Shortly after takeoff on March 1, 1978, the flight crew of Continental Airlines Flight 603 hears a loud boom and knows instantly what that sound means: it is no longer safe to takeoff, and instead, the takeoff will be rejected.

Join Shelly for this incredible episode of Take to the Sky: The Air Disaster Podcast as we walk through the events that unfolded on the runway and how the investigation uncovered flaws in the design of many aircraft components meant to keep passengers safe.
