  • Spooky Scary Airplanes
    Not all hauntings happen on Halloween. Some happen on December 29. Sightings of dead crewmembers on planes that used a crashed planes spare parts?

  • Wheels Up
    While my podcast seems to highlight some negatives about aircraft safety, planes are actually very safe and durable. Today’s podcast highlights how planes don’t really need landing gear. And while planes often don’t have to land with no landing gear, it does happen sometimes. That’s what happened with LOT Polish Airlines flight 16. A seemingly dire hydraulic failure lead to a heroic outcome. Listen on to hear what happened to LOT Polish Airlines flight 16. Like what you hear?

  • Engine Fire
    Not every time I do a podcast on an air accident does it have to be the worst thing that’s ever happened. Sometimes the flight ends up just being a minor inconvenience to the people on board. That’s kind of what happened to the passengers on Lufthansa flight 401. Listen to hear some conversation between the German pilots and a New Yorker air traffic controller. Like what you hear?

  • It’s Like a Paper Airplane
    From the looks of it, a plane is a massive, mighty machine that can wristband anything Mother Nature has to throw at it. Well sometimes, all it takes is a strong gust of wind to blow the plane around like a paper airplane. This is what happened to Continental Flight 1404. Everything that could go wrong in this accident did. Just give this podcast a listen to hear what made this a very odd occurrence. Like what you hear?

  • The End of Custom-Air Obsession
    If you have ever seen a cockpit, you might think, “wow all those buttons. I would probably accidentally press something and the plane would crash”. Well that’s what I though when I first saw the cockpit of a plane. If you did accidentally press something, you would just need to fix it. But listen on to hear what happened to Atlas Air flight 3591, the flight where that last part didn’t exactly happen. Like what you hear?

  • A (Literal) Slippery Slope
    Imagine driving on the Interstate at 100 miles per hour (or faster) and there are little pieces of rubber on the road. Your car your probably spin out. Well the road is also wet. That is a recipe for disaster. That is what happened to Air India Express flight 1344. The worst kind of runway overrun. Like what you hear?

  • Fatal Training
    Air traffic control is essential to keep the airspace safe and controlled. But what happens when air traffic control doesn’t do their job. High priority missions, such as search and rescue missions, require priority from ATC and don’t work well in see and avoid airspaces. Listen on to hear about this ATC mishap that ended CG1705.

  • Broken Gear
    Landing is an important part of the flight, if it is done unsafely, it can be dangerous. Pilots practice tons of landings as part of their flight training, in order to get them just right, but what happens when the landing is so bad, it damages the aircraft beyond repair? That’s what happened to FedEx Express Flight 647. Listen on to hear what really happens when the landing breaks the gear. Like what you hear?
