A typically well-done story of a COPA flight in Panama that suddenly flipped over and sped towards the ground at 10,000 feet per minute, breaking up and catching fire along the way. Everyone aboard died.
The material cause of the accident was a frayed wire in what was called the artificial horizon. The proximate cause was poor maintenance and training.
Usually there's very little in the way of ginned up terror in the series, and there isn't any here, but in this instance I couldn't help identifying with the passengers who could have had no idea of what was going on except that they were falling through space at impossible G forces through 27,000 feet.
