Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis Air Disasters show (6:1)) covering the blowout of a plug door of an airliner in flight, was prophetic when a similar incident occurred in Jan., 2024 with a new Alaska Airlines Boeing 737, which managed to land safely. The Air Disaster show was invaluable in explaining the problem of the incident it presented, discussing how and why it happened. The Air Disasters show (from 2007) ironically was repeated not long before the Alaska Airlines event took place, 17 years later.
- GoofsThe narrator constantly says airplanes use pressurized oxygen when flying, but they use pressurized AIR not oxygen. A pure oxygen atmosphere would be a fire hazard.
