The Plane Was Landing Normally - Then the Captain Snapped | Full Investigation

On October 30, 1974, a Lockheed Electra crashed into the frozen Arctic Ocean while approaching Rea Point, a remote oil exploration outpost in Canada’s far north. The aircraft was just 300 feet above the surface when something inexplicable happened. According to the surviving crew members, the approach had been normal — until the captain suddenly claimed they were above a cloud layer and needed to get below it. But there was no cloud layer. Moments later, he pushed the aircraft into a steep descent and flew directly into the ice. Only 2 people survived. 32 never came home. This detailed air crash investigation examines one of the strangest and most forgotten aviation disasters in Canadian history: the Panarctic Oils Lockheed Electra crash, the Arctic conditions, the captain’s final decision, the possible visual illusion, medical theories, cockpit confusion, and the mystery investigators were never able to fully solve. Why did a normal approach end with a sudden dive into the frozen sea? #AirCrashInvestigation #PlaneCrash
