A Cold Crash That Sparked The BIGGEST Investigation! | XMAS SPECIAL | Mayday: Air Disaster

This crash sparks one of the biggest transportation investigations in Canadian history – including a judicial inquiry – and since the flight’s data recorders are too damaged to be of any use, investigators rely heavily on eyewitness reports.

From Season 9 Episode 6 "Cold Case": March 10th, 1989 — Bound for Winnipeg, Air Ontario Flight 1363 prepares for takeoff after a brief layover in Dryden, a remote Northern airport. Already an hour behind schedule, the pilots fear the heavy snowfall will further delay their departure, and after refueling, they taxi into position and accelerate. The jet reaches takeoff speed but struggles to get airborne, and although it clears the trees at the end of the runway, starts shaking violently and less than a minute later crashes into the woods. Emergency crews rush to the site, and although 45 passengers emerge from the wreckage, 24 people die in the disaster. Welcome to the OFFICIAL Mayday: Air Disaster YouTube Channel.
