The data recorder does show that the crew’s actions prevented the accident from becoming catastrophic but doesn’t explain why both of the plane’s engines failed at the same time. Investigators suspect that the engines were somehow deprived of fuel, but are at a loss as to how that happened. Climb into the cockpit for an experience you won’t soon forget. Using news footage, interviews and gripping reenactments, MAYDAY investigates aviation disasters to find out what went wrong and why. Now in its seventh season, the series takes viewers on eight more ill-fated flights. Based on cockpit voice recorders, eyewitness accounts, and accident reports, the series expertly recreates the pressure and tension of being in the cabin and the cockpit. MAYDAY also follows survivors, family members and air crash investigators as they piece together the causes of each disaster. Whether the result of a fire on-board, automated flight systems, pilot error, or manufacturing defects, every accident offers valuable lessons about air travel, that ultimately make flying safer. MAYDAY takes you to the scene of the crash like no other show. Buckle up for another season of tension-filled flying and surprising scientific investigation. Welcome to the OFFICIAL Curious?
