Tamizi Hj Tamby 1 Report post Posted February 10, 2009 Again,National Geographic Channel's 'Air Crash Investigation' Series enters its 6th season. Here's the official episode list for this season: Title(Alternate title) 1.Lockerbie (Explosive Device) Disaster:Pan-Am Flight 103 Date:December 21st,1988 Aircraft:Boeing B747-100 Cause of disaster:Terrorist bombing and explosion in mid-air Pan Am Flight 103, a Boeing 747 flying from London to New York explodes in mid-air shortly after levelling off at 31,000 feet. The explosion causes the disintegration of the plane and wreckage lands in and around the small town of Lockerbie in Scotland, killing all 259 people on board as well as 11 people on the ground. The explosion was later determined to have been caused by a bomb in the forward cargo compartment. 2.Head on Collision (Collision course)/(Sight unseen) Disaster:Saudi Arabian Airlines Flight 763 & Air Kazakhstan Flight 1907 Date:November 12th,1996 Aircraft:Boeing B747-100 (Saudi Arabian) & Ilyushin Il-76 (Air Kazakhstan) Cause of disaster:Mid-air collision,Pilot error (Ilyushin) A Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 747 and a Air Kazakhstan Ilyushin Il-76 collide in mid-air over Charkhi Dadri, Haryanna, India; killing 349 people. Communication problems between the Kazakh jet and ATC, a design flaw in the ATC radar system, and cloudy weather; lead to the deadliest mid-air collision in history. 3.Shattered in Seconds (Scratching the surface) Disaster:China Airlines Flight 611 Date:May 25th,2002 Aircraft:Boeing B747-200B Cause of disaster:Explosive decompression,Structural failure On 2002, a China Airlines Boeing 747 disintigrated in mid-air and crashed into the Taiwan Strait just 20 minutes after taking off, killing all 225 people on board. The investigation revealed that a tailstrike some 22 years earlier sealed the fate of the aircraft. 4.Deadly Prize (Blown Apart) Disaster:Partnair Flight 394 Date:September 8th,1989 Aircraft:Convair 580 Cause of disaster:In-flight structural failure On September 1989, a Partnair Convair 580 plunged into the sea just off the coast of Denmark killing all 55 people on board. Due to poor maintenance, the bolts joining the tail section to the fuselage failed in flight leading to a catastrophic structural failure. 5.Operation Babylift Disaster:Crash during Operation Babylift Date:April 4th,1975 Aircraft:Lockheed C-5A Galaxy Cause of disaster:Explosive decompression In the final days of the Vietnam War, an American-led coalition conducts a mass evacuation of infants and children from South Vietnam. During the airlift a United States Air Force Lockheed C-5 Galaxy suffers an explosive decompression soon after take off and has to return to Tan Son Nhat airport. It crashes in a paddy field near the airport. 6.Ditch the Plane (Falling Fast) Disaster:Tuninter Flight 1153 Date:August 6th,2005 Aircraft:ATR-72 Cause of disaster:Fuel starvation,Ditching On August 2005, a Tuninter ATR-72 ran out of fuel and was forced to ditch in the sea near Palermo, Italy. Of the 39 people on board, 16 lost their lives. The mistake was simply a wrong fuel gauge that sent higher fuel readings than the actual ones. 7.Lost in Space Disaster:Adam Air Flight 574 Date:January 1st,2007 Aircraft:Boeing B737-4Q8 Cause of disaster:Pilot error,Navigation error On January 2007, an Adam Air Boeing 737 crashed into the Java Sea killing 102 people on board.

While flying in freezing conditions, ice acumulated on the wings. The inadecuate de-icing mechanisms failed to remove the ice, resulting in the disruption of the airflow. 9.Erebus Collision (The Erebus Disaster) Disaster:Air New Zealand Flight 901 Date:November 28th,1979 Aircraft:McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 Cause of disaster:Controlled flight into terrain resulting from poor navigation,whiteout condition and pilot error.

Ryan Soh 3 Report post Posted February 11, 2009 Wow... another reason to stay glued to the TV. Funny thing is that in Singapore, we were not shown the Silk Air MI185 episode from the previous season. I wonder if they will do one on SQ006 in TPE? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waiping 12 Report post Posted February 11, 2009 Looking forward to the Adam Air episode. But the Lockerbie incident had been covered in "Seconds from Disaster", no? The midair crash between Saudi and Air Kazakhstan also sounded familiar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Soh 3 Report post Posted February 11, 2009 Looking forward to the Adam Air episode. But the Lockerbie incident had been covered in "Seconds from Disaster", no? The midair crash between Saudi and Air Kazakhstan also sounded familiar. It sounds familiar because they also did one mid air collision between the DHL (757 or A300??) and the Russian plane full of kids. Tragic one... Sigh...

Yeah I saw the entire episode eventually on Youtube. The Air Florida and AA Eagle had the same ice contamination problem, but the causes leading up to the accident were all very different.
