From Season 9 Episode 6 "Cold Case": 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.

From Season 7 Episode 5 "Operation Babylift":April 4, 1975. In the final, chaotic days of the Vietnam War, US President Gerald Ford orders an urgent mission of mercy called ‘Operation Babylift’. Its goal: to rescue Vietnamese orphans from the chaos of the war and take them back to the safety of the US.

From Season 9 Episode 8 "Cracks In The System": Part plane, part speedboat, the twin turbo-prop taxis through one of the world’s busiest ports, and after a smooth takeoff, climbs towards the clouds. A minute later, however, it’s suddenly rocked by an explosion. From the beach, a tourist films its catastrophic plunge into the ocean.

Featuring news footage, interviews, and gripping reenactments, MAYDAY investigates legendary aviation disasters to find out what went wrong and why. Each episode provides a compelling, in-depth look at one particular aspect of air safety.
