A state of the art Airbus A320 carrying 143 passengers and crew powers towards the runway on its final approach to Bahrain international Airport. The plane is way too fast, and too high, but the pilots are in denial, and they decide to press on. Moments from touchdown, when the truth becomes too obvious to ignore, the captain hauls the plane back around for another approach. But as he does so, his instruments begin to tell him something that he simply doesn’t believe.

What happens next, is an incredible story of confusion and panic, and more than that, it’s a story about what happens when two very different personalities clash in the cockpit. This is the story of Gulf Air flight 72.
