Why Planes Crash

Taking to the sky in an airplane can be dangerous when the weather doesn't cooperate. This documentary series investigates aviation accidents and how the elements contributed to them. Interviews with witnesses and survivors, testimony by experts, and data from the plane's black box aid in exploring each incident. The FAA's case files are used to create animations to diagram what happened before each crash. Fog, haze and hail are some of the weather conditions responsible for the disasters.

S2, EP1 "Brush with Death"

People that miraculously survive a plane crash tell their harrowing stories.

S2, EP2 "Small Planes, Big Problems"

There is little room for mistakes in the cockpit of a small plane, where bad weather, poor visibility or distraction can be deadly.

S2, EP3 "Severe Weather"

A terrifying truth about weather is that thunderstorms, wind-shear and microbursts can bring down planes.

S2, EP4 "Sudden Impact"

Sometimes planes veer off course and slam into mountains or other obstacles.
