catastrophic events onboard an aircraft

The background science to each event is brought to life with the help of experts, CGI reconstructions and official investigation footage, delivering insights into what went wrong. Each episode is themed and the series covers Mechanical Failure, Pilot Error, Landings, Terrorism, Extreme Weather, and Passengers. The jaw-dropping stories include a small passenger aircraft that ditched off the coast of Hawaii which led to an attempt to survive in shark-infested waters; a mistake in the cockpit that caused an airliner to crash land and slide down the runway for over 2,000 feet; and the passenger who confronted a terrorist threatening to bomb his plane.

World’s Worst Flights builds on Arrow’s huge body of aviation-related programming.
