Mayday: Air Disasters

S12:E02 - Fire in the Hold

Headed for Atlanta in an aging DC-9, the crew of ValuJet Flight 592 hears a mysterious sound shortly after taking off from Miami. Almost immediately, they are hit with a barrage of mechanical failures. At first, they notice an electrical problem. The plane’s batteries are draining fast. But within minutes, the situation gets much worse. The pilots hear screams of "fire" coming from the cabin.
