Mayday: Air Disasters

T12:C03 - S12:E03 - Typhoon Takeoff

As Taiwan braces for an intense tropical storm, Singapore Airlines Flight 006 prepares to take off from Taipei’s Chang Kai-shek Airport. Bound for Los Angeles, the plane needs to get airborne before the typhoon hits. But as the 747 hurtles down the runway, the pilots suddenly lose control of the aircraft. It spins around violently, crashes, and breaks apart.
