Mayday: Air Disasters

En route from Jakarta, Indonesia, to the airline’s home base in Singapore, SilkAir Flight 185 is 35,000 feet above the jungles of Sumatra when the plane banks sharply to the right, takes a nosedive, and crashes into a remote jungle river. All 104 people on board die in the disaster and then it’s up to investigators to figure out what happened. At first, they suspect mechanical failure.
