Air Crash Investigation: Special Report

S01E02 Bad Attitude

Every time passengers board a flight, they trust their captain with their safety, despite the potential for human errors that could lead to disaster. When BEA Flight 548 goes down shortly after takeoff, investigators discover a heartbreaking mix of human issues tied to the captain. Simultaneously, on Northwest Airlink Flight 5719, the first officer is rendered ineffective due to the captain's aggressive behavior. Additionally, a concealed weakness in the captain of Trans Colorado Flight 2286 ultimately results in tragedy for all onboard.
