Revealing the dark truth that aviation safety improves one crash at a time, Mayday: Air Disaster investigates legendary aviation disasters to find out what went wrong and why. Based on cockpit voice recorders, accident reports, and eyewitness accounts, every episode also features interviews, gripping reenactments, and state-of-the-art CGI.
