That's an amazing episode of "#AirDisasters". It's the aircraft equivalent of those bicycles where your left/right controls are reversed. To forget that muscle memory to land this plane with reversed left/right ailerons on the wings - try to ride one of those reversed control bikes. How long do you need to get it under control?

I'll confess that Air Disasters on Smithsonian is one of my favorite shows. Not because people die, but because the investigators are always so determined to figure out the cause and then they do, even if they start with nothing. It's a testament to humanity's curiosity, compassion, and determination to care for each other. #AirDisasters #Disaster #RandomThots

#AirDisasters has been playing episodes from 2003 as new for weeks.

This is the episode of #AirDisasters which was formerly #AirCrashInvestigations (they reissue old episodes) where I lost a very good friend.
1998 Swissair SR111 JFK to Geneva - crashing because of fire on board.
