(Plane Crash Recreated: Season 2: Cathay 780 / Hong Kong) Věda “Plane Crash Recreated” investigates the worlds most shocking aviation incidents. Using expert analysis, black-box data and survivor stories, each episode reconstructs the final moments of these ill-fated flights to uncover what went wrong. Pilots and passengers recount their harrowing experiences onboard. From mechanical failures to extreme weather, this immersive series pieces together the evidence and sheds light on the chain of events that made the difference between a near miss and a catastrophe. Each incident is unpacked to reveal the lessons that changed aviation safety forever. A team of elite pilots recreates the flights using cutting-edge flight-simulator technology to discover what could have been done differently and how future disasters might be avoided. On a routine flight from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Hong Kong, Cathay 780 experienced unexplained engine warnings. Over the course of its journey, both engines failed, turning the plane into a glider. Capt. Malcolm Waters uses his piloting skills to guide the plane towards Hong Kong and avoid ditching in the sea. When one engine regains partial power, hope rekindles, but now the speed is stuck. The struggling plane approaches Hong Kong for a high-speed landing. When a plane comes to a stop at the end of the runway, a brake fire triggers an emergency evacuation. The engine shutdown remained a mystery until investigators discovered an unusual source: the fuel. A storm near Surabayas airport caused fuel contamination, leading the engines to stall. In this episode, Capt. Waters recounts his nail-biting experience in the cockpit. MN 12 (United Kingdom)
