Microscopic Flaws That Brought Down Airliners

This episode examines three catastrophic aviation disasters: China Airlines Flight 611, Pan Am Flight 103, and Partnair Flight 394. Each investigation reveals a different path to disaster, from structural failures and inadequate maintenance records to the use of unapproved counterfeit aircraft parts. Pan Am Flight 103 was destroyed by a terrorist bomb, while the other cases exposed serious weaknesses in aircraft maintenance and component oversight. Through wreckage reconstruction, radar analysis, and forensic investigation, investigators pieced together the causes of these tragedies. The findings led to major changes in aviation regulations, maintenance practices, and documentation standards, strengthening safety across the global airline industry.
