Terror in the Skies: AirAsia and Beyond

Details the events of December 28, 2014, when AirAsia flight 8501 and its 155 passengers and seven crew members were lost in a storm 40 minutes into their journey from Indonesia to Singapore. The special reveals “troubling connections” between the accident and 2009′s Air France disaster, and also explores technology designed to prevent such incidents from recurring. The doc will also feature computer-generated animation aimed at breaking down radar data from the final moments of the flight, while meteorologists will use weather data from the day of the accident to look at the effects of the storm on the Airbus A320. Also included in the doc are exclusive interviews with global experts, including legal representative for the victims’ families.
