Plane Crash Recreated S01E05 - UA232 / Sioux City

On 19 July 1989, United Airlines Flight 232 was making its regularly scheduled flight from Denver to Chicago when the DC-10 aircraft suffered a catastrophic failure to the tail-engine. The crew onboard faced the impossible task of landing with a total loss of control. 112 passengers perished in the horrific crash but thanks to the incredible crew, 184 people survived the fifth-deadliest crash involving a DC-10. In this episode we hear from multiple survivors as well as the first-officer, Bill Records, who gives a rare first-hand account from the cockpit, of what could have been the crew's final moments.
