A Deadly Wind: Delta Airlines 191
<p>Thanks for your patience during Caroline's unexpected hiatus! We're back, with a harrowing tale of fire, destruction, and death.

What followed resulted in the death of over 100 people, and the longest trial in aviation history. But what exactly happened here? And who should be to blame? Tune in as Caroline and Trevor discuss this crash (but try to ignore Trevor's ridiculous ATC theories.)</p>

Death Spiral: Alaska Airlines 261
<p>On January 31, 2000, Alaska Airlines 261 became one of the most infamous flights in history. As pilots from two other planes watched helplessly, the MD-80 aircraft spiraled downward toward the ocean, ending in a violent crash that killed 88 people. But how did this happen? The answer proved to be scandalous, and led to the exposure of airline corruption beyond anyone's worst nightmares. Tune into this week's episode as Caroline and Justin delve into this horrific story.</p>

Fatal Blade: Southwest Airlines 1380
<p>If you knew that one person would be killed on your flight, would you still get on that plane? Unbeknownst to anyone, those were the odds facing the passengers of Southwest 1380 when they boarded the aircraft in spring of 2018. A freak accident would occur that fateful day, tragically taking the life of a beloved person. And if things had happened slightly differently, everyone else would have died too. But how did this occur in the modern era, especially on a plane that belonged to America's safest airline? Caroline and Trevor answer all these questions on today's episode.</p>
