Thanks for your patience during Caroline's unexpected hiatus! We're back, with a harrowing tale of fire, destruction, and death. A routine flight from Florida with a stopover in Texas became a tragic nightmare when a powerful storm began to fight Delta Airlines 191. 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.)

Fatal Blade: Southwest Airlines 1380
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.
