This episode examines two aviation catastrophes caused by structural failures and human interference. It begins with a flight targeted by a concealed bomb, which injured passengers and damaged controls, yet was safely landed, revealing a broader terrorist plot. The narrative then shifts to a mid-air disintegration decades after a poorly executed tail repair allowed a hidden fatigue crack to develop, ultimately causing the fuselage to fail.
