Investigators recovered explosive residues and timer fragments that ultimately identified the responsible Libyan intelligence officer, illustrating how deliberate acts can trigger widespread destruction.The third narrative examines Partnair Flight 394, where a combination of counterfeit bolts and a faulty, vibrating auxiliary power unit caused the tail to fail in flight, exposing the dangers of unapproved aircraft components.All three investigations highlight the complex and meticulous work required to analyze wreckage, interpret black box data, and reconstruct the sequence of events that led to these catastrophic accidents.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/Air_Crash_ChroniclesProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/

Lewis's The Last Battle St. Philip's Church: Charleston, SC Come join us on Wednesday nights as we explore the riches of C.S. Lewis’s marvelous book The Last Battle, which is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia. It is a remarkable book on multiple levels and was awarded the Carnegie Medal back in the 1950s when it was first published. The Last Battle has some themes in common with The Great Divorce and That Hideous Strength that will make it an excellent follow-up to those two books, and like them, it has some remarkable resonance with things going on in today’s culture. It is a book that is both theologically rich and poignantly beautiful in its writing, and it can help equip us to live boldly for Christ in a culture that has lost its way. (Although this book is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia, it can stand on its own and it is not necessary to have read the other books for this class.)
