The Invisible Kill: How a Wind Shear Turned Routine Landing Deadly

The calm of a routine descent hid an invisible menace: at 6:06:05 PM a Lockheed L-1011 crossed a Texas highway at rooftop level traveling over 200 miles per hour, and 137 people died in eight seconds - but a Learjet that passed the same storm three minutes earlier landed without a scratch. What was the storm hiding that the radar, pilots, and controllers could all see yet still could not predict?

In this episode, we tell the sequence of events leading up to Delta Air Lines Flight 191’s final seconds, the crew’s experience, and the puzzling contrast with the Learjet that landed safely, asking how established procedures and the technology of 1985 failed to reveal the hazard.
