概要
At 03:42 a.m. They Pushed an Airworthy Plane Into Earth

Fear that skilled pilots can still be outpaced by human limits: a Boeing 757 flying as FlyDubai 981 struck the ground at nearly 500 mph despite being airworthy and fully functional, killing 62 people - so what chain of pressures turned a routine route into a fatal descent? Dive into the one night where fatigue, weather and decisions collided to erase margins of safety.

In this episode, we present the sequence of events from the March 18, 2016 flight from Dubai to Rostov-on-Don, the deteriorating weather, the prolonged holding pattern, and the approaches that preceded the crash, asking how exhaustion and procedural pressures combined to produce catastrophe.

Flight: FlyDubai 981
Date: March 18, 2016
Aircraft: Boeing 757-200

- The aircraft impacted terrain at nearly 500 miles per hour.
