  • They Knew and Stayed Silent: The Night Aeroflot Descended into Fog
    2026/10/29
    They Knew and Stayed Silent: The Night Aeroflot Descended into Fog

    Visibility plunged from 3,000 to 800 metres that night, and the people who saw it logged the change - but never told the crew; 64 of 103 aboard died when an Ilyushin Il-18 struck the ground 210 metres right of the runway at 301 km/h. Who decided to cancel vital weather reports and reverse a diversion order, and why was that information withheld until it was too late?

    In this episode, we tell the sequence of events surrounding Aeroflot Descended 101 on January 4, 1965, and present the documented decisions and omissions that shaped its final minutes. Listen to how delayed departures, an extra senior official in the cockpit, and missing weather updates combined into a single unanswered question: could those lives have been saved if the crew had known what others already did?

    Person: Captain Konstantin Sergeevich Artamonov
    Person: Check Captain Rishat Nurmukhametovich Azakov
    Aircraft: Ilyushin Il-18B, registration CCCP-756685
    Date: January 4, 1965
    Location: Alma-Ata Airport, Soviet Kazakhstan

    - Aircraft struck the ground at 21:01 at a point 210 metres to the right of the runway.
    - Impact speed recorded at 300 kilometres per hour.
    - 64 of the 103 people aboard were killed.
    - Visibility had dropped from 3,000 metres in the last received report to 800 metres at the airport.
    - Three scheduled meteorological reports at 20:00, 20:15, and 20:30 Moscow time were not issued.

  • Penciled Warning: How a Suppressed Report Killed 43 on DC‑6
    2026/10/28
    Penciled Warning: How a Suppressed Report Killed 43 on DC‑6

    A suppressed safety report marked with four penciled words - "Do not discuss with CAA" - preceded a crash that killed 43 people fourteen days later, raising the chilling question: how did documented knowledge about a CO2 hazard vanish before it could save lives? What exactly was buried, and who decided it should stay hidden?

    In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events recorded in the report, the technical details of the Douglas DC-6 fire-suppression system, and who was on United Air Lines Flight 600 when the warning light came on - and then the CO2 was discharged. How did a finding that a test pilot was "almost completely out" after a CO2 release fail to reach the crews who needed to know?

    Person: Earl Carroll
    Person: Beryl Wallace
    Person: Henry L. Jackson
    Event: United Air Lines Flight 600 crash
    Aircraft: Douglas DC-6 (registration NC-37506)

    - The report was dated February 1948 and stamped with the instruction "Do not discuss with CAA."
    - The crash occurred fourteen days after the report was suppressed.
    - Forty-three people died on a hillside near Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania.
    - The DC-6 entered commercial service in 1947 and was grounded by the CAB in November 1947 after two in-flight fires.
    - During a company test, a pilot who discharged the DC-6 CO2 system was described in the report as being "almost completely out" due to CO2 migration into the flight deck.

  • Fog, Misheard Clearance, and 583 Dead: Tenerife's Takeoff That Killed
    2026/10/27
    Fog, Misheard Clearance, and 583 Dead: Tenerife's Takeoff That Killed

    Five hundred and eighty-three people died when a Boeing 747 at full takeoff speed struck another 747 sitting on a fog-covered runway in the Canary Islands - the deadliest accident in aviation history. How did a bomb on a different island, a crowded single-runway airport, and a series of five decisions cascade into a collision nobody saw coming?

    In this episode, we tell the documented record of that afternoon and trace the choices and conditions that led to the disaster, from the bomb at Gran Canaria Airport to the final takeoff roll at Los Rodeos. What sequence of decisions turned routine procedure into an irreversible chain?

    Event: Tenerife runway collision
    Date: 27 March 1977
    Deaths: 583
    Aircraft 1: KLM Flight 4805, registration PH-BUF, named Rijn
    Aircraft 2: Pan Am Flight 1736, registration N736PA, named Clipper Victor

    - At 17:05 on 27 March 1977 a Boeing 747 traveling at full takeoff speed struck another 747 on the ground.
    - KLM Flight 4805 departed Amsterdam carrying 235 passengers, including 52 children; one passenger who disembarked before departure survived.
    - Pan Am Flight 1736 carried 396 passengers, including a group of 53 from Orange County, California; none of those 53 survived.
    - A bomb detonated at Gran Canaria Airport at 13:15, injuring eight people and causing multiple airliners to divert to Los Rodeos.
    - Los Rodeos had a single runway and parallel taxiway; diverted aircraft filled the taxiway forcing backtaxi and leaving a 3.7-meter gap between the two 747s.
