On July 19, 1989, United Airlines Flight 232 was cruising at 37,000 feet when an engine failure triggered something the DC-10 was never supposed to experience: the loss of all three hydraulic systems.

With conventional flight controls effectively gone, Captain Al Haynes and his crew had to learn how to fly the aircraft all over again—using little more than the thrust from its two remaining engines. For more than forty minutes, they fought to reach Sioux City while flight attendants prepared 285 passengers for what was coming and emergency crews mobilized below.

What followed became one of the most studied aviation disasters in history.

In the first episode of Chain of Events, we follow Flight 232 from an ordinary afternoon over Iowa through the catastrophic failure, the extraordinary attempt to control the aircraft, the crash at Sioux City, the rescue operation, and the investigation that traced the disaster back nearly eighteen years.

296 people were aboard. 185 survived.

This is the story of the failures, decisions, preparation, improvisation, and chance that shaped what happened next.

One event leads to another. This is Chain of Events.
