How This Plane Caught Fire and Crashed Into The Atlantic | Mayday Air Disaster | S1 EP3

Mayday: Swissair Flight 111 (S1 EP3) dives into the devastating crash that claimed all 229 lives aboard the MD11 over the Atlantic. Less than an hour after takeoff, the pilot smells smoke in the cockpit. What begins as a minor warning quickly escalates into a deadly blaze as fire and complete electrical failure overtake the plane.

Through cockpit voice recordings, expert analysis, and detailed investigation, Mayday uncovers how the fire spread so rapidly and why the crew’s efforts to control it were tragically insufficient. This episode explores the deadly combination of material flammability, system failures, and split-second decisions that turned a routine flight into an unimaginable disaster.
