Terror at 30,000 Feet: Temporada 1, Episódio 2

1 - 2: Qantas Flight 32

It's 10:01 and passengers aboard the regular flight from London to Sydney find themselves in the middle of a crisis. A once-in-a-lifetime trip is on the brink of becoming a tragedy. The engine has exploded and chunks of the plane are plummeting onto the residents below the flight path.

The Airbus 380 at the heart of the crisis is the largest passenger aircraft in the world. With an 80m wingspan, state of the art computer systems and a hugely experienced crew this was supposed to be a cruise through the air.

But instead, it is fire in the skies.

In this episode we explore the remarkable story of Qantas Flight 32 from 2010, told by those who were on board, featuring exclusive interviews with the pilot, cabin crew and passengers, who recount the terrifying reality of a flight on the brink of catastrophe.

Using vivid dramatic reconstruction, state-of-the-art special effects and first-hand testimony, Channel 5 takes viewers into the cabin and the cockpit as passengers and crew experience the flight that flew into terror.
