One of Our Aircraft Is Missing

EPISODE 124 | One of Our Aircraft Is Missing

A look at a few outstanding cases of plane crashes and disappearances, commercial flights that have gone awry, and some of the weirdness surrounding those mishaps. And, of course, the ones we’ll look at have had conspiracy theories spun about them.

This episode is dedicated to my godson, Vova (or Rusty, as we call him), because he absolutely loves commercial aircraft.
