Mayday: Air Disaster From Season 17 Episode 10 "The Lost Plane": Bound for Kathmandu, Thai Airways Flight 311 is flying just above the peaks of the Himalayas when it slams into a remote rock face at 11,000 feet. The crash site is nowhere near the plane’s original flight path, and there is no ATC radar to tell investigators where it might be. After a painstaking search, they discover the aircraft crashed in the mountains north of Kathmandu—a place of treacherous peaks where it never should have been. The crucial question is how did it end up there?

Experts analyse various plane crashes with the aim to figure out how these disasters occurred. They also shed light on how such accidents shaped the aviation industry and improved safety standards.
