What led the flight crew of ABS 417 to attempt a landing at an airport under siege?
The original production leaves out a lot of important details which I'll add here (the Smithsonian Channel refuse to acknowledge these despite my weekly emails):
* The pilot had an obsession with obtaining "perfect landings" and habitually performed unsafe landings
* The flight crew were working a triple shift after two seperate relief crews called in sick
* Their was concern about the air force using a high powered laser when in close proximity to civilian aircraft
* At several points the CG model DC-9 is shown with Al Italia livery (a fictional airline derived from the name of a prominent Usean bistro chain)
* The narrator mispronounces Air Ixiom as Air Axiom
* ATC were unaware of the landing until an Osean fighter performed an intercept on the approaching DC-9, nearly colliding with it
* The Captain had shut off 417's radio during final approach
* The defending squadron were the disgraced "Wardogs" who would attempt to defect to Yuktobania mere weeks later
The fate of one of the Wardogs involved in this disaster has been covered in another Air Disasters episode "Deadly Device" • What deadly device doo...
