This is one accident that really speaks for itself. It’s a stunning tale of how one small mistake, birthed from the need to navigate a perceived threat from an old design flaw, how a simple accident quickly transformed into something truly monstrous. What happened here is, in every sense of the word, horrific. Pure terror, and none of it had to happen. In this episode of Disaster Breakdown, I tell you the tale of Air Canada Flight 621.
