- Description
- August 22nd, 1985 — British Airtours Flight #28 is taking off from Manchester Airport for the Greek Island of Corfu. As the aircraft is accelerating, a loud ‘thud’ emanates from the fuselage, and the pilots abandon takeoff. They believe a tire has blown, but passengers on the left side of the plane see the real problem — one of the engines is on fire. Within seconds, thick black smoke fills the cabin, panicked passengers struggle to escape, and just six minutes later, the aircraft is completely ravaged by fire. 55 people die. Can investigators determine how a minor emergency turned into one of the worst disasters in British aviation history?

- Description
- Growing up in the segregated South, Jesse L. Brown was determined to become a Navy pilot. In 1948, he defied the odds to become the first African-American to train as a Navy pilot–and while he was met with predictable hostility, he earned the respect of many of his fellow navy pilots.
On December 4, 1950, African-American Navy pilot Jesse Brown was shot down, behind North Korean enemy lines, during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in the Korean War. Unable to rescue him, his wingman, Lieutenant Thomas J. Hudner Jr, did the unthinkable: he crash-landed his own plane so that he could reach his friend and try to save his life.
