Lauda Air 004: Schubumkehr in den Tod
In this podcast episode, the hosts discuss the worst aviation disaster in Austrian history, which occurred on the night of May 26-27, 1991. A Lauda Air Boeing 767 crashed 15 minutes after takeoff in Bangkok, leading to suspicions of a bomb attack due to the aircraft breaking apart in mid-air rather than near the airport. However, the voice recorder from the cockpit was quickly found, providing evidence of something seemingly impossible happening on Lauda Air flight NG 004. The hosts interviewed relatives of the victims, experts, former pilots and flight attendants from Lauda Air, and Boeing accident investigator Kevin Darcy, who was present at the crash site. Pilot Andreas Lampl explains the aerodynamic features of the Boeing 767 and their influence on the flight path, as well as why Niki Lauda's simulator flights were not a credible contribution to the investigation. Former Lauda Air flight attendant Susi Scheithauer shares her experience of a grim task she had a few days after the accident, and experts analyze the atmosphere at the private airline during its early days. The hosts also provide additional resources and videos related to the episode.

Western 2605 - Das Unglück der Nachteule (Warnung vor drastischen Aufnahmen)
In this podcast episode, the hosts discuss the plane crash that occurred in Mexico City on October 31, 1979. A DC-10 aircraft from Western Airlines landed on a runway that was supposed to be closed, colliding with a dump truck and crashing into a hangar. 72 out of 88 people on board the plane, as well as the driver of the truck, were killed in the accident. The Mexican investigators quickly blamed the American cockpit crew for the tragedy, but the circumstances surrounding the crash are still unclear. The hosts interview Eduardo Valenciana, a former flight attendant who was on board that night and believes that the airport and air traffic controllers share a significant part of the blame. They also speak with Fokko Doyen, an experienced pilot who flew the successor model to the DC-10, and discuss the challenges of landing in Mexico City and how pilots deal with extreme fatigue and runway closures. The episode ends with the hosts encouraging listeners to subscribe to the podcast, recommend it to others, and leave positive reviews.
