Seconds after takeoff from St Louis, Missouri, the engine of an American Airlines MD-82 erupts into flames. Alarm bells ring loudly in the cockpit, as the pilots grapple with the emergency. But they soon discover that this is no normal emergency. Within moments, the captain’s instruments fail, and the aircraft begins to lose vital systems. Will the crew be able to make it back to the airport, or will the fire spell disaster for everybody on board?

This is the story of American airlines flight 1400.
