It’s the night of February 24th, 1989, and a living nightmare is unfolding over the dark Pacific Ocean. There has been a massive explosion on board a United Airlines Boeing 747, carrying over 350 passengers and crew. An enormous hole has opened up in the side of the aircraft, and the oxygen masks have dropped, but nobody - not even the pilots, can use them. The captain begins diving towards the ocean to get to a more breathable altitude, but his engines are catching fire, and he’s having trouble controlling the aircraft. In the cabin, nine passengers are missing. With more critical systems being lost by the minute, how will the crew be able to wrangle their jumbo jet back to the airport? This is the harrowing story of United Airlines flight 811.
