UPS 2976 Crash Investigation

On November 4, 2025, less than a month ago, at 17:14, UPS Flight 2976, an MD-11F cargo aircraft, took off from Louisville International Airport in Kentucky on its way to Honolulu, Hawaii. Minutes later it caught fire. The aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff and was almost completely destroyed. All three pilots were killed. Eleven people on the ground were killed. Twenty-three others were injured. Security cameras at the airport captured something almost unimaginable: the left engine, engine number 1 out of 3, together with the pylon connecting it to the wing, simply detached. Seconds after takeoff. The burning engine fell to the ground, and the fire continued to spread around the engine-to-wing attachment area until the moment of impact. So what’s new now? In the last few days, the NTSB released its preliminary investigation report. It raises difficult, painful and important questions. What really caused the engine to detach from the wing? What is still unclear even after hundreds of hours of investigation? And why, despite the aircraft having three engines, could the remaining two not help? Have an idea for an episode?

Air India 171 Crash Investigation

On June 12, Air India Flight 171 took off from Ahmedabad, India, heading to London, and crashed in less than a minute. Moments after one of the pilots made the emergency call 'Mayday,' the plane crashed into a residential neighborhood in western India. Only one passenger survived. Shortly after, the black boxes were found, and the cockpit recordings revealed one haunting question: Who shut down the engines and why? The initial report, which was supposed to provide answers, only raised more questions. So what really happened? Was it a technical malfunction, human error, or something else entirely?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
