Last Flight: More Airliner Weirdness

EPISODE 125 | Last Flight: More Airliner Weirdness

While it's totally normal that things break, sometimes there is also some kind of secret or mystery around something as monumental as an airplane crash or disappearance. And so lots of "theories" get spun, some by those who have lost someone dear to them, others by those who seek to profit from the disaster. 

This follow-up episode to our previous one about airplanes, One of Our Aircraft Is Missing, is likewise dedicated to my godson, Vova, or Rusty, who just loves, loves, loves, loves commercial aircraft.
