This episode examines the tragic crash of Southern Airways Flight 242 on April 4, 1977, after the aircraft encountered a powerful thunderstorm. Severe hail and torrential rain damaged the aircraft and caused both engines to fail, leaving the crew without power.
Forced into an emergency landing on a rural highway, the aircraft struck vehicles and a gas station before crashing and catching fire, resulting in 72 fatalities. The disaster highlighted serious weaknesses in weather detection and severe-weather procedures, leading to major improvements in weather radar technology and engine management during heavy precipitation.
