On October 31, 1999, the plane dove into the Atlantic Ocean, about 60 miles south of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. The cockpit record proves that the copilot Gameel Al-Batouti deliberately crashed the plane. In this episode are explored the causes of this accident and what did the other pilot do to save the plane. It's also investigated if they misunderstood when Al-Batouti said, and what causes led him to crash the plane into the ocean if he really wanted to do it.
