Deadly Delivery
S16 E10:
Pilots today are no longer expected to fly if they are tired. Yet, between 1993 and 2013, 15 accidents had been attributed to fatigue. Was the crash of UPS Flight 1354 one of them? We detail the cargo plane's final moments, from the crew's demanding "non-precision approach" to its violent impact just a mile from the runway. Then, we follow NTSB investigators as they study cockpit conversations, run the flight through a simulator, and look into the pilots' hotel activities in hopes of answering why the plane's landing was so badly botched.
