S17 E9: When a warning light indicates an engine flameout, the pilots of American Eagle Flight 3379 abort their landing just minutes before touching down at Raleigh-Durham Airport. But the turboprop won't climb and begins veering off course before slamming to Earth just a few miles from the runway. Only five of the 20 people onboard survive, and it's up to investigators to find out what happened. Puzzled by the wreckage, they take a test flight to the brink of disaster to uncover the astonishing sequence of events that led to the crash.
