Dead Tired

S18 E4: Colgan Air Flight 3407 prepares to land in Buffalo after a short, 50-minute hop from Newark. Suddenly, the twin-engine turboprop takes on a mind of its own, pitching and rolling before finally crashing into a house near the airport. All 49 people aboard the flight are killed, along with one ground fatality, making it the worst crash in the U.S. in more than seven years. It would be followed by one of the NTSB’s most important investigations and prompt a grieving father to fight for changes to the laws governing small airlines.
