S5E5 Invisible Killer (Delta Air Lines Flight 191)

During the summer of 1985, Delta Flight 191 was rerouted to avoid a thunderstorm, but it unexpectedly encountered severe wind shear, causing it to crash. The aircraft descended rapidly and caught fire at the front, resulting in the loss of over 130 lives in this heartbreaking incident. This tragedy ultimately led to the identification and eradication of an unseen threat in aviation safety.
