Part 1/8:
The Tragic Story of Swiss Air Flight 111
On the fateful night of September 2, 1998, Swiss Air Flight 111 took off from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, embarking on a transatlantic voyage to Geneva, Switzerland. Onboard were 215 passengers and 14 crew members, many of whom were United Nations officials. As the aircraft cruised comfortably at 33,000 feet, no one could have predicted the impending disaster that would forever change aviation safety standards.
