Part 4/9:

As flight 1008 descended, it became apparent that another aircraft—a slower Iberia turbo-prop—was ahead in the landing sequence. The air traffic controller, lacking radar capabilities, opted to place Dan Air Flight 1008 into a makeshift holding pattern. Unfortunately, the controller's improvised instructions contained a critical error. Instead of clearly directing the pilots to turn left in a standard holding pattern, the controller incorrectly stated, "turn to the left," which caused considerable confusion among the flight crew.
