From Season 9 Episode 6 "Cold Case": March 10th, 1989 — Bound for Winnipeg, Air Ontario Flight #1363 prepares for takeoff after a brief layover in Dryden, a remote Northern airport. Already an hour behind schedule, the pilots fear the heavy snowfall will further delay their departure, and after refueling, they taxi into position and accelerate.

The crash sparks one of the biggest transportation investigations in Canadian history – including a judicial inquiry – and since the flight’s data recorders are too damaged to be of any use, investigators rely heavily on eyewitness reports.

It takes years to unravel the myriad factors that led to the crash, but investigators eventually uncover a fatal flaw in the aircraft’s wing design making it prone to ice build-up and therefore susceptible to stalling.

Featuring news footage, interviews, and gripping reenactments, MAYDAY investigates legendary aviation disasters to find out what went wrong and why. Each episode provides a compelling, in-depth look at one particular aspect of air safety.
