Hanging by a Thread
April 1998 – Aloha Airlines Flight 243 takes off from Maui for a short island hop to Honolulu. The flight and cabin crew are experienced and have worked together for years. The Boeing 737 takes off under clear and sunny conditions, but when the plane reaches its cruising altitude of 24000 feet, the pilots hear a loud bang. What has happened is incredible, a huge chunk of the plane’s roof and walls is missing, right down to the passengers’ feet. They are flying in a convertible! Luckily for the ninety-five passengers aboard, their seat belts are still fastened. But one of the flight attendants isn’t so lucky, she has been sucked out of the plane. Her body is never found. Donning their oxygen masks, the pilots struggle to control a plane that is suddenly in danger of breaking in two. In the cockpit, the noise of the wind makes it necessary for the crew to communicate with hand signals. They know they have to get the plane down to a safe altitude quickly or the passengers will begin to suffer from oxygen starvation, and ultimately die. However, they don’t know if the seriously damaged plane’s landing gear is operational. One of the warning lights has not come on. The flight crew has no choice, but to risk it. Miraculously, the plane lands safely and all survive. For once, the cause of the accident is immediately apparent. The plane had been so poorly maintained, and had been worked so hard, that the body panels had become unstuck. One of the passengers had even spotted a large crack in the hull as she boarded the plane, but had been too nervous to mention it! But what caused the fuselage to suddenly give way? A startling theory links it to the tragic disappearance of the flight attendant.

Attack Over Baghdad
November 22, 2003 – It was supposed to be a routine “mail drop” for the DHL cargo plane. A war is going on, but they are just there to carry the soldiers’ letters from home. The three-man flight crew took off from Baghdad’s Saddam Hussein Airport without a hitch. Shortly after take off, an anti-aircraft missile fired by terrorists on the ground hit the Airbus A300. The flight crew was thrown into the fight of and for their lives. It was all witnessed on camera from a passing military helicopter, now seen for the first time. A wing was on fire and all the hydraulics were gone. The omens were not good: No one in history had ever managed to fly and land a commercial plane so badly damaged. The flight crew’s performance under fire is unequalled in modern aviation history

A team of field investigators uncovers the clues that will recreate vanished or hidden worlds. They use the latest research, expert analysis and cutting edge graphic technology to take us back. The 1st century AD. In the aftermath of Jesus' crucifixion barely a hundred of his followers survive. Persecuted by the authorities, they are a cult on the verge of extinction. Yet within a few decades the new religion of Christianity will have thousands of believers spread around the Mediterranean and across the Roman Empire. The man responsible is St Paul. Once a fanatical persecutor of Jesus' followers, he undergoes a miraculous conversion, and gives his life to spreading the gospel. We revisit the places that were first to hear Paul's message and were altered forever.
