When the most sophisticated machines fail, they do so horrifically, plunging to earth with a terrifying loss of life.

But the truth is, passengers have never been safer because of the brightest minds, best technology, and billions of dollars focused on preventing air disasters. Using famous crashes like TWA Flight 800, we examine safety improvement and what still needs to be done.
