Description
Hold onto your hats, because this flight is about to literally turn upside-down. In 1994, an unassuming FedEx flight from Memphis became the scene of one of the most dramatic, violent, and ultimately heroic scenes in aviation history. One man with a guitar case full of weapons had a homicidal plan, and he would prove to stop at nothing to carry it out. The only thing standing between the crew and their certain death was bravery, hand-to-hand combat, and the most daring arial maneuvers ever executed on a DC-10. Join Caroline and Patrick as they discuss this harrowing and unbelievable event, and develop an irrational fear of hammers.
