We return to our true crime/air disaster story with first officer Gameel Al-Batouti sitting alone in the cockpit of EgyptAir 990. What follows is one of the cruelest, brutal mass murders in history.

Do any of them make enough sense to warrant a second look at the case? On today's episode, Caroline and Justin go into the crash sequence, and discuss the international political fallout that ensued.
