Mayday Season 3 Episode 2
On 22 November 2003, a European Air Transport Airbus A300 operating on behalf of DHL is climbing away from Baghdad International Airport, when the left wing explodes, causing a massive loss of hydraulic fluid which immobilizes the flight control surfaces. The crew flies the aircraft by changing the engines’ thrust for control and make a safe landing 16 minutes later. A surface-to-air missile had been launched at the aircraft.
