Minutes Before Lion Air Flight 610 Crashed | Air Crash Investigation | National Geographic UK

Minutes after a routine domestic flight from Jakarta, Indonesia to Pangkal Pinang, the pilots on-board Lion Air Flight 610 struggle to keep the new Boeing 737 Max nose from pitching down. They soon alert air traffic control of an emergency after encountering difficulties in finding the source of the problem. On the ground, the controller allows the pilots to fly at any altitude they choose, but things quickly turn for the worst when the plane nosedives and begins speeding towards the sea, leaving the pilots without options. Indonesian investigators must now determine why a Boeing 737 Max 8, one of the best-selling new airplanes on the market, plunged into the Java Sea.

Find out what really happened to the now grounded Boeing 737 Max 8 on Air Crash Investigation season 20, starting 5th April at 9pm on National Geographic📺
