Air Crash Investigation: The Plane That Wouldn't Talk (2006)

The Plane That Wouldn't Talk: Birgenair Flight 301

Birgenair Flight 301 is scheduled to fly from Puerto Plata to Frankfurt. On takeoff, the captain finds that his air speed indicator (ASI) is not reading properly, though the co-pilot's ASI is showing the correct speed. Both pilots become confused and believe that both ASIs are malfunctioning. They lose control of the aircraft and it crashes in the Atlantic. All 13 crew members and 176 passengers die.
