Air Crash Investigation
Air Crash Investigation , also known as Mayday: Air Disasters, is a Canadian production that airs in several countries. In the USA, some episodes are shown in the block called Air Emergency. Air Crash Investigation recreates the greatest air disasters of history and explains exactly what happened. To recreate the disasters, they use dramatic re-enactments of the cockpit and plane. The show also uses excellent 3D animation that recreates everything that happens "outside" of the airplane. Expert pilots and engineers explain what happened: the mistakes of the crew, the bad maintenance and more.

American Airlines Flight 965, heading from Miami International Airport (Florida) to Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport (Cali, Colombia). Plane: Boeing 757 On December 20, 1995, the flight was approaching to Cali. The controllers told them if they wanted to fly a straight-in approach to runway 19. The pilots misinterpreted the word "direct" and they cleared all the approaching way points from the computer. After that, the controller asked them to check back in over Tuluá (an approaching way point). Since they skipped it accidentally, they programmed the computer to head to Rozo. But the plane was re-directed to another place and crashed into the mountain. Why did this happen?
