EMERGENCY Landing On A Rural Highway | Southern Airways Flight 242 | Mayday: Air Disaster

Southern Airways Flight 242 has been caught in the storm. They try to escape, but hail the size of baseballs damages the plane. After managing to escape the storm, the pilots search for a place to land because both of their engines have failed. The pilots decide to land on Georgia State Highway 92, a rural road. Why did the onboard radar guide Flight 242 through the worst part of the storm? From Season 5 Episode 6 "Southern Storm": April 4, 1977 — A DC-9 takes off in heavy rain for a 25-minute flight from Huntsville to Atlanta, Georgia. The flight crew is expecting some turbulence but is unprepared for the increasingly dangerous weather. Using their onboard radar the crew navigates towards a break in the storm. But within minutes, hail the size of baseballs is beating down on the aircraft. The cockpit’s thick windshield cracks. Suddenly the aircraft loses electrical power, and then, both engines fail. If the crew can’t get to an airport, they’re going to crash. The plane finally emerges from the storm near the town of New Hope Georgia – but they’ve fallen too far to reach an airport. First Officer Lyman Keele directs his Captain to start looking for a place to land. Investigators must determine why the pilots flew into such a severe storm, and what caused the engines to fail. They learn that the pilots used their onboard radar to find a safe exit from the intensifying storm. Welcome to the OFFICIAL Mayday: Air Disaster YouTube Channel.
