Britannia Airways Flight 266A
It's 9:25 at night and a holiday flight from Cardiff to the Costa Brava has hit a terrifying electrical storm. The Britannia Airways airliner is battling the elements as it attempts to land. But just feet from the ground the runway lights fail, the airport is plunged into darkness, and the crew must land the flight blind.
The result is one of the most terrifying crashes in aviation history.
On board the Boeing 757 are 236 passengers who experience the nightmare of a flight that crashes, is violently torn apart and skids for over a mile, off the runway. The wreckage travels so far that the emergency services are initially unable to even find the survivors.
In this episode we explore the remarkable story of Britannia Airways Flight 266A, told by those who survived. Using vivid dramatic reconstruction, state-of-the-art special effects and first-hand testimony, Channel 5 takes viewers into the cabin and the cockpit as passengers experience the flight where no one emerged unscathed.

The fast-paced, drama-filled docu-series follows six Charleston singles — Craig Conover, Cameran Eubanks, Jenna King, Thomas Ravenel, Shepard "Shep" Rose, and Whitney Sudler Smith — struggling with the constraints of this tight-knit, posh society. The cast, some descendants of Vice Presidents and four-term Senators, and others from "new money," is comprised of Southern bachelors who suffer from "Peter Pan Syndrome" by refusing to settle down; and the women in their lives who challenge them to grow up. Viewers will see them launch political careers, build businesses, break hearts, and chase true love -- all while struggling to preserve their family names. Because in Charleston, you're only as good as your last garden party and one social screw-up can taint generations to come.
