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.
