New episodes of Air Crash Investigations return next week on Nat Geo.

There are 4 episodes in this second half of S17.

The episode on June 15 features a famous Australian air incident from 2008.

En route from Singapore to Perth, Qantas Airways Flight 72 takes a sudden nosedive over the Indian Ocean. Sudden G-forces are so violent passengers are lifted out of their seats. A series of over-speed and stall warnings flood the cockpit display, and it’s clear something is terribly wrong. An experienced fighter pilot, the captain manages to safely land the plane. It’s up to Australian investigators to uncover the mysterious and potentially deadly malfunction that’s putting one of the world’s most popular planes at risk.

Air Crash Investigations series – takes legendary aviation disasters and incidents, eyewitness accounts and state of the art CGI to investigate and determine what really went wrong.

Friday June 15th at 8.30pm on Nat Geo.

  1. Either Nat Geo or Channel Seven have their season number wrong, because Seven are also playing “season 17” on Monday nights, but their episodes are from the previous season to Nat Geo’s newest episodes.

    1. Photo of a Qantas aircraft because S17 has an ep. on Qantas QF72. The show is not always about crashes. Qantas had 14 crashes with 106 fatalities prior to 1952, but none since jets were introduced.
      This seems like a repeat of S13E10 – Qantas 32 Titanic In The Sky.

    2. The show is actually called ‘Mayday’ but there are several markets around the world (including Australia) where for whatever reason it’s re-badged as ‘Air Crash Investigation’
