Fresh off the factory floor, a sleek $25 million Legacy business jet takes-off on its maiden voyage from Southern Brazil to New York. An hour into the flight the plane is powering through the skies over the Amazon Rain Forest. Suddenly a violent jolt rocks the jet. Passengers look out the window and see that part of the plane’s wing has been sheared off. The crew desperately needs a place to land. They spot a remote Army base with a runway long enough for their plane. They come in fast, but manage to bring the plane safely to a stop. But just when they think their troubles are over, the situation gets stranger. The passengers and crew are detained and interrogated by police. Another plane, a Boeing 737 with 154 people on board has crashed nearby. Everyone on board was killed. Investigators make a horrifying discovery – the Legacy jet and the 737 collided in mid-air. How had two planes under the authority of Brazilian Air Traffic Control ended up on a collision course? The investigation would uncover a string of technological and human errors that would lead to criminal charges and an unprecedented crisis in Brazilian aviation. (iTunes)
