Flight 111

“Swissair 1-1-1 is declaring Pan Pan Pan. We have smoke in the cockpit.” Seventeen minutes after the co-pilot’s distress call, Swissair Flight 111—a New York-to-Geneva-bound jet—crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off Peggys Cove, Nova Scotia, killing all 229 people on board. Flight 111 tells the dramatic story of that September 2, 1998 tragedy and explores its far-reaching human consequences.
