Mayday: Air Disaster - From Season 7 Episode 1 "Scratching the Surface": Twenty minutes after taking off from Taipei, a China Airlines 747 suddenly disappears from radar. A massive rescue mission is launched — but all 225 passengers and crew are dead.

After ruling out both a bomb and a gas tank explosion, investigators are stumped. They examine hundreds of pieces of wreckage, until they uncover a single piece of the hull which solves the riddle. The destruction of Flight 611 began with a much smaller problem — twenty years in the past.
