Flying a plane takes every ounce of a pilot’s concentration, especially when it’s time for landing, but even with laser focus things can still go wrong.

Meanwhile the plane kept descending until it was below the safe altitude…

Find out why two experienced pilots made this rookie mistake in Air Crash Investigation: Special Report. Mondays at 8pm, on National Geographic UK. 📺
