What happened to MH370? How did Amelia Earhart disappear? When have quick-thinking pilots averted catastrophe and kept hundreds of people alive? And what, if any, are the lessons we have learned from these accidents?

Alternately terrifying and inspiring - Negroni might just cure your fear of flying, and will definitely make you a more informed passenger.
