The third programme in the series on air disasters examines the deadly effects of tiny flaws in ground maintenance. Examples cited are a Japanese 747 which took over half an hour to fall to earth killing five hundred and twenty passengers in 1985 and a DC10 which crashed whilst trying to land at Sioux City Airport killing one hundred people.
