Three puzzling incidents prompt investigators to search for answers, ultimately revealing a common link: the fuel tank. Just moments before landing in Portland, United Airlines Flight 173 experiences a catastrophic failure, losing all four engines above a crowded residential area. Meanwhile, a Boeing 737 in Japan manages a safe landing but unexpectedly ignites while all 165 passengers and crew are still inside.
