Episode Overview

On December 27, 1991, Scandinavian Airlines Flight 751 experienced a dramatic crash landing in Gottröra shortly after takeoff, miraculously resulting in no fatalities. The incident was caused by ice accumulation on the wings, which was ingested by both engines, leading to severe internal damage. Compounding the issue, an automatic system designed to boost engine thrust, unknown to the pilots, inadvertently contributed to the engines' malfunction. The event highlighted critical safety oversights and the impact of environmental conditions on aviation.
