The world’s largest passenger jet climbs out of Singapore on a routine training flight. Four minutes later, an explosion inside one engine sends debris tearing through the wing — and for several minutes, a fire burns inside it that not one person flying the plane ever knows about. Join Alice and Zach for the story of five pilots, one badly damaged A380, and the manufacturing flaw the size of a few sheets of paper that started it all.
