S11E09 Under Pressure (Nigeria Airways Flight 2120)
On July 11, 1991, Nigeria Airways Flight 2120 departs from Jeddah's King Abdulaziz International Airport, carrying 247 Hajj pilgrims and 14 crew members. During takeoff, a tire fails, igniting a fire in the landing gear. Unbeknownst to the crew, they retract the gear, allowing the flames to escalate. As complications arise, the crew attempts to return to the airport; however, the aircraft becomes uncontrollable and ultimately disintegrates in mid-air, crashing approximately three kilometers from the runway.
