BURSTING into flames over the ocean | The REAL story of South African 295
🕑 Added 2023-01-22 21:57:16 +0000 UTCOn a pitch black night miles above the Indian ocean, a fire rages on board a fully loaded Boeing 747.
140 terrified passengers rush to the front of the cabin in a desperate bid to escape the suffocating smoke. The pilots put the aircraft into a terrifying dive, desperately fighting to get their aircraft on the ground. Will they be able to make it to a small island in the middle of the ocean, or will the flames consume their chances? This is the horrifying story of South African Airways flight 295. And it’s a story with a puzzling twist.

Good question! I'm not sure whether they continued carrying illegal cargo after this, but I'll definitely look into doing a follow-up episode. Thanks for the suggestion :)
I'm curious whether, to our knowledge, whether SAA continued carrying arms illegally on their airline after the flight? And did it suffer repercussions as a result of carrying arms on this flight? There's so much to this disaster, I encourage you to consider a squeal to this video.
