The Mount Erebus Crash of Flight NZ901 - Antarctica Sightseeing Gone Wrong

Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this episode, I discuss the crash of plane flight NZ901 into Mount Erebus. The Air New Zealand flight was on a sightseeing trip to Antarctica when it seemingly inexplicably crashed directly into Mount Erebus. I discuss what happened, the causes and the controversy which still continues.
