Cruising Altitude, No Looking Back - Episode 10

A passenger plane approaches its runway far too fast, forcing an older pilot, Captain Cole, to flip the aircraft and climb backward with a desperate, rare maneuver. The roll buys time but speed remains excessive, sparking an argument when crew members insist on dumping fuel despite scant reserves. They dump fuel to slow the jet, which also eliminates a bailout option, while the right wing bursts into flames and is predicted to explode within minutes. The altimeter falls from 6,000 to 3,000 feet. As the plane slashes toward impact, the crew accuses the old captain of dooming them.
