On 1 July 2002, BAL Bashkirian Airlines Flight 2937 from Moscow hit a DHL cargo plane mid air above the German town on Überlingen, near the Swiss border. There were no survivors. How could a tragedy like this occur? Were the pilots to blame? Was the air-traffic controller at fault? Were the planes suffering technical difficulties? Listen now to Geordie’s take on this tragedy and the devastating consequences in the aftermath.

When we board a plane, how do we know who’s really behind the wheel? On 23 March 1994, Aeroflot 593 departed Moscow for Hong Kong. The plane never arrived. As one of the most avoidable air crashes in aviation history, what really happened on that flight to send the plane crashing into a Siberian mountain range? Was it a flight-system malfunction? Pilot incompetence? Or were there kids in the cockpit that put the plane on a flight path to f*cked? It’s a harrowing ride, so fasten your seatbelts and adopt the brace position for Michelle’s deep dive into this terrible tragedy.

So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit-chat aboutMAFS UK, Christmas food and more, only onEavesdroppin’ podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keepEavesdroppin’!
