Take to the Sky Episode 058: Swissair Flight 111 - a podcast by Shelly Price and Stephanie Hubka

By the time Swissair Flight 111 reached its cruising altitude in the evening hours of September 2, 1998, there was no reason to expect anything other than a safe flight. Less than an hour after takeoff, a strange smell in the cockpit indicated something was wrong- and it would take more than four years before the world would know exactly what that was. In this week's episode of Take to the Sky: the Air Disaster Podcast, Stephanie walks us through what happened and what we learned from a disaster whose legacy shaped aviation as we know it today.
