S12E1 Fight for Control (Reeve Aleutian Airways Flight 8)

On June 8, 1983, Reeve Aleutian Airways Flight 8 experienced a catastrophic failure when its propeller detached mid-flight over Cold Bay, Alaska, resulting in explosive decompression and a critical loss of control. Despite the terrifying circumstances, the flight crew skillfully navigated the situation and successfully landed the plane in Anchorage, Alaska. The missing propeller plunged into the ocean, and the exact reasons behind its separation remain unknown.
