Synopsis

Mayday (2003), Season 15 is the Canadian air-disaster documentary you can watch online on iFILM — ten episodes, each rebuilding one real crash from black-box data and control-tower tapes.

This run travels across decades and continents. A runway collision at Quincy. A Garuda jet that bounces apart at Yogyakarta. Fire in the hold of UPS Flight 6 over Dubai. Then Asiana 214 falling short of the seawall in San Francisco, El Al 1862 going down outside Amsterdam, TAM 402 dropping into a São Paulo neighbourhood, and the 1961 DC-6 that killed UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld. Investigators take each one apart second by second.

Cineflix has produced Mayday since 2003, and the fifteenth season keeps the same cool method: no theatrics, just flight recorders, reconstructions and the official findings. Best for viewers who came for the engineering, not the shock. Stream Mayday Season 15 online on iFILM.
