TV-14Synopsis
Mayday (2003), Season 25 is the crash-investigation documentary you can watch online on iFILM — eleven episodes marking a quarter-century of the same patient question: what actually went wrong. This is the show at its most assured.
The cases range wide. Sriwijaya Air 182 rolling hard left into the Java Sea. A Loganair cargo flight losing both engines seconds out of Edinburgh and going down in the freezing North Sea. Two aircraft colliding in the night over Überlingen, a tragedy that left German investigators with no easy answer. US Air 1493 ablaze on the tarmac after a runway collision at LAX, passengers fighting to get out. There's even a C-130 firebomber that goes down inside an active Australian wildfire, forcing investigators to work the scene as it still burns.
Twenty-five seasons in, the tone hasn't drifted, and that's the point — facts first, drama never bolted on. Stream Mayday Season 25 online on iFILM.
