Global Airlines Flight 107

Yet what makes
Flight 1015 unique

is the number of unusual details
surrounding its disappearance,

starting with Captain Donner.

DONNER [over intercom]:
We're pretty confident
of a nice, smooth flight

over the pond
and on to Tel Aviv, so...

Hey, did the pilot just say
his name was Captain Donner?

What?

Just... Never mind.

RODMAN: Captain Donner noted
to air traffic control

the presence of a flock of
cormorants near Flight 1015.

In aviation circles,
a dead bird is a harbinger

So what do we really know

[thunder rumbling]

RODMAN: Chapter three:
"Every Detail Counts."

With a tragedy as enormous
as Flight 1015,

it's devastating
to think of the cost.

117 lives lost
when the pilot signed off

from air traffic control

and the flight disappeared from
radar over the North Atlantic.

Without any forensic evidence,

we have to start
looking for patterns,

looking for clues,

small signs that could tell us
the bigger problem.

Most famous aviation mysteries
come from small beginnings:

a mechanical failure,
or fire in one of the cabins,

leading the crew to panic
and to bring the plane down.

The passengers would've looked
to the flight attendants

and known immediately
that something was wrong.

We know that the cockpit
of this particular aircraft

was equipped with cameras

that allowed the passengers
to watch the flight crew

through multiple monitors.

If the pilot were doing
something unusual,

it's likely that the whole cabin
would have noticed and reacted.

What seems more likely is
the idea that it was something

truly unexpected and unique.

As the plane flew close
to a thunderstorm,

the pilot would need
to calmly communicate

with his fellow crew and keep
the flight under control.

Was there something on board

that could've disrupted
the plane's communications?

[quiet chatter]

TANVEERA:

TAMMY:

[seat belt clicks]

RODMAN:
Without any forensic evidence
to analyze,

we have to consider
other records

left behind by Flight 1015.

This includes
the passenger manifest.

And one infamous individual

at the front of the plane
immediately stands out:

Russian citizen Igor Orlov.

Igor was in witness protection

and was taking Flight 1015
to Tel Aviv

in order to testify
against the Russian mafia.

We know the Russian mob would do
anything in their power

to prevent Orlov
from testifying.

Is it possible that
they targeted Flight 1015

in order to kill him?

Another detail
might fill in the picture.

Also listed on the passenger
manifest is a U.S. air marshal.

Was he on board the flight
in order to protect Igor Orlov?

Would he be able to tell us
of any threats to the aircraft?

Excuse me.

Hi.I am very sorry

about everything
from before, but, um...

...I really need to talk
to the air marshal.

I don't know that there's one
aboard this flight.

Uh, there is.

Okay?You know that?

Yeah. I do.Okay.

Mr. Sanderson, I don't know

that there's an air marshal
aboard this flight.

They don't notify the captain of
the presence of an air marshal.

They definitely don't tell
the flight attendants.

Okay, yeah, no, I get it.

I get it.

You get it?

I get it. Thank you.

Could you do me a huge favor
and just-just sit?

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thank you.

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

Look, I know you

Mm-hmm.

But you're an air

Listen, I'm an investigative

that an air marshal

is gonna look a lot like

I'm not an air marshal.

What-what do you want me
to tell you?

I don't know.
Uh, I'm...

sorry to disappoint you,

of the puzzle,

yet are left
with no definite answer.

With minutes left until it would

it seems the passengers and crew

were completely unaware
of what would happen next.

The plane was
threading a needle,

perilously close

for an unknown destination.

Could anything have been done

"The Mystery of Flight 1015,

Part Two: The End of Civility."

The first installment
in this bizarre story

was our most popular
podcast to date.

And when we last left you,

we thought we had told the tale
of an unexplained mystery

so bizarre it would be left
to historians to unravel.

Rescuers spent months
after the plane's disappearance

looking for debris,

hoping to find signs
of survivors.

The search would
go on for months,

but to no avail.

Until a cargo ship happened
upon a near-barren atoll.

And incredibly,

every passenger
from Flight 1015 had survived,

except one.

None of the survivors
could explain it,

but Justin Sanderson
was missing,

his whereabouts,
still to this day, unknown.

Hey, buddy.

Hey.

Hey, where you going?

[quiet murmuring]

That's him.
Is that him?

Hey, I tried to save us.

Justin, you did this.

How could you do this?

What did you people do, huh?!
Nothing!

What did you do?!
Get away from me!

Get away!

How could you do this, asshole?!No! No!

[angry clamoring]

[clamoring fades]

In his final moments,
Justin Sanderson made the case

that he did everything he could
to avert disaster.

But in the end,
he was an investigative reporter

unwilling to
investigate himself,

until it was too late.

Justin discovered
that the flight path to hell

is paved with good intentions,

and it passes directly...

through The Twilight Zone.
