Description

On June 2, 1983, Air Canada Flight 797 was cruising at 10,000 meters when a seemingly minor electrical issue in the rear washroom escalated into a deadly in-flight fire. As thick, toxic smoke filled the cabin and vital instruments failed, Captain Donald Cameron battled the failing DC9 to make a miraculous emergency landing in Cincinnati just 30 minutes after the first signs of trouble. However, just 90 seconds after touching down, a terrifying flashover explosion consumed the cabin, claiming 23 lives. Licensed to Little Dot Studios.
