About this episode

The episode discusses the mysterious circumstances surrounding Helios Flight 522, which was found unresponsive in the air with all passengers motionless.

When two fighter jets came to check on the unresponsive Helios Flight 522, they were stunned at what they saw: all 115 passengers, lying motionless in their seats. Even worse – the pilot’s seat was empty, and the co-pilot lay slumped over the control panel. The commercial plane was drifting along at 34,000 feet, on autopilot – and fuel was running out.
