Take to the Sky Episode 137: The Überlingen Midair Disaster

No one could have imagined how a field trip of a lifetime for 54
children could turn into a nightmare within just minutes. But
when two planes collided on July 2, 2002, in the night sky over
the small town of Überlingen, Germany, the disaster forever
changed the families of the lost children and led to the redesign
of an important onboard safety system. Join Shelly in this
episode of Take to the Sky: The Air Disaster Podcast as she
recounts one of the most tragic air disaster stories in aviation
history – and how one father’s grief led to an unspeakable act of
retribution.
