On this bonus season of Air Crash Investigation, every episode examines multiple cases under a central theme: Rookie Errors reveals the minor mistakes behind some of the worst-ever airline disasters; Collision Course follows the scramble to prevent yet another midair impact; and, on Fuel Failures, a mysterious trail of clues ultimately leads to the fuel tank.
