In the early hours of October 2nd, 1996, a Peruvian 757 crashed into the Pacific Ocean, killing everyone on board. The pilots had relayed to Air Traffic Control that the instruments which tell them their altitude and speed were not working. What could have caused this critical malfunction, and was there any way the plane would have been saved? This video uses audio from the aircraft's cockpit voice recorder, and findings from the official accident report to recreate the series of events that led to the crash.
