The aircraft was in perfect working order, the weather was calm, and the pilots had been talking to air traffic control. The flight was supposed to take less than 45 minutes, yet the aircraft never reached its destination. To this day, the incident is shrouded in mystery, yet the few facts that are known, paint a picture so shocking, that it is frankly hard to believe. This is the story of Varig flight 254. ---- 00:00 Intro 00:47 Flight background 01:17 World of Tanks 02:22 Pilots 03:39 Departure 04:40 The first anomaly 05:37 Another anomaly 07:18 Where is Belém? 08:06 Turnback 09:18 Radio Stations and 10:12 A River 11:55 Where are we? 12:28 An unfortunate quirk of physics 13:41 Time is running out 14:45 The crucial error 17:30 Terrible regrets 19:05 Last ditch attempt 20:27 Morse code 21:30 Hope runs out 22:00 Preparations for crashing 22:46 Engines flameout and glide 25:01 Crash Aftermath 26:02 Investigation 27:31 A worrying study 28:08 Changes and consequences 28:54 Thanks!
