Queens Air Crash (S03E09)

Over two months have passed since the tragic events of 9/11, and the nation remains on edge. At JFK Airport in Queens, American Airlines Flight 587, an Airbus A300, takes off for a three-and-a-half-hour journey to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Shortly after departing, the plane crashes into the Rockaway area of Queens, home to many still reeling from the previous tragedy. The crash claims the lives of 257 individuals. Was this yet another act of terrorism, or a tragic malfunction?
