SAS Flight #686 Boeing MD-87 October 8th, 2001 A heavy fog blankets Milan's Linate Airport as SAS Flight #686 prepares for a routine flight to Copenhagen. Facing almost zero-visibility, the pilots rely entirely on ground controllers as they navigate into position for takeoff. The plane accelerates down the runway, but as it lifts off it collides with a Cessna in its path. The Cessna erupts in flames. The MD-87 slams to the ground and slides into an baggage hangar. The plane explodes on impact. It is the worst accident in Italian aviation history and the investigation uncovers a shocking series of errors. In the aftermath, an airport is transformed and those deemed responsible are sentenced in court.
