Mayday: Air Disaster - From Season 16 Episode 1 "Deadly Silence":

En route to Dallas from Orlando, a private Learjet carrying pro golf legend Payne Stewart goes rogue. Air traffic controllers are unable to reach the crew, and as the plane continues its unplanned trajectory across the Midwest, it’s obvious that something has gone terribly wrong. Air Force F-16 fighter planes scramble to intercept the Learjet, but the frosted windows and darkened cockpit and cabin add up to a shocking reality—the Learjet is now a ghost plane.

Every time a plane crashes, the world takes notice, and so do the experts whose job it is to figure out what happened. Mayday uncovers the truth behind the most legendary aviation disasters, and every episode features eyewitness accounts, captivating reenactments, state-of-the-art CGI, and interviews with the investigators who ultimately determined what went wrong.
