Detailing the events of 25 July, 2000, when Air France Concored Flight 4590 crashed shortly after taking off from Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris, resulting in the deaths of 113 people.

This documentary reveals how French investigators used this curious collection of clues to determine the cause.
