  An investigator tags one of the thousands of pieces littering the runway at Taiwan's Chiang Kai-Shek International Airport after Singapore Airlines Flight 006 crashed during take off for a flight to Los Angeles. Much of the wreckage is on a runway adjacent to the one the crew was assigned. Investigators must determine if the wreckage was blown onto the unused runway during a violent storm, or if the crew somehow ended up on the wrong runway.

  The trail of debris, along with tire tracks on Runway 5R tellsInvestigator Kae Yong (played by Frank Nakashima) that Singapore Airlines Flight 006 collided with construction equipment on an unused runway at Taiwan's Chiang Kai-Shek Airport on October 31, 2000. The pilots insist they were on the correct runway while taking off for Los Angeles during a powerful typhoon. Investigators from Taiwan's Aviation Safety Council must now piece together the clues to determine how the crew could have made such a deadly mistake.

  After turning onto the wrong runway due to poor weather conditions, Singapore Airlines Flight 006 heads directly into construction equipment causing the plane to crash killing 83 people on October 31, 2000.

  The Boeing 747 skids across the runway after the plan unexplainably crashes during take off from Taoyuan International Airpor on October 31, 200. With more then 125,000 kilograms of fuel in the wings, the plane ingnite into flames.

  Fierce winds and rain pound the wreckage of Singapore Airlines Flight 006 on the night of October 31, 2000. Two surviving passengers run to safety after the Boeing 747 breaks into pieces and errupts into flames after hitting construction equipment while taking off from Taiwan's Chiang Kai-Shek International Airport. Investigators conclude that the pilots were so pre-occupied with the high winds, that they didn't notice they had lined up on a runway that was closed for repairs on the night of the accident.

  Invesigators located the flight data recorder in the wreckage of Singapore Airlines Flight 006 at the Toayuan Interntional Airport in Taiwan. The Boeing 747 crashed while taking off during a violent Typhoon the night before. Investigators hope the Black Box will explain how the passenger jet collided with construction equipment on a runway adjacent to the one the crew was assigned.

  Investigators from Taiwan's Aviation Safety Council search the runway at Taipei's Airport for clues to determine the cause of the crash of a Boeing 747-412 that lost control while taking off during a violent typhoon on October 31, 2000. The plane was destroyed and 83 people were killed in the accident. The pilots reported that they collided with something on the runway, now investigators have to figure out what they hit.

  Investigator Kae Yon (played by Frank Nakashima) tries to piece together what happened to Singapore Airlines Flight 006. The Boeing 747 with 159 passengers and 20 crewmembers onboard crashed during take off on October 31, 2000. Investigators note that the runway is littered with debris from the airplane, and with pieces of construction equipment. Did the construction equipment get blown into the plane's path, or did the plane somehow end up on the wrong runway?

  Investigator Kae Yong (played by Frank Nakashima) inspects some construction equipment on the unused runway adjacent to the one that Singapore Airlines Flight 006 was taking off from before it crashed killing 83 passengers and crew members. The heavy equipment is badly mangled, suggesting it was hit by the 747. Investigators need to figure out how an experienced crew ended up taking off from a runway that was closed for repairs.

  Runway 5R at Taiwan's Chiang Kai-Shek International Airport has been closed for repairs for months. Somehow a Boeing 747 collided with the heavy equipment being used for the repairs on the night of October 31, 2000. Investigator Kae Yong (played by Frank Nakashima) from Taiwan's Aviation Safety Council inspects the wreckage to help understand how the passenger jet, with 179 people on board collided with the construction equipment, killing 83 people.

  Invesitgator's look at similar plane crashes that have occurred to determine what went wrong when Singapore Airlines Flight 006 crashed on October 31, 2000, like when Skywest Metroline was crushed by a US Air 737 at LAX in 1991.

  While investigating the Singapore Airlines Flight 006 crash, investigators looked at similar crashes that may explain what happened to the aircraft. Investigators looked at a crash that occured in Italy, when a SAS MD87 hit a Cessna that was crossing the runway at the wrong time.

  After hitting construction equipment while taking off in a typhoon on Ocotber 31, 2000, Sinapore Airlines Flight 006 skids across the runway and bursts into flames killing 83 people on board. Invetigators blame the poor weather conditions, as well as the airport for providing inadequate warning that one of the runways was out of service.
