“Foster Aviation had issued misleading safety bulletins related to the operational safety of its SE-10 helicopters worldwide.”
Dr. Maryam Bayat, a renowned air crash investigator, is accused of mishandling an investigation into a helicopter carrying oil rig workers that had fallen out of the sky, plunging into the North Sea, killing everyone on board.
The conspiracy begins in this prologue episode to ‘Flight 1971’ of a billion-dollar aviation corporation as it attempts to suppress knowledge of the crash by destroying the reputation of Dr. Maryam Bayat.
