Knowing what is right seems to have deep evolutionary roots and may actually be an innate part of human nature. But if that's true, if we are all born with a moral sense what happens then to those of us who go against that? Join us as we look beyond evil for an answer.

August 24, 2015 16:39 - 20 minutes - 18.5 MBIt has been almost 18 months since MH370 vanished and still most questions about its whereabouts and what happened aboard the Boeing 777 remain unanswered. We spent the past few weeks ruling out catastrophic failure and human error as the most likely scenario, but what about a hijacking? Could someone have hijacked MH370 and its 239 passengers and crew on board? Did someone interfere with the aircraft and took it off course on purpose? Join us this week as we explore the most likely scenario...
Errare Humanum Est
August 10, 2015 14:18 - 18 minutes - 17 MBMore than 50% of all aviation accidents are caused by human error. Did the flight crew of MH370 make a skill-based mistake? Did the Boeing 777 vanish due to a decision error in-flight? Did someone on the ground make a wrong decision and seal the fate of MH370? Did the plane run out of fuel due to a mistake? Join us this week as we explore human error as the possible cause of the disappearance of MH370.

July 27, 2015 19:40 - 29 minutes - 26.5 MBIn 2014 more than 3.3 billion people flew safely on more than 38 million flights -- impressive numbers, right? But 2014 won't be remembered for its millions of safe flights but for the one flight that disappeared with 239 people on board. Join us for this episode as we explore catastrophic failure as the possible cause of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
