Days before Christmas, in 2022, a United Airlines Boeing Triple seven careens towards the ocean, just seconds after takeoff from Hawaii. Alarms blare in the cockpit, but the pilots are utterly confused as to what is happening. Will they be able to pull their massive plane out of its terrifying dive, or is it already too late, for them, and their 271 passengers?
This is a story of confusion, distraction, and above all, it’s a story about what can happen when our expectations don’t match reality. This is the story of United Airlines, flight 1722.
