S2024 E31 Terror at 37,000 Feet
本集简介

Boeing 777s are one of the safest types of aircraft flown. They're also one of the largest. Fully loaded with fuel, freight and upwards of 400 passengers, they can weigh more than 350 tonnes. But in difficult weather, like all planes, B777s can be violently tossed around in the sky. And when that happens those on board are in for a terrifying ride. In May, a Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 encountered such extreme turbulence that dozens of passengers were severely injured and one man died. In a major investigation, 60 MINUTES reveals startling evidence that this was a tragedy that could and should have been avoided. Adam Hegarty's report also includes an exclusive interview with Kerry Jordan, the Adelaide woman who is now a tetraplegic as a result of the injuries she suffered onboard SQ321. Kerry and her partner Keith Davis recall the horror of the flight and tell of their disappointment at Singapore Airlines' lack of adequate support in the aftermath, which has changed their lives forever.

The Real Kamala, The Blast Wave

The Real Kamala
No one would ever describe last Wednesday's Presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris as edifying. It was big on bluster, but short on substance; an example of how hurling insults to malign opponents now seems to be the preferred way to influence voters. It's a skill Donald Trump has certainly turned into an art form, but as the world witnessed, the Vice-President is also no mug at it. For many observers though, Kamala Harris still has a substantial problem to overcome if she's to be elected President. She needs to do more to convince Americans who she really is. On 60 Minutes, Amelia Adams travels across the United States meeting the people who know the real Kamala, including old school friends, work colleagues and even a former boyfriend.

The Blast Wave
We ask a lot of our military personnel. If needed, we expect them to make the ultimate sacrifice. In return they deserve to be provided with as much protection as possible. But as Nick McKenzie reports, Australia is failing its front-line fighters. Many troops who fire or come into close contact with heavy weapons and explosives are developing serious brain injuries. By just doing their jobs they are being exposed to repeated high-impact blast waves. And it's not only happening on the battlefield, it's also occurring during their training. Worryingly however, keeping our soldiers safe does not seem to be a high priority for defence leadership.

Aiming For Trouble, Married To A Monster

Aiming For Trouble
Donald Trump is used to being, figuratively, in the sights of his detractors. It's a prerequisite for being one of the world's most divisive politicians. What he's not used to though is when it happens for real. Unbelievably, in the last two and a half months, two people have taken aim at Donald Trump with weapons. In July, the former – and want-to-be-next – President was grazed by a bullet at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, and then two weeks ago he was targeted again while playing golf in Florida. Fortunately, both assassination attempts failed. But as Amelia Adams reports, what the attacks have done is not only highlight security failures in the protection of America's leaders, they've also sent this year's presidential campaign into meltdown.

Married To A Monster
The crimes of Doctor Adam Britton can only be described as grotesque. To the world, Britton portrayed himself as a wildlife warrior. He was a respected Darwin-based crocodile expert who made nature documentaries and at times even worked alongside Sir David Attenborough. But he hid a despicable secret. In 2022, he was arrested and charged with committing vile acts of animal cruelty. Last month Britton, 53, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the rape, torture and killing of as many as 42 dogs. For two years, Britton's now former wife, Erin, has stayed silent about the man she once loved, but now she wants to speak out. In an exclusive interview on 60 MINUTES, she tells Tara Brown how she is grappling with a terrifying truth: she was married to a monster.
