Erebus Flight 901: Litany of lies?
It was New Zealand's biggest peacetime disaster - and some say the nation's biggest cover-up. On November 28, 1979, an Air New Zealand DC10 crashed into the slopes of Mt Erebus in Antarctica, killing all 257 people on board. But who was really at fault - the pilot or the government-owned airline? On the 40th anniversary of the tragedy, presenter Garry McAlpine and writer/director John Keir talk to the key players in a quest to discover the truth.
