45 years ago, today New Zealand suffered its worst aviation accident in history. Air New Zealand Flight 901 crashed into the side of Mount Erebus, Antartica killing all 257 onboard..
The incident shocked the country and led to multiple investigations and an ugly blame game.
Now two new books say Air New Zealand was responsible for the crash that killed 257 people and then attempted a cover-up.
Joey Sheehan wrote Judgment on Erebus and joins Jesse to discuss the disaster.
