A Tragedy Foretold: Flight 3054 OTT Release Date: Some events change history forever. The crash of TAM Airlines Flight 3054 in 2007 was one such tragedy, leaving families shattered and raising serious questions about aviation safety. Now, Netflix is bringing this heartbreaking story to the screen with A Tragedy Foretold: Flight 3054, a three-part docu-series releasing on April 23, 2025.
On July 17, 2007, Flight 3054 took off from Porto Alegre to S?o Paulo¡¯s Congonhas Airport. But what should have been a routine landing turned into Brazil¡¯s deadliest air disaster. The plane skidded off the rain-soaked runway, crossed a busy road, and crashed into a nearby warehouse, killing all 187 passengers and crew onboard, plus 12 people on the ground.
The upcoming documentary takes a deep dive into the factors that led to the crash. Investigators found that one of the plane¡¯s thrust levers was left in the wrong position, preventing it from slowing down properly. On top of that, the runway had no grooving to drain rainwater, making it extremely slippery. These mistakes, combined with other issues, led to a disaster that could have been avoided.
Beyond just recounting the accident, A Tragedy Foretold: Flight 3054 sheds light on the emotional impact on families, the public outrage, and the aviation reforms that followed. It¡¯s a reminder of why safety measures in air travel are so important and how one mistake can change hundreds of lives forever.
Created and directed by Angelo Defanti, A Tragedy Foretold: Flight 3054 is written by F¨¢bio Leal and produced by Pr¨®digo Filmes and Sobretudo Produ??o. Beto Gauss, Francesco Civita, B¨¢rbara Defanti and Renata Grynszpan served as executive producers. Excited to stream it? Drop your thoughts @indiatimes.
