Dramatic Reenactment: Transportation Safety Board of Canada investigators Bill Taylor (played by Tim Post) and Ron Coleman (played by Tyler Westerlund) examine a metal wheel from Nigeria Airways Flight 2120. It's substantially ground down, which explains why investigators found gouge marks on the runway. It's now obvious that the plane blew a tire during its take off run. The discovery does little to explain why the plane erupted in flames within minutes of lifting off, killing all 261 people on board. (Photo Credit:

Dramatic Reenactment: Canadian investigators looking into the crash of Nigeria Airways Flight 2120 study the DC-8's technical specifications to determine how a fire spread through the cabin of the DC-8 in a matter of minutes. The plane crashed while attempting an emergency landing in Jeddah Saudi Arabia, but erupted in a fire ball a few kilometers short of the runway, killing all 261 people on board. (Photo Credit:

Dramatic Reenactment: Transportation Safety Board of Canada investigators Bill Taylor (played by Tim Post) and Ron Coleman (played by Tyler Westerlund) take a closer looks at the frayed and melted wheel of a Nationair DC-8. The wheel has been ground down, which indicates that the plane blew a tire while it was still on the ground. Now investigators need to figure out how a blown tire could have led to a catastrophic onboard fire that consumed an airplane in minutes, and killed 261 people in July 1991. (Photo Credit:

It's clear the DC-8 blew a tire before lifting off, investigators need to determine how that led to the ferocious on-board fire that consumed the plane in a matter of minutes. (Photo Credit:
