The twin jet plane en route to Denver from Hong Kong is merely a green radar blip half an hour off the California coast when the call comes through to air traffic control:

'Socal Approach, this is TransPacific 545. We have an emergency.' The pilot requests priority clearance to land. Then comes the bombshell. He needs 40 ambulances on the runway.

But nothing prepares the rescue workers for the carnage they witness when they enter the plane. Ninety four passengers are injured. Three dead. The interior cabin virtually destroyed. What happened on board Flight TPA 545?
