Något är fruktansvärt fel. Motorerna har tystnat och det lilla planet skär stumt genom natten 3000 meter över ishavets arktiska köld. Civilisationen är 100-tals km bort och Troels har stora problem. Troels Hansen älskar flygplan och motorer, han arbetar som pilot och flygplanstekniker. I december 2008 planerar han att i olika etapper flyga hem ett tvåmotorigt flygplan från USA via Kanada, Grönland och Island hem till Göteborg.Ombord på det lilla tvåmotoriga propellerplanet är även Troels australiensiska kollega Oliver. De första etapperna går utan anmärkningar och en söndag lyfter de från Wabush i Norra Kanada och planerar att landa på Grönland efter ca fyra flygtimmar. Denna sträcka skulle till stor del flygas över ishavet.Därför hade de på sig sina överlevnadsdräkter. Allt fungerar fint, motorerna spinner, det är en fantastisk kvällsflygning med en magnifik solnedgång, kaffet puttrar och mörkret sänker sig snabbt över det arktiska havet. Men snart börjar saker gå fel fruktansvärt fel. Först stannar en av motorerna, och snart därefter kollapsar även den andra.Medverkande: Troels Hansen och Martina Wallén Hansen Reporter: Anna Hammarén Producent: Håkan Engström
