Air Collision Plot Summary

What happens in Air Collision from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

An unprecedented electromagnetic storm disrupts global communications and sends satellites spiraling into failure, setting off a chain reaction that jeopardizes air travel. The new satellite-based Airborne collision avoidance system, known as ACAT, is caught in this chaos, and its pilot-project deployment on the U.S. east coast suddenly becomes a dangerous vulnerability as debris rains down and critical links fail. In the midst of the storm, two aircraft on a perilous collision course draw the world’s attention: a crowded commercial airliner and Air Force One, carrying President Phillips and his family. The risk is immediate, real, and escalating, as the malfunctioning ACAT starts issuing errant commands that push both planes toward disaster.
