Russell M. Nelson's 'Miraculous' Plane Story: Fact or Fiction? | Mormon News Roundup
In this episode of the Mormon News Roundup, we delve into the veracity of President Russell M. Nelson's legendary "flight of death" story. Since 1976, Nelson has recounted a harrowing experience on a SkyWest flight from Salt Lake City to St. George, portraying it as a miraculous escape from death aided by divine intervention. However, critical examination of his narrative against the official Civil Aeronautics Board report reveals significant inconsistencies.
Join your host Dives, with talent on loan from Kolob, as we explore every mention of Nelson’s legendary flight in chronological order, including a short film he released memorializing the event. We also provide details from Nelson's autobiographies, General Conference addresses, and various Church publications, juxtaposed with the factual report to uncover the truth.
