But a combination of bad weather, a broken autopilot, and a catastrophic communication breakdown turned a normal flight into a nightmare. The pilots tried to tell Air Traffic Control they were low on fuel, but they used the word "Priority" instead of "Emergency." That single word cost 73 people their lives.
