The story

Mads Brügger teams up with Göran Björkdahl, who received from his father a metal plate believed to be a part from the Albertina, Hammarskjöld's Douglas DC-6B aircraft. They develop and investigate the theory that a Fouga CM.170 Magister opened fire on the Albertina near Ndola and brought it down, possibly after an attempt to detonate a bomb after take-off had failed in Lubumbashi. Their revelations trigger a new investigation into Hammarskjöld's death; as a part of this new investigation Björkdahl's metal plate is examined and determined to not be authentic.
