Early Sunday, American Airlines landed its more than 8,000-mile flight from Dallas to Brisbane, Australia. In addition to being the airlines’ longest-ever flight, it may have been the most-tracked flight ever. Brisbane Airport live-streamed the flight path and the landing, which was watched by some 12,000 people. Hosts Marco Werman and Carolyn Beeler have the details.
