World’s Greatest Mysteries – Season 1 – Episode 1: Princess Diana: Car Wreck Or Conspiracy?
By official accounts, the event seems to be straightforward. On August 31, 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales, died as a result of injuries sustained in a car crash in the Pont de l’Alma road tunnel in Paris, France. Her companion, Dodi Fayed, and the driver of the car, Henri Paul, were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Diana did not die in the car; she died en route to a hospital three miles away. What is not easily explained is how a three mile emergency trip in an ambulance through a major world capital could take over two hours. An 18 month French judicial investigation concluded in 1999 that the car crash that killed Diana was caused by Paul, who lost control of the car at high speed while intoxicated and under the influence of antidepressants. What the inquiry failed to address was why numerous independent reports suggested that Diana was living in fear of the British MI6 secret service operatives. Is there something French, British and American authorities have yet to reveal? This thought-provoking television program interviews a former MI6 agent, as well as the Fayed family, who tell why they believe Diana’s death was murder... and who orchestrated it.
