I worked that crash as a firefighter. We worked for two days doing recoveries. I know it's been twenty five years but it seems like it was just yesterday. I remember the sights, the sounds and the smells. What a tragic day. God bless all of those involved.
@jaytbuzzard thank you for your service as a first responder .....
I worked on that too and I remember how many queen ants and frogs there were jumping around in the hold.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸👑👸🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐸🐸🐸🐸
Were you the one my brother asked to call my brother in law? He said one of you asked him what he was doing and he said going back to get other people before he passed out. Thanks for your service and rescue on that day.
@Kevin Durant Why should he have to prove it? He wouldn't be gaining anything by lying. Its disrespectful to assume he is lying. If it was me I wouldn't prove anything to you. I wouldn't give a rolling bollock what you think.
ben nevis if you have seen many of these videos and read the comments, there seems to be comments by people who say they were rescuers or their cousin or uncle was on the plane etc... not sure if it is to see if they can get likes or whatever. Very common. Very sad and disrespectful.
Those pilots have ice in their veins. To go through all of that and then find the resolve to be able to return to duty as a pilot. That's absolutely incredible
It wasn't really their fault. Hope they didn't blame themselves.
the co pilot looked like he wouldent have made it but he did I guess the pilot got it ez
As one experienced captain said, I paraphrase, "it doesn't matter how many flying hours you have, it's the next hour that counts".
JOYOUSONEX Oh! That’s what I always say when I’m nervous! 😂
@@extraaccount2295 m
So true
Profound!
That sounds like a Richard Collins quote. He has an awesome book out called The Next Hour. I recommend it to any pilot or aviation fan.
My brother was on this flight. I was at DFW waiting to pick him and his wife up. They both survived barely.
Cool story, bro.
@@iggy082 s
damn god was with them
U r so lucky , god is with u , did they got injuries
chinmay kumar routaray yes my brothers neck was slashed almost to his jugular, his left armpit was opened where you could see inside to his bone, rotator cuff. His wife at the time broke both hips. To this day he still has ptsd over it. He stayed in the military and retired 2 years ago as a command sergeant major. Thanks for asking.

Oh man, could you just imagine? You're doing everything right for a typical landing in rainy weather and run into the strongest microburst ever recorded without warning? I feel for the passengers and the flight crew.
Love how you show the age of the plane stained and weathered down. Great job on making as real as you can.
@tinwoods I may be wrong but these "U.S. Air" planes don't look fully painted to begin with. They have the painted red stripe, the painted engine and tail. The rest looks metallic. No way to hide tarnished aluminum unless it's painted.
You have a good point though, if new planes are looking old.. Especially if they're fully painted and not that oldschool metallic look.
@@Lightblue2222 nostalgic with old metallic look on airplanes.
These pilots were ahead of their aircraft and were practicing CRM. It was obvious these two were a very competent crew and I am glad they weren't hung out to dry. Sad, though. T-storms are no joke.
I'm glad they returned to flying too. There must have been a lot of PTSD as well as guilt, even though it wasn't their fault.
My father was actually the first officer on this flight. He still is torn up about what happened. It’s a very interesting and sad story. I can tell you though he is very happy now and just retired from flying 2 years ago. He retired as a captain on the a330.
@@lanehayes4964 that's great news!
I thought they did everything correctly.
@@lanehayes4964 Hey buddy.
Lane is right, his dad did everything he could. I know the Hayes family well.
These things happen, sadly, and they change you.
That you for this. Lost a good friend on this flight. But more he was loved by so many family and friends. RIP Jody.
One of my first flights ever - I was a 20 something sales rep going to a conference in Minneapolis. We went right through a massive thunderstorm - turbulence was tossing stuff around like crazy, you could see lightning out the window and I really didn't know what to make of it all. Then I caught a glimpse of the face of one of the flight attendants. I didn't know much at that young age, but I knew she was terrified. That's when I started to get nervous.
Everytime i watched all of your video, i always hope the last text written is: EVERYONE SURVIVED!
Yes, I do too. But it is rare to have a plane crash with great impact on the plane without fatalities. It is sad but true.
A famous event in NYC (2009) where the pilot landed on the Hudson River in January and everybody did survive !! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Airways_Flight_1549
Yeah dude 🙂
Me too❣
EVERYONE SURVIVED!
Feel bad for those 37 people who died.RIP😢
How did the pilots not die
Slave Of Christ I have no idea
So sad! 😭
@@jacobstravail wdym? The plane landed flat. Are you expecting pilots to die in every crash?
To think quite a few of them died way after the DC-9 crashed, like they ended up burnt to hell. That sux.
I was in the building at the airport when this happened. It rained straight down. No wind. It was just solid water poring. Then it just stopped and the fog lifted and we heard what sounded like the loudest lighting strike ever. It was the sound of the plane snapping huge trees. They closed the airport and we watched the helicopters come and go many times. I’ve never heard a quit airport except for that day. Break rooms were quiet. We were all in a state of shock. Saddest day ever. I’ll never forget it.
Every now and then you come across a awesome UA-cam channel.. 👍👍
I really appreciate your presentation style. The text narration, superimposed over the realistic engine and wind noise is very easy to follow and makes the experience seem very realistic, better than most NTSB animations or over-dramatized accident reconstruction TV shows. Your music, too, is beautiful and dignified, well-suited for tales that too often end in sad outcomes. I too am a pilot, and I have learned a great deal about what to do, or not to do, from your accident synopses. Thank you for what you do, and. I wish you well.
Ok Airplane flight checklist
*No storm*
*No lightning*
*Calm weather only*
*Day time only*
Bxrd - Also, preferably not over water.
Add also
*trained crew members*
*trained Captain*
parachute including personal water jetski, just in case !
That would actually save lives. However, schedules take precedence.
*XD*
Great job once again, amazing channel! I think I might watch it too much though. Even when I’m in my car I can hear the music and see the text in my head; ”.. and behind the wheels is Jakob, with 1000 hours of driving time on the Toyota”.
Great video, tragic that so many of the passengers lost their lives. To return to flying after surviving such a (weather) freak accident shows courage and bravery. RIP
After all these DECADES of flying, no one ever thinks of a problem that could occur until AFTER hundreds of people die.
Interesting.
K Trigs not always. In the early eighties I started flying the B737-200 as a first officer. During training I indicated to my training captain and the chief pilot that I was concerned about the lack of fire detection and extinguishing systems in the cargo holds. I was flipped off with the response that they are class D compartments and as such are fire resistant. I took little delight in 1996 when I confronted them about the Valuejet crash in Miami which was brought down by a fire in the forward cargo hold. My point is that as pilots we see many shortcomings in aircraft design but are essentially powerless to create change.
@@boeingdriver29 Thank you for trying to bring attention to very real issues. As a passenger I always put my hopes into the flight crew who are doing their jobs, that they care for us passengers. I've been pretty shocked learning about just how terrible some airlines and some flight crews can be. I sometimes get a bug for wanting to look into crashes and how they came to be. My Dad was in the Air force and got me interested in planes early in life. Even knowing all I do I still depend on flying to get me to family or experiences I would otherwise not have. Thank You for trying, thank you for caring and thank you for all of the safe flights you that you made, bringing people safely down and back home.
It was like this in 1912 with the Titanic disaster...
@@Octolicia- Yes. The coal bunker fire was reported and fought for days before the fatal voyage. Not for a century was it realized how this contributed to the disaster.
@@algrayson8965 Not just that, but the fact that there was not enough lifeboat onboard for everybody. The excuse? It would spoil the passengers view. The rules where outdated and nobody did anything to fix it before it was too late.
Man i remember this like it was yesterday they used to have a exercise track that went around that section of runway, there use to be a church up there too, i was taking a Karate lesson there that day when it happened, it hadnt been raining then clouds came in and heavy winds we were way down on the other end running back up towards the parking lot in a down pour, and thats when we heard this plane coming in and it sounded weird like the engines were winding making a god awful noise, Then we were about 60 yards away from where we heard the most god awful noise like trees and loud exploding metal sounds like twisting and snapping and then we seen the nose slide across the road with other parts of the airplane torn to shreads people screaming as they passed by in the jet, i seen people still setting in their seats where there wasnt any airplane covering them it was gone they were in the airplane setting in their seats screaming and flames were just ingulfing the back half of the jet, and those people were waving their warms frantically trying to get the flames off them, i could see a ladies hair on fire, then when it finally stopped in the side of a house we ran to see if we could help but the ones that could make it out where out the rest were just burnt bodies and corpse burned beyond recognition!!! I had nightmares for years growing up, i was a littke youngin then, i think maybe 13 or 14, my dad was on the other side of the skid path in the parkinglot waiting to pick me up, hes a very stern man and he was a mess!!!! R.I.P TO ALL WHO PERISHED ON THAT DAY!!!
That must have been horrific! I always assumed that people in airplane crashes pass out or die instantly. So sad to know those poor people suffered:(
@@LVLady83 yes it was a very bad thing to see with my own eyes as a kid ya know, seeing and smelling human flesh burning was the thung that stuck in my head for years i could see one person who was engulfed in flames that waz trying desperately to get their seatbelt off until final3they just stopped moving it happened kinda quick but slow enough i could see that person struggling to get out of the seat and just the flames over came them!! It was horrible!! And the house it slid into was occupied, although i dont know if anyone was home!!!! I couldnt imagine setting in your house and out of the blue an airplane comes crashing in!!
@@picklerickdic8955 Thanks for sharing your experience. After I posted the comment I realized that the accident concurred on the landing so obviously many people were totally conscious and aware of what was happening....very sad:(
I hope you got some sort of psychiatric help. The human brain can retain so much subconsciously and can paralyze you until you deal with all of it.
Wait... the women's hair on fire seems fake
The plane looks so real that it's a treat to the eyes but then it also scares the hell out of me.
wimp
Wvat iz zat vimp zaying?
"A smooth ride all the way down the final." Famous last words.
Oi
There are just some situations that can’t be avoided no matter how well prepared you are. Nobody could have foreseen that microburst so nobody should be held accountable for the crash. I’m sure all the crew members relive that event many times over. The two planes that landed before them should be thanking God for their good fortune.
There have been statements that Doppler radar could have foreseen the microburst. Now the airport is equipped with it.
@@ohdear2275 yes but it's crazy to think that there was a time where planes could just randomly fall out of the sky because of a microburst and there was literally no way to tell if it was happening or not
This is the exact same thing that happened to L1011 Delta Flight 191. May all of them rest in peace.
Almost
Amazing video dude :) It's crazy to see how much weather truly can affect flight.
I was supposed to be on this flight. Took the morning flight instead.
Proof or it didnt happen
Did you survive?
fucking idiots.
why do you have to doubt what everybody says.
he’s lucky to be on the morning flight
Whew, someone was watching over you❤
@@billiebobbienorton2556 no
I thought at first this was the flight that crashed due to the engines flaming out because of heavy rain and tried to land on a highway. Great video as always tfc, thank you for sharing.
I thought the same thing, actually! Turns out it was an accident I've never heard of.
That was Southern airways flight 242 crashed on a highway in Pauding county, Georgia
They test jet engines by pointing a firehose at them while they're running. I doubt a bit of heavy rain will cause a flameout.

Wow. That's a tremendous effort and contribution made by you again. Wish you all the best. Need to see a more out of you. Stay Blessed
I knew it's going to be microburst. I just watched a tornado documentary that mentioned microburst a few weeks ago. They said microburst had crashed several planes in history... My condolences for the family and friends of the 37 victims...
I live about an hour and a half north of KCLT and remember this crash vividly. My aunt worked for USAir at the time and the plane went down within a mile of her house... Weather is a fickle thing, just when you think you've got it figured out she jumps up and bites you in the rear end!!! Excellent video sir :-)
This was an insidious event, meaning the downturn.
Came out of no where, and grew monstrous in 2 minutes.
I studied this event.
Pilot's did a miraculous job, and almost got out of it.
I just love how you improve your editing skills often... good job man.
R.I.P the 37 lives, they apparently survived the crash but not the fires :(
I absolutely love tge background music.. Makes it feel more realistic as if we are the ones who are experiencing it. 💜
Music Builds the suspense, the emotions
What is the song being played by piano?
You mean the passengers were listening to background music when they crashed??_____________________________
Shay4Mo I think it’s by the Beatles.
lol experiencing a deadly plane crash 💜
You produce f***ing awesome documentaries that are also very educative!
Thank you!
And as everyone here, I love it when I see "everyone survived" (sadly not on this one), and also when a crew heroically fight back adverse conditions.
I really respect all pilots that try their best to keep a plane from crashing. Even know the end result is out of their control.
Your videos just get better and better, please keep doing. Great job as always! (from a flight sim enthusiast)
Awesome video and thank you for all your hard work.
Excellent video (as usual). I like the new “intro!”
Thanks for the great video, it gave me chills when it crashed.
Next do please Air Canada 143! I love your videos
great video bro keep posting so i can keep watching
Speechless as always bro.
The intro was lit 🔥,so pity on the passengers on board. Keep it up!
I’ve seen many of these videos lately, and I’m not sure I can fly with the same confidence as I used to.
A friend of mine was on this flight. He lost his mom and his niece. I’ve visited him in the hospital afterwards. I’ll never forget that day.
Love the new intro. Keep up the fab work
I'm going on a plane tomorrow but your channel is so intriguing. I love your videos
I get the notification when you upload a video, I click it... simple...
Wow, you really do a great job on these videos. Thanks.
I gotta say that the music you play at the end is so melancholy, so sad, so moody....an excellent choice for a tragic presentation.
I am truly amazed that the pilots returned to flying. I wonder have airlines developed better ways of detecting microformats, or perhaps have they made rules about flying through even mildly bad weather, to prevent this same circumstance. Well done with the new intro! Well done with everything!!
Microbursts is what it should say
Airports (especially the large and busy ones) have microburst detection systems in place these days. However, making rules about flying in “even mildly bad weather” wouldn’t benefit anyone. First of all, that is a very subjective phrase, and secondly, if planes only flew in good weather no one would ever fly anywhere.
Tracey Rossmann We as airline pilots have to undergo very intensive training once a year in full motion -very advanced simulators which are set up to simulate windshear events among other things. Airliners have detection systems on them that let us know immediately when the threat of wind shear is upon us. Not to mention ground based detection systems that air traffic control use. I hope this can calm your fears somewhat.
Doppler Radar has cured this problem for almost all major airports.
@@jetpilot3714 you would get the microburst warning. As soon as you get this, say on finals, you would add a touch of power to get you thru, to avoid being slammed down, so to speak. Is this correct technique in an airliner? Have the odd minor 'burst' occur at our airfield in the PA18, and that technique never fails. Not of the magnitude of this microburst, I hasten to add.
I remember flying into Charlotte with my father in the early 2000s. He pointed the crash site out to me. You could still see the disturbance in the trees from where it had hit.
Theflightchannel your videos are awesome just keep on making more videos. 👍.
Keep Going.
Thank You for these great video's.
Your hard work is greatly appreciated.
We share the same passion as you in highlighting the marvels and dangers of aviation travel.

Love, love this channel! Even though its contents are sad. 😢😢. I really enjoy your animation and hard work.
Thank you fir the upload .
Remember back in yhe 80s how there were so many plane crashes
You must know I love ALL your posts by now. Another great job. Love it when I receive your posts. I will get in from work, feed my family, then settle down to watch...love it...many thanks.
I'm loving the new intro. The same thing that i said you, you are the BEST doing this kind of vídeos, and i need that soundtrack for when I'm sad, i'm feeling sad :'v
Nice job man, have a nice week
Another thing... Thats a horrible way to Diego, because you feel It...
I wish there could be that one time special where you and a buddy reenact the voices of the crew as well. Try matching it with the audio and viola! A masterpiece
AWESOME ❤❤
Each time before i watch your video, i will hit the like button 😁
Even if it has too many ads crammed in?
Bro i am damn addict to your videos..you always drive me to real time experience whenever I watch The Flight Channel..i felt the real pain as a passenger as well the crew!! You nailed it!
I can't say anything when I watch The Intro. Good Job and Keep it Up!😉
Nice opening!
As a Captain.... There's no way in hell I could fly again for the same airline.....hell ...period...if any number of my passengers were to die and my whole crew survived... Very strong of both of them for continuing to fly but I just couldn't mentally handle the memory or trauma of something like that happening...
😢😢😢😢
Nice video btw...cheers ✌✌👌
It must have been horrible for them. I'm sure it took a lot of mental health care to get them through the trauma. I'm sure they felt guilty too even though it wasn't their fault.
Switch to railway train driver. A training video (CSX?) tells new drivers that on average the trains they drive will kill five people. Nothing like driving an air bus. Most pilots go throughout their careers without ever being involved in any deaths.
Al Grayson I’m assuming that’s usually entirely out of the hands of the engineers, though. A little different.
siren synapse I think you missed the point about company policy...
@@algrayson8965 Yep, that’s like being an operator for the New York City Subway system. There’s a good chance you’re going to be driving a train that kills someone, and you might even watch it happen. Some operators never get back behind the controls after it happens to them-they transfer to some other role.
Great editing..hats off
One of my neighbors and her husband from my hometown died on this flight. I will never forget this.
Wow a new video!
Great video!!!
Hi
AdamAir009 Thanks!
In 1982, Pan Am 759 went down due to winshear on takeoff in Kenner, Louisiana. The crash was a street over from where my sister lived. This video reminds me of that disaster. God Bless the families that lost loved ones in the 1982 and 1994 crashes.
Love the intro❤️ keep up the good work
I was at work about ten miles from CD airport when the crash happened. Everyone was absolutely stunned. I had lived in the area for over 30 years. To my knowledge there had never been a crash in that time. It absolutely stunned everyone in the area. I live within two miles from the scene of the crash. Whenever there is a thunderstorm the landing flight path has planes fly very low above my house. It is at these times that I recall the accident. I used to drive the street on which flight 1036 crashed, and the memorial erected there. The street and surrounding area are no longer there, as the land has been absorbed by the airport and I 485.
As always great job recreation that is shorter and more enjoyable than ACI.
great as usual !! thank you
Thanks for another great video
May i know,what is the title of the ending music.I really feeling with that.
Please make JAL123. This is a early squat. Nice intro btw
One of the most dramatic crashes ever
@@davidjackson2657 I know right
BTW is this same with Delta 191?
But this is also cause by microburst. US Air
I still not get it but never mind
Nice job, enjoy your work!
I must say right off the hop, excellent production quality
Hey! Good video, for the next, can you do the reconstruction of LaMia 2933, grettings
I saw a midair collision in 1975 between a cessna and an otter with 16 people in 1975. It was a complete disaster. Everyone perished. Shocking at 13 years old.Still feel bad for those poor people.
That’s horrifying. Could you give more details about where that happened? I’d be interested to see reports of it and do more research
Great work
Your videos are chocked full of info nuggets! RIP passengers.
You want those pilots for your next flight. What are the odds of being in 2 plane crashes
Can you make the Japain Airlines 123 plis??? 🙏🙏
Thanks for the video!!!
trust me these videos are getting better everytime
Please make Trans World Airlines Flight 800 I’ve been requesting this for so long
It would have been nice hearing the communication from the pilots to see how they performed or what they might have tried doing.
This channel puts out the audio usually if they can get it, they have several videos with cockpit recordings of both crashes, near misses and heroic saves.
Very good video, as usual, but this one makes especially clear what happened in that very unusual circumstance.
I am astounded by the number of tragic plane crashes as depicted by this channel. I have a very real fear of flying. Everyone I know poo-poo's my fears, telling me how safe flying is compared to driving. They need to watch this channel. I flew into North Carolina years ago with my toddler son. There was a terrible thunderstorm. We were switching planes for a short flight to our final destination. That flight was delayed due to the weather thank God. I didn't mind sitting safely on the ground at the airport with a fussy 18 mo old while we waited out the storm.
#FanGirl here....OOOOOMMMGGGG THERE'S A VIDEO I CAN RELATE TOO!!! Although this is a tragedy..... I'm excited because I can talk about this one!!! I work for a hotel here in Charlotte, and after this happened.... All flights were on delay. We housed the passengers and flight crew of a few more flights and this was my first time ever hearing about a microburst!! I couldn't even imagine knowing that all your passengers died, and you survived. The way one of the pilots explained it was you can't see it to try to avoid it, and once in it, there's a slim chance of avoiding it!! I'm still amazed that this is a flight I ACTUALLY know!!
Now what's really important!!! I liked the video and had to come back to watch it once I got off!!
Last but not least TFC.... Seriously dude.... The beginning looks like a movie. Just when I thought you were awesome already.... You just elevated another 1000 feet!! I seriously hope that UA-cam recognizes and appreciates your work as much as we do!! You are truly gifted and talented!! I'm truly a fan!!!
There ya go, weather causing a crash. My husband tells me this is never so but he is wrong. My weather fears are justified.
Your weather fears are justified. The margin for error in storm landings is greatly reduced. Pilots are under career pressure to land on time and/or not divert. Severe wind-shears and microbursts can totally overpower the lift/thrust ratio of any aircraft. It comes down to the human, land-or-don't-land decision, and that decision is fraught with economic and pride based factors.
covfefe not enough thrust = not enuff lift especially if it’s the tail wind on the way out
Yes, although it did happen, think of how many flights happen a day. It's simply so rare in comparison to other vehicles like cars, which we drive in a lot. Don't be scared, it will never happen to you.
@@jjwilson5413 it could happen to any of us, but theres a 90% chance we will never be in a proper plane crash
@@kai-matthiasbast8612 Yes I agree, however I think the chances are even slimmer than that

Please can you do Air India 855
I appreciate the detail put into the aircraft , i hate when its a 30m yr old aircraft but looks new in the video, it was an old piedmont relic at the time
Thank you flight channel for creating.
