    Days before Christmas, in 2022, a United Airlines Boeing Triple seven careens towards the ocean, just seconds after takeoff from Hawaii. Alarms blare in the cockpit, but the pilots are utterly confused as to what is happening. Will they be able to pull their massive plane out of its terrifying dive, or is it already too late, for them, and their 271 passengers?
    This is a story of confusion, distraction, and above all, it’s a story about what can happen when our expectations don’t match reality. This is the story of United Airlines, flight 1722.

I feel MUCH safer when I am in an airbus. I am NOT a pilot, but to me, it sounds WAY more safe to have a pitch stable plane than an "idle" one. Who wants ANYTHING "idling" in a plane???

      @@lisaproustresearch Understandable. Boeing is usually a result of mechanical or maintenance issues. Airbus is usually due to over reliance on automation and flight control issues. Boeing gives a pilot more control to do what they need or want, forcing them to keep their knowledge in check and their skills in practice. Airbus by default won't let a pilot into an unsafe state unless something goes wrong, which can startle pilots unexpectedly, making the issue worse.

      If they have to address every bump, they’d be overwhelmed. There needs to be some levels of safety that can be addressed by the company itself to alleviate NTSB involvement.
      The company was told about the incident and gave the pilots more training. So this was taken care of in-house.
      The crew could have stayed silent about the incident since no signs of this situation showed up till months later.
      I don’t know about you but in my job, we don’t usually tell on ourselves cause we aren’t interested in getting in trouble based on the fact that our company stacks up minor issues that may happen, such as a boot coming undone. Enough of those in a year can get you 3 months on the street. So unless it’s obvious we usually stay quiet.
      This crew may have said something cause they don’t know if the passengers will say something, thus getting the crew in double trouble cause of the incident and that they didn’t report it.
      Maybe you can suggest a better system that covers every single problem. If you can I’m sure the NTSB would like to hear from you.

      There’s a hell of a lot more going on in an airplane. They are maintaining airspeed, altitude, pitch, power, radios and complying with a departure procedure all while in this case getting rocked by turbulence.
      It would be more like driving 70 mph through narrow construction barricades in pouring rain with cars pulling in front of you. Your eyes would be focused on the task at hand and not tuning your radio.

    I definitely think there should be an added category to reports for these kinds of close calls. I'd class it as a high-risk safety incident - similar to those reported according to the Work Health Safety Act in Australia. It would definitely warrant an investigation into the cause, and subsequent actions taken to mitigate the risk so far as reasonably practicable.

    This video made me recall a landing at BDL in extremely thick fog. Completely unknown to us, we were getting lower and lower into the clouds, all the wile not knowing that we were entering ground fog as we came in. And then we landed. Usually, I watch out the window, seeing the ground get closer gradually, letting me know we were about to land. But this time, it was cloud, fog, landing. It was a bit startling to many of us. I had no feeling that the plane was getting lower, nor did i feel any change in direction. It all felt level and normal, and it even made me lose track of the time. That landing made me realize just how easy it is to lose all situational awareness.

      The opposite actually. There’s so many layers of safety that result from these incidents and investigations that I don’t even really think about safety in any real sense when I fly.

    It never ceases to amaze me how oblivious people are to the real dangers present every single time you get on an airplane.

    Excellent video, very well explained. It is worth noting that this same event has been covered by other You Tube channels, but none of them have been as well-researched and presented as this one. A big 'Thumbs Up' to Green Dot Aviation.

    Thing is, all this drama from the plane beginning to go to Flaps 5 to pulling out of the dive, took only 10 seconds...for 10 seconds alone, less time to speak 2 sentences, the pilots lost awareness and regained it, but enough had already happebed. At 8000 fpm, they had just 15 seconds to hit the ocean. It didn't last nearly as long as it seems, but that was the 10 longest seconds of their loves. lives
