I was a passenger on that flight. It was definitely a scary moment. Still recall those panicking faces. Everyone started praying and hoping for the best. Once we were able to land everyone started clapping and was a such relief to get off. That day was definitely something i will always remember.
Did the captain inform the passengers that there were issues? I'm surprised that they did. I was under the assumption that the passengers just thought the flight landed late. Interesting. Thanks for chipping in with your experience! :)
@@_WyngX No we weren't informed. Just our gut feeling was telling us something was wrong. Plane kept circling and circling and then they said they are going to newark. People already had started panicking when they couldn't land the first time. It was packed and alot of commotion going on. We were so close to ground and we had service. Just crazy morning
No panicking, no blabbering, straight mind, brave face, intelligent thinking, prompt decision making, clear explanation, quick action. Many salutes to these amazing talented best Pilots and ATC. Thank you very very much for existing. You are amazing. You saved so many souls that day. God bless you always!
I'm an aviation nut and this is one of my favorite aviation stories. we watch so many that end in tragedy and it's refreshing to hear this incident told over and over by so many. I'm proud of our controllers and have great admiration for the Indian pilots. they definitely kept their cool. I've never flown into Newark, but JFK isn't a fun place for nighttime landings when the weather is bad.

I was a doctor on flight. A lot of passengers were having anxiety and one of them developed anxiety attack that was thought to be heart attack. Announcements were made and I along with one more doctor volunteered. While plane was descending, we were working on that passenger knowing well that this could all end soon for all of us in worst of ways. Prayers did work and plane landed smoothly. We all clapped and cheered.
I have questions 1. How were they able to get actual recording of pilot & traffic controllers voice. 2. Why it was not reported as incidence. How such events could be prevented if such incidents are not reported. 3. Was it professional not to report such incidents or was it pressured by higher authorities to prevent insurance rates increase?

@tahmidhossain6349don't say anything if u don't know . The failures they encountered initially were not significant enough to land back to India or cancel the flight. It doesn't work like that. When a flight takes off, u don't just randomly land it with every single system failure. Are u stupid or what?...
It was my first flight to the United States and my first time flying 15 hours straight. Having changed the scenary around ground during landing got me running chills down my nerves. After landing, there was heavy rain outside but we were clapping. That day really was something which i will remember for my entire life....
I'm so happy you had a good result. your pilots were so admirable. In the original transcript, when the pilots asked how things were in the area, the controller snapped, "very busy." which is the way controllers talk in that part of the country because well, New Yorkers are abrupt but kind. I really love the way the JFK controller seemed to 100% stop and focus on the Indian pilots. they don't always do that. this one seemed to sense he needed to focus on this plane. I hope you had a good time in the states after that.
I had taken same flight number multiple times with same Pilot, so when it had happened it was in news, I was in chills. Kudos to pilot for his calm and getting this landed safely.

For being a passenger on that flight it was horrifying people were so nervous and anxious and people were crying, and I get why. also I was thinking it’s September 11th and it was over New York and I was like, something like that can never happen again. I just have to thank the pilots for safely land the plane it’s was got me into aviation it should be a day to remember… great video it deserves more likes because you said EVERYTHING so accurately. And from what I remember (I was 7) someone had a anxiety attack or a heart attack and I remember a few people volunteering to help. I’m 13 now and I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
What a professional interaction. Clear and concise. The pilot was very experienced because of the way he spoke. Air India hired the right people ❤❤ my motherland. Born in Singapore, raised in Canada but ancestry is India. Proud to be one
It's truly a matter of shame that Air India did not share any statement for the scariest incident putting the lives of passengers in such dangerous situation who believe in the name Air India 😮😮😮
Even after landing at Newark, we were on the runway for a good hour or so. The passenger next to me called 911 to complain about Air India and its pilots not letting him off the plane and holding him captive on American soil. It got hot inside and the air hostesses were literally fanning the guy! I should have a picture somewhere. When we landed, someone remarked about it being September 11. Newark had ambulances and fire trucks lined up next to the landing strip! What a day -- and what a miracle to be alive; all thanks to Captain Rustom Palia! Hope to run into him someday and thank him personally.
@@_WyngX The horror set in only after we heard about the system failure a few days later. It was a short 3 day business trip for me, so I in fact heard about the multiple failures after I returned to India on the 14th. That's when the horror really set in!
@@AshishArun1 It must be very hard for you guys. You know I have Aero phobia...I am very much scared to fly. I just want to know from you that so u still fly? And if yes how you manage your anxiety? Pls reply I always try to postpone my trip to India from USA by making some excuses but the real fear is this one.
@@hellobabyReeva Hi. I also have fear of flying. But I do fly as it is required at times. I have adopted one trick(not recommended though). I gets tipsy and then go to sleep. That helps me from the fear when awake.
3 minutes into the video and I’m already shaking my head at the pilot and airline decision making. The APU is absolutely a critical instrument and the plane should have never left without it working. In the event of an engine failure or an engine stall the APU turns on and sends electricity to the cabin allowing the rest of the instruments to keep functioning and gives the pilots the ability to attempt to recover the plane. Deciding to take a plane with nearly 400 souls onboard on a 15 hour flight knowing the APU is not working is absolutely insane.
my thoughts too...irresponsibility on the part of engineering and pilots. APU failure is good enough to cancel the flight. this was just good luck everywhere!
They can windmilling engines and also have an extractive windmill for power generation. So dwo backup systems. Hence I can see why they considered it safe. But Boeing must be aware of the problem too- and they don’t say anything. Time to pull out the government hammer on Boeing!
While I applaud the great work of the pilots and ATC. I'm surprised no one is angry at Air India for not even submitting and incident report, let alone launching and investigation in to why these failures happened. 370 people including the brave pilots and crew could have died! It's shocking that this happened in 2018 and by the end of 2023, Air India have done nothing to find out what happened and how it can be prevented from happening again.
What wonderful team work by all the four pilots displaying extreme professionalism and courage. The Captain's conversation with the ATC shows that he had been calm and confident throughout and this is what exactly expected of a pilot during such times of crisis. He saved 270 souls onboard by his skills and professional attitude. He didn't panic. Bravo. Salute to the entire air india crew. Best regards from Pakistan
Literally got goosebumps.. I aspire to be a pilot one day and this shook me to the core. I appreciate the pilots sense of judgement and their prompt actions that made the landing possible.
I feel like this is one of the most difficult situation because there isn't one obvious thing that makes a mayday call immediate. bad weather, low fuel, some instrument unreliable. all on there own could not be a big deal, but each and every one slowly creeping up, making a difficult situation suddenly an emergency. Kudos to the pilot and ATC. they handle this great
Absolutely outstanding work on this video. Terrific editing, graphics, script, bit of dramatic music, good quality ATC audio usage, just really well done overall. Same with all your videos. Very high standard. Hope you keep doing them ! Thanks
Excellent storytelling! As a passenger on this route, I feel connected to all the souls on this flight. I wonder why Bollywood is not considering making a movie about this real-life event.
Hats off to pilots and ATC for their professionalism. They really avoided another disaster. Excellent presentation. Seen this on other UA-cam channels but your step by step explanation of this event is really good. Thumbs up and subscribed to your channel immediately. Looking for more such aviation.
Absolutely SO satisfying to see the level of professionalism displayed by the crew and the ATC. Concise communication, perfect execution. Crisis averted.
The way pilots keep there head calm.very professional and accurate approach and the immediate response from ATC,to sort out the things are really commendable.
Beautifully narrated bro!! No theatre or unwanted drama. You scripted it well. And i assume you are a pilot yourself. 170 subscrivers shocked me; you deserve more. Thank you sir!
Thank you very much. I am glad you loved it. Yes, it was a challenge to know where to draw the line as this was my first one, but I am glad it hit the mark!
Reminded me of two times we had scare The presence of mind of Cockpit crew averted…… Air India pilots are the Best in the world I have worked with Air India in the 80’s Thanks for sharing God bless
I've said this before and I'll say it now, Air India has some of the best pilots in the world. There is no doubt that they have to upgrade the aircrafts and amenities, but some of the best take-offs and landings I've had are with Air India. They have amazingly talented pilots, but they should invest in training their flight attendants. I hope Air India comes up (now that it has come home to the Tata Group) and soars even higher. Travelling to and from Japan in the B747 in 1996 and regular trips to and from the UAE from 2011-2017 have made me a lifetime fan of the brand.
I could say it was literally goosebumps and was waiting when could I hear the landing sound and the the way it is narrated here is brilliant .. a big salute to pilots and ATC staff for commendable job
Great graphics. An experienced crew definitely made the difference in this case. I worked at JFK Airport for 15 years and I know how crazy it gets during inclement weather.
Can't believe the fact that there is no investigation or reports on the incident. Shame on you Air India. Please don't wait for something to happen to act.
Shame on air india? No they worked hard to get the plane land safely and carried all the passengers safely with no injuries, the instrument failures were totally unpredictable and u can’t blame them for that! Instead of shaming air india , congratulate them for all the hardwork they put in , in order to get the flight to land safely
No investigation? Perhaps there should be redundant computer system. Life is priceless. Should learn lesson and take corrective action so human lives are not put at risk. Can there be better safety checks so the plane never takes off with such issues?
Just came across this channel, very impressed with the quality and graphics. I can tell you worked had to create this masterpiece. Keep up the good work. Please carry on releasing content. Thank you. From a aviation enthusiast.
Huge respect for the pilot and ATC team for their expert debugging under such intense circumstances !! Big thank you to the documentary creator for capturing and narrating this high-stakes moment so well, it I better than most of the documentary I see these days..
This story has been told wonderfully. You have explained all the complicated flight stuff so well! It was such a good video that I watched the entire 22 minutes, never got bored because of your awesome storytelling! Your tone matched with the story very well
Amazing how this fantastic crew managed to stay calm, composed and focussed to save 370 souls on board despite being in such a grave situation. Kudos to the angels in the cockpit and the controllers. They did not let panic get the better of them.
It is to the credit of the angels and controllers in the cockpit that they did not let panic get the better of them, but remained calm and focused during the crisis.

this is my first video on your channel and I subbed at about 2 mins into the video- the editing, the transitions, the everything is SO good. the way information is presented is beyond professional, like, holy wow your videos are stunning. thank you for educating me on this!
Indians are so talented I love how they landed that plane. I can feel how painful that moment could be for the pilots and passengers. They are very successful people in every aspect of life such as Technology, Health Care, Politics, Film industry and much more. Kudos to those people who saved hundreds of lives for this plane.
Yeah that’s why we have shitty airplanes, every year many people die of train accidents, very few innovations/researches happening in India. I’m Indian, but Indians are good in replicating/copying and never good in inventing at least this modern generation. All Indians who have invented something are not from India.
Brother. I absolutely loved everything about your video/directing… I know there are many channels covering such stories but somehow even the most subbed ones are too long for me and have unnecessary details. Music on specific times were also great. Thank you for your work and 100 hours you’ve put in to create this. I know there is more to come so I instantly subscribed. ❤❤❤
Desperate times calls for Desperate measures and that's what the pilots effortlessly did. They synchronized with both the ATCs thus landing safely at Newark Intl. Airport. Hands down to the Pilot and the controller who together saved so many souls.🙏♥️✨️
Great Video! One of the best narration and with detailed visuals. I see the name of the plane written (Nagaland) near the nose (Yes planes were given names of the states when they were commissioned) and it’s tail number on the steering. Didn’t expect this much detail. Appreciate creator’s efforts!
Amazing pilots and crew to land this plane safely. Also kudos to the narrator and creator of this video. Really informative and it was a joy to watch. You have a new subscriber.
Beautiful Narration of the situation. Never knew about this story before. Amazed to see the calmness on both ends of the engineers trying to figure things out. And one of the busiest airport.
OMG...your narration is highly appreciated 👍👏👏👏 I felt as if everything is happening in front of my eye right now .... thoroughly enjoyed and learnt many new informative things 😅
Wow those air India pilots and captain are amazing. They were looking at an utter catastrophe but kept their cool and used every resource and effort to best land the plane. They were very lucky too because if they did not land on their first attempt at the 400 ceiling of Newark, then there would be no second chance. They did really well. I hope the Indian Govt honoured them for that. Those pilots professionalism and calmness and focus saved everyone's life on the plane. The ATCs was very professional and helpful too. I can't help but compare those skilled air India pilots to the Air France pilots of 2009. The Air France flight was not in any kind of real trouble, but because they did not take corrective actions when the stall warning came on, that is what killed them. They were not on autopilot and had stall warnings for at least four minutes and were at an altitude where they could easily have recovered from. But the black box recorder showed that the pilots ignored the stall warnings and didn't even mention them. The pilots were utterly confused as to why the plane was losing altitude and behaving as it did. It took until seconds before the crash for one of the pilots to work out that the planes nose had been pointing up the whole time.
I was a passenger on that flight. It was definitely a scary moment. Still recall those panicking faces. Everyone started praying and hoping for the best. Once we were able to land everyone started clapping and was a such relief to get off. That day was definitely something i will always remember.

The pilots played GOD with people's lives. They were lucky.
Indian Workers-Trained, Hardworking & honest… Have good qualifications.
Reliable
The decision taken by captain to push the aircraft down to the left immediately and still got everyone out alive is commendable
For being a passenger on that flight it was horrifying people were so nervous and anxious and people were crying, and I get why. also I was thinking it’s September 11th and it was over New York and I was like, something like that can never happen again. I just have to thank the pilots for safely land the plane it’s was got me into aviation it should be a day to remember… great video it deserves more likes because you said EVERYTHING so accurately. And from what I remember (I was 7) someone had a anxiety attack or a heart attack and I remember a few people volunteering to help. I’m 13 now and I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
Thanks for sharing your story, Gavin! :)
the captain is my uncle, I call him Uncle Rusty
i work with. alot of Indian guys, and in these pilots voices, i heard a type that i know all too well. Fantastic stuff.
What a professional interaction. Clear and concise. The pilot was very experienced because of the way he spoke. Air India hired the right people ❤❤ my motherland. Born in Singapore, raised in Canada but ancestry is India. Proud to be one
❤❤
Really not the video to flaunt your faux patriotism lmfao. You're not an Indian!
It's shame that Indian airlines like Air India did not release any statements of any such investigations on their faulty systems.
Exactly felt the same. It was irresponsible to not release reports on these.
Boeing planes are unsafe
how is it even legal?
It's truly a matter of shame that Air India did not share any statement for the scariest incident putting the lives of passengers in such dangerous situation who believe in the name Air India 😮😮😮
Boeings fault,since airlines only buy planes
Even after landing at Newark, we were on the runway for a good hour or so. The passenger next to me called 911 to complain about Air India and its pilots not letting him off the plane and holding him captive on American soil. It got hot inside and the air hostesses were literally fanning the guy! I should have a picture somewhere.
When we landed, someone remarked about it being September 11. Newark had ambulances and fire trucks lined up next to the landing strip! What a day -- and what a miracle to be alive; all thanks to Captain Rustom Palia! Hope to run into him someday and thank him personally.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I can't imagine how hard that would have been.
@@_WyngX The horror set in only after we heard about the system failure a few days later. It was a short 3 day business trip for me, so I in fact heard about the multiple failures after I returned to India on the 14th. That's when the horror really set in!
@@AshishArun1 It must be very hard for you guys. You know I have Aero phobia...I am very much scared to fly. I just want to know from you that so u still fly? And if yes how you manage your anxiety?
Pls reply
I always try to postpone my trip to India from USA by making some excuses but the real fear is this one.
What an irony this happened on 9/11 and passengers called 911 as well then.
@@hellobabyReeva Hi. I also have fear of flying. But I do fly as it is required at times. I have adopted one trick(not recommended though). I gets tipsy and then go to sleep. That helps me from the fear when awake.
Salute to the Crew and ATC , it was amazing and crisp communication to save 340 on boarded souls
3 minutes into the video and I’m already shaking my head at the pilot and airline decision making. The APU is absolutely a critical instrument and the plane should have never left without it working. In the event of an engine failure or an engine stall the APU turns on and sends electricity to the cabin allowing the rest of the instruments to keep functioning and gives the pilots the ability to attempt to recover the plane. Deciding to take a plane with nearly 400 souls onboard on a 15 hour flight knowing the APU is not working is absolutely insane.
. . . . . . Sounds like the training's on par with Air France.
my thoughts too...irresponsibility on the part of engineering and pilots. APU failure is good enough to cancel the flight. this was just good luck everywhere!
Exactly! That was grossly irresponsible.
They can windmilling engines and also have an extractive windmill for power generation.
So dwo backup systems. Hence I can see why they considered it safe.
But Boeing must be aware of the problem too- and they don’t say anything. Time to pull out the government hammer on Boeing!
Thats exactly what Air India is all about. Sloppy, Unprofessional, and blatant disregard for ICAO and DGCA regulations
While I applaud the great work of the pilots and ATC. I'm surprised no one is angry at Air India for not even submitting and incident report, let alone launching and investigation in to why these failures happened. 370 people including the brave pilots and crew could have died! It's shocking that this happened in 2018 and by the end of 2023, Air India have done nothing to find out what happened and how it can be prevented from happening again.
They must have done those things; probably those things are confidential and not available to the public.
@@rachittripathi2033 If its not public, its not addressed, atleast to the level it must have been.
I 1000% agree!
Govt sold Air India to Tata group.
Yeah investigation will happen if there is a proper authority now you will see that maharaja airlines will get to relive its glory days
What wonderful team work by all the four pilots displaying extreme professionalism and courage. The Captain's conversation with the ATC shows that he had been calm and confident throughout and this is what exactly expected of a pilot during such times of crisis. He saved 270 souls onboard by his skills and professional attitude. He didn't panic. Bravo. Salute to the entire air india crew. Best regards from Pakistan
that has to be the best airplane story i ever heard and saw. also, what a clear convo between ATC and crew. bravo!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Literally got goosebumps.. I aspire to be a pilot one day and this shook me to the core. I appreciate the pilots sense of judgement and their prompt actions that made the landing possible.
Makesure you be a smart one ..not dumb pilot..
@@FinaJiriAnd don't fly for Air India if you value your life and that of your passengers.
I feel like this is one of the most difficult situation because there isn't one obvious thing that makes a mayday call immediate. bad weather, low fuel, some instrument unreliable. all on there own could not be a big deal, but each and every one slowly creeping up, making a difficult situation suddenly an emergency. Kudos to the pilot and ATC. they handle this great
Absolutely outstanding work on this video. Terrific editing, graphics, script, bit of dramatic music, good quality ATC audio usage, just really well done overall. Same with all your videos. Very high standard. Hope you keep doing them ! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Excellent storytelling! As a passenger on this route, I feel connected to all the souls on this flight. I wonder why Bollywood is not considering making a movie about this real-life event.
True, instead of crap movies like Animal, they should consider this.
Don’t know who’s going to enjoy a half an hour film….!!!!
@@kayy_kayy5525me! I'd love for short documentaries to be made on incidents like these. i hate most of the mainstream bollywood crap with a passion.
Hats off to pilots and ATC for their professionalism. They really avoided another disaster. Excellent presentation. Seen this on other UA-cam channels but your step by step explanation of this event is really good. Thumbs up and subscribed to your channel immediately. Looking for more such aviation.
Thank you so much Vinay! :)
sounded like a very competent Pilot. also, great communication between the tower. lucky souls.
Awesome editing. Better than most of the aviation shows in TV
That’s so kind. Thank you so much Preeti ☺️
Interesting that you know it's not preetib
Why would I think it is Preetib 😂
Absolutely SO satisfying to see the level of professionalism displayed by the crew and the ATC. Concise communication, perfect execution. Crisis averted.
That was an OUTSTANDING job by the Flight Crew Members of that Aircraft!! Wonderful work and congrats for keeping your cool, with the unpredictable!
The way pilots keep there head calm.very professional and accurate approach and the immediate response from ATC,to sort out the things are really commendable.
Absolutely! :)
This channel is criminally underrated. Hope it grows exponentially.
Thank you so much! :) You are very kind! :)
Excellent work@@_WyngX
Thank you :) @@FernandoEidPires
@@_WyngXbro who did the animation? Feels like a high budget movie, so much attention to details, even inside the cockpit. So much research.
Thanks a lot mate. Glad you liked it! :)@@iamsubham333
Can't imagine that this was your first video.
Your storytelling is insanely good.
I'm sure your channel is going to explode soon!
Thank you so much!
This is an incredible story how the Pilot handles the situation effectively without panicking the passengers..
Reading passenger comments on this video, it sounds like they were pretty damn panicked.
Beautifully narrated bro!! No theatre or unwanted drama. You scripted it well. And i assume you are a pilot yourself. 170 subscrivers shocked me; you deserve more. Thank you sir!
Exactly my thoughts.
Thank you very much. I am glad you loved it. Yes, it was a challenge to know where to draw the line as this was my first one, but I am glad it hit the mark!
Update. It’s 7.74K subscriber count now
These pilots really saved all the passengers. The calmness they should is super appreciable.
Dropping hearts for the highly professional pilots crew! ❤️❤️
Thanks for covering this!
0:06 “New York, September 11th” is always a terrifying start 😅
hahaha! :D
Hats off to these BRILLIANT pilots !!! God was certainly present in their time of need. So a combination of both saved their lives!!!
Reminded me of two times we had scare The presence of mind of Cockpit crew averted……
Air India pilots are the Best in the world
I have worked with Air India in the 80’s
Thanks for sharing God bless
I've said this before and I'll say it now, Air India has some of the best pilots in the world. There is no doubt that they have to upgrade the aircrafts and amenities, but some of the best take-offs and landings I've had are with Air India. They have amazingly talented pilots, but they should invest in training their flight attendants. I hope Air India comes up (now that it has come home to the Tata Group) and soars even higher. Travelling to and from Japan in the B747 in 1996 and regular trips to and from the UAE from 2011-2017 have made me a lifetime fan of the brand.
I second that.
On what basis are you saying that?
i have experienced the same thing. smoothest landings despite older aircraft models.
Salutes to the pilots to have saved 360 people,and it makes me proud to praise the heroes being Indian.
Boeing-777, whats newer than that ?
I could say it was literally goosebumps and was waiting when could I hear the landing sound and the the way it is narrated here is brilliant .. a big salute to pilots and ATC staff for commendable job
Great graphics. An experienced crew definitely made the difference in this case. I worked at JFK Airport for 15 years and I know how crazy it gets during inclement weather.
Thank you 🙏
its not graphics,its microsoft flight simulator game
Can't believe the fact that there is no investigation or reports on the incident. Shame on you Air India. Please don't wait for something to happen to act.
Shame on air india? No they worked hard to get the plane land safely and carried all the passengers safely with no injuries, the instrument failures were totally unpredictable and u can’t blame them for that! Instead of shaming air india , congratulate them for all the hardwork they put in , in order to get the flight to land safely
@@saanvehh he didn't shame the pilots, he's shaming the company. Air India is awful.
No investigation? Perhaps there should be redundant computer system. Life is priceless. Should learn lesson and take corrective action so human lives are not put at risk. Can there be better safety checks so the plane never takes off with such issues?
Bro, it was hurried. It was clearly a cyber attack.
Awesome ❤ proud of you Captain and Pilots for making the right decisions and not panicking. Saved 370 souls ❤
We salute the pilots and the coordinators for their incredable efforts. Thank you guys❤😢🥳
Totally agreed! :)
Now that really is 'working as a team', given that they had never met each other before!
Indian pilots have marvellous skill and talent to work in panic and pressure
Hats off to the pilots …..
I still have photos and videos of that day…we landed in Newark…and was stuck in the flight for more than 4 hours…9/11 2018.. a day to remember
What an incredible video. Can't imagine the amount of work you guys would have put in making such a wonderful animation.
Thanks a lot Abhishek! :)
Good use of msfs!
Just came across this channel, very impressed with the quality and graphics. I can tell you worked had to create this masterpiece. Keep up the good work. Please carry on releasing content. Thank you. From a aviation enthusiast.
Thank you so very much. I sincerely appreciate the encouragement! :)
Huge respect for the pilot and ATC team for their expert debugging under such intense circumstances !!
Big thank you to the documentary creator for capturing and narrating this high-stakes moment so well, it I better than most of the documentary I see these days..
Beautiful. Professionalism at its finest. Kudos to those pilots. I wish people in this world could behave like pilots.
This story has been told wonderfully. You have explained all the complicated flight stuff so well! It was such a good video that I watched the entire 22 minutes, never got bored because of your awesome storytelling! Your tone matched with the story very well
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching ☺️
These pilots must be rewarded and honoured, for safely landing nearly 300 souls and avoiding another 9/11 tragedy.
God bless them all
Communication from ATC is a perfect example of professional communication ❤ Good Job
Amazing. The pilots calm headed handling of the situation and their professional approach is commendable. God bless these pilots !!
Couldn't agree more!
What an absolute professionalism and bravery!!!! Hats off
Pilots remained so calm and kind the whole time. I’d be a basket case
Captain did a great job ., saving the lives of the passengers and crew
Amazing how this fantastic crew managed to stay calm, composed and focussed to save 370 souls on board despite being in such a grave situation.
Kudos to the angels in the cockpit and the controllers. They did not let panic get the better of them.
It is to the credit of the angels and controllers in the cockpit that they did not let panic get the better of them, but remained calm and focused during the crisis.
Wow! Kudos to you, this was not a video but a whole movie! Love the quality and efforts put into this, especially explaining the various instrument failures in depth in such a easy way was great! Keep up the good work, I bet you'll be at 100K Subs soon :-)
That's very kind and nice of you to say, Steven. Thank you very much! :)
Thanks for this first-class video. Apart from relaying this amazing feat of aviation by the pilots and input from the ATC, thanks also for the explanations of ILS, radio altimeters and other aviation related terms - some of the clearest and best explanations I have yet heard!
Glad you enjoyed it!
always stoked to find new airplane stimulators/investigations channels! you did a great job! very informative, your narration keeps me engaged as its not monotone. great video!
Cheers mate. I am glad you liked it and it's great to have you here. Thanks for watching. Keen to know what you thought of the other two videos too.! :)
Loved how the conversation between the Pilots and ATC officials was so calm and so little panic ‘
but ATC got the number of passengers (270 not 370) and the amount of fuels wrong!!
I love how the information shared between the pilots and the ATC was crisp and clear.😊
Awesome work done by pilot, crew members, atc... True team work. Incident like this must be appreciated
this is my first video on your channel and I subbed at about 2 mins into the video- the editing, the transitions, the everything is SO good. the way information is presented is beyond professional, like, holy wow your videos are stunning. thank you for educating me on this!
Oh thank you so very much. That’s very kind of you to say and I appreciate the encouragement. Thanks 🙏 for watching ☺️
I have watched this video more than 10 times and still love the story, true class act and professionalism of the highest standard.
Indians are so talented I love how they landed that plane. I can feel how painful that moment could be for the pilots and passengers. They are very successful people in every aspect of life such as Technology, Health Care, Politics, Film industry and much more. Kudos to those people who saved hundreds of lives for this plane.
Yeah that’s why we have shitty airplanes, every year many people die of train accidents, very few innovations/researches happening in India. I’m Indian, but Indians are good in replicating/copying and never good in inventing at least this modern generation. All Indians who have invented something are not from India.
Jesus of Nazareth was the Captain of the Air place. Read Psalms 51. Heaven bless the pilots.
This is a type of youtube channel i was always looking for❣️
Thank you very much! :)
No panicking from pilots …as hearing their voice …
Saved them thus to maintain calm, composed and fully aware is key for pilots …
#kudos
Brother. I absolutely loved everything about your video/directing… I know there are many channels covering such stories but somehow even the most subbed ones are too long for me and have unnecessary details.
Music on specific times were also great.
Thank you for your work and 100 hours you’ve put in to create this. I know there is more to come so I instantly subscribed.
❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad you loved it! Yes, many more to come for sure. :) Hope to see you around for those! :D
Desperate times calls for Desperate measures and that's what the pilots effortlessly did. They synchronized with both the ATCs thus landing safely at Newark Intl. Airport. Hands down to the Pilot and the controller who together saved so many souls.🙏♥️✨️
No one gonna talk that it was on September 11💀
No we ain’t 😭💀
And it's about flight 😂
@@MeraBaapHaiTu31And in New York 😭
Your level of editing, production, and way of explaining will take you far ❤
Thank you so much 😀
Great Video! One of the best narration and with detailed visuals. I see the name of the plane written (Nagaland) near the nose (Yes planes were given names of the states when they were commissioned) and it’s tail number on the steering. Didn’t expect this much detail. Appreciate creator’s efforts!
Thank you very much for noticing the details Sumit ☺️
Amazing pilots and crew to land this plane safely. Also kudos to the narrator and creator of this video. Really informative and it was a joy to watch. You have a new subscriber.
Thank you so much 😊
Hats off to the Pilots, Newark controllers. 777 is indeed a work horse. I love this model and series.
Beautiful Narration of the situation. Never knew about this story before. Amazed to see the calmness on both ends of the engineers trying to figure things out. And one of the busiest airport.
Thank you! :)
Bravo both ATC were helpful kudos to pilot for remaining calm
OMG...your narration is highly appreciated 👍👏👏👏 I felt as if everything is happening in front of my eye right now .... thoroughly enjoyed and learnt many new informative things 😅
Thank you so much for watching And commenting. I’m stoked that you like it. Please do subscribe. ☺️
Wow those air India pilots and captain are amazing. They were looking at an utter catastrophe but kept their cool and used every resource and effort to best land the plane. They were very lucky too because if they did not land on their first attempt at the 400 ceiling of Newark, then there would be no second chance. They did really well. I hope the Indian Govt honoured them for that. Those pilots professionalism and calmness and focus saved everyone's life on the plane. The ATCs was very professional and helpful too.
I can't help but compare those skilled air India pilots to the Air France pilots of 2009. The Air France flight was not in any kind of real trouble, but because they did not take corrective actions when the stall warning came on, that is what killed them. They were not on autopilot and had stall warnings for at least four minutes and were at an altitude where they could easily have recovered from. But the black box recorder showed that the pilots ignored the stall warnings and didn't even mention them. The pilots were utterly confused as to why the plane was losing altitude and behaving as it did. It took until seconds before the crash for one of the pilots to work out that the planes nose had been pointing up the whole time.
That's a very interesting comparison. Thanks for your inputs and I am glad you enjoyed the video! :)
That's why everytime you travel pray before you go on board pray that your travel is safe until the airplane landed pray to GOD
