Wishing a nice recovery to those who received injuries.
Yes. Side note victor, as a CPC cant help but notice the controller blew the LOC 😂
That explains why they canceled our flight from Denver to Tampa, they must not have been kidding when they said the weather was bad.
Hip/thigh fractures carry the risk of damage to major arteries, so they can be fatal. Really hope that flight attendant is ok and the passenger with the back injury recovers.
Those are serious injuries too! A fractured hip (even in a young person) can be life-altering.
That injury on older persons usually denotes nearing the end.
Takes quite some force to sustain a hip fracture also so must have been quite bad turbulence. Hope both the passenger and the flight attendant recover well.
@@jneillare you sure you're not English to describe it as quite bad. Given we tend to down play things like the Black Knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail. "Tis but a scratch."
"A scratch! Your arm's off!"
@@clqudy4750True, but hip fractures in the elderly aren’t normally caused by falling; in most cases the bone has become so brittle that it fails under the strain of the patient's weight and fractures, causing the person to fall. Also, someone with bones that brittle likely has other things wrong with them too, and of course surgery holds greater risks for the elderly.
I hate to hear of anyone getting hurt on a flight but especially an Attendant whose job is to see to the safety of the passengers. Good job getting them to Medical attention as fast as possible and hoping for a speedy recovery for all.
Yea! Especially because we’re authorized to be up checking on passengers while you are required to be buckled in.
@@TejanaDama That's kind of my point. As a passenger who knows these things happen I'm always buckled in and so is the crew on the flight deck. The attendants have all the risk.
I'm guessing this was a few days ago when the squall line was passing through FL. Tops were FL480 on the weather. Even though it was a thin squall system, they can still carry a lot of energy, especially on fronts traversing warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico (where this occurred).
It most likely was that day . The problem I have with this is south west dispatch follows flight and provides the best route around storms . The problem is their is no way to predict it until you see on in cockpit on radar . The pilots have Radar and Turbulence that can be seen 80 miles ahead . There is no reason for this to even occur and it’s def not clear air turb. I would have turned south find a less intense area gone through and came around the font side of the line and landed . Not saying this was it but Lazy Crews can cause major problems.
Indeed, it was that day. There were multiple reports that day of severe turbulence.
@@patcat75011yeah because you totally saw what was on their radar scope and out the window. Real genius armchair quarterback.
Winds were whipping on the surface here in South Florida, so I could only imagine the wild currents at cruising altitude that day.
@@patcat75011 lazy crews? Let me tell you something - no one dislikes turbulence more than pilots. No one is trying to lazily fly through severe turbulence.
With a FA down, they probably ended up below the minimum crew requirements to even continue the flight if they wanted. (If they chose to continue without knowing the seriousness of the injuries.)
That’s why seatbelts should be fastened if in seat at all times
Seatbelt won't protect me from a heart attack from how scary that must have been!
@@mcpr5971 It will keep you from falling to the floor after you die
I agree but what if the flight attendants are doing the snack service and the 200 pound metal cart flies and comes crashing down on your head.
Guessing somewhere out there was a Delta reporting light chop.
Really appreciate the approach overlay!
Must have been some crazy winds when I was flying in the area the other day the winds were super strong seat belt sign was never turned off
Atc’s “wonderful day” was a bit odd and as if unaware of the emergency?
It would be interesting to see what the radar onboard was painting. Many crews have plowed through a ‘black hole’ thinking is was clear ahead, only to find out that the radar returns were attenuating. AA’s incident a few years back was such an example. Every leading edge on the aircraft was either smashed or beat flat against the sub-structures. The pilots were relegated to supervisory positions (desk duties) only after that incident.
'Wonderful day'? 😂😂😂
Exactly what came to my mind..
I chose as captain to sit it out and wait for the front to pass out of Tampa. Never have seen so many pireps for severe turbulence at one time. WSI had closes to twenty reported air carrier severe turbulence at that time.
Southwest comms definitely have room for improvement imo
I was thinking that too....till I read the end... I understand the CA.
Poor folks. That sucks.
"wonderful day". Yep! All rainbows and unicorns!
Yikes. Praying for those injuried please stay buckled in folks. I see people up all the time flying corporate jets even when I ding the sign multiple times.
With the uncertainty of the weather these days it's surprising there aren't more of these incidents. Wishing a speedy recovery to the flight attendant and passenger.
That's why I'm using my 3.5 ton diesel pickup truck for every occasion. It's stable like a brick even in harsh weather conditions
@@omgsrslyeven at 30,000 feet?
@@oldRighty1 This beast plows through anything. I can go in a straight line even at ground level.
@@omgsrslythat’s due to ground effect.
Uncertainty of weather? Because it was more certain before? I would imagine with better weather predicting/modeling and advanced avionics/radar and a greater safety mindset that these issues should be far less than ever before.
always wear your seat belt when you can (I dont know whether the two injured could have done anything to prevent their injuries)
I was thinking that the lady pilot sounds like South West's Tammie Jo Shults?
I was thinking the same!! Surely not, that likelihood of occurrence would be off the charts!
Seen news reports saying she retired from SW
For those interested, they are talking about the accident in video watch?v=cnSizWZVyD4
I just listened to that again and it almost brought tears to my eyes.
She retired several years ago.
It's not her and she retired 4-5 years ago. Doesn't sound like her at all really
Thats why i always have the seat belt on.
Oof, even the pilots sound bummed out and tired. That must’ve been a rugged one…
Flight and are attendant passenger injured
My worst fear 😢
90 degree turn on?
Perhaps the Controller was too busy playing "Twenty Questions" instead of doing a little vectoring?...
So in the air you get severe turbulence, and on the ground you get an earthquake?
I see your point. Earthquakes are indeed ‘ground turbulence.’
This is why you keep your seat belt on and limit how often you get up. While the aircraft has no problem handling severe turbulence, the squishy bags of water on the inside are not nearly as resilient.
Where you there to determine that the passenger was not wearing it?
@@VASAviation No, I'm just a pilot who has experienced plenty of turbulence, so much so that I rarely get up or even take my seat belt off on commercial flights (or really any flights).
Actually, in many circumstances human beings will withstand far greater stresses than mechanical structures. Not all but many.
Have a wonderful day? Kinda late for that.
Ooh, going through weather? 😮
I always keep my seat belt on during flights in bad weather, even if I have to pee in my pant
You should wear it even in good weather
Was it CAT (Clear Air Turbulence)?
Wasn’t there are line of TRWs moving across the area a few days ago?
Boeing-haters will blame this on Boeing as well
That actually didn't occur to me, but another Boeing whistleblower just died. People have reason to be wary of Boeing.
That sounded like @almostCaptainMorgan.
I obviously understand the flight attendants have to be on there feet looking after passengers but why doesn't the passengers wear they're seatbelts.
Have you ever gotten out of your seat to use the restroom? Also, the back injury could have occurred while the pax was seated, with belt on.
He could have been wearing the seatbelt but still getting the injury
After another absolutely stupid question from the ATC, "Was the flight attendant in the back?", it cements my belief that we have too many people in the Aviation Industry who know little to nothing about its parts outside their narrow involvement in it. What a shame. And more importantly, how can we ignore its safety implications?
Well said!
Yeah, what does it matter if the flight attendant was in the front or the back? That person sustained what sounds like a severe injury.
Sounds like there was initial confusion on whether it was a pilot or flight attendant, hence her using the word crew member and asking about cockpit or in the back.
But you’re probably right, bunch of idiots, you sound like a real tool.
They could have been in the cockpit assisting Otto.
Seems like a relevant question to me. Tower controller wanted to pass on whether or not it was a cockpit crew or cabin crew. That’s all.
I don’t know. Wear your seat belt maybe?
Were you there to see that they were not?
First!
I am very sorry for your girlfriend
@@galdavonalgerri2101 🤣🤣🤣
It was the earthquake that did it! Eclipse emergencies coming soon!
Was the boomer up and walking around with the seatbelt sign on? I see this all the time. Even “unexpected” turbulence will have some advanced warning. Good reminder to remain strapped in, don’t mess around for long when you need to get up and only when seatbelt sign is OFF.
Or the Zoomer trying the next ticktock challenge and completely ignoring the safety announcements because of headphones and ADHD
It's entirely possible to be injured even when securely belted in. Severe turbulence can subject the aircraft and its occupants to heavy accelerations along any axis. If someone is elderly and their bones and muscles aren't what they used to be it's not unreasonable to expect injuries, perhaps serious injuries.
So, stay belted in. It drastically reduces the chance of injury but doesn't eliminate it.
Like everything else in life, flying entails risk. You evaluate the risks, mitigate them as best you can, and then decide if the residual risk is acceptable.
With the cheapness of airline seats, it's entirely possible to get a back injury even when belted in...
That tower controller was kind of ignorant, who cares where the flight attendant was on the plane, it is irrelevant to the situation and frankly none of her business.
My fave was the "wonderful day" signoff. They are diverting with two potentially serious injuries, including to a crew member. Of all the things they'll be having, "wonderful day" ain't one of em.
Just to offer a possible answer - maybe the medical crew wanted to know where the injured party was so when they respond they have an idea of where they are going to try and get there quicker
@@cantliff9 this is 100% correct. But to OP's point, I'm not aware of any airline with Flight Attendants riding in the flight deck. Typically they're looking for "fwd or aft" for exactly the reasons you stated.
@@terrybarnett273 I guess they wondered if the cabin crew had been called to speak to the cockpit crew when the turbulence hit. That's the only reason I could think cabin crew would end up in the cockpit. The 'wonderful day' comment I agree with tho - she probably should have chosen a different sign off. Maybe, something along of the lines of -have a safe landing, all the best, good recovery etc
With your comment, you're showing off some kind of ignorance yourself.
1- You did not hear Tower controller at any point in this video.
2- Of course it is important where the flight attendant was. Other people around might have suffered from injuries as well -maybe internal- and paramedics will check on them as well to examine other possible injuries.
On the other hand, I've seen some of these flight attendants. Some appear to be overweight and unhealthy. Maybe strict guidelines in maintaining health is in order.
The female pilot...copilot needs to speak faster.
Why was the woman at the TPA tower asking if the injured flight attendant was in the cockpit , or in the cabin?
Just a wild ass guess here but, maybe, so the emergency responders know which direction to turn once they get on board?
For clarification to pass on to medical personnel. They wanted to be sure they knew what they were dealing with. Nothing wrong with tower asking.
If it’s one of the pilots injured, it would present an additional safety risk (if their ability to land the plane was impaired)
You noted the FAA will investigate. Out of curiosity what's to investigate if it was just a case of bad turbulance? Turbulance happens every flight and sometimes it's really bad so i don't understand.
I'm not a pilot so genuinely curious.
Probably less the turbalance that needs investigation so much as the response to it. Securing things down so they don't fly everywhere, stuff like that
