- Transair Flight 810, a Boeing 737-200 converted freighter aircraft on a short cargo flight en route from Honolulu International Airport to Kahului Airport on the neighboring Hawaiian island of Maui, experienced mechanical difficulties and crashed shortly after takeoff in the early morning of July 2, 2021. The twin-engined plane was owned and operated by Rhoades Aviation under the Transair trade name, and had a crew of two. Both Pratt & Whitney JT8D turbofans faltered shortly after takeoff. Unable to maintain altitude, the pilots ditched off the coast of Oahu about 11 minutes into the flight.

Airliner has to Land on Water After Both Engines Fail - Наука та технологія
After seeing that wreckage it makes me think these pilots were really lucky to have made it out alive.
definitely, i think they're lucky the plane didn't rip apart at the cockpit and did so in the middle or I think they would have been goners.
Amen to that! I was sure the pilots were goners and was happily surprised they both survived.
It’s crazy seeing you cover this I was at HNL airport working, we had to do a engine run and all of the sudden ramp control told us to standby later we Learned that a plane had just gone down. We were always wondering what happened or I mean why it happened. It’s a shame they haven’t come out with it but thank you for covering this!!! By the way I personally 100% think it was their shoddy maintenance practices. Just from what I’ve heard from people who used to work there. Any ways Regards from PHNL !
It's always nice to hear from people who have a background story that relates to the stories I tell! 👍🏻
I had heard about this incident, the morning after it happened actually. And I was relieved when it was announced the pilots had gotten out!
I would be very surprised if the poor maintenance of the engines was not found to be the main factor in the incident.
I used to fly the Shorts SD3-60. One time as we taxied out, at Glasgow an Air Canada, who was behind us asked ATC what type he was following. ATC replied that they called it a 'Shed', which is true- even we called it a Shed. Capt. Corson replied 'It's a Shorts SD3-60, actually'. The Air Canada Capt said 'Gee thanks, did you build it yourself?'
haha 😄
That’s fucking hilarious
Out here in Hawaii, Transair has pretty poor reputation due to precisely what was covered in this video. There is lots of talk on the ramp about what lead up to flight 810 having to ditch. Recently, one of their 737-200's were operating under part 91, which most certainly says something.
@@fluke196c To be honest it was a lot of hear say. I did see one of their 737's operating yesterday under Transair rather than Rhodes Express.
Operating yesterday!¡¿🤕😱
How! If the video is right, the company cannot really fly them, right¿
@@sailaab Likely under contract with another airline (Likely Chrono Aviation).
Two very fortunate pilots! But from what you described and the information provided from the FAA, this company (Transair) was an accident waiting to happen. Interesting episode, Airspace!! Thanks for sharing!! 👍✈✈👍
The Transair 810 plane was a sister plane to the one that crashed in Cranbrook BC in 1978 as Pacific Western 314.
I have to think that any A&P mechanic working on commercial airliners, would have an attitude of "I want to feel confident that my family will be safe on any aircraft." The company became complacent over time and each day, it was business as usual, meaning all those physically servicing the planes, followed company directives and they too became complacent. Just my opinion. Great work as always, Airspace! Despite the level of panic that would've been going on, I find you have a very calming voice. It makes it so much easier to watch these videos regardless of the outcome.
Was there any A&P mechanics actually working on these? And it also begs the question why would the pilots even get into these aircraft?
The crew definitely was left in the dark after the second engine failed. Emergency power provides for only limited cockpit lighting, and no lights on the outside of the airplane. They ditched in total darkness.
Awesome video as always, Thanks you for this amazing content
thanks :)
"Leave you hanging" with a picture of the -200 hanging in a sling.. Great stuff! Thank you!
oh man, I had not noticed 🙈 😄
Thanks Airspace !
Thankfully both pilots survived.
Well-made and interesting video as always! I did know about this crash, but only from right at the time when it happened, so I found it interesting to get to know more. Happy that the pilots made it out alive, that must have been difficult.
Brilliant production did miss you though. I have seen a show about how Rolls Royce make their engines and I found it fascinating . The fan blades where a main part of this show and the moulds were when I watched crafted by hand to direct and specific tolerances . I am not sure if it was the whole fan blade or the seating for it on the shaft but it was painstaking work done by hand and all of it was thoroughly checked by computer. At the time they also did a destruction test on the engines fitted to the A380. That was amazing . They run the thing at nearly full tilt and they have a high explosive coating one of those blades and they blow it up . The building shook but the engine housing did not break and the debris was fully contained within the cowling. Amazing stuff and you have to be an idiot to use sub standard parts on jet engines.

Any links to that?
Welcome back bro
As usual, excellent content, among the best of its kind. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks!
You are awesome as always.
This old, poorly maintained bird not only had a lot of hours on the clock but also a huge amount of cycles, if it did Hawaii-local flights. Therefore, I think, the high cycle count caused abnormal wear, not noticed by inspections. This might turn out to be a very interesting case.
Please keep an eye on it and keep us informed.
Reminds me of Aloha 243. Roof separated because of cracks due to way too many cycles
goog esipose, love the recent ons!
Really goes to show how regulation and government oversight is crucial to the safety of the airline industry.
The main maintenance issue of a 737-200 is the 737-200 itself.
Your videos are excellent, btw!
thank you!
They were operating under part 91, which even for me, as a student pilot is not a good standard. I agree with your thesis entirely. This was a hot mess and an accident just waiting to happen. You made my evening here, after a difficult day. I always go to cozy/happy mode when you and a couple of other creators here get into analysis and description of accidents and incidents. Job well done, even with the speculation 😀
Must be something about that part of the world, certainly not the first poorly maintained aircraft there to have a terrible accident, Aloha Airlines being another!
The problem is that Hawaii is a salt water environment and that salt from the ocean mixes with the air and humidity and the salt corrosion on aircraft and their engines gets really bad, another thing is these planes experience a lot of take off and landing cycles because they're island hoppers, most flights are 15 to 30 minutes long so those landings and take offs put a lot of strain on the airframe. Aloha Airlines lost part of it's roof and that was because the aircraft exceeded it's landing and take off cycles for that airframe, plus with the salty environment it was a recipe for disaster. Aircraft in salty environments require more corrosion inspections than aircraft that fly in non salty environments. For example i flew in the Navy the P-3 Orion aircraft and we had a special high pressure washer built into the ground that we had to taxi our aircraft through after each flight to get the salt off the aircraft.
i was there when it happened it was crazy everyone was talking about it
Subbed solely because of the Rammstein cover
As an ATC, I wish the FAA had been more on top of their shoddy maintenance.
I think your analysis is plausible. But often accidents happen for multiple reasons. So perhaps there could be more issues beyond the initial engine failure.
great video! will you still be uploading videos, now that travel restrictions are almost completely suspended? i hope to see more in the future
thank you! I shall try - can't promise it though, it kind of depends on my roster. Also, youtube doesn't promote my videos as much anymore, it's quite hard to cover my costs for the channel at the moment...
Thank you for the update. I think your hypothesis sounds feasible.
If its as bad as it seems, I wouldn't be shocked it we see the pilots sue what is left of the airline for gross negligence.
Makes me shudder at the thought... that if this be the case in a fairly regulated or controlled region like the U.S. of A (albeit with usual corporate greed or capitalism influencing laws and their enforcement)... then how bad or otherwise the situation might be in.. say South Asia, South East Asia or se African carriers.
.
As someone from South Asia, I used to be wary of any close person ever having to fly even our national carrier.
.
Maintenance or what things the company allows to happen or closes its eyes on certain lapses, willful neglect... are things to ponder.
Captain Sullenberger's first name is not Sully, it is Chesley.
i'm glad the pilots didn't seem to be in trouble for making any mistakes, though...if the company went under then that's still not good for them :-( i wonder where management of a disgraced company end up going?
Looking at the title is this About the Catus 1549 thing
It must be horrifying hearing the air along the fuselage, warning alarms going off, knowing you are only tens of feet from impacting the ocean and when you look out the windows all you see is black nothingness until the last few moments before the ocean rises to meet you before just impact
*just before impact.... Whoops.
Video won’t play for me. All I get is a black screen with the spinning white circle thing. Other videos on UA-cam play just fine.
They couldn’t make ends meet, so instead they met their end…
do alaska flight 261
Will you redo this video once the Milviz 737-200 comes out for MSFS? There's also a really good looking freeware one currently in development.
no, probably not
This incident, and after having seen many videos on accidents resulting from poor maintenance, I wonder to what extent pilots are aware of the maintenance status of the airplanes they are flying.
Is it at all possible for a pilot to have access to this information?
Or are they just expected to assume everything is being done according to standards and ask no further questions?
This also comes to mind considering there have been instances where an issue kept reoccurring, different flight crews having had to deal with it, until the last crew that had to deal with it, was in fact the last crew that dealt with it, so to speak.
usually, we have good awareness - but I guess that depends on the airline you work at
If you desire to run an Airline (safely!) be prepared to pay - no PAX involved, glad the AMAZING Crew made it. If wanting to operate obsolete Planes contact Buffalo Air, Canada and ask for Mickie (or better, his Dad!)
That's that reality TV show about a regional cargo airline operating around Canada and Alaska, right? Ice Pilots, or something like that?
How do airlines especially in the US in modern times still get away with not maintaining their aircraft??
I asked myself the same thing
Shady record keeping
I suppose the same way people/companies get away with things in other parts of the world... greed and a willingness to lie and break the law.
🍿
I don't know why you premiered the video, but youtube doesn't send a notification (at least to me) so if this has less views than usual that might be the issue
man, youtube...
make sure to turn on the bell, that should help
I did get one with all notifications turned on
@@AirspaceVideos I do have all notifications, but I still didn't get one. The premier feature hardly works, it doesn't tell you when a premier will happen and sometimes it doesn't tell you when the video is available. I guess community posts should be uploaded when you release the video since they seem to appear even in unsubscribed people's feeds
How did the Pilots manage to get out?
The cockpit escape hatch is closed as is the forward right cabin door. The copilot's window appears to be open in the underwater shot and is open when the forward fuselage in being craned on deck. A guess: they escaped through the cockpit side window(s)
that, or simply through the gaping hole in the fuselage
How is this airline still allowed to operate?
It's not.
Well done! Where have you been? 😀 True, can’t jump to conclusions. But common sense would tell us that nothing will run indefinitely without some kind of maintenance. I wonder if the pilots were aware of the lack of maintenance? It’s a game of Russian Roulette. I just hope the owners of the airline will receive some sort of punishment for negligence (failure to maintain the aircraft) and endangerment of the pilots’ lives.
took a holiday ;)
@@AirspaceVideosexcellentI It’s very important to recharge your batteries! Humans also don’t run well without some kind of maintenance! 😀
indeed 🔋⚡
Why didn't you just wait until after the investigation to make this video
I never understood why Aircraft are allowed to continue flight with only one engine. Everything has to be double or tripple redundancy in aviation, but flighing on one engine is ok? Makes no sense to me. I get that an engine failure is no reason to declare an emergency right away, but a pan pan call and a landing at the nearest airport available should be mandatory.
It is!
The revocation of their air operator's certificate should be followed by a criminal investigation in which those responsible for the maintenance and record keeping lapses face jail time.
Since you showed footage of it, I expected a video about Ethiopian flight 961. Instead we got something halfbaken about a crash not even a year ago.
I'd recommend you (as I always do) to stick to accidents or incidents with a official final report behind it!
Until then, keep up the good work!
Why?
There are just so many speculations in that video and in the end we still don't know for sure why all of that happend.
Usually you make proper dokumentations. Like: First happend this, caused by this and every thing led to that.
In that case, it doesn't matter that much because no one died but I don't really like specuations concerning plane crashes.
Have a good one!
Just one question. At [ 0:25 ] we see the cockpit section sitting on the sea bed. Then at [ 6:57 ] we see the forward fuselage being hoisted onto the barge and the cockpit appears to have grown substantially more structure behind it. Anyone care to try to explain this? lol
As a citizen of a ruthlessly capitalist country, let me assure you that if something cuts costs, even if it risks lives, so long as it saves more money in immediate costs than it risks through lawsuits due to injury or loss of life, those cost cuts will be implemented knowing full well that there are likely to eventually be lives lost as a result.
Be suspicious when political candidates promise to get rid of "burdensome" regulations. Of course some agencies have a few silly regs, but the FAA is usually worth supporting.
First
Yet another excellently narrated and well produced mini capsule.👌🏽👍🏼🤍💙
