- Just out of Honolulu, the cargo door of United Airlines Flight 811 opens at an altitude of 33,000 feet, ripping a huge hole in the 747 taking out five rows of seats -and nine passengers - with it. MAYDAY investigates how delays in fixing known design faults can have tragic consequences.
Who or what was initially blamed for this disaster?
Mayday: Air Disaster - From Season 1 Episode 1 "Unlocking Disaster": For veteran pilot Captain David Cronin who’s been flying for United Airlines for almost 35 years, it’s a routine flight. For passengers Bruce Lampert and Bob and Linda Bahna, it’s a vacation trip.
As the 747 climbs to twenty-three thousand feet the passengers hear a grinding noise. Then, suddenly, the cargo door tears off, taking five rows of seats - and nine passengers - with it. The pressurized air inside the plane blasts out with explosive force.
Mayday: Air Disaster is a dramatic non-fiction series that investigates high-profile air disasters to uncover how and why they happened. Mayday: Air Disaster follows survivors, family members of crash victims and transportation safety investigators as they piece together the evidence of the causes of major accidents. So climb into the cockpit for an experience you won’t soon forget.

Who or what was initially blamed for this disaster?
Another "channel" shared this same story. They left out who the real heroes were, Kevin and Susan Cambell. Love this channel. This episode is one example of giving true accounts where others fall short.
Boeing. They knew the aluminum was not strong enough
That was A problem but not THE problem. The electrical circuit for the door switch was the problem.
Why is this so hard to Hear most of the time?!!!!!
Someone in the cockpit tripped the switch that opened up the cargo door...2 electrical failures in mid flight during 2019 were traced to coffee being spilled into the flight controls.
Fire the sound mixer.
I agree 100%
Fix the 747.
It's tolerable.
Also agree 100%!
he must have rapidly decompressed
Kevin and Susan Campbell. Took on the NTSB, Boeing and United Airlines and won. Absolute Legends.
Lee, Kevin and Susan changed/increased aviation safety, forever.
luckily, they had the financial wherewithal to do so
Yes, their son's memory lives on in their multimillion-dollar lakeside payout home.
@@randymillhouse791 Negative. You don't have the faintest idea what you are writing about. Pizz-off.
The Campbell's were extremely persistent with getting answers for their son, the passengers and crew onboard - AMAZING couple!
With parents like that, the Campbell's son must have been an extraordinary young man and devasting loss. We, the public, owe them a huge debt of gratitude. They undoubtedly saved countless lives.
@terri…not only parents like that, but a father who was an engineer! They lsot their only child/son and nobody was taking them seriously till they made themselves clear they weren’t going to put up with nonsense.
Wouldn’t everyone love people like that having your back?! Just think how many poor people have nobody to defend them?
@@TheGirlnurse Absolutely, sparing even one family from mourning a deceased rel.
@@marinazagrai1623bcvddvgdffd
@@marinazagrai1623 That's why it's important to have more children. You never know what may happen to one.
Even though 9 died, the captain is truly a hero for saving the lives of the 18 crew and 238 passengers. RIP for those who were lost and their families. 🙏
Boeing said the 9 who died only cost $75,682
The number of those saved was actually 346, it was a jumbo jet
แน่นอน คนรอดตาย มากกว่าคนตาย นักบิน คือฮีโร่
@@mollybolton8425 oh my god thats expensive
@ryaroxine3667 is correct. There were 355 souls on board at the time of the accident (337 passengers and 18 crew). Nine died and 38 were injured, leaving 346 survivors.
We all owe a debt of gratitude to the parents of this young man, who lost his life, along with eight other souls. It is very fortunate that his father was an engineer, and did so much to protect future passengers and flight crews. Great respect to all of these good people.
they are extraordinary people
Absolutely correct!
@@mooncricket8192 You must be a tRumper.
@@alneal100 You and Moon must a obiden lovers. Stop bringing politics into this. I see you libtards still crying about Trump.
@Moon Cricket What's so funny about this? What makes you think its funny how people are trying to make flying more safe? Is safety a joke to you? Are losing lives funny to you? You're a sick and twisted individual.
The fact that the pilots can stay so calm and focused with all that going on is incredible.
Pilots probably caused this catastrophe when they tripped the switch that opens the cargo door in mid ✈️ flight!
@@johnrogan9420 that’s impossible airliners can’t open cargo doors in midair
@@DarkestVictory The design flaw finally came to life…the door split apart from the plane taking those passengers that died (the Campbell’s son).
@@johnrogan9420 I don’t think you paid attention…the door had a design flaw (along with the metal, Al, which was too weak) problem of which Boeing was aware since that accident in the mid ‘70s.
some people focus under pressure, others fold. I don't think it's easy to know who will do what, but obviously experience in those situations helps, and one can help prepare for that with training. An interesting counter-example is Air France 447 which stalled all the way from altitude into the sea - both pilots kind of froze under the pressure and forgot what to do.
Mr Campbell restores old Jags... He knew his way around engineering and anything mechanical. He should have been invited *into* the NTSB team. Did a better job than the rest of them.
Seems the NTSB and the manufacturer knew what caused the problem. The airlines took the option to deal with it as a non-emergency. Seems like an organized cover up by the three government and corporate actors. Nothing new here.
The Campbells are an amazing couple.
❤
except a car and a plane are not the same mechanics!
@@HermelThePolyglot If you bother to watch the video you'll see this is about a simple lock mechanism which he even replicates with his own tools. Nothing to do with strictly aviation-oriented aspects. A talented mechanically-inclined mind and superb manual skill are most useful here.
This set of parents are so impressive. Their son would have most likely lived an exemplary life as well! Such a loss to the world.
Damn… those 9 people. One second your sitting in a chair. Then next your watching the plane fly away as you fall.
Really scary 😨 😳 😬
Their bodies were never recovered and someone was sucked by engine. 3
Anew real life scary dream !!!
@@HowieHoward-ti3dxGod takes away suffering in death....
Yeah that sucks.. in more ways than one 😉
I can see why Lee came to say goodbye to his mum after his unfortunate end. They love him so much ❤
If he had to die, how wonderful it was that he got to say goodbye to his mom. And perhaps it was a dual purpose visit-a sign from him for his parents to fight hard to save the lives of others.
Amazing work by Campbells. Hats off to them. So sad of their son's demise. May his soul Rest In Peace.
The pilots and cabin crew did an amazing job. RIP to those passengers who didn't make it.
Although I'm sorry for their terrible loss, I'm glad there are people like the Campbell's in the world who fought so hard and long to see that problem fixed in their son's memory. There son may be gone, but I imagine a lot of other sons and daughters are still around thanks to their perseverance.
I love that they “acquired” those docs…. They were both pretty chuffed
Oh no is this one of those episodes where the editor decided that sound effects were more important than the narrators voice
I appreciate these comments so much. Let’s me know real quick that I can skip this replay.
it's not actually an official channel, that's why
I need headphones.... it's still listenable, but only just.. Like Led Zeppelin
Oh my this is one of those channels that make people whine and complain about free content.
@@spikenomoonare you part of the crew? I’m sure they can take some constructive critique. Shut up.
Props to both Mr and Mrs Campbell. I could never imagine losing a child to a situation like this. Let alone, holding in his hand the item that initially caused the accident. Huge respect.
@Jamieloera36 I don’t understand what you mean he was holding the thing in his hand that caused the accident.
???????????????????
@@paulahunt3508probably the door latch that failed
"It was a four-minute fall" (Kevin Campbell said because they hoped it was their son that went through the engine). Four minutes. I stopped the video as my clock just turned over to 8:11pm. I stared at my clock, trying to imagine what would go through someone's mind as they fell to earth, in the blackness of night over an ocean.... for FOUR MINUTES. By 8:13pm I was nearly in tears... by 8:15pm (four minutes) I realized just how LONG that truly is. I can only hope they fell unconscious due to lack of oxygen, or just plain fear. It's unfathomly horrifying to think of.
4 absolutely terrifying minutes..
Jesus.. I can't even imagine....
🍻🍻
Am I right that they were at 30K feet when the door blew off? Many seats hit the wing as they went out. Some clearly died right then. I’d like to think that the lack of oxygen at 30K feet and the concussion of being blown out at that speed rendered them unconscious but I’m no expert on such things. Obviously the pilots never lost consciousness from the lack of oxygen.
@@prevost8686 There was no mention (unless I missed it) of the wing being damaged. There was evidence mentioned of ... human tissue from one person inside the broken engine. If I did miss it and there was evidence that some hit the wing, I hope for their sakes it was quick and painless.
@@amydavis4945 I’m trying not to dwell on it too much….👍
Since no one inside the plane passed out from lack of oxygen, someone falling to the ocean wouldn't pass out either.
15:34 It sounds like his mother saw his ghost on the day he died. “As I woke up, he faded, he wasn’t there.”
Creepy, RIP Lee Campbell, you are not forgotten. 🙏🏻✝️
These pilots are astounding in their capabilities. Not just heroes but HEROES.
I have been binge watching these videos....these stories are so tragic. RIP to all that have died in these events
Did you get to Swissair 111? Fire from wiring overheating.
Then Tenerife. Flight 191, Chicago...JAL 123...
Through their loss of their son they have saved many lives and helped many too come what a beautiful tribute too their son .
Cost of doing business. Very chilling. Although the investigations and revelations of the cause was very intriguing, I felt that the performance of the flight crew was completely overlooked in this film. I am in awe that the crew was able to safely land this airliner considering the condition of this plane. That huge hole and two engines down. These guys should have been featured at some point in the second part of the video.
This flight crew was the definition of superb airmanship. The captain and FO were awesome. I would want these guys flying every time I get on a plane.
Hats off to the Pilot and the Team for their great efforts in saving the plane and the passengers.
The old are planes don't fly on old dangerous wiring is
@@cindytaber7476 I did not understand
@@cindytaber7476*English please*
The Campbell's are geniuses. I'm glad I wasn't born back in the days that cargo doors opened outward. That's scary because of what happened on this flight. I'm glad the pilots made it back to land safely as they did.
Cargo doors still open outward, that hasn't changed.
@IluvSD40s I know. I've seen some of the planes I've been on have outward cargo doors, and some had inward cargo doors. I never fear. I've been in flights that have been through similar situations as seen on this channel. Downdraft, windshear, and suddenly dropping in the sky from turbulence. I was also in a plane that got hit by lightning. Obviously. I'm still here, and none of the planes that I was on had any issues. The only thing that happened when we were in the plane that dropped 100s of feet a few times during extreme turbulence was that the overhead bins flew open and carry on luggage hit the ceiling and fell down, then back up, then down as the plane dropped and steadied itself after the 3rd and final drop. That was the only time that I was ever screaming terrified on a plane. Aeromexico handled it greatly, and we landed safely with no one injured and no damage to the plane. The pilots told all of us passengers all that.
@@soupwifeyI definitely want doors that open IN, the normal way. The hole is actually smaller than the door. So assuming they put the BOLTS back, it's not going anywhere
Determination, dedication, and love of their lost son, and the others have achieved wonders in safety.
I’m sitting here thinking about the Campbell’s and their son Lee and even though I’ve watched this episode several times and can’t stop crying. It’s taken me back to younger years and all the many times flying around the and the close calls we had as a young family. It’s heartbreaking 😢
Will never forget this. I worked for Aloha at the airport the morning it happened. They parked it on the Sand Island side of the Airport with the Hole facing Away from the terminal so people couldnt see the Hole. Would've been a News FEAST if they parked it with the hole facing the other way. I took a Tug across the field and checked it out. The hole was SOOO much larger then what one sees in the Media. Shocking. Sorry for the Victims..RIP. Those Parents and their Son are Heroes.
Your airline had a terrible accident with an explosive decompression with a 737. The fuselage was impacted by corrosion.
@@peterbradshaw8018 Yes, dad was having lunch with the President of Aloha (Maurice Meyers ; thats how I got the job!) the day that happened at the Waialae Country Club. He said he looked like he saw a ghost when he got the news. Then he had to dart away to the airport leaving my dad with the Tab (oh well). Unintentionally, of course.
@@bill2066 Did you know a Vice-President of Finance at Aloha Airlines with the last name Haliday or Holiday? In 1981 and later? I can’t remember his first name. His wife, Debra was my best friend, and I moved to Hawaii in 1982 to live near her.
@@peakydene1943 No, i Didnt know that person. I was a freight clerk so didnt know any corporate people
The word 'Hero' gets thrown around far too often these days.
These two are heroes in the truest sense.
The fact that they got back to Honolulu was amazing after that disastrous decompression. Boeing and the FAA are lucky that it was only nine people who were killed in one accident when it could’ve been hundreds. The Campbell’s are heroes for their investigation to make sure that more lives weren’t lost.
God bless this family. They TRULY went above and beyond what most folks just wouldn't be able too go through. I'm glad they got vindication for their son. What a horrific way too die.
What these parents did was heroic and worthy of praise but can we finally retire the ridiculous and insulting "god bless"? How exactly did god bless this family by killing their son in such a horrific way? Could it be that this god is a fantasy made up by fanatical and delusional ancient middle easterners that has no justification in modern life? Humans have no idea how to deal with death and grief. Fair enough. But injecting the absurd idea that somehow this family is blessed is embarrassing and shameful.
I have such respect for the Campbells. They didn't relent until the issue that caused their sons death was fixed so that no one else would meet the same fate. Incredible resolve, rip to their son
Lee Campbell’s parents are most definitely heroes in this story! Amazing tenacity to make aviation safer so other families don’t go through the pain they went through. This undoubtedly would have happened again had it not been for their work!!
Dont forget pilots
So heartbreaking for this family who lost their son. I am in tears.
Sad that two parents did a better job than payed investigators.also scary
Wow, I'm so impressed by this couple, the advocates for future passengers. They are compassionate people and highly intelligent. Bold and generous people. A lovely couple and a wonderful parent to their son. I think he passed out when he blew out of the plane. I think his soul left his body before he physically died. The important take away is his soul appeared to his mother to let her know he was in a Heavenly peaceful place. Before she had learned of his death, he was there beside her, smiling. All three of them are beautiful souls and their son is an important piece of this story. 💜💖🦋💚
Beautifully written
I hope to God those falling passed out. And the one who went thru the engine, shutter! All those people 💔 But I agree with what you said & agree that it was well said✌️
It amazing to see a father in his garage founded the cause of the crash before a governmental agency with a team of experts and with sofestigate tools.
sophisticated?
Making the exact model and proving that it was faulty and didn't work was an amazing display of expertise. This is the man they should have hired to design the doors of the planes.
I mean they stole documents from the agency so yeah.
Seeing how they sabatoged the NTSB by stealing documents... how are they not in jail is beyond me.
@ShionWinkler are you that dumb? They have the right to know the damn truth...
I really could not imagine experiencing anything like this.on another video, one of the pilots stated that there's absolutely nothing that they can tell you in training that will prepare you for a a mechanical issue or a catastrophe in the air. That you're just left to your wits and ability to keep calm and stay focused. So my hat's off to these guys. Nine were lost yes, but almost 250 people were saved that's including the Staff. I couldn't imagine being blown up or sucked out of the plane into the atmosphere Free Falling to my death I just cannot imagine it.😢
I think the crew did a wonderful job. ❤
what a horrifying story, I can't imagine how horrified it was for those 9 people
Thank you to the Campbells for their work.
I met Mr. Campbell in Auckland and he's very respectable, intelligent man but didnt know about his son was on this plane accident until I seen this video. RIP 😔 bless his soul.
When did he die?
If there ever is a Noble Aviation Award, then these pilots and the flight attendant deserve it....I am so inspired ❤-Atiya Suboohi Uroosa
Brave Pilots, Engineer, Crew Member and more importantly all the passengers in that flight ✈️
What is wrong with the sound mixing on some of these videos?
This is a common problem when you change 5.1 audio to 2.1, if you don't do it properly the center channel is muted out. Luckily I'm watching this on a TV that has speech enhancement. It helps.
They probably were originally 5.1 surround and a poor downmix to stereo was performed
this is not an official channel, that's why. They are just reuploading and pretending to be official, and since they have been profiting for years they are lazy about quality and uploads. That is why the quality issues. WonderDocs channel has seasons 1-9 officially uploaded on youtube.
The sound is complete crap on this one. It's almost impossible to hear the narrator.
Why are you here if you dont want to see. At least you do get all the information you want.
Let it be guys a humble request.
In my 38 years of experience, this incident was my first and one of the worst incidents i've ever had to deal with. It's because of this that I keep my seatbelt drawn tight during every flight after this incident. I wasn't on the flight but a first responder to the incident. I also had the "opportunity" to do multiple walk arounds of this bird the following 6 months after the incident. I wouldn't wish this on anybody. Not even my worst enemy. There are four visions that never left my head. One, that's not the worst, is seeing a bent steel arm rest of the seat that was at the edge of the hole in the floor towards the middle of the plane. From what I was told, the individual that was sitting there wasn't wearing his seatbelt. His body bent the armrest as he was sucked out. The seatbelt could have definitely saved him but who in their right mind thinks the side of the plane is getting ready to rip open???? Prayers to all of the survivors that were on that plane and to the loved ones of the 9 that didn't make it.
We should all be grateful for their tenacity in persuading the NTSB and others of the electrical issue. Sadly the airlines will always take lives in stride as the cost of doing business. The airlines will always look too their bottom line, your life means nothing.
let's not forget the amazing achievements these airlines and manufactures make. People FLOCK to these airlines and throw them their money because the planes simply are too convenient. The bottom line of any company is to make money. Without money there is no innovation. Without innovation such conveniences as airlines will not exist.
Yes,exactly like the government.
@J Rambo Do you mean like gop taking 15+ million dollars annually from the NRA to keep assault weapon on street?
Or do you mean the gop rolling back safety regulations so corporations make even more money with less oversight putting consumers at greater risk?
Simple solution ...
Stop voting for people who only want lobbyist money for campaigns and don't want to fix these problems.
Oh, our lives mean something, the price of a ticket. That's what the big wigs care about and that is profit.
I’ve got 4 trips coming up in the next 2 months. I’ve been obsessively watching this channel. Not quite sure why. Maybe I’m insane
Its remarkable how skilled and confident these pilots are.
Watching this I feel like I’ve dodged a dozen bullets. As a kid I flew on 747’s many times with my parents in the 70’s and 80’s🤯😳
Mayday Documentary Production Team: We must keep up with the times and remake some old episodes.
*Boeing: Okay, we have remade it.*
Production Team & Alaska Airlines: Excuse me?
Boeing:?
Might as well add the Haneda disaster with LAX 1991 with the remakes too
I hope the parents found the worker who managed the door and told him it wasn't his fault. Imagine living with blame from the company and ntsb
Thank You to Campbells...It takes a lot of courage to come out of trauma of losing your son & then doing such an intensive research for the good of others. We owe you a lot of gratitude and may your son's ( who died because of Boeng's fault) soul rest in peace.
So impressed with the Campbells and sorry for their loss and the loss of the other 8 souls. Thanks for the extraordinary captain and crew.
Absolute legends, those parents! And the pilots and crew on that plane too. And watching this after the MAXX disaster and realizing Boeing learned nothing bc they don't care about us. They care more about $. Crazy.
I watch these air videos all the time. Many times, it is not a crash but a save. However, in one's like this, my heart goes out to the people and family! In this one, you can't help feeling more for the poor people who fell to their end. R.I.P. TO all them.
They no doubt died instantly due the immediate decompression in getting sucked out instantly!! They probably died before they knew what was happening!! It’s still very sad!!😔
@@carolinelogie7721 Actually, there is a substantial chance that some regained consciousness at around 15,000 ft, or whatever altitude at which the partial pressure of oxygen allows us to inflate and deflate our lungs. Unless they were serious injured as they were sucked out of the aircraft, it would still leave a minute or two of consciousness while free-falling, knowing their deaths were entirely certain. In comparison, people that jumped out of the WTC as fires approached them were in the air about 10 seconds before they hit the ground. Either way, it’s a horrifying thought, and I pray that none of the them suffered.
This disaster happened in Hawaii just months after the notorious ripping-open of the Aloha Airlines plane that was flying between two Hawaiian islands - two air catastrophes in the same place, very close together.
The girl crawling to help her passengers was a badass.
A big salute to the parents, absolutely selfless and daring act spending their time, money and energy to relentlessly pursue the truth and fight for justice. I am a big fan of the series and have watched a lot of these accident documentaries, but this one truly moved me. It is so sad to know how the greed for profit drives these unscrupulous corporates to commit acts of negligence.
What an amazing couple, Kevin and Susan Campbell. With fantastic parents like that, I'm sure their great-looking son, Lee, would have done incredible things too, if only he'd had his chance.
*RIP (Captain) David Cronin (Oct. 4, 2010), (First Officer) Gregory Slader (Sept. 26, 2016), Lee Campbell and all those lost on Flight 811.* A tragedy that should have never occurred.
Which one survives a plane incident to die in a car wreck?
48:25 The list of crashes caused by faulty wiring insulation should must include Swissair Flight 111 (2 Sept. 1998, 229 fatalities), an MD-11.
I remember that so well. Horrifying to know you're going to crash. Even moreso, as I believe it took four to six minutes for Swiss Air 111 to crash off Peggy's Cove.
Campbells showed us how to fight the Battle and win the War.
So many times we sit and complain and spin our wheels but not the Campbells.
Grab the files, honey.
Done.
Super heroes!
It’s true. Ford did the samething with the Pinto. They knew the problem but fixing it was more expensive than paying off the plaintiffs of loved ones killed. That’s business folks.
So are more modern day planes equipped with rear facing cameras or fire sensors, or are we still flying planes built in 1985? It seems crazy to me that there was nothing in the cockpit to tell the pilots wtf was going on back there....
I feel the pain of the father and mother
I can’t think of anything more frightening then to go through something like this!
04/12/23 Good story. Wish the volume was better. In many cases the sound effects are louder than the narration. It would be handy if you could include the date of the disaster and the date of publication.
Concur w/ the low volumne.
I agree on volume issues but.. unless you're blind or not paying attention, the video clearly states this happened 24th February 1989.
Google can be your friend if you wish to really know more, just search UA flight 811.
I'm not sure what publication date you're looking for since there is literally *more* info and links when you touch the word *more* under the video description.
When you aboard a plane. You're no longer a person. You are a Soul.
That word is used intentionally. ATC asks how many souls are on board to provide the information to rescue crews. Aircraft frequently carry non-living persons as cargo, those who expire in one location but need to be transported to another for burial. If the aircraft crashes on landing, the rescuers wouldn't count a body that's been deceased for some time as one of the "souls" on board.
Well, while the plane is certainly significantly more dangerous than a train concerning probability of death per travelled hour (only safest per travelled mile is the plane), it’s still „only“ one in a million that someone dies in an average flight….
That Cambell man is clearly very smart . Good for him to figure out what the real cause of the crash was
Pilots were professional stayed calm and didn't panic.
This is an amazing story. Kudos to the Campbells for their tenacity.
The guy who took those pictures was an absolute legend.
Much respect to this couple for finding the facts.
It just shows how the NTSB is just as corrupt and any other government agency. When they swear that the air conditioning blew up TWA 800 even though several people from several angles who didn't know each other, and never met, all said they saw a missile, why should we believe any of them? The persistence of this family is amazing. I really admire them.
Lee’s mum spoke about her visit from Lee and it reminded me when I had my near fatal car accident many years ago I was in a comma but my mother woke up with a start seeing me at the exact time my accident occurred and she woke dad up who was a police officer telling him something is wrong with me things aren’t right. They got up and boiled the jog to try to settle down as this was before mobile phones and they knew I was commencing a new job that morning and I would be on my way to start my shift. 20 minutes later they get the call luckily I had my id and I had moved recently not changing my address so they called the station which was my fathers station and they all knew who I was at that stage it wasn’t good so the officer (a personal friend of my parents and myself) was the one who received the call and had to call dad. I was lucky and recovered so my heart goes out to lee’s parents and his mum who got his message
Thank you Mr/Mrs. Campbell
Respect to the crew who were calm and collected, anybody else would've panicked
Those poor passengers what a horrific tragedy. Why in heaven's name aren't outward-opening cargo doors in planes just banned outright?
The laywer is really an airplanespecialist for knowing that fire in the engine is not a good thing😂😂😂
I’m just hate flying anymore . Too much can go wrong !! Too many variables with mechanical issues , pilots, passengers , mechanics and the company cutting costs to name a few . And now all the crap with TSA and not even allowing friends or family to come sit while waiting at the airport anymore. It’s just a daunting and scary thing to do anymore . So sad for those lost . God bless them . 😢❤️🙏🏻
These people are lucky they didn't disappear... going up against such a powerful bunch off people ..some who tryed to hide the truth ...bless them 😊
Wow! The Campbell's are my kind of people. Heroes to us and their son who, no doubt, would be so proud! If only we could infuse some Campbell's integrity, bravery, common sense, backbone, and determination into the FAA...
Some captain's and crew are Real Hero's when they shouldn't need to be !!! But I'm glad you are the Best Of The Best when it count's !!! Thank you !!! Just an observation
Hello mr and mrs Campbell. First of all i am deeply sorry for the loss of your son. your strength and resolve is unmatched. Thank you
I flew several times on 747's in the early 70's and feel really lucky now.
My great grandmother Mary Kay Lindsay was on this flight, and she always says if it wasn't for my Uncle Ned, the plane would have never made it! Thanks Uncle Ned!
Mad respect for the Campbells 👏🏻
How pilots stay calm in such situations is amazing to me. Trainig or not. I havent yet found a documentary where a pilot freaked out and just went down screaming. They make their last statements so calmly. Like "here we go baby". Heard that one from a flight that went down with no survivers.
This video is very immersive. I felt like I was in one of those seats with this audio!
God bless these parents and may the victims that were never recovered continue to Rest wherever they may be 😢🙏🏾💔🕊️
Typical to blame the little guy… the worker who handled the door🤦🏻♀️ I’m grateful the Campbells kept on with their determination, otherwise this faulty system, unchanged was bound to take more lives.
I’m sure if the pilots had not survived, they’d blamed them
Campbells were such heroes!!! Excellent documentary. The coverup was the agencies, NTSB or whoever. FAA? Trying to blame it on the maintenance team or a single mechanic. While ignoring the deeper (electrical) flaw. Many bravos to the Campbells for their smarts, and perseverence..
This was a few weeks after I returned from America so it was a shock.I had only been back in Australia two weeks after my first time to the USA in 1989.we flew Continental and I would not have been surprised after what happened at United in light of this accident people switching to continental or air New Zealand or qantas under the circumstances.
sorry but this is not watchable. the sound is so bad, I can barely hear the people talk...
Props to the sound mixer for making this video so interactive
Mr Campbell is my hero. Lost his son but jumped to steer the investigation to deliver the truth. Otherwise, the NTSB was going to lie
Mr. Campbell is a total badass. Mrs. Campbell too. Heroes.
did the sound designer quit?
If he didnt,he needs to be fired.
Good JOB!!! TO THE PILOTS.
Blessings to the lost souls … angels in heaven… campbell’s son …. So proud of his mom and dad … heart wrenching video
Thank you Mr Campbell, you just made this person who's afraid of flying feel safer.
