      Fortunately this ended up with no fatalities. However, there was a midair collision a year later over Uberlingen, Germany, between a DHL flight and a Bashkirian Airways flight. A similar situation, but both the controller (who was overloaded due to heavy understaffing) and TCAS (gave conflicting instructions to both flights) were to blame. By the time the pilots saw one another and tried to avoid disaster, it was too late. The DHL plane's tail sliced the Bashkirian plane's cockpit and forward passenger cabin off, and both crashed. An earlier comment noted that the recommendations for the previous near-miss were only published 11 days after this accident.
      Ironically in a twist of fate, the controller was later murdered by the father and husband of two of the victims of the Bashkirian flight at his home in Switzerland.

      @@Gameflyer001 The controller was not overloaded, it was night time, but the maintenance failed to warn him that the STCA (short term conflict alert) had been desactivated for maintenance. It's something that flashes red on the radar screen if two planes have potentially dangerous trajectories.
      The controller detected the issue quite late, and told one pilot to climb and the other to descend. The onboard TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) however said the opposite to pilots, and one pilot listened to the TCAS (and that's the right thing to do) and the other listened to the controller (wrong thing to do). So the TCAS didn't give conflicting instructions.
      Anyway now it's clear in controller training : if a pilot says "RA TCAS", the only thing you have to answer is "Roger".
      So three people are to blame : the controller who didn't detect the conflict, the pilot who ignored his TCAS and the maintenance guys who didn't warn the controller of the STCA's deactivation.

      @@Wonderkid44 completely agreed. The US has laws to protect people in cases like this, but I guess Japan doesn't. It was a complete accident with no intent to actually kill people, so I'm confused why they were sent to prison. They should have gotten some punishment, but making a mistake is the equivalent of committing a crime? I'd be afraid of even working as an air traffic controller in japan if this was the case!

      I don't get, this kind of error doesn't happen often, but sometimes you make a mistake. That's how you learn just about any job. The trainer is supposed to pick up on it immediately, but even if they both fail, as long as it's not negligence there's no reason to send anyone to jail. In France for instance you really have to fuck up big time to just get fired.

    • @Szydencer
      @Szydencer 5 років тому +55

      At Überlingen, the captain of the Boeing initiated descent according to TCAS recommendation, while at the same time the captain of the Tupolev ignored the TCAS advisory to climb in favour of an incorrect instruction from the ATC. Had both captains followed the TCAS instructions, the collision would have been avoided.
      EDITED as I must've misunderstood the op's original message - indeed the 2002 collision happened because TCAS was NOT treated with priority at the time

      it happened above the Bodensee as we call it wich is part of the Swiss Border if i am correct, one of the captains follows tcas while the other does listen to his flight guide(idk the shortcut) this guy then doesnt know what went wrong and that tcas is a tive and telling the pilot the right direction both are facing the same location at the same time and arrive there just like told,the top aircraft rushes through the entire passenger cabin and cuts the lower airplane into too much parts, only the cockpit remains and slowly faces the earths falling down with little movement remaining, pilots screaming like hell and not anymore being able to breath suffer their death coming slowly towards them, the others in the heavily damaged aircraft lost the rear wing entirely to turn left and right same as up and down, slowly moving towads the ground trying to rescue as much as possible without any hope and the aircraft just turning sideways very slowly, feeling this is unimaginable terrible and hurts your heart till you finally explode on the ground just to end your hell like terrible suffering as well, and after both planes explode the guide is trying to contact both aircrafts without 1 single response knowing that a hellfire tragedy has occured on his duty, he crashes mentally and leaves the controller room while someone replaces his working position for the rest of the duty, later the reporters arrive and the guide disappears not telling anything, months later a old man appears near his home with a murder knife slowly approaching the guides house and murdering him once the door is open, he got no answer to why he lost the person near him who died on the big crash, later this entire part of human history ends up in heaven and for the dead guide a red flower is added to the controllers room to thank for his services and remember the big accident

    I'm currently one of only a few people in Bristol Airport trying to get home.
    It's surreal. I'm sitting here alone in an eerily silent departure hall. All shops and restaurants are shut. No food or drink on board. Staff are telling us to make sure we use a vending machine for water.
    I've been trying to get home to Belfast for 3 days straight. Had 3 flights in a row cancelled last minute by easyJet but it seems I've been blessed with a miracle. One flight is running today with Ryanair to Dublin. Yes it's a bit annoying because Dublin is an international flight 3 hours away from where I live in Northern Ireland. So I'm now going from UK to Ireland and back to the UK again. As long as I'm on the island though I'm not stuck in Britain.
    Ryanair announced all flights are cancelled until June but this is the only flight running because they need to get the plane back to Dublin.
    There are only a couple other passengers. There's one shop half open, Superdrug, and the one guy working there just gave me a red bull, fanta, oasis and 3 grab bags of crisps for free. It's eerily quiet here, I may have bought 5 plane tickets total and am £350 in the hole but...

    • @Father_Qese
      @Father_Qese 5 років тому +47

      This is probably before most aviation authorities specified that you follow TCAS over the ATC due to there being a missunderstanding in it's earlier days when TCAS was first implemented, most older pilots didn't trust the new system and chose to follow the ATC because in most situations you HAVE TO follow what the ATC says and can be reprimanded for not doing so. After the DHL crash over Europe EASA made it clear that all pilots just follow TCAS if there is conflicting information from the ATC.

    • @ying20000818
      @ying20000818 5 років тому +18

      Actually when the incident happend, most countries didn't specify that TCAS outruled ATC so it was a bit of a pilot's own judgement thing. I mean it took the 2002 Uberlingen mid-air collision (the DHL and Bashkirian mid-air collision, as misto has mentioned) for the rule that TCAS outruled ATC to really come into place and enforced everywhere.

    • @reconx86
      @reconx86 4 роки тому +83

      I also disagree with the jail sentence, what is a jail-sentence supposed to add? Are they supposed to learn from their mistake? They already lost their job. They didn't act with malice, they weren't intoxicated, especially the new controller on the job couldn't have known better than his supervisor. I think the only person that might be to blame could be the supervisor for not noticing she put to much pressure on the new controller... (and finally we don't know if she was in a situation she couldn't have performed better).
      Regardless I find a jail sentence to harsh, especially because jail sentences are there to make people reflect on their mistakes and to keep dangerous people away from society. I know in the US people see punishment more as a tool for revenge, but in the civilized world we still care about a sensible justice system. Jail sentences are meant to serve a purpose, not to just inflict pain on someone for your own entertainment. There is more than one way to hold someone accountable.

    "It felt like 10 meters."
    It was actually like 110 meters.
    WHEN YOU'RE GOING 500+ MPH, THAT CHANGE IN 110 METERS IS DONE IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. THE MINDSET IS IN RELATION TO COMPARING THE MISS BEING NOT SO "NEAR" WITH REGARDS TO TWO CARS. THESE ARE TWO GIANT FREAKING PLANES TRAVELING HUNDREDS OF MILES PER HOUR!
    FOR COMPARISON, THE NEAR MISS FEELS THE SAME AS A 10 METER NEAR MISS IN TWO CARS TRAVELING TOWARDS EACHOTHER AT 60 MPH; HOWEVER, THE SCALES OF MEASUREMENTS BETWEEN THE TWO SCENARIOS CREATES THAT CHANGE IN 110 METERS IN THE SAME SPLIT SECOND OF DECISION- IE THE SAME FEELING OF NEARNESS!

      I get what you're trying to portray but cars going 60mph can be roughly 3 meters seperated if you're traveling down a road that is not a dual carriageway.

    This exact thing did happen over Germany, the planes received their TCAS alerts that would have worked, but Air Traffic Control gave one plane a conflicting order and the pilots listened to that order instead of the TCAS. The planes crashed and a guy even killed the Air Traffic Controller later on because his wife and two children were on the plane. It's known as the 2002 Überlingen mid-air collision and is a very interesting thing to read about.

    It’s crazy how the actual Worst “accident” in Aviation history was due to the incompetence and hubris of one man who’s ego let him kill almost 600 people. But seriously who takes off on a runway they can’t see without clearance with the knowledge that runway is the only taxiway for the airport because they just taxied down it themselves?
