Dardano landing the taca flight with almost no damage is truly miraculous airmanship. The best ever. No damage to the plane, no injuries, no deaths.
And was only 29….👍
Yeah, this is pretty incredible......otherwise, he would have been the first Jake Sully before Jake Sully landed in the Hudson, but of course, lost the plane.....
@Trevor Regay US Airways 1549, no fatalities but scary af. Water coming in.....anyway I would honestly like to hear the 80"s story. I owe Sully my life but I know there are other stories.
He's a living legend, this is only part of his story...
@@BlackWidow00741 you owe sully your life?
Can we just say that the landing performed by the TACA captain was amazing?! I mean, really Sully-level flying!
And the TACA captain only had one eye.
@@vociferon-heraldofthewinte7763 ...Because (IRC) he got shot in the eye right before a takeoff in Colombia, I believe the plane was attacked by guerrillas on the ground. He took off anyway.
Correct me if I'm wrong about that stuff.
Sully can get in line. This captain landed a 737 on a grass levee that just so happened to be next to a NASA facility built on a WW2 airfield. The main street through the facility, Saturn Blvd, used to be the runway. After the appropriate engineers had looked at the plane they decided that it was in good shape except for the engines, which were replaced. Then they cleared the ex-runway, towed the plane off the levee, and *flew it out*. Did I mention that the captain had lost an eye some years before when he had an inadvertent encounter with rebels? Losing an eye means no depth perception and usually ends a pilot's career. This one requalified.
That’s correct. He was still certified to fly despite losing an eye. He also performed a clever side slip in that 737 as he was too high to reach the levee on a normal approach path
That TACA pilot is amazing. Also, kudos to the First Officer for suggesting that strip of land instead of a water landing!
that ground must have been boggy or mushy to slow the plane in such a short
distance. looking at the post-landing photo, it wasnt no mile long landing. they
had no engines for reverse thrust and only had braking. miracle
The water landing may have been better and saved a lot more lives
@@thygreatmark literally everyone survived. What are you talking about lol?
@@evolix-edits4015 I think he thought you talk about the first flight
That was an amazing landing for certain.
That second one is a masterpiece! The first one is so sad though, I really thought they were gonna make it.
I remember the story of Taca 110 on the news the day after it happened. The entire flight crew was heralded as heroes - and rightly so - including the flight attendants who calmly and professionally prepared the passengers for a rough landing. They all deserved medals and a BIG bonus!
That TACA 110 flight, Damn, they brought that plane down on that levee smooth as silk! What a pilot, what a crew! Nerves of steel, and cajones to match!
He only had one eye.
No depth perception.
"Cojones" 😊
I came out of my shoes over this show!!! The thunder, rain, sounds of a fierce wind, heavy hail pounding the aircraft plus the sound of the windshield breaking from the force of the hail! No one...and I mean NO ONE does it better than The Flight Channel. Thanks Flight Channel because I felt as I was one of the passengers on the ✈ plane! 👏👏👏👏
completely agree with you as to TFC!
Any airline pilot who can successfully land a powerless, gliding behemoth on anything other than a regular runway deserves undyimg admiration and gratitude!
Great job TFC, thank you sincerely!
So sad about the first plane. Those pilots tried hard but just didn't have enough space to land safely. The flying with the second plane was just inspiring. It was a smaller plane, so it would need less room, but still fantastic landing. Thank you for another great presentation.
He was only 29 years old with over 13.000 flight hours.
That day he was given a chance to prove why such a young fella has so much hours in command and he proved it brilliantly.
How could he have such extensive experience at such a young age? He must have started flying as a baby!
@@shojinryori back in the days they used to recruit qualified army pilots disregarding their age due to the lack of qualified pilots. So he started probably at 20-21
Captain Dardano started flying at 16 while still at school😮
29 is not young lol
@@GoldenMushroom64 29 with 13000 hours of xp is unheard of. Most pilots become 40 and stull not reach 10,000 hrs
The backstory of the TACA 110 pilot is quite amazing and can be found in other YT portrayals of that incident. That aircraft was subsequently repaired there on the levee, lightened and flew out to be fully repaired.
Well done and thanks again.
It's the oldest story in aviation. Weather 1, Aircraft 0.
Very true the battle between air and weather
@kev069 That’s a little harsh as weather radar was somewhat in its infancy back then. But you do have a point. If you take the bucks, you have to take the buck.
Well the Taca flight the aircraft went back into service after the incident
With the second one.
Weather 1 Aircraft 1
While Taca 110 plane did return to service it went through a lot to get back into service, i believe it took off from the same levy it landed on
Dardano is a LEGEND.
First off, he only had ONE eye, hence, no depth perception.
He performed a sideslip manoeuver to lose speed and altitude, unheard of in anything larger than a single engine GA aircraft.
Had to overfly a fence to access the short grass levee.
NO landing related damage. Engines were replaced on site, aircraft was gassed up w/limited fuel, and flown to New Orleans.
WOW - great job! I live north of Huntsville and was thinking - 1977 - that would be the old airport. Looking at photos of the old airport, it appears your video was completely accurate in showing the old, crossing runways unlike the two parallel 36/18 runways today at KHSV. GREAT JOB IN BEING TOTALLY ACCURATE!
Can we agree, even though these crashes are terrible and really sad, this guy makes crash videos the best.
This wasn’t a crash… just an off-field emergency landing.
@@macmedic892 The first was. The plane veered left into the trees.
@@macmedic892
Stop
P
😅
Your production is unmatched, brilliant work.
I loved that landing on the levee.
Actually it is exceeded by many others as this video has been done by hundreds of others.
@@K1OIK Good thing we have you here to set us straight. "Hundreds". Okay...
@@qmnnvrdyz8965 He is running low and needs the income.
@@ejagger Too bad the channel is abusing the subscribers.
It's nice to know the ENGINE DESIGN was MODIFIED so that unexpected storms would no longer be able to incapacitate the engines when they were needed most. The original DEFECTIVE ENGINE DESIGNS never should have been certified or approved for commercial aircraft that can be expected to run into unexpected severe storms from time to time/. Stop putting profit before people's lives!
I was one of two people who missed by minutes boarding this flight. Then I watched the news of the plane going down on a tv in the airport lobby.
Southern Airways flight 242 came to a sad conclusion. The pilot and crew did the best they could with what they had to work with. In aviation, sometimes you just have to play the cards you’re dealt. RIP.
Did the captain and fo of the 737 get any awards. They absolutely deserved it. They saved everyones lives. Period.
Yep
The worst flight of my life was out of Atlanta in the 80s. We were the first plane up in high winds. All the flights were lined up waiting to take off and we were first. We hit air pockets and keep dropping like a roller coaster and it was terrifying and after we landed I refused to take the connecting flight and I was eventually sedated in the hotel room. They drugged my chocolate milk so that my family could continue traveling. I hated flying after that.
The second landing was absolutely insane
Whilst I did NOT watch the full vid' (just the end) I'm told the pilot was BLIND in one eye !!!!!!
That makes his valiant AND successful effort in landing that crippled 737 as TRULY INSANE (& GREAT)
Both pilots did a magnificent job.
Scully level of airmanship!
Captain Carlos Dardano is an aviation legend and one of a kind. If not for him being the captain that day on that flight, those people on flight 110 would most likely have all died. Look him up on Google to see what I mean.
This is one of my absolute favorite UA-cam channels!
Those Taca Pilots should be given a Medal to honor their Flying Skills saving lifes and even the Plane. Especially the 29 year old Pilot impressed me, since he had only one Eye and over 10.000 flying hours. He was more experienced than many of his way older comrades.
Every Airline needs Pilots like those. Give them a goddamn medal !
They did get awards. Watch episode on Mayday.
No need to use the Lord's name in vain!😔
flew the boeing to the levee
but the levee was dry
I really thought that the first flight depicted was going to pull off a successful landing. So close yet so far. :(
My compliments to the Flight Channel, as usual, for this beautiful double performance, and kudos to captain Dardano, who is blind at one eye, and, indeed, was able to land a Boeing 737 in such a reduced stripe of land. His exploit is one of the best in history of airmanship. The stripe was located near to a NASA center, if I'm not wrong, in New Orleans.
Correct on the facility, but the jet was moved from the levee(was sinking) to a road which was an old runway(Saturn Blvd) exchanged an engine and flown to Kenner for further repairs.
I must have watched at least 10 major incidents involving total loss of thrust, so
it is not "unthinkable" that it could happen.
0:09 as soon as I saw “McDonnell Douglas DC-9-31”, I knew this would be bad.
The Definite Crash series strikes again…
I used to fly on the DC series once a year on Northwest Airlines to Detroit-and I was a nervous flier back then-if I knew then what I know now about those planes; I’d probably be white knuckling it all the way.
My first flight ever was on a DC-9.
Nothing wrong with the DC-9's. The Northwest flight that crashed in Detroit was pilot error. This flight here was weather related. My first flights were on Delta in the early 70's.
I later went on and became a flight attendant for American, and the MD 80's were my FAVORITE airplane to fly out of all their fleet! I have a picture of an MD-80 hanging in my living room now, and a plastic replica on my bookshelf as well. Never was I ever afraid of flying on either!
I never heard the 737-300 engines were designed incorrectly. Great landing, good catch co-pilot!
Another excellent video recreation. So sad about all the souls that perished on the DC-9.
What they didn't mention is that Carlos Dardano is blind in one eye, the result of some sort of accident. That makes him all the more awesome.
As I recall from an interview, he lost it to sniper fire at an airfield in El Salvador during the military coup. He still managed to take off and fly his customer to their destination. Quite a remarkable person.
Can't imagine that feeling, knowing you're gonna crash and can't do anything about it. Terrifying!
Both of these videos you have already uploaded, right? Big dejà vu here 😂😂
There is amazing footage of the taca taking off from a parking lot nearby where it landed, minimal fuel no luggage and passengers and full throttle I guess. Happened on NASA grounds with two test pilots no chance for error.
I've been looking for the video you're talking about with no luck. Can you link it?
@@banjobriggs All I know is it was used in a NGC aircrash investigation episode
It’s incredible, took off in about 5 seconds. Literally like a rocket.
@@bigbaddms And with one damaged engine mind you, there is also footage from when it just landed and the stewardes told the newscrew there were no injuries. Dardano is a boss (with just one eye!)
@@banjobriggs Both are featured in separate episodes of the TV show Mayday. Really well re enacted, including the subsequent investigations.
It must be an alien behind this channel! You give the best information and details that really capture the full situation with emotions attached as well it’s crazy😭
New Hope was a bad one, family on the ground wiped out and not a lot the pilots could do. RIP
Wow, the first miracle on the Hudson... Sans the Hudson! A great accomplishment that I never heard about
As I recall, once needed repairs were made to the TACA B737, it was actually flown off the same Levee !
Yep they replaced one engine and it was able to take off from the levee
So Sully was not the first to do a nonpower landing in a tight place.
Carlos Dardano, legendary captain!
The TACA flight is the only known case of a 737 landing away from an airport and taking off again
Absolutely incredible
If they made a movie for Sully, they should make a three-season series for Salvadoran captain Carlos Dárdano 😁
Latin American pride 💪🇭🇳
FlightChannel is always the best 👍
omg rip to the first passengers and flight mentioned.. tough break..they tried! The second landing was incredible! so glad all survived!
The taca wasn't far from me. He landed at the NASA facility. Dardano has a fascinating life story
Thank you for the amazing birthday gift of this video today TFC. What a way to start my day!! And seeing the TACA land safely was incredible. Awesome video yet again. Much love!!
Happy birthday!🎂
Happy birthday, friendo!
Happy Birthday! I'm a German Shepherd mom also.
Happy birthday! 🎉🎉🎉
Hope you had a great birthday
You forgot to mention that Capt Carlos Dardano had lost his left eye and could only see with his right eye only. Yet this brilliant one-eyed captain pulled such a nice forced landing by precisely gliding the aircraft at Vmd or Vg. The passengers later said that had never experienced such a smooth landing earlier.
I was hoping for a happy ending on the first flight here, but, oh well, as how cool would it have been if they managed to land safely on a highway............RIP to the victims
Excellent video and content as always. However, this is a compilation of previous video from 7 months and 2 years ago. Can't wait for more brand new content. Keep up the excellent work!
A 737 I was riding in sometime in 1988 descended and landed through the middle of a VERY heavy rainstorm, during which I was seriously wondering about flameouts, the only time I was ever scared while flying. I left a pucker mark on my seat.
I had a similar experience once while flying from DTW to DC. We were the last plane to take off before they grounded planes and I saw lightening outside our window the entire flight. I heard the pilot talking as I was deplaning and he said he wouldn’t have taken off had he known it was such a fast moving storm. People in DC said it was the worst storm in 30 years to blow through. I always think of how lucky we were and I still don’t like flying in bad weather.
@@5thdimension625 In 2003 I was in a plane at O'Hare that was about to take off, but we stopped as a heavy storm arrived. Just being on the ground in that plane was scary enough. We were pounded by hail and rain and the wind shook the plane back and forth. I can only imagine if we had taken off into the storm.
@@scottlarson1548 it’s awful isn’t it? You remember these things, don’t you? Goa d you were safe too
@@5thdimension625 No one on the plane complained that we were being delayed!
@@scottlarson1548 this was the quietest flight I’d ever been on and I remember they didn’t serve drinks because I needed one. Lol
What makes it even more impressive is that Dardano only had 1 eye (left eye was shot out during the Civil War of El Salvador 1985)
Crazy.
DC-9 crew; "Hey Bill, that hail just broke the windshield, maybe we should get out of this storm cell?" "Nah Lyman, let's keep going, we'll be fine."
I've seen ground tests where modern turbofan engines are subjected to a firehouse shooting water directly into the mouth of it, and they will still run. These guys must have had extraordinarily bad luck. The modern turbofan spins and deflects the water around the engine. But nature is always stronger than we are.
Great training saves lives that can be saved.
The interesting fact is that adding water into a turbine actually improves performance.
Edit: A metered amount of water - not a deluge and certainly not ice.
Testing used to be done at high power settings these Pilots were descending at obviously low to moderate settings, Makes a huge difference to Engine Water Ingestion Performance.
@@mtkoslowski Right. The Corsair fighter of late WWII vintage had an alcohol and water injection system for short boosts. A drop of water will produce 62 times its volume in steam, which also helps cool the engine.
Watching this in the middle of the night here in Seattle. Just as the captain decided to penetrate the storm I heard a loud and linger clap of thunder. Eek!
Im sad the southern plane incident didnt ended happily as TACA 110.
Master Captain Carlos Dardano. He deserves all the recognition he can get.
Very exciting. Shows the progress that developed in the time between events. Good show.
Brilliant video! Thank you for your work.
God bless those pilots and passengers.🙌🏽
I saw a documentary about the second flight on NAT GEO some years ago, an incredible piece of flying. I believe the plane was dismantled and taken to an airport, rebuilt and repaired and remained in service.
Both engines were changed and it was flown from the NASA michoud facility to moisant and repaired
Just finished studying turbine engine theory. Interesting how some of the standard tech on modern engines came directly from this crash. Well done as always!
I'm surprised the grass supported Captain Dardano's 737. So very sad and tragic about the first plane--those pilots did everything they could do.
Damn 62 died! They made it onto the freeway, what a terrifying experience that must have been.
Intense! Excellent analysis!
You forgot to add in the slide slip he brilliantly performed
These videos are always brilliantly made.
So amazing thank you tfc
Another fine video.
We can all say Hooray! and Way To Go! to both the Capt. & 1st Ofcr. of the TACA flight.
The TACA Pilot was the SULLY before SULLY. Unsung heroes by comparison.
I sure hope they got the recognition they deserve.
crazy skill from the pilot ! big respect !
What a total G Captain Carlos is, zero power and glides in for a perfect landing with zero fatalities and even the plane was undamaged. Also how the heck does that guy have over 13k hours of flight time and Captain status at age 29!? Dude must have been born in the sky. Also props to the FO who sighted that stretch of land instead of going for the water.
RIP to the losses on F242, the flight crew was dealt a really bad hand and had to make a risky play. The way I see it, they saved over 20 lives in a situation where nobody was likely to survive, respect.
Dardano and his F/O were a model of CRM in landing on the levee and its used to this day as a model. The F/O (don't have his name) spotted the levee and also provided the depth perception that Captain Dardano did not have due to the loss of one eye in a terrorist attack on his air taxi before joining TACA. True teamwork comparable to US Airways in the Hudson and UA 232 (Denny Fitch).
2 STORIES IN 1 VIDEO THATS AWESOME
I've seen them before. The TACA plane was repaired and took off, amazing!
Bruh this is a re-upload I saw this video already.
Wow... just wow
The Southern Airway incident not only illustrates the importance of up-to-date weather briefings, but also how critically important it is for pilots to understand their sensors and their limitations. Weather radar is a great tool, but it has limitations. The pilots should have been thoroughly trained in its use and interpretation. In this case, such understanding might have led to a different decision, avoiding the loss of engine power. The TACA incident reinforces the same lessons; the point about the need to harden engines against heavy rain and hail is well taken. Kudos to both flight crews for great airmanship under difficult circumstances. Even though the majority of passengers on the Southern Airways jet died, the crew's attempt to land on the highway was good and likely prevented the loss of all persons on the plane.
@ronaryel6445
I think if the Southern Air pilots would have had the same opportunity to land on that levee
the TACA pilots did the outcome would have been almost as good for that aircraft. Sometimes circumstances are beyond your control. However if I was the Southern Air captain I would have refused to try and fly that route due to the severe storms or diverted to another airport. Let the management write me up, or fire me, at least I'll be alive to fly another day.
I remember watching the 242 episode on air crash investigation thinkin', "Damn those pilots are good, they got this!" Then most of them crash and die. Its like, so close, yet so far.
Good Job Captain
I would fly with that TACA crew anyday. I remember this story from Mayday: Air Crash Investigation.
They didn't mention that Captain Dardano had only ONE eye! This incident happened at the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans East-the place where all the external tanks for the Space Shuttle were built and I worked for 22 years! The plane had the damaged engine replaced and it was towed to one of the roads on site. They stripped the plane of all unnecessary equipment and seats, and left only enough fuel to make it to MSY with one go-around. I understand Captain Dardano wanted to fly it out, but it was a leased plane and the owners hired a test pilot to fly it out to MSY. The video of him shows he was as calm and cool as if it had been just another day in the office! There was a small marker in Building 103 to commemorate this incident at "Michoud International Airport."
Can we take a minute to talk about that TACA captain? 13k flight hours and a captain at 29?
Looking at the way he flies, he was born to fly! We need more pilots like him!
I've heard about this one; it was in an episode of Mayday: Air Disasters on the Wonder network's UA-cam channel.
I love to see "everyone survived "
Felt exhilarated after the second story. Amazing!
one of my favorite youtuber
A captain with 13,410 hrs and only 29 years old? He must have flew out of the womb! lol
Total badass.
Even more so when you realize that he was flying with only one eye: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TACA_Flight_110
Yes, it's indeed a re-post. The DC 9 story was published on Sep 22nd 2002, the 737 story on Oct 1st 2020. Now they have been combined. First time a see re-upload on Flight Channel. More to come...??
One of the all time great landings.
Even more impressive is that the TACA pilot had lost an eye previously as a war veteran so he had limited vision and still managed to land this aircraft
I had the privilege of knowing both Capt Daradno and Capt Lopez! I am fro El Salvador and even floew on that same aircraft later that summer. It ended its flying days at SWA! :)
That's rough😢
Crazy....
Sandy Purl (stewardess on 242) wrote a book about the accident, titled "Fire and Rain".
When the TACA flight went off radar and landed, the tower had an approaching Delta flight try to eyeball them. The Delta captain reported, "You're not going to believe where he is." Amazing flying! RIP, souls on and around the Southern tragedy.
Where are (were) the power poles&lines along with telephone? How'd they get between those? Every rural highway in America has power lines and poles all down to sides
