This was a very interesting accident. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I read the report on your website! How so many things could have been overlooked or ignored is just mind-boggling.
Good video, and important topic. You guys might want to consider a better microphone - sometimes the sound cuts out, which distracts from your important message. Thanks for doing these videos!
I was reading about this accident a few days ago, thank you for teaching me so many new things May I suggest an accident for comments? Here in Brazil the GOL 1907/ Legacy N600XL crash is still very controversial in so many aspects, and I know the CENIPA and NTSB didn’t agree on the final report. To be fair, they did agree that the pilots from GOL didn’t do anything wrong and the CVR (available to the public from a public inquiry) is so sad, you can hear them working on the engines and gear while the fuselage breaks during the free fall of the aircraft in the middle of the amazon. An american plane with brazilian pilots and a brazilian plane with american pilots. Changed and thankfully improved our industry big time.
the winglet on the corporate jet sliced off the wing of the GOL airliner..two inches one way and it would have missed, two inches the other way and both planes would have crashed.
The Jenni Rivera accident is another tragic ,avoidable event. There were so many things that the charter company did illegally that cost several people their lives. It’s too bad her “ team” put her on this plane without doing their due diligence in regards to the charter company.
Greg Feith is my cousin and he told me that 747 was brought down by a missile over Long Island, NY. We were at a family reunion a few days after and he was a lead investigator for NTSB at that time and he told me his colleagues told him it was a missile.
While I don't have a direct first person perspective from a celebrity manager's point of view, it seems like they casually book an air charter like booking a ground transportation charter (car & driver). Very concerning since we've seen the consequences of an 'eh, that'll do' attitude.
I've given you guys a thumbs-up for your effort. But, realistically speaking, what effect do you think you are having on the GAl accident rate and the number of innocent fatalities involved? Who's really absorbing your preaching and complaining about the FAA Part 135 industry? Likely no one, frankly. The real question is what are the aviation insurance companies doing to put the hammer down HARD to keep questionable/unsafe operations on the ground? The answer is - surely not enough. And offering discounts on GA aviation insurance to someone who might have listened to some old guys telling sea-stories about days gone by is counterproductive to keeping fly-by-night operations out of the sky. Aviation insurance companies - wake up!!!
Valid points, but at the end of the day these guys have more impact saying this than not saying it...for example, if my daughter was a celebrity, I would watch over her transport operators. I might not have otherwise.
@@aerotube7291 Totally agree - we need to keep pushing to make things better. The average person has no idea about the difference between part 91, part 135 or part 121, and nor should they. They are making the (wrong) assumption that people are honest and following the rules, and that if these operations were not legal they would be shut down by the authorities. I'd love to see the FAA hire a bunch of retired pilots to hang out at airports and audit these kinds of flights. It could be easily funded by the fines imposed and the regular FAA budget.
Former Piedmont/USAir line maint in LGA, I've been out of the business since 2002 but still enjoy these types of videos

Great information! Keep up the good work!
You have an overloaded plane on a hurried flight, piloted by two tired and possibly stoned pilots..what could possibly go wrong?

Great commentary

what's this have to do with the price of beans in China?

Lynyrd Skynyrd comes to mind.
You can use Wyvern / Argus to check safety ratings.
Sounds very sketchy!!!!!!!
