Pilots of the DC 10 need some real respect for getting almost everyone safe even after a crash.
Indeed
so trur
The pilots if united Airlines flight 232 were heroes
and all the pilots surviving
and Alfred was 57 at that time
You mean United-232
Can’t imagine how much trauma these people have gone through. So glad they seem to be doing very well.

DON’T MENTION IT!!!
I was angered at those first 2, i mean how could they have missed critical steps in configuring their plane for takeoff! Similar to Lapa 3142 and Delta 1141
@@louieosumo On Spanair flight 5022, when the plane was taking off, the camera clearly showed that the flaps were not extended at 1:48.
@@maxgodtankspubg3089 indeed, but the FO says: Engine failure? Wrong answer, it was 0 flaps configuration. Because of a broken relay earlier, the pilots still think it was engine failure regardless.
Well thanks, I mentioned it anyway !
@@ThePierre58 lmao no you didn’t
One of my neighbors actually thought I was on Northwest 255. Thing is, the flight I was on went from Buffalo to Detroit. I got chills when she told me.
😮
That tour guide have a freaking divine intervention. He was about to get fire. But he almost died and survived being a "hero"
"Fire"? You are meaning "fired"?
@@wesleydeandradegalvao6247he meant "on fire"
he had the luckiest unluck of all time
@@termsups.3476 disco inferno 🔥
How some passengers literally walk out of a complete wreckage...is beyond belief
For real
God
The fact that a celebrity missed his flight at the right time as he watches his flight crashed, spainair
It was deadmau5
8:51
You could see the pilots pain/guilt and how he still suffers today.
Why’d it cut off like that? How many people survived?
185 out of 296 people on board survived the crash of United 232. It's a bit of a miracle, considering the state the plane was in. You can look it up (full story) on major aviation channels on YT as the 'Impossible Landing'. Personally, I find even more captivating the pesonal accounts of two of the pilots, captain Haynes and off-duty captain Fitch. Two of captain Haynes' long string of safety lectures are on YT, as are several recordings on Errol Flynn's 'Leaving the Earth' document about captain Fitch.
Sadly, Denny Fitch, who you mention, does not suffer anymore today, as he died about 10 years ago, and Flight 232's captain died several years ago. They're both heroes to me.
@@surimi7283it’s on seconds from disaster as well
@@surimi7283 Indeed. And the JAL 123 accident just 4 years ago also helped them to understand the failure of hydrualices.
Not so fun fact: Deadmau5 was supposed to be on the spanair flight but just barely missed it because his previous flight came in late.
How do you turn off that warning? 2:21 😂😂😂 😂❤❤ *he was probably annoyed at it*
@SouthernAVgeekLikes747Yes. I agree. He wasnt annoyed. He wasntry save his passengers, himself, and his plane.
Awesome explanation even visually challenged people can understand the whole story. Thank you so much for the hard work you guys did for us.
As for the crew of United flight 232, I will always have respect for them, they showed creativity and all their skills to save the plane.
But it's terribly sad that it didn't work out.
They were flying steadily from 11.5 kilometers and at 30 meters the plane lost stability, literally at the finish line, it was as if a runner had lost a race because he would have hit a pole with flags.
Capitan Al Haynes, Bill Records, Flight Engineer Dvorak and Denny Fitch are true heroes and will always have my respect 👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊
Flight 232 is the best episode of air crash investigation special report
I cant imagine the guilt that pilot feels for surviving when most didn't.
there was more survivals than fatalities
Spanair flight 5022 stalled because if you look at the wings the flaps are retracted while taking off. , flaps increases lift so that's why how it stalled
Pro-tip: I've seen alot of these, if your pilots are sweaty before take-off things wont go well.
I’m addicted to these videos
Yeah me too ... I watch these even when I'm waiting at the airport or when in the plane 😂
@@MeowAdi1008I’m a former flight attendant. I watched these videos mid flight
Me too
Me too 😂
For reall
No matter what anyone say the united 232 pilots are a legend they many to save so many people even though they didnt save everyone most would be dead without them
May they all rest in peace
Air China 129
129 Deaths
32 Survivors
( From my fellow aviators)
8:25 First Officer Bill Records: LEFT GO TO THE LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, LEFT.
8:35 Captain Alfred C Haynes: we're turning, we're turning, we're turning
bro the second i saw someone talking after showcasiong the plane, a wind of relief hit me lol
2:03
"something's going wrong"
"nah i thought everything was ok"
I was just looking at the channel a few hours ago! As soon as I scrolled down the menu, I saw this as my notification cause I am subscribed! Thanks for uploading!
Let’s appreciate how hard the team worked to produce these awesome videos!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Yeah, i appreciate both nat geo and smithsonian
Seriously the amount of work for the 23+ seasons made by the Canadian Company Cineflix
Very 👍 ✔️
Mayday and Wonder are real good too
@@natebessette273 there plane videos are alsonstolen from nat geo
At minute 11:00, I felt really bad for the Korean toor guide
Airports have their own fire department, I think they should have their own medical as well
Ok. I know it's animated but I know a lot about the crash of UA232. The airport it crashed at was sioux city municipal Airport. Not large enough to handle a 747. But at 8:38 in the foreground you can clearly see a 747.
dude why does it matter
thats what I'm saying

He was born that way
Ben Levy is a true hero.
Keeping it cool after a plane crash, jees…
2:03 i didnt know what happened to flight 5022 but it might be the slats and maybe one of the slats on the right wing might have suddenly retracted resulting in a right bank and a deadly crash
I wish the endings explained a little more , ie why plane crashed how many deaths vs survivors.
Imagine having left your passport and bag in the hotel lobby and almost getting fired then made 20 of them seat at the very back only for YOU to save their lives. Bro really used all his remaining aura😅
The back of the plane saved their lives
1:47
Captain: Rotate
Flaps and Slats: you forgot me, look like we are going to hell
I’m from Sweden so i understand she
2:45 Pilot:Fly the plane fly it
Very Useful
Ive never been on an airplane. What is it like?
When on takeoff, it feels like theres a gentle force pushign you down
Most are safe, But others like Air France, with 12 crashes, are dangerous.
But you're fine inside, cuz 79% of the survivors are and were in the back, also choose big planos, they have good Weight distribution.
Thank you for your comments :)
@@msfox103able Yw :D
DeadMaus51 almost died on Spainair 5022 when he missed his flight last second but the flight was Spanair 5022
1: Who is he? Im from Brazil, so i don't know him.
2: He missed Spainair 5022, but he really missed the flight? And what is the aftermath he experienced?(Example: injuries at flights 255, from Northwest airlines with Cecilia Cichan and other 5 in the ground, and the 61 survivors at the Tenerife disaster, at Pan Am 1736, since no one survived at KML 4805)
3: What he saw after flight 5022, according to reports?
@@wesleydeandradegalvao6247 he is a famous electronic music producer
12:13 Bro thought the runway is the Mountain 💀☠️
they NEED to make a thing about alaska 1282.
I love these vids
12:11 is the sadest clash
OK THE GIRL WAS LUCKY THAT SHE SURVIVED THE CRASH OF NORTHWEST 255 IM VERY SHOCKED
There 2 more on another channel of delta 191
And the sole survivor of Vietnam 474 it’s called
“I spent a day with Plane crash survivors”
New to aviation but I know that UAL232's CVR, we all know the words ( Those facts are from my fellow aviators)
We need a new episode on Yeti Airlines Flight 691 summary after the investigation is solved
HOW DO YOU MAKE THERE VIDSSS BEHINDE THE SENENSE PLS
What? Bro learn how to spell.
@@Nishyfishy180 bro i was rushing cuz of my flight
Why did you forgot air Canada flight 143
Wish they said the # passengers and # of survivors.
3:35 this takes place in an alternate universe where Mexico lost “Baja California” after “The Mexican-American war”
🌚 okay but you didn’t really let them explain their stories
thats because they gotta squeeze in 5 stories in 16 minutes including the outro
Right could’ve made the video longer. Or made like part 2 or 3.
At 5:26, Cecilia survived the crash!? She got very lucky, but badly injured...
Did anyone else survive, it didn’t say.
y
es it did, it say "sole survior" sjhe was the only one@@pomegranteappleson1628
@@pomegranteappleson1628 When the clip starts at 3:29 it says up top that she was the only survivor...
@@pomegranteappleson1628No one else survived on the girl
I feel bad she lost her mother
4:14 that was dark
Lol
I guess that 'mistake' by the South Korean tour guide was overlooked since his group made it out alive.
In the end, the tour guide was a hero...
0:31 wait so there was a CHILD on flight 5022?
Yeah
Feel bad for him
I miss you.
Yes
Rip to all people
The smiley face made this comment eerily dark
What happens to the 2nd one?
On the morning of July 6, 2013, the Boeing 777-200ER operating the flight stalled and crashed on final approach into San Francisco International Airport in the United States. Of the 307 people on board, 3 died; another 187 were injured, 49 of them seriously.
The true aircraft is Boeing 777-200
Since the first lady is from sweden i understand what shes saying
What happened at the second ones
Pilots missed the taxi checklist and tripped the breaker that gave them configuration for takeoff warnings. They didn’t extend the flaps or slats
#2 they were lucky that the tour guide forgot his stuff
#4 I think how she survived is she was small and in the right place
Can U please do the Season 23 crashes
IM from NORWAY so i undestaded what the Sweden lady was saying
how did one person survive northwest 255?
Right place, right time, right size
Last seen for 2023 top 10 or top 5 disaster history.
Hello, thumbnail Dennis Fitch. Haha.
I hate riding on planes
Flight 571 of Year 1972 is grearest crash survival of all time
Where's Eastern 401?
Deadmau5 was on, but he missed his flight and I saw a gear clip when I went over a little like a little pond, but like why did the tail be like rubber when it fell
No explanations of the causes?
For this he have a seperate video which you can check out on his channel
On the animation Spanair flight 5022 didn't have flaps deployed.
I’m so confused. What happened to the second one
IT Took off And And didnt had slats
How did the 4 yesr old survive
No slide yikes
När man hör en finlandssvensk 😮
i thought 130 knots was the one
I didnt understand any world what just came out of your mouth
Those wondering on asiana flight 214 only 3 people died they were not wearing their seatbelts
Please show investigation
No way 3 people died on Asiana 214, there had to be nore. I mean the back of the plane ripped off the aircraft, and the A330 or 777 swayed like ul and down, the touchdown was hard ( From My Fellow Aviators and I am the real Bruno Mars)
Um...WHY is there a bank next to the runway????
NEXT STOP: GOL Flight 1907.
Do you watchers know how many crashes were caused by no flaps set? This is utterly ridiculous and should NEVER happen. Thus was Spanair 5022. (Two of these wrecks were caused by this)
3:26 flight 225 the sole survivor was a 6 year old girl
It was a four year old
1st of a) why didnt the pilot put down thrust to idle because they knew they were gonna land but its gonna be a emergency (spanair)🙄🙄🙄
Джейсон Стэтхэм?
give a video of Pakistani Airline crash
how to play
Jesus can change yr life ❤
When you see a passenger from the flight you know some survived😌
Wow that’s must’ve been a really hard conclusion for you to come to 😑
Spainar 5022 was because they didn't deploy flaps
It always takes the captain 5 seconds to pull up as if they don't trust the warning.... Every captain hesitates to pull up after the warning ask them to pull up.
😮😮😮😮😢
wow
never i take a md!!
Its good for the most people that there is a translator but for me thats Swedish i know what she saying and the translation very irritable
The sole survivor is a 4 year old girl but she is injured
Serves those pilots right for negligence because of missing 1 IMPORTANT STEP: extending the flaps.
