UPS 6 has to be the most heart wrenching crash of all time. The poor blinded co-pilot had to know his captain was dead and maybe he saw the unreachable Dubai runway beneath him as he flew over right down the centerline. A single wrong digit on the heading selector kept him from having a second desperate chance to land his crippled 747. "I need a heading!" Just too terrible to imagine.
From what I gather He made the wrong turn then tried to correct but had no manual control but didn't I know this earlier when the Captain turned off the autopilot? He should have left it in autopilot and just turned the heading bug to the right directions
@@Shojohn2very tragic. I’m pretty sure some experts said even if he did realize that and went the correct way it still wouldn’t have meant he would have made it. This crash haunts me because they fought so hard and I can’t imagine his despair in those last moments.
This is why we MUST accept delays if there's a serious safety risk that needs to be addressed. This is a common theme in way too many incidents, and we all know the culprit. $$$ By the way, these incidents where the wheels catch on fire before being retracted into the interior of the plane are so scary. 😬
I watched the movie version of this and it broke my heart so much to see that valiant co-pilot guide that plane to a safe spot where he could crash without killing people. 😥
The crash was featured on season 15 of the Canadian documentary series Mayday in an episode titled "Fatal Delivery". Google Mayday fatal delivery full version.
🤔There are a few out there, here's what I've found so far: ON UA-cam: "Inferno in the Sky: The Tragic Tale of Flight 2120" "Nigerian Flight 2120" ON MAYDAY--AIR CRASH INVESTIGATION: EPISODES TITLED: "Under Pressure" &/or "Desert Inferno" Ur welcome!!!😁👍🏻😊
As mentioned above, not certain why TFC wants to do reuploads of the same accidents. Atleast leave a note or two about the change in upload style (or I should say the lack thereof). Brit Air 5672 got TFC not only more views, but also more money as well as a better reputation.
I was 11 years old when the crash of UPS 006 happened in Dubai. I was on the way to a family friend’s house when we crossed the Al Minhad Air Base where the crash happened. Still haunts me seeing that plane go up in flames while I assumed it would only be a standard landing since there wasn’t any visible sign of damage from the outside but I could be wrong cause it was dark and with that livery, it was hard to tell if I was reading into the details correctly but all I remember was freezing after watching a huge ball of fire erupt in the sky moments later.
In flight fires hit close to home. All of them. Swissair 111, South African 295, ValuJet 592 and many MANY more. You could always hear and feel the desperation and urgency in the voices and when reading the CVR transcripts. As someone who also recreates air disasters for channel content, I definitely can feel the pain these people felt when they were in their final moments. Speaking of, I'm working on Swissair 111 right now, and I'll give you some insight that this guy didn't.
@@ptdJ3KyKzLPr Sorry, but I need to promote it somehow. I'm not just going off the information other people read and give out, I'm giving bits of information other people probably won't stop to explain to you.
Would there be a slight increase in chance of survival if the fire in the first plane was noticed sooner and that the landing gear would remain down? (to keep the burning wheels away from the cabin)
Is Septemberly two months before Novemberly and one month before Octoberly? Someone didn’t quality review the video before they posted! Awesome video anyway!
@@Randomly_Browsing I recall reading an evaluation of repair and maintenance by their airlines, and thee performance was substandard. That was true for many of the smaller airlines , along with staff training and credentialing. Not an expert by any means, but that raised a red flag for me.
There are some, like Brit Air last month, but they're few and far between. I used to love this channel and was excited about its Thursday updates. It makes me sad to see either the owner got busy and/or moved on, or someone else is in charge of the channel. Granted, 1 new video a week is a ridiculously fast pace for an air crash channel, and it's admirable Flight Channel even kept up the pace for months and years. Still, if it's burnout, I'd prefer if they took the same route Green Dot did, and just extended the intervals between videos. I know I wouldn't mind waiting for a video a month or two if it meant it's a new accident.
By now there should be cameras recording all areas of flight. Nose to tail, inside and out. Well, except the bathrooms.😮 A monitor screen in the cockpit can help pilots see areas they can't.
My biggest fears are fire and plane crashes. I haven't flown since the late 1980's because I'm too afraid of flying now and my Doctors refused to give me valium to calm my nerves. I cannot imagine the horror of being in an aircraft that is on fire. 😢
How could the pilots not see the flames coming from the plane during the takeoff roll? It's also concerning that areas in the plane have no fire detection systems.
@@purplechick1977 Seems being able to see around the outside and underneath has been a factor in many mishaps. They are huge and pilots don't see much. Maybe it'll get solved.
@@purplechick1977 because pilots can NOT see the bottom of the plane from the cockpit. They can't even see the wings !! how on earth would they see the landing wheels ?!
A small problem of under inflated tyres caused a catastrophe. A slight delay involving the inflating of the tyres could have saved hundreds of lives Number of casualties have not been mentioned in the video
Why in the world aren’t there fire suppression equipment in the hold? Fire in a cargo hold has taken down a handful of airplanes. How many is too many?
Once again, please take the comments seriously, as it seems like despite our complaints, you still aren’t doing anything about it. Ah yes, Septemberly. My favorite month.
To say auto-ignition is misleading; those lithium batteries either suffered damage while being loaded or the packaging was insufficient to prevent them touching or shorting out.
Last Night I Watched Only A Few Minutes Of This Very Cool Video, The 2nd Segment Is Of A Boeing 747, Years Ago I Used To Go Flying With My Dad In His Private Airplane , And He Would Let Me Take The Controls , As He Was Looking At Navigational Maps .

Good Video I Especially Like When You Show Instrument Setting And Such. I Look Forward To Watching More Of Your Incredible Videos .

@@3BK235Y Yes, that’s true, but they would have the original videos to choose from without these uploads that waste time for people that have seen them.

What is the purser doing during the most critical phase of flight? They're strapped in until they reach two thousand feet? Make them the designated observer. After all they're responsible for everything aft of the cockpit.
I'd rather sit on a runway all day than risk preflight shortcuts being taken, protocol ignored. As David Bowie said "Here in my tin can, far above the world"...
Not landing at Bahrain, Doha or even Damman was their biggest mistake. Worst case, ditch. Trying to fly back to Dubai was an utterly stupid decision, proving fatal.
The captain was lucky he took off his oxygen. That poor poor first officer. This is one of the worst scenarios ive ever seen. Why was there only two pilots on a 747?
Feckin hell. What the actual F*ck? The landing gear is ON FIRE, and you take off anyway, and then retract the fire INTO THE FUSELAGE where it can then spread to the rest of the aircraft? Why didn't ATC tower personnel instruct them to abort the takeoff? I am a former Air Traffic Controller (Enroute, not Tower, intimately familiar with FAA regulations) and current airline employee (flight software planning software engineer, for reference, also intimately familiar with FAA regulations.)

The first crash appeared so long ago that I wonder why the name of the maintenance Director or project manager could not be revealed now.
