I really appreciate to the pilots and captains for most of the time end up saving the life of people. Is not easy to make right decisions in difficult situations
I want to Become e pilot...bt in my Country there are no good training school... Or aviation career in my country is bad...so what should I do? How can I become a pilot.?
Masterfully produced. All the special effects look genuine. Plane interiors and cabin space, stewardesses, pilots, atmosphere. A very exciting show to watch.
I am hooked on these shows because the re-enactments are truly done as accurately as possible, with full explanations as to what the pilots did and why, which is then followed by an incredible investigation in which the minutest details are deciphered to uncover the issues that lead to new regulations that overwhelmingly has made flying safer.
@@Aidy_tude7.16 sorry this is long. A tl;dr is while they do a great job, they were a TV show and they upped the drama to pull people in and do make mistakes. But many shows do. To be fair, this is a cable TV show (or at least these seasons were). So they made the episodes more dramatic, trying to draw people in who channel surf and randomly found it. Most details are right, but sometimes just parts of the reenactments are silly. They're normally amazing, don't get me wrong. No youtuber comes close, not even someone like Mentour Pilot. But every so often it's just... stupid. Like when an FAA guy writes possible causes on a white board, and it's literally just 6 bullet points they cross off one by one. Or when 5 people are hovering around a scientist who should be in a lab. Or the pilots reacting far stronger than they actually did on the voice recorder- like more angry or more fearful. It's a great show visually. But when I love watching channels that show the crash and have all the facts right without tons of drams, like Disaster Breakdown, this show hits different. And yeah, they do tend to make mistakes - but any show, or channel on UA-cam, likely has a mistake or two.
Oh gosh, this is so sad to watch. Such airline disasters, wherever they occur, are always heart wrenching & heart breaking to hear about & to see via tv. All human lives are worthy and precious, no matter where one hails from. I sometimes wonder, what countless souls have thought about, during such fearful moments & prior to such catastrophic events. For most on these flights, their last few minutes of their life. To all who have died, may you all rest in eternal peace & my condolences i send, to their nearest & dearest. They will never be forgotten, but always remembered & honoured.
Thank you…. I haven’t yet seen it as an episode in this series (I haven’t seen the whole video though)… but on 21 OCT 1989, SAHSA Flight 414, a Boeing 727-200, crashed on approach at Tocontín International Airport in Honduras. The crash was determined to be pilot error and possible criminal negligence. 131 people died, my father was one of them. 15 survived, including all the pilots. So, again, thank you so much for your words, they are beautiful and they mean a lot.
yeah it is bad. some people go abroad for work, to see their families and to relax and these accidents happen. all these people. their families and children. a minute of silence for these poeple.
I worked on the aftermath of the Lauda Air disaster, identifying some of the victims. It was horrific. This is the first time I have seen this crash reported (that said, I don't watch every air crash doco). Working on plane crashes put me off flying for ever. Lauda was the third of four plane crashes I worked on over four years. Nothing can prepare you for the experience.
thank you for the work that you do. and please please please make sure you talk to someone... even if you feel like you don't need to. you know, just because of the experience and what you had to see and deal with... because obviously it would impact anyone who had to help identify bodies from that type of plane crash. that had to be extremely difficult. again thank you
It gave me nightmares for decades. We did our best to debrief from the horror (especially an Air Vietnam crash that killed a colleague), but that was in the very early days when there wasn't an understanding that being at the aftermath of a disaster caused PTSD as well as being in the disaster. It was hard to go to a professional and say, "I was at the scene of these plane crashes and I can't get over it," because they would look at you as if you were making it up and looking for attention. I hope things have improved now. I got to the point where I just didn't want to keep thinking about it or talking about it. I have all the hypervigilance and I isolate myself, live like a hermit. All my friends know never to sneak up on me (more PTSD, this time from a terrorist threat). They can identify when I am becoming overloaded and they know not to push me. Many of my colleagues spent their recreation hours in the local bars. Some of them got into drugs. That's what happens when you push it all down in order to function and do what needs to be done. @@godsdaughter9042

katy is so right. As a paramedic I have seen some gruesome accidents , but as a military member on search and recovery you find yourself stepping on body parts unattached to the torso unknowing whose is whose? Years later you still have issues , time does not clear your mind.

I was on a 737 CP Air Canadian pacific air that had rudder trouble in winter In 1982 we headed out to dump fuel and that gave them a chance to foam the runway and we were bucking pretty bad not sure if weather was the culprit or rudder but by the time we landed I could barley walk off the airplane my legs were shaking so much …which lead to a fear of flying I developed after that for almost 30 years I was worse over open water, I got hypnotized for it and tried everything but it didn’t work. Well Valium did help so I usually took that. So I had a little tiny taste of what these poor passengers felt and I can tell you it gave me a whole different outlook on flying, the other thing was in the 80’s there was a crash every other month or you’d be traveling somewhere and on the news was a crash … planes have never been safer and people should remember that the safety they enjoy now is born on the backs of the passengers who died and having learned from their misfortune. Thanks to them you fly safer now. God bless them.
thank you so much for sharing. someone questioned in the comments, "why didn't they interview survivors" - well your sharing made up for it. I remember Canadian Pacific. it brought back memories when you mentioned it (I'm Canadian). that was back in the heyday of flying. a different time that's for sure 😊
My remedy is I won't fly anymore and what a relief that is, honestly, for me with the nonsense of just the whole check-in and everything. If I can't drive take a train or a boat I don't go. I get not everyone is gonna even want to do this. That story of yours is just something I don't need. Glad your alright.
Don't let these type of videos scare u into not flying your chances of dying in a plane crash is 1 in 26 million.. there is 7 billion people on the planet 6 million people fly a day which is 1% of the world population fly every day .. a total of 100,000 flights take off and land every single day across the world how many flights to you hear about crashing? Maybe once every 3 years if that.. meanwhile you have a 1 out of 309 chance in dying in a car crash every time you get inside of a motor vehicle.. planes crashing are so rare its almost as rare as being killed by a lion yes it has happened to people but how many people do you personally know that have died in a plane crash better yet every person you know coworkers and family and friends have died in a plane crash meanwhile all of them have been on a plane? Lastly I'll just say we all have to die someday how we will end up dying you never know but if it's by a plane crash sounds alot cooler then a car crash or heart attack I'd say.
@@pumbabre8937 dude it should scare us to be honest, all the shiet the airline companies are doing to save money is disgusting, gambling with peoples lives to save cost lmfao
many people are surprised to learn he led a secretive gay lifestyle behind the scenes. Yes, this is true. I don't really mind tho cuz I'm open to all sorts of alternative styles of life. Hbu? Ever thought of leaving it all behind for the boys??
@SF kylex yea dog I'm doin better than ever G jw if anyone had ever thought about just dropping it all, headin out to Kansas or some ish, all for droppin even bigger loads (I'm talking mighty) on men
Me too. At first I was really trust flying more. Seeing how pilots could land with double engine failure but the more I continued watching lol I was like, yep I will never fly again.
@@sharoncassell9358 I like Mentour Pilot. I would want him to be my flight instructor (if I was smart enough to even consider being a pilot). I had no idea in the logistics & skills it takes to becoming one. He's not at all showy about what he knows either considering he has every right to be. They have to be very, very smart people to become pilots and he's very good at enlightening viewers as to what goes into flying an aircraft & what can happen when it doesn't go according to plan.✈💓
After watching these documentaries I've realized that there are a lot of unsung heroes we never heard about and I'm talking about pilots and passengers.
I 💕 it when the pilot is at the door to greet passengers! I ALWAYS STOP, shake hands, look in the eye, and sincerely thank him for taking care of 'us' - whether boarding or exiting the flight. I can always see the immediate reaction from them. AND, I thank the flight attendants as well. God bless them for the tough job they do. You're so right !!!!
I have to be thoroughly sedated with prescription meds to board a commercial plane due to many unpleasant experiences during childhood when we traveled extensively. You name it, it happened. Landed in a cornfield, skidded off the runway, engine blowout, lightning strike, freefalls in air pockets when we were the first off the runway during a tropical storm, landing gear wouldn't drop and circled the runway until we were out of gas, sandstorm, clipped some trees, and a parrot bit me on one flight. A Yorkie bit me on another. I remember one flight when the stewardesses looked terrified, and my mother screaming into a pillow and clutching my hand until she almost crushed it. The airlines sent a shrink to the hotel when I refused to go back to the airport the next day after that horrific flight. I literally hid under the bed. It took 3 days and they snuck some sleeping powder into my chocolate milk finally. Tried to conquer my aviophobia later in life with flight lessons. It went ok for the first few flights, until my instructor (who was an expert stunt pilot) crashed in Mexico doing an airshow performance. Mechanical error. Last year I flew to S. America after a loved one died because I didn't care about crashing, I was too preoccupied with my loss. But I'm stuck here now, lol. I won't fly again. And you couldn't pay me a 100 tons of Krugers to board a 737. They are cursed. They should all be grounded. I will only fly on an airbus A320. That's how I got to S. America. And only because there is no safe passage by ground across the Darian Gap. Unfortunately, covid halted the cruises or I would have taken a ship instead. I flew once on the Concorde and still have the bag of goodies they gave me. I didn't like it as much as I liked the 747s back then. Flew in a helicopter from Kennedy with our 2 dogs. Didn't like that, and neither did the dogs. The 70s into the early 80s was the best for flying. Big, roomy seats. Attentive crew. Going to meet the pilots in the cockpit. Warm blankets, pillows, candy, coloring books and little toys. Now you get crammed into a metal tube like cattle. Even in first class I feel squished and claustrophobic. I watch these vids to justify my fears... and it works, lol.
@@cantfindmykeys - I agree with you! You can live in fear, but it's so much better not to! I understand it though. It seems like you've been through A LOT! I do wish those things hadn't robbed you of the joy of flying!
I have watched other crash documentaries. I love that others show the Investigation Process. And conclude with Enhancements to Regulations, Flight Awareness and Training. Which makes flying Safer. Doesn't end with the Cause or Blame.
Flight 92 the first disaster where the engines failed had to be one of the most frightening moments ever... Can you imagine what those poor people must have felt at that very moment knowing you are about to die a horrible death... May God bless their prescious souls...
February 27th, Air Disasters will be starting on Season 22 (US Season 17) starting with FlyDubai and ending with the 2020 Helicopter crash that Killed Kobe Bryant, His daughter and several others. Set those DVRS on Smithsonian Channel
Damn, i remember this, happened quite close to where i am, not far away from the East Mids airport and i'm quite close to the M1! (The first accident in the video) Stephen McCoy took his first steps after 30 years, back in 2019 with the aid of an exoskeleton, he was 16 when in the crash, suffering brain damage and paralysis down one side.. He's now 49! 47 people lost their lives, 79 seriously injured. Looking at the pictures, I'm amazed they didn't all pass!
I have been in the remains of the cockpit of the east midlands plane,there is not a lot left of the r/h seat,co pilot i think,its amazing he lived,its at roger windleys scrapyard tattershall lincs,same as the panam lokerbie plane,been there years now.
As a child I lived hearing and seeing planes fly over my home. Sometimes the sounds would creep into my sleep and give me nightmares. I knew I'd never want to get on a plane. 9-11 clinched it for me. I'm in awe of how those monster sized planes can stay up in the air. I'm afraid of them and will never board one. I just never lost my fear of them. RIP to all people that have lost their lives this way.
Right? I had to go research each flight to see how many people survived some (like the one with the foreign woman) cuz I knew if she did, maybe more people did. Not many tho.
Yeah I agree but I mean it is Smithsonian, like, this aired on cable TV. So it's not your typical YT channel. They did do a great job in selecting this guy though his voice is engaging. But the acting at times can be quite the ball of corn
From my novice knowledge, having the instrument panel shudder to become illegible is something the design engineer should be looking at to resolve as a matter of urgency. A crude example is the way a car absorbs all external energy in the shocks. The control panel should have a shock absorption activate when the rest of the cockpit is vibrating! Not being able to read or able to see the instruments at that very point they are needed most demands this be resolved. Perhaps this has been resolved but is a huge miss in the original design.
Don't see how that would be possible since some of the instruments are responding to sensitive movements of the airplane. I'm taking flying lessons now and watch those instruments like a hawk! Can't imagine how scary, acutally scarier, it would be without them.
this was a 737-400, the needles on the vibration gauges run around the outside as they are LED, which actually makes the gauges easier to read under high vibration. Both pilots had less than 1hr training on the 400 and no simulator experience, they were used to the 300 with gauge needles on the inside. Basically it was a new plane they weren't used to and thus easy to mis-read the gauges. The problem came down to training, the gauges were fine.
I see so many of these documentaries where the final analysis is that the pilots were supposed to know which instruments were really broken and which ones are displaying the correct information. I know they are trained for it, but think about this for a moment.
They were probably panicking because of the split second decisions they had to make. Most of these crashes occur because pilots act too quickly without reading instruments
Yeah, in most cases they have a "book" that can help guide them but when it's a split second decision it gets to be a lot. Regardless plane crashes are so tare I don't worry about it
Ive flown roughly 25 hours of instrument time in helicopters, and its really an eye opening experience when you actually get in the cockpit and are wearing a hood so all you can see is the instrument panel. It takes constant cross checking and mental notes to ensure every instrument lines up with the others and nothing is showing an odd reading. Took a few hours to learn to trust them, but, what i was flying was a whole lot smaller and not as advanced as a commercial airliner. I was always told, trust but verify. The instructor would cause a random instrument to "fail" (pull the breaker so it would lose power) and time how long it took me to pick up on it. Its certainly intense.
I remember what lauda said when racing formula,1. He said of his rival, James hunt, that he( himself) didnt have to worry about hunt when they both engaged a turn at 150 miles per hour ! That's SERIOUS CONCENTRATION and BALLS. Im bringing this up because a professional like lauda WONT QUIT ANTHING until he gets the RIGHT ANSWER. 1 hell of a man. Rest his soul...
@@noobpyxl when they interviewed Lauda during his racing days, the topic became Hunt, his rival. Lauda said of Hunt: 1 thing about him is when I go into a corner AT 150 MILES PER HOUR, I don't have to worry about Hunt next to me..BRAVE? WOW VERY VERY COOL CAT
I think about the times that I've flown, which was maybe a little over a handful. Watching these episodes puts me right inside the doomed flights. I can't think of anything much more terrifying than knowing that you are going to die in a plane crash. My heart goes out to all of the victims and families who suffered so much pain and heartache. I remember what an accident investigator Greg Feith said. You have to detach yourself from the human standpoint in order to complete the investigation, otherwise you're no good to the team. I guess some people have that ability. I don't think that i could be one of them. It's a little bit comforting to know that the victims'deaths were not in vain. Their loss ultimately saved countless people from suffering the same fate in future flights. The 80's seemed to be the worst decade for plane crashes. Seemed like every time you turned around, there was another accident. You hardly hear about them now, thanks to the dedicated, tireless efforts of the NTSB..
@alb.dersame, yes, I agree. The 1980's, seem like the deadliest decade, for airplane crashes. The year, 1985, especially with the Japan Airlines crash, whereby over 500 people died; the bomb, that exploded on Air India, that killed over 300 people; and, there were several more crashes, in 1985, which probably, made it the deadliest year, in Aviation.🙏 Then, there was the 1987 crash, in Detroit, Michigan, that killed over 200 people, but a 4-year-old girl, was the only survivor. Her parents, and brother died. Also, in 1987, in California, a passenger, [allegedly], crashed an airplane, on [purpose]. The passenger, had been fired for, allegedly, stealing on the job. After, he was terminated, he sought revenge, on his Boss. He booked a flight, that his former Boss, was on. He had a firearm, because he still had his credentials, from his job, that allowed him to still fly, for the Airline Company. This former employee, allegedly, shot and killed his former Boss, on the plane, and then he allegedly, shot and killed the Pilots, and the flight Attendant. He then, allegedly, put the Plane in to a nose dive, and the Plane was speeding so fast, that it broke the sound barrier. The plane, totally, [disingrated] upon impact. There were about [50] passengers, on that plane, who were left [alive], including the [alleged killer], as that plane was crashing, and everyone died. The absolute, terror, that they had to face.😢 Then, there was the crash in 1989, in Sioux City, Iowa, whereby the plane had to land, with no [hydraulics]. The plane, had a rough landing, flipped over, and caught on fire. The pilots, all survived, as well as around 184 passengers, [survived], but around 118 passengers, did [perish]. The pilots, did an amazing job, as well as a passenger, who was a pilot, assisted the crew, with landing the crippled plane.😒 There, were many other crashes, in the 1980's, but these really standout, as examples. Yes, again, I agree, the 1980's, was the deadliest, in Aviation crashes, in my opinion. Also, yes, I really like Greg Feith, and the other NTSB investigators. They, really, explain everything so well, regarding the Airplane crashes, that they have investigated, over the years, [as well as their commentary, on other Airplane crashes].👍
@@tracydavis8982 yes they're commentary was brilliant. I remember most of the plane crashes that you mentioned. The one that really sticks out in my memory was the one in Detroit, Michigan. I live here, but northeast in Marine City. I lived about 45 miles east when the crash occurred. My brother-in-law and step sister were up visiting from Ohio. They had to drive right past the area where the plane crashed, they were on their way home. When it came on the news, I reasoned that they were already past it by an hour or two. I remember the headlines on the front cover of the Detroit News the next morning. It read "And a time to every purpose under Heaven." I was touched by it. A time to laugh, a time to cry, a time to be born, a time to die. Obviously the song was Turn, Turn, Turn by The Byrds. It was a touching kind of consolence. I thought "what a great idea that the author of that story had." It was truly a Miracle that the little girl survived. If I had a dime for every time I've driven past that spot, I'd be rich. There is still a sort of memorial there. Ive been watching a lot of videos on UA-cam by Mentour Pilot, 74 Gear with Kelsey Hughes, and several of the other programs that do such amazing re-inactments. I've been watching them every day lately. I'm 64 years old and retired. The programs are so gripping, and so well made. Thanks for the reply and confirming that the 80's were the worst. I thought that they were, if I was remembering correctly. Have a great day. Oh and I can't begin to imagine those 50 people who were murdered along with the guy's boss, the pilots, and the stewardess? It's absolutely unimaginable. They say that God weeps too. 🙏
Back in the 70's a family friend who is in his 90's and still alive purchased a new plane and was ferry flying it from the manufacturer to his local airport and it suffered a massive fuel pump failure and both engines cut out and they radioed the tower told them they were going down and were going to land on a public road and a car showed up and they veered off the road and landed in a drainage ditch flipped the plane over 2 of the 4 on board were knocked out and had to be drug out of the plane as it caught fire. He got a new plane through insurance and etc but thats the craziest actual plane crash I know of with anyone I know. I can't remember what kind of plane other than if I recall it was a twin engine Piper
@@ADDrecords He wasnt 90 at the time, He owns a local lumber yard and he still drives big rig trucks for work in his 90's. Dudes been a family friend forever he went to his last high school reunion as he outlived his entire class and hes the last alive its nuts.
why is it better to take off, knowing the plane wont fly far, rather than trying to brake and possibly go off the end of the runway? seems like that would be the safer option for some circumstances
I think most (if not all) commercial airliners are able to safely achieve positive-rate (climb) if an engine fails after rotation speed. Its between V1 and the “rotate” callout that is a problem, because the plane does not have enough space to safely stop, and may not be able to safely climb away either. But after all, its easy for us to judge in hindsight, but under stress and fear and extreme time constraints, critical decision making can often be difficult.
IKR and why the hell don't runways have the end of the runway cleared, be that a empty field or what? I fully realize space is an issue and not always possible but I watch all these shows and the amount of times there's either a wharehouse or raised walkway or fuel tanks or a bloody ditch at the end of the runway...it's like NO, keep that clear, ya know. Just in case. Like you I'd rather skid into a set of trees rather then drop from 700 feet THEN skid into the trees.
I was on a flight from LA to San Diego when we hit pea soup fog. Pilot attempted multiple tries to land while he talked to us on the intercom. Omg what a bumpy ride. We eventually had to fly back to L A and be bused down. Fine with me 😅.
10:13 was the most shocking one. Lauda Air's accident sequence happened so suddenly and so quickly saving the plane was humanly impossible... I feel terrible for them; it's like the machine went rogue on them.
Ù can crash in the air or the ground ...what mustbe will be . I love the air not afraid ..i am afraid of drowning .i dont go swimming ..boat rides are spectacular i cant swim
The passengers on that Concorde sees their lives before them slowly and realized they will die...what a terrible feeling before they slammed into that building...
I flew from London to NY on that bird when I was little. With my parents, I don't remember much but I do still have the little trinkets they gave to kids who flew with them. It was a bag of goodies.
@@cantfindmykeys Yes, i too, remember the bits & bobs that they handed to their passengers. Those were the best days of flying, although these days, i love to fly the amazing A380 & the Airbus A320. I also take regular domestic flights, which are always safe where i live. With your flying experience, i was wondering.....Have you flown the Boeing 767 and 777? If so, what are your thoughts regarding these 2 airlines?
@@INTUITIVENORSK2303 @Kalashi Kashmiri Euro girl I can't remember all the metal tubes I was reluctantly persuaded (mostly by my parents) to travel in. The last flight I took was on an A320 w/Avianca and I paid 1200usd for a 2hr 40min flight first class and all they gave me was a pathetic little bag of catfood(?) and a tiny bottle of water. But I chose the flight because I like the A320. We flew in a lot of bloated 2-tiered jets on those long haul flights. I remember being stuck on planes for more that 15 hours and we got very restless and pestered the flight staff relentlessly. But back then they were very patient and accommodating. We flew Pan Am, TWA, British air, Braniff, Eastern, Alia (my sister was named after it because my mother almost gave birth to her on the plane), Kuwait air, Egypt air, Interflug, Cyprusair, Alpen (small jet), some small French airlines- I can't remember the name of it- Luftansa and Apolla (those were Airbus 300s), Alitalia, and others and a few helicopters which was horrible, especially with the dogs and they were having a fit. I loved the spiral staircase of the 747s. I liked those the best because we had so much room to run around. Most of the overnight intercontinental flights had many empty seats and we really stretched out on those. I remember having several rows of seats to myself and putting blankets over them and folding them down to make a little fort, lol. So I would have to say the 777, the 380 and the 320 are my favorites.
how many people died or were injured when the Concorde slammed into a hotel and burst into flames. the show never mentions anything about that. have to google i guess.
Well i was still 1 so i don't remember that much. I remember watching scenes on TV. But i can't tell If it was to the time it happened or somewhen later as documentary or something.
i remember it clear as day lmao, and i knew right away that the united trash of trash did this lmao haha blaming on goatfuQQers 3920483904823948390275 miles away living in caves is laughable haha
I was scheduled to fly out of Dallas Tx at 8:00 am on 9/11. The night before, I had a strange experience while sitting by my Mother's pool and was so convinced my infant son and I would die if we boarded the next morning that I called a friend at midnight asking to borrow money for a rental car. I argued with my mother all morning until reports came on the television regarding the first flight hitting the North Tower. To this day she still acts as if I was being ridiculous, and belittles the idea of premonitions even though I'm not prone to fantastical claims or imagination. I will say there was something about the area where she lived in Grapevine, I often saw things in the mist there late at night. It was unnerving, but not scary...they seemed like visions or imprints from the past. It was the strangest thing.
@@swampwitch9939 I'm glad you don't feel it's a bad thing when you feel something isn't right. We can't help our intuitions whether good or bad. I think we all have experienced them.

If you're a nervous flyer and watching this know we have never left one up there. Even if they disintegrate and explode into an ocean we still get them back down.
@@ADDrecords what I'm getting at is even if the engines fall off or the left wing takes out the right wing we get them back on the ground in a homage to IKEA flat pack furniture, some assembly required.
years ago when considering learning to fly, my "tentative" instructor was answering my wife's questions.. "But, what, what if he runs out of gas or something? What are the chances he'll make it down?" "100% Miss, 100%, he is going to make it down."
I believe the first one had a “pilot error” factor. If I remember right, the pilots had just changed onto that type from a previous 737 type (I think it was the -300 to the -400). And due to the prior generation air conditioning being fed from the right engine that led them to believe it was the right engine. But the system had been redesigned for the new type and pulled air from both engines.
This was because the cabin crew were not trained to say the correct side. They told them the wrong side from visual out of the window ....you always look at the cockpit for right and left they were facing the other way
That pilot was also on vacation when those systems were changed and he was never made privy to the changes before he came back. I don't see him at any fault whatsoever.
@estherlane7498 under duress, even if trained they can easily mix it up. I've mislabeled lungs as a nurse and the brain can flip things even with good intentions. With that said better protocols can help, but doesn't avoid the mistake entirely.
Don't let these type of videos scare u into not flying your chances of dying in a plane crash is 1 in 26 million.. there is 7 billion people on the planet 6 million people fly a day which is 1% of the world population fly every day .. a total of 100,000 flights take off and land every single day across the world how many flights to you hear about crashing? Maybe once every 3 years if that.. meanwhile you have a 1 out of 309 chance in dying in a car crash every time you get inside of a motor vehicle.. planes crashing are so rare its almost as rare as being killed by a lion yes it has happened to people but how many people do you personally know that have died in a plane crash better yet every person you know coworkers and family and friends have died in a plane crash meanwhile all of them have been on a plane? Lastly I'll just say we all have to die someday how we will end up dying you never know but if it's by a plane crash sounds alot cooler then a car crash or heart attack I'd say.. just remember you have a better chance of being shot and killed then you do of dying in a and crash
I love it when the ghost of xmas past materializes in the cockpit of John Kennedy Jr's airplane, the way he looks at him kinda funny. No disrespect RIP.
I don't know if it was already translated to English but Zille, one of the pilots of this case 18:54, wrote a book where he gives the details before, during and after the plane crash. He also gave one interview on the channel "Aviões e músicas", it's in Portuguese but you can turn the youtube automatic subtitles on and it will work 80% (Just some expressions the AI don't get it and translates it literally). After the crash they stayed 2-3 days lost in the middle of the Amazon, their luck was that one of the passengers knew the area and was able to walk a few kilometers into the jungle until finding a village and asking for help.
Read & watch Mentour pilot. He's thorough on commentary and accurate. He waits until the final report comes out. Also he is a line captain instructor. So there's no drama or frills just facts.
Is it just me or does Asiana 214 could've just been a bumpy landing if the nose was lowered a bit and the tail didn't impact the ridge connecting to the pier. In the animation I mean
That bit with Kennedy's family screaming as they go in is bogus... the thing about a spiral in IMC is that the pilot (and the passengers) don't feel it due to the spatial disorientation... So in the dark and fog they most likely would not have been aware of any kind of problem until the moment of impact...
For those airplanes that crash because of faulty gyroscopes, how about having a simple water bottle on board to always be sure where's up and where is down?
Bingo!!! You said before me!!! The best thing for 'spatial disorientation' is liquid in a transparent container. A good old compass and a water bottle would save a lot of lives. Cockpits should also have tiny apertures for pilots to push out emergency anemometers (such as pitot tubes) for air speed and barometers for elevation due to atmospheric pressure.
Won't work. Liquid levels are most vulnerable to the forces gyros are specifically designed to disregard. In the right loop a liquid level will show you the ground in any direction.
the actors that they have reacting all of these absolutely devastating plane crashes, are amazing! Hollywood amazing in factbetter than Hollywood amazing! also rest in peace to those who lost their lives.😢
This whole video autoplayed after another video I fell asleep to, heard it while asleep playing throughout my dreams, and now I have to board a plane in 3 hours.
I flew as a stew for UAL in the early 60s. One time in NY I asked the pilot how many seconds before takeoff was normal. He told me. I watched and counted, went over that and all of a sudden we made a quick turn off the runway as not to go into Jamaica Bay. We had a fire. I was shaken.
@@mrlacki5155 the way he worded it made it seem WTF but in reality, this show has many episodes that are pilot error which helps future pilots avoid such errors
Y’all are funny as hell about “improved security” including the cabin doors. That’s great if the damn door is installed properly…. But it’s hard to take that seriously when you’re on a Boeing jumbo jet on a flight leaving the US for international destinations and as you look up, you watch the whole damn cockpit door fall out! That sucker can be as bullet proof as possible, but if the gunman is standing on it, I don’t think the safety is quite the same! Call me crazy!
As a reminder for nervous flyers: Remember that aviation as a profession has gotten dramatically safer as a result of each and every one of the flights featured here. It is aviation safety experts' top priorities to learn from the mistakes these pilots and engineers made and prevent them from happening again.
5:16 Do any of u guys know how much you make for being an air craft investigator? Because I wanna be an air craft investigator now. Looks and sounds SOOOO cool!
I'm sure Google can shed light on the answer you're looking for. Make sure you specify NTSB investigators though. You'll probably also need a masters degree if you want a good position and your degree would have to be aviation related unless you worked as a chemist or metallurgist etc etc.
I really appreciate to the pilots and captains for most of the time end up saving the life of people. Is not easy to make right decisions in difficult situations
No matter how many times Ive watched plane crash documentaries it still doesn’t discourage me from flying, im starting training for pilot soon too
When is your time is your time , that’s the way I see it.
I want to Become e pilot...bt in my Country there are no good training school... Or aviation career in my country is bad...so what should I do? How can I become a pilot.?
You're braver than I am, for sure!
This will make you a better pilot for sure!
Saw only one of them…. Never flown in m life going 23 years now….ships, cars, trains etc are ok though 🫤
Masterfully produced. All the special effects look genuine. Plane interiors and cabin space, stewardesses, pilots, atmosphere. A very exciting show to watch.
the plane has lost control everyone going to die time to shit your pants boy🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
yes 👍
Flight Attendants, not "stewardesses". That changed back in the 70s.
watch 18:17 and tell me you think that’s how pilots act😭
The distraction of the glowing ghost in the co-pilot's seat at @41:41 and the acid kicking in at @43:34 must have contributed to this crash
😂🤣👌 you're right, don't trip and fly, always ends badly...
Why trip and fly when you can be an adult and drink and drive

So the glowing ghost appears before the acid kicked in? That's sounds like the perfect time to drop acid lol

I am hooked on these shows because the re-enactments are truly done as accurately as possible, with full explanations as to what the pilots did and why, which is then followed by an incredible investigation in which the minutest details are deciphered to uncover the issues that lead to new regulations that overwhelmingly has made flying safer.
The reenactments are silly and riddled with inaccuracies and errors large and small.
@@darkprose mexican planes are better
@@darkprose why don't you go ahead and try to make them better?
@@Aidy_tude7.16 sorry this is long. A tl;dr is while they do a great job, they were a TV show and they upped the drama to pull people in and do make mistakes. But many shows do.
To be fair, this is a cable TV show (or at least these seasons were). So they made the episodes more dramatic, trying to draw people in who channel surf and randomly found it.
Most details are right, but sometimes just parts of the reenactments are silly. They're normally amazing, don't get me wrong. No youtuber comes close, not even someone like Mentour Pilot. But every so often it's just... stupid. Like when an FAA guy writes possible causes on a white board, and it's literally just 6 bullet points they cross off one by one. Or when 5 people are hovering around a scientist who should be in a lab. Or the pilots reacting far stronger than they actually did on the voice recorder- like more angry or more fearful.
It's a great show visually. But when I love watching channels that show the crash and have all the facts right without tons of drams, like Disaster Breakdown, this show hits different. And yeah, they do tend to make mistakes - but any show, or channel on UA-cam, likely has a mistake or two.
I feel the same way, it truly amazing how they can figure out the cause of each planes disaster!
This series is sooo addicting
Agreed

Yes I agree, I also enjoy watching these planes going down, I don't who dies or lives.
Yes

Thank you for putting this together!
Oh gosh, this is so sad to watch. Such airline disasters, wherever they occur, are always heart wrenching & heart breaking to hear about & to see via tv. All human lives are worthy and precious, no matter where one hails from. I sometimes wonder, what countless souls have thought about, during such fearful moments & prior to such catastrophic events. For most on these flights, their last few minutes of their life. To all who have died, may you all rest in eternal peace & my condolences i send, to their nearest & dearest. They will never be forgotten, but always remembered & honoured.
Amen
Thank you…. I haven’t yet seen it as an episode in this series (I haven’t seen the whole video though)… but on 21 OCT 1989, SAHSA Flight 414, a Boeing 727-200, crashed on approach at Tocontín International Airport in Honduras. The crash was determined to be pilot error and possible criminal negligence. 131 people died, my father was one of them. 15 survived, including all the pilots. So, again, thank you so
much for your words, they are beautiful and they mean a lot.
yeah it is bad. some people go abroad for work, to see their families and to relax and these accidents happen. all these people. their families and children. a minute of silence for these poeple.
I worked on the aftermath of the Lauda Air disaster, identifying some of the victims. It was horrific. This is the first time I have seen this crash reported (that said, I don't watch every air crash doco).
Working on plane crashes put me off flying for ever. Lauda was the third of four plane crashes I worked on over four years. Nothing can prepare you for the experience.
thank you for the work that you do. and please please please make sure you talk to someone... even if you feel like you don't need to. you know, just because of the experience and what you had to see and deal with... because obviously it would impact anyone who had to help identify bodies from that type of plane crash. that had to be extremely difficult. again thank you
It gave me nightmares for decades. We did our best to debrief from the horror (especially an Air Vietnam crash that killed a colleague), but that was in the very early days when there wasn't an understanding that being at the aftermath of a disaster caused PTSD as well as being in the disaster. It was hard to go to a professional and say, "I was at the scene of these plane crashes and I can't get over it," because they would look at you as if you were making it up and looking for attention. I hope things have improved now. I got to the point where I just didn't want to keep thinking about it or talking about it. I have all the hypervigilance and I isolate myself, live like a hermit. All my friends know never to sneak up on me (more PTSD, this time from a terrorist threat). They can identify when I am becoming overloaded and they know not to push me.
Many of my colleagues spent their recreation hours in the local bars. Some of them got into drugs. That's what happens when you push it all down in order to function and do what needs to be done. @@godsdaughter9042

I was on a 737 CP Air Canadian pacific air that had rudder trouble in winter In 1982 we headed out to dump fuel and that gave them a chance to foam the runway and we were bucking pretty bad not sure if weather was the culprit or rudder but by the time we landed I could barley walk off the airplane my legs were shaking so much …which lead to a fear of flying I developed after that for almost 30 years I was worse over open water, I got hypnotized for it and tried everything but it didn’t work. Well Valium did help so I usually took that. So I had a little tiny taste of what these poor passengers felt and I can tell you it gave me a whole different outlook on flying, the other thing was in the 80’s there was a crash every other month or you’d be traveling somewhere and on the news was a crash … planes have never been safer and people should remember that the safety they enjoy now is born on the backs of the passengers who died and having learned from their misfortune. Thanks to them you fly safer now. God bless them.
thank you so much for sharing. someone questioned in the comments, "why didn't they interview survivors" - well your sharing made up for it.
I remember Canadian Pacific. it brought back memories when you mentioned it (I'm Canadian). that was back in the heyday of flying. a different time that's for sure 😊
My remedy is I won't fly anymore and what a relief that is, honestly, for me with the nonsense of just the whole check-in and everything. If I can't drive take a train or a boat I don't go. I get not everyone is gonna even want to do this. That story of yours is just something I don't need. Glad your alright.
I don't have a fear of flying. I have a fear of crashing.
As I’ve heard it described before: the fall doesn’t kill you, it’s the sudden stop

Check out Mentour pilot who details each accident many of the same ones.
@@sharoncassell9358 I like Mentour Pilot. I would want him to be my flight instructor (if I was smart enough to even consider being a pilot). I had no idea in the logistics & skills it takes to becoming one.
He's not at all showy about what he knows either considering he has every right to be. They have to be very, very smart people to become pilots and he's very good at enlightening viewers as to what goes into flying an aircraft & what can happen when it doesn't go according to plan.✈💓
This is the in flight movie entertainment of the night.
This is the only thing ive every sat 3 hours and fully watched
After watching these documentaries I've realized that there are a lot of unsung heroes we never heard about and I'm talking about pilots and passengers.
I 💕 it when the pilot is at the door to greet passengers! I ALWAYS STOP, shake hands, look in the eye, and sincerely thank him for taking care of 'us' - whether boarding or exiting the flight. I can always see the immediate reaction from them. AND, I thank the flight attendants as well. God bless them for the tough job they do.

I have to be thoroughly sedated with prescription meds to board a commercial plane due to many unpleasant experiences during childhood when we traveled extensively. You name it, it happened. Landed in a cornfield, skidded off the runway, engine blowout, lightning strike, freefalls in air pockets when we were the first off the runway during a tropical storm, landing gear wouldn't drop and circled the runway until we were out of gas, sandstorm, clipped some trees, and a parrot bit me on one flight. A Yorkie bit me on another. I remember one flight when the stewardesses looked terrified, and my mother screaming into a pillow and clutching my hand until she almost crushed it. The airlines sent a shrink to the hotel when I refused to go back to the airport the next day after that horrific flight. I literally hid under the bed. It took 3 days and they snuck some sleeping powder into my chocolate milk finally. Tried to conquer my aviophobia later in life with flight lessons. It went ok for the first few flights, until my instructor (who was an expert stunt pilot) crashed in Mexico doing an airshow performance. Mechanical error. Last year I flew to S. America after a loved one died because I didn't care about crashing, I was too preoccupied with my loss. But I'm stuck here now, lol. I won't fly again. And you couldn't pay me a 100 tons of Krugers to board a 737. They are cursed. They should all be grounded. I will only fly on an airbus A320. That's how I got to S. America. And only because there is no safe passage by ground across the Darian Gap. Unfortunately, covid halted the cruises or I would have taken a ship instead. I flew once on the Concorde and still have the bag of goodies they gave me. I didn't like it as much as I liked the 747s back then. Flew in a helicopter from Kennedy with our 2 dogs. Didn't like that, and neither did the dogs. The 70s into the early 80s was the best for flying. Big, roomy seats. Attentive crew. Going to meet the pilots in the cockpit. Warm blankets, pillows, candy, coloring books and little toys. Now you get crammed into a metal tube like cattle. Even in first class I feel squished and claustrophobic. I watch these vids to justify my fears... and it works, lol.

1:21:23 I would feel the same reaction, trying to help someone but can’t is a horrible feeling
I have watched other crash documentaries. I love that others show the Investigation Process. And conclude with Enhancements to Regulations, Flight Awareness and Training. Which makes flying Safer. Doesn't end with the Cause or Blame.
don't you think the cause is kind of an important fact? kinda wraps up the story.
Your post is confusing.

6:49 has the sad irony of having an instrument to measure vibration but you can’t read it because it’s vibrating is the most sad shit out there🤣
there's sadder stuff out there.
Damn, i remember this, happened quite close to where i am, not far away from the East Mids airport and i'm quite close to the M1! (The first accident in the video) Stephen McCoy took his first steps after 30 years, back in 2019 with the aid of an exoskeleton, he was 16 when in the crash, suffering brain damage and paralysis down one side.. He's now 49! 47 people lost their lives, 79 seriously injured. Looking at the pictures, I'm amazed they didn't all pass!

9-11 clinched it for me. I'm in awe of how those monster sized planes can stay up in the air. I'm afraid of them and will never board one.

@@conniefelan2031it's the sound but the terrorists cinched it mostly?
This compilation doesn't give enough post-crash data. I want more. I'll just have to watch the individual episodes.
Right? I had to go research each flight to see how many people survived some (like the one with the foreign woman) cuz I knew if she did, maybe more people did. Not many tho.
True, I wanted more info on the FedEx crash

He was qualified for.
Narrator is so damn good. Keeps you interested and well-informed. It's such a clear voice.
Right?!?! His voice is perfect for this. I'd love to hear him narrating some boring humdrum thing just to make it amusingly epic.
Yeah I agree but I mean it is Smithsonian, like, this aired on cable TV. So it's not your typical YT channel. They did do a great job in selecting this guy though his voice is engaging. But the acting at times can be quite the ball of corn
mayday air disasters ... they also have a good narrator also...
That would be Bill Ratner, the voice of Flint on the classic _G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero_ cartoon.
Nah, Peter Thomas,the narrator of all the early Forensic Files, is easily at the top. (1924-2016)
From my novice knowledge, having the instrument panel shudder to become illegible is something the design engineer should be looking at to resolve as a matter of urgency. A crude example is the way a car absorbs all external energy in the shocks. The control panel should have a shock absorption activate when the rest of the cockpit is vibrating! Not being able to read or able to see the instruments at that very point they are needed most demands this be resolved. Perhaps this has been resolved but is a huge miss in the original design.
Don't see how that would be possible since some of the instruments are responding to sensitive movements of the airplane. I'm taking flying lessons now and watch those instruments like a hawk! Can't imagine how scary, acutally scarier, it would be without them.
cool info. thanks.
cool info. thanks.
Absolutely correct, you no less than nothing on the subject so best to keep silent rather than look stupid stating complete rubbish
this was a 737-400, the needles on the vibration gauges run around the outside as they are LED, which actually makes the gauges easier to read under high vibration. Both pilots had less than 1hr training on the 400 and no simulator experience, they were used to the 300 with gauge needles on the inside. Basically it was a new plane they weren't used to and thus easy to mis-read the gauges. The problem came down to training, the gauges were fine.
3:22 to 4:20 is my favourite section, the Intense and dramatic'eeness' is so well made
I see so many of these documentaries where the final analysis is that the pilots were supposed to know which instruments were really broken and which ones are displaying the correct information. I know they are trained for it, but think about this for a moment.
They were probably panicking because of the split second decisions they had to make.
Most of these crashes occur because pilots act too quickly without reading instruments
@@sexynelson100""
Yeah, in most cases they have a "book" that can help guide them but when it's a split second decision it gets to be a lot. Regardless plane crashes are so tare I don't worry about it
Ive flown roughly 25 hours of instrument time in helicopters, and its really an eye opening experience when you actually get in the cockpit and are wearing a hood so all you can see is the instrument panel. It takes constant cross checking and mental notes to ensure every instrument lines up with the others and nothing is showing an odd reading. Took a few hours to learn to trust them, but, what i was flying was a whole lot smaller and not as advanced as a commercial airliner. I was always told, trust but verify. The instructor would cause a random instrument to "fail" (pull the breaker so it would lose power) and time how long it took me to pick up on it. Its certainly intense.
The longer episodes are the best
I really applaud Lauda for persisting to prove it was the reversethrust on their own while investigators had given up basically and said pilot error.
I remember what lauda said when racing formula,1. He said of his rival, James hunt, that he( himself) didnt have to worry about hunt when they both engaged a turn at 150 miles per hour ! That's SERIOUS CONCENTRATION and BALLS. Im bringing this up because a professional like lauda WONT QUIT ANTHING until he gets the RIGHT ANSWER. 1 hell of a man. Rest his soul...

VERY VERY COOL CAT
@Mary Dalton please..in the kings English for those not well versed in ebonics?
I think about the times that I've flown, which was maybe a little over a handful. Watching these episodes puts me right inside the doomed flights.
I can't think of anything much more terrifying than knowing that you are going to die in a plane crash. My heart goes out to all of the victims and families who suffered so much pain and heartache. I remember what an accident investigator Greg Feith said.
You have to detach yourself from the human standpoint in order to complete the investigation, otherwise you're no good to the team.
I guess some people have that ability. I don't think that i could be one of them. It's a little bit comforting to know that the victims'deaths were not in vain. Their loss ultimately saved countless people from suffering the same fate in future flights.
The 80's seemed to be the worst decade for plane crashes. Seemed like every time you turned around, there was another accident. You hardly hear about them now, thanks to the dedicated, tireless efforts of the NTSB..
@alb.dersame, yes, I agree. The 1980's, seem like the deadliest decade, for airplane crashes. The year, 1985, especially with the Japan Airlines crash, whereby over 500 people died; the bomb, that exploded on Air India, that killed over 300 people; and, there were several more crashes, in 1985, which probably, made it the deadliest year, in Aviation.🙏
Then, there was the 1987 crash, in Detroit, Michigan, that killed over 200 people, but a 4-year-old girl, was the only survivor. Her parents, and brother died. Also, in 1987, in California, a passenger, [allegedly], crashed an airplane, on [purpose]. The passenger, had been fired for, allegedly, stealing on the job. After, he was terminated, he sought revenge, on his Boss. He booked a flight, that his former Boss, was on. He had a firearm, because he still had his credentials, from his job, that allowed him to still fly, for the Airline Company. This former employee, allegedly, shot and killed his former Boss, on the plane, and then he allegedly, shot and killed the Pilots, and the flight Attendant. He then, allegedly, put the Plane in to a nose dive, and the Plane was speeding so fast, that it broke the sound barrier. The plane, totally, [disingrated] upon impact. There were about [50] passengers, on that plane, who were left [alive], including the [alleged killer], as that plane was crashing, and everyone died. The absolute, terror, that they had to face.😢
Then, there was the crash in 1989, in Sioux City, Iowa, whereby the plane had to land, with no [hydraulics]. The plane, had a rough landing, flipped over, and caught on fire. The pilots, all survived, as well as around 184 passengers, [survived], but around 118 passengers, did [perish]. The pilots, did an amazing job, as well as a passenger, who was a pilot, assisted the crew, with landing the crippled plane.😒 There, were many other crashes, in the 1980's, but these really standout, as examples. Yes, again, I agree, the 1980's, was the deadliest, in Aviation crashes, in my opinion.
Also, yes, I really like Greg Feith, and the other NTSB investigators. They, really, explain everything so well, regarding the Airplane crashes, that they have investigated, over the years, [as well as their commentary, on other Airplane crashes].👍
@@tracydavis8982 yes they're commentary was brilliant. I remember most of the plane crashes that you mentioned. The one that really sticks out in my memory was the one in Detroit, Michigan. I live here, but northeast in Marine City. I lived about 45 miles east when the crash occurred. My brother-in-law and step sister were up visiting from Ohio. They had to drive right past the area where the plane crashed, they were on their way home. When it came on the news, I reasoned that they were already past it by an hour or two. I remember the headlines on the front cover of the Detroit News the next morning. It read "And a time to every purpose under Heaven." I was touched by it. A time to laugh, a time to cry, a time to be born, a time to die. Obviously the song was Turn, Turn, Turn by The Byrds. It was a touching kind of consolence. I thought "what a great idea that the author of that story had." It was truly a Miracle that the little girl survived. If I had a dime for every time I've driven past that spot, I'd be rich. There is still a sort of memorial there. Ive been watching a lot of videos on UA-cam by Mentour Pilot, 74 Gear with Kelsey Hughes, and several of the other programs that do such amazing re-inactments. I've been watching them every day lately. I'm 64 years old and retired. The programs are so gripping, and so well made. Thanks for the reply and confirming that the 80's were the worst. I thought that they were, if I was remembering correctly. Have a great day. Oh and I can't begin to imagine those 50 people who were murdered along with the guy's boss, the pilots, and the stewardess? It's absolutely unimaginable. They say that God weeps too. 🙏

Those planes must have been inspected on a Friday !!
Very well made video,Thank you for sharing with us!!!
Thx 4 also doing a long episodes
I am so hooked on these shows I am freaking out that I will never go on a plane.
Back in the 70's a family friend who is in his 90's and still alive purchased a new plane and was ferry flying it from the manufacturer to his local airport and it suffered a massive fuel pump failure and both engines cut out and they radioed the tower told them they were going down and were going to land on a public road and a car showed up and they veered off the road and landed in a drainage ditch flipped the plane over 2 of the 4 on board were knocked out and had to be drug out of the plane as it caught fire. He got a new plane through insurance and etc but thats the craziest actual plane crash I know of with anyone I know.
I can't remember what kind of plane other than if I recall it was a twin engine Piper
@@ADDrecords He wasnt 90 at the time, He owns a local lumber yard and he still drives big rig trucks for work in his 90's. Dudes been a family friend forever he went to his last high school reunion as he outlived his entire class and hes the last alive its nuts.
why is it better to take off, knowing the plane wont fly far, rather than trying to brake and possibly go off the end of the runway? seems like that would be the safer option for some circumstances
I think most (if not all) commercial airliners are able to safely achieve positive-rate (climb) if an engine fails after rotation speed. Its between V1 and the “rotate” callout that is a problem, because the plane does not have enough space to safely stop, and may not be able to safely climb away either. But after all, its easy for us to judge in hindsight, but under stress and fear and extreme time constraints, critical decision making can often be difficult.
IKR and why the hell don't runways have the end of the runway cleared, be that a empty field or what? I fully realize space is an issue and not always possible but I watch all these shows and the amount of times there's either a wharehouse or raised walkway or fuel tanks or a bloody ditch at the end of the runway...it's like NO, keep that clear, ya know. Just in case.
Like you I'd rather skid into a set of trees rather then drop from 700 feet THEN skid into the trees.
33:08 didn’t know Shang-chi was a superhero and air traffic controller!

why am i watching this before my flight lol
I was on a flight from LA to San Diego when we hit pea soup fog. Pilot attempted multiple tries to land while he talked to us on the intercom. Omg what a bumpy ride. We eventually had to fly back to L A and be bused down. Fine with me 😅.
Exactly as annoying as it was at the time could have ended bad
10:13 was the most shocking one. Lauda Air's accident sequence happened so suddenly and so quickly saving the plane was humanly impossible... I feel terrible for them; it's like the machine went rogue on them.

I was actually going past East midland 92 when it crashed near the M1 in the UK
I can't imagine being at work with my family home and hearing a plane crashed into building. OMG the shear horror!!!!!!!!
The passengers on that Concorde sees their lives before them slowly and realized they will die...what a terrible feeling before they slammed into that building...
I flew from London to NY on that bird when I was little. With my parents, I don't remember much but I do still have the little trinkets they gave to kids who flew with them. It was a bag of goodies.
@@cantfindmykeys Yes, i too, remember the bits & bobs that they handed to their passengers. Those were the best days of flying, although these days, i love to fly the amazing A380 & the Airbus A320. I also take regular domestic flights, which are always safe where i live. With your flying experience, i was wondering.....Have you flown the Boeing 767 and 777? If so, what are your thoughts regarding these 2 airlines?
@@INTUITIVENORSK2303 @Kalashi Kashmiri Euro girl I can't remember all the metal tubes I was reluctantly persuaded (mostly by my parents) to travel in. The last flight I took was on an A320 w/Avianca and I paid 1200usd for a 2hr 40min flight first class and all they gave me was a pathetic little bag of catfood(?) and a tiny bottle of water. But I chose the flight because I like the A320. We flew in a lot of bloated 2-tiered jets on those long haul flights. I remember being stuck on planes for more that 15 hours and we got very restless and pestered the flight staff relentlessly. But back then they were very patient and accommodating. We flew Pan Am, TWA, British air, Braniff, Eastern, Alia (my sister was named after it because my mother almost gave birth to her on the plane), Kuwait air, Egypt air, Interflug, Cyprusair, Alpen (small jet), some small French airlines- I can't remember the name of it- Luftansa and Apolla (those were Airbus 300s), Alitalia, and others and a few helicopters which was horrible, especially with the dogs and they were having a fit. I loved the spiral staircase of the 747s. I liked those the best because we had so much room to run around. Most of the overnight intercontinental flights had many empty seats and we really stretched out on those. I remember having several rows of seats to myself and putting blankets over them and folding them down to make a little fort, lol. So I would have to say the 777, the 380 and the 320 are my favorites.
how many people died or were injured when the Concorde slammed into a hotel and burst into flames. the show never mentions anything about that. have to google i guess.
edit. found out 4 people in the hotel died .
Captain: "Can I get 2 flaps and 1 engine please?"

I was 3 during 9/11 and I remember exactly where I was. Still gives me shivers.
Well i was still 1 so i don't remember that much. I remember watching scenes on TV. But i can't tell If it was to the time it happened or somewhen later as documentary or something.
i remember it clear as day lmao, and i knew right away that the united trash of trash did this lmao haha blaming on goatfuQQers 3920483904823948390275 miles away living in caves is laughable haha
I was scheduled to fly out of Dallas Tx at 8:00 am on 9/11. The night before, I had a strange experience while sitting by my Mother's pool and was so convinced my infant son and I would die if we boarded the next morning that I called a friend at midnight asking to borrow money for a rental car. I argued with my mother all morning until reports came on the television regarding the first flight hitting the North Tower. To this day she still acts as if I was being ridiculous, and belittles the idea of premonitions even though I'm not prone to fantastical claims or imagination. I will say there was something about the area where she lived in Grapevine, I often saw things in the mist there late at night. It was unnerving, but not scary...they seemed like visions or imprints from the past. It was the strangest thing.
@@swampwitch9939 I'm glad you don't feel it's a bad thing when you feel something isn't right. We can't help our intuitions whether good or bad. I think we all have experienced them. I guess they seem strange because they don't occur often and why they seem unusual when they do. 9/11 was a terrible day. RIP all souls lost on 9/11.🌹❤

Don't let these type of videos scare u into not flying your chances of dying in a plane crash is 1 in 26 million.. there is 7 billion people on the planet 6 million people fly a day which is 1% of the world population fly every day .. a total of 100,000 flights take off and land every single day across the world how many flights to you hear about crashing? Maybe once every 3 years if that.. meanwhile you have a 1 out of 309 chance in dying in a car crash every time you get inside of a motor vehicle.. planes crashing are so rare its almost as rare as being killed by a lion yes it has happened to people but how many people do you personally know that have died in a plane crash better yet every person you know coworkers and family and friends have died in a plane crash meanwhile all of them have been on a plane? Lastly I'll just say we all have to die someday how we will end up dying you never know but if it's by a plane crash sounds alot cooler then a car crash or heart attack I'd say

@30:46 shocked to see Shang- Chi 😂😂😂😂😂
If I wasn't pursuing film and tv, my second dream career was piloting.
You could be an actor in one of these.
If you're a nervous flyer and watching this know we have never left one up there. Even if they disintegrate and explode into an ocean we still get them back down.
@@ADDrecords what I'm getting at is even if the engines fall off or the left wing takes out the right wing we get them back on the ground in a homage to IKEA flat pack furniture, some assembly required.
years ago when considering learning to fly, my "tentative" instructor was answering my wife's questions.. "But, what, what if he runs out of gas or something? What are the chances he'll make it down?" "100% Miss, 100%, he is going to make it down."
@@richardmourdock2719 🤣🤣🤣 love it lol
I believe the first one had a “pilot error” factor. If I remember right, the pilots had just changed onto that type from a previous 737 type (I think it was the -300 to the -400).
And due to the prior generation air conditioning being fed from the right engine that led them to believe it was the right engine. But the system had been redesigned for the new type and pulled air from both engines.
Confirmation bias. Past practice.
This was because the cabin crew were not trained to say the correct side. They told them the wrong side from visual out of the window ....you always look at the cockpit for right and left they were facing the other way
That pilot was also on vacation when those systems were changed and he was never made privy to the changes before he came back. I don't see him at any fault whatsoever.
@estherlane7498 under duress, even if trained they can easily mix it up. I've mislabeled lungs as a nurse and the brain can flip things even with good intentions. With that said better protocols can help, but doesn't avoid the mistake entirely.
@@estherlane7498 not sure if it's the case on planes, but on boats, you say starboard and port to avoid that very issue

Thank god for youtube
I love it when the ghost of xmas past materializes in the cockpit of John Kennedy Jr's airplane,
the way he looks at him kinda funny. No disrespect RIP.
I don't know if it was already translated to English but Zille, one of the pilots of this case 18:54, wrote a book where he gives the details before, during and after the plane crash. He also gave one interview on the channel "Aviões e músicas", it's in Portuguese but you can turn the youtube automatic subtitles on and it will work 80% (Just some expressions the AI don't get it and translates it literally). After the crash they stayed 2-3 days lost in the middle of the Amazon, their luck was that one of the passengers knew the area and was able to walk a few kilometers into the jungle until finding a village and asking for help.
I sure hope they put that hill on the chart now after that crash.
Nope 😅😴

If someone’s wondering why we don’t see the ending from the stories, this is a compilation with all the crashes, not the whole stories :’)
Well, I think it's nice for someone to enlighten some viewers who may not understand.😊✈👍👍
I really wish these would give us SOME idea with what caused the crashes in these compilations…
No. Some pilots say they like it to not make the same mistakes.
Check mentour pilot. He explains the entire reason for the mishaps.
Read & watch Mentour pilot. He's thorough on commentary and accurate. He waits until the final report comes out. Also he is a line captain instructor. So there's no drama or frills just facts.
It’s a TV show, they’re trying to reel you in with the clips
Is it just me or does Asiana 214 could've just been a bumpy landing if the nose was lowered a bit and the tail didn't impact the ridge connecting to the pier. In the animation I mean
Pilot: Co Pilot, find out what's wrong.
Co Pilot: Engine 2 says it's running a little Hot.
Engine 2 : I'm Running a Little Hot.
🥵🥵🤬🤬🤬… damn engine #2 🤬🤬
Narrator: It may be too late
Captain: “ ahh ahhhhhhhhh”
That bit with Kennedy's family screaming as they go in is bogus... the thing about a spiral in IMC is that the pilot (and the passengers) don't feel it due to the spatial disorientation... So in the dark and fog they most likely would not have been aware of any kind of problem until the moment of impact...
When flying, if you dont have instant reactions,and the right ones,you wont last long
For those airplanes that crash because of faulty gyroscopes, how about having a simple water bottle on board to always be sure where's up and where is down?
Bingo!!!
You said before me!!!
The best thing for 'spatial disorientation' is liquid in a transparent container.
A good old compass and a water bottle would save a lot of lives.
Cockpits should also have tiny apertures for pilots to push out emergency anemometers (such as pitot tubes) for air speed and barometers for elevation due to atmospheric pressure.
Or a leveler?
Won't work. Liquid levels are most vulnerable to the forces gyros are specifically designed to disregard. In the right loop a liquid level will show you the ground in any direction.
The bottom half of the bottle should be red to denote the ground. When the red half is ever on top, u are upside down. Just like the horizon indicator

Would have been nice to have eachbepisode end with the investigative results. Other then that, this was great compilation.
I flew as a stew for UAL in the early 60s. One time in NY I asked the pilot how many seconds before takeoff was normal. He told me. I watched and counted, went over that and all of a sudden we made a quick turn off the runway as not to go into Jamaica Bay. We had a fire. I was shaken.

Is everything genuine?
being a pilot very question i was had how much do you get paid 1 flight pls tell me
WTF
@@mrlacki5155 the way he worded it made it seem WTF but in reality, this show has many episodes that are pilot error which helps future pilots avoid such errors
This is reassuring. 👍🙏
37:37 That was HILLARY bruh, not bad flying or instrument settings.
Y’all are funny as hell about “improved security” including the cabin doors. That’s great if the damn door is installed properly…. But it’s hard to take that seriously when you’re on a Boeing jumbo jet on a flight leaving the US for international destinations and as you look up, you watch the whole damn cockpit door fall out! That sucker can be as bullet proof as possible, but if the gunman is standing on it, I don’t think the safety is quite the same! Call me crazy!
As a reminder for nervous flyers: Remember that aviation as a profession has gotten dramatically safer as a result of each and every one of the flights featured here. It is aviation safety experts' top priorities to learn from the mistakes these pilots and engineers made and prevent them from happening again.
5:16 Do any of u guys know how much you make for being an air craft investigator? Because I wanna be an air craft investigator now. Looks and sounds SOOOO cool!
I'm sure Google can shed light on the answer you're looking for. Make sure you specify NTSB investigators though. You'll probably also need a masters degree if you want a good position and your degree would have to be aviation related unless you worked as a chemist or metallurgist etc etc.
