This is so sad. The pilots saw it coming, and couldn't save themselves. See how fast everything can change. Let's start the New Year with love and compassion, helping each other. And loving ourselves... The New Year Will be a much better one.
It's hard to be loving and compassionate if you love yourself too much. This whole self-love thing breeds narcissistic pride and turns people into hateful creeps over time.
@@nckhed self love need not translate into hate for others. Change of any nature begins with oneself. And loving oneself can often soften up a person to include everyone. It is the foundation for empathy. RIP people who perished on this horrific accident.
What a tragedy! RIP to the souls on board. The older pilot actor deserves a hand too because he did an excellent job portraying the gravity and tension of the situation.
Those poor pilots and people in the apartment. They did everything they could to save their airplane but failed. They were so close to Schipol Airport for an emergency landing. 😭😭😭😭
Loss of an engine caused flight control issue. When they reduced speed for landing they lost lift in the wing which is why they crashed. There was nothing they could have done.
Yup it’s scary to live on land or neither building.. without knowing that big thing and it’s gonna explode right under our roof! That kaboom and you won’t be knowing that you just had a life in 1 second ago and 1 second after that you don’t. Also afterlife or no afterlife is secondary scary! 🤥
A car could crash through your house too,ice could fall off a plane and through your roof, maybe a meteorite or a tree getting hit from a bolt of lighting or wind storm. Why don't you imaging the pilots knowing they're going to die and can't do anything and know they are going to take out a crap ton of people and they can't stop that either. We all can imagine. I guess don't leave near the flight path of an airplane or a tornado
This was terrifying to watch! It can happen to anyone of us at any moment! Never take your life or your freedom for granted. I'm so very sorry to all the family members who've lost their loved ones.
You never ever in your worst dreams expect a plane to smash into your apartment. Imagine, there were couples who'd had a romantic dinner and gone to bed, kids who'd had a day playing in the park, families spending time together and then it's all over. That's scary - that your life can be taken anytime without warning. RIP to all those poor souls who perished both in the building and on the plane.x
Lost a few of my friends in that plane crash 😢…. although is almost 30 years ago, it seems like it happend yesterday… still remember and feel the explosions, heat, panic and helpless feeling from that day… that was the saddest day of my life… RIP 🪦 to all those people who lost their life’s… you won’t be forgotten..!
So sorry you went through that horrible experience and that you lost friends and neighbors that way. Hard to ever recover from a trauma like that. I am grateful you and the others who escaped, were unharmed. God bless you and keep you until the day when you see your friends again in Heaven.
To clarify, the 2 right engines did not fail - that would have been fairly easily survivable - they separated from the wing, damaging the wing itself. The pilots basically had no chance, This was not a unique occurrence - a virtually identical failure (2 right engines tearing away just after takeoff) had happened less than a year earlier to a China Airlines flight with the same tragic result. Fortunately (in a sense) both were freighters so the number of people on board was very small compared to the passenger version of the same plane, but of course the El Al tragically crashed into a building.

Because the plane only hit part of the building because the building was spread out horizontally not vertically. Everything below the plane collapsed and was destroyed.
The plane crashed exactly into a weaker spot of the building, on the ground/first floor was a passage for trucks and fire fighting vehicles, the rest of the building was so strong that, even breaking completely loose from it's foundation, it did not collapse any further.
I remember that. It was a tragic moment in my life. Lost a friends daughter who had called me uncle. He later took his own life as well after his wife had died of cancer . Flash backs as i watched this. RIP my friends.

I lived withing the view of the Amsterdam Intl. Airport for many years and flew many Commersial PUBLIC and Private Cesna's out of here... I'm familar with it all... and Believe Amsterdam to be one of the safest airports to fly in and out of, and yet, it is the BUSIEST AIRPORT in Europe . . . and remember this event!
October 1992. Back then, El Al was state-owned. One of its Boeing 747 cargo aircraft crashed in Amsterdam during that fateful flight. Total ground fatalities numbered 43. In the cargo plane : 4 deaths. Total : 47 deaths. The death toll could have been much higher had that Jumbo Jet transported passengers, and not cargo.
@@thepixielife219 The plane hit the building vertically at high speed, and the building was spread out horizontally, not vertically. The part that got hit was destroyed.
This airport in Amsterdam and El Al had quite the deal transporting goods (cargo). It was HUGE. The things that were in the bellies of those El Al planes was dangerous. Chemicals and military crap. It slowly killed or maimed people who lived nearby. Tragic. El Al needs to pay millions to fix this.
Wow, the first time I heard about that terrible tragedy. So sad. “Through many trials and tribulations shall the righteous enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” RIP to all the innocent people and animals who died that horrific night.
I remember I went the funeral of my mom's families member eight at a time. They were not supposed to die. A day later one of them was to travel to Aruba. Because she was terminal. They were with her when the plane hit the apartment building.

This makes me appreciate even more Capt. “Sully” Sullenberger’s decision to try the Hudson River rather than try to return to an airport over a populated area like New York. Jan. 2009. He apparently was criticized for his decision by the insurance companies..but I can only imagine the loss of life if he couldn’t make a runway.
Just imagine for 5 seconds, if we the readers would had been in that flight how traumatized it would have been for anyone to sense that we r going to die at any moment.. my sympathies and empathy with the lost one .. they must have died 1000 thousand times before the plane hitting the apartment and facing the real death.. That must have been the terror of the life...

They didn’t talk about the poor people in the complex man how scary what a Tragedy for all heart goes out to all involved. Just never know if you’re coming home or not so love those around you and those who send off those they love let them know you love them.
This reminds me the plane crash in Karachi where the plane fell on buildings. Two persons survived miraculously while people at their home died and injured. Later in the clips we watched the pilot was saying mayday mayday.
I flew into Schiphol Airport once. We encountered heavy turbulence before our approach to land. Lots of big ups and downs for about 10 minutes. I was traveling with my cousin. When we finally landed, people were cheering. The plane came to a stop and I looked over at my cousin. She reaches for the paper bag and starts puking. 🤢🤣
The pilot for landing to schiphol and take off from schiphol must have a special trained, cos what i knew.... Schiphol can be very windy. But what i know they built new run way. So they have a lot of runway, all because fast wind direction. Sorry to not clear English explanation
The amount of people that suffered from the horrible effects of what the aircraft was carrying, an ingredient that is used for the manufacturing of the nerve gas Sarin...
@dontspikemydrink9382 several humans got sick for life after the crash, thanks to uranium which was in the cargo. There were men in white suits on location very fast. So bullshit? I dunno
I flew from Stuttgart, Germany to Amsterdam under a snow storm. I was praying that the flight will be cancel after we boarded the plane. It was not, and the plane took off. I saw those people deicing the wings and i was real scare. The plane landed in Armsterdam....no problem at all, but i will never step into a plane never again if snowing hard....listen to me you all out there. Nothing you can do after you are sitting in the plane.
That's what happened to the Air Florida flight 90 out of Washington DC in the 80s. Look that one up. I was nearby as I lived in Maryland but at home when news coverage broke into programming. Terrifying. Heavy snow and pilots familiar only with warm weather. Hung out too long after de-icing and the plane fell from the sky immediately after takeoff and hit the 14th Street bridge midday. Killed a few on the bridge along with all but 5 in the plane I believe. There was live coverage for hours on scene. It hurt to watch. On the other side, air travel has gotten far safer since those days and we know much more. Planes fly day and night in winter weather and are very well educated in what to do. Airports are very astute and pilots have incredible training. Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to get on a snowy flight. I wouldn't miss that beauty. 💗

If El Al knows their true situation, they shouldn’t have deployed their flaps on final landing and risk on high speed at nearly 350km on their final approach. They did whenever they can could to keep their plan fly until they meet their fate. We must not forget to what happened to Al El Pilots. RIP To El Al Pilots of 1862.
Two of my friends were in Amsterdam at the time and had to fly home a couple of days later than they were going to because of this crash .I was worried about them when I heard about it but then realised it was a cargo plane. What an horrific thing to have happened.
My dad left there 30 minutes before the airplane crashed into the building and heared about it on the radio in the car and he did go back and found out that his 2 friends died then 😔
Pilot error. Captain reduced airspeed to below VMC by trying to fly a circular landing approach to loose 5,000 ft of altitude, when they were already heading directly back to Schiphol airport, should have made an unorthodox straight in approach, keeping high airspeed, no flaps and no slats landing, which would have kept the aircraft safely under control, modulated by pitch and gear down drag. Basic stick and rudder flying. It would have been a hard landing, brakes may have caught fire and tyres exploded, but no one would have lost their life. It would have helped the pilots to have had cameras to show engines 3 & 4 were no longer on the aircraft, and to show they had asymmetric flaps. Correct me if the 747 no longer had working elevator and working ailerons due to hydraulic fluid loss? I believe hydraulic fluid loss only affected the starboard flaps and slats from being deployed. The tragedy was so great, that it has been difficult, if not impossible, to mention that the aircraft was still capable of making a safe landing only if flown unorthodoxly.
If you go to wikipedia, the official death count sits at 47 lost lives. However, those were the official registered people who died in the apartment complex. There were WAY more unregistered people living illegally in there. The estimated number of deaths lies closer to 200 - 250 people
Air disasters just don't GET any worse than this. That phenomenon of "failing hydraulics" is also something that happened with Nationair 2120, as I recall: it seems to factor into a lot of the worst crashes. It seems that finding some solution to, or backup for, that problem needs to be the next great revolution in aircraft technology.

R.I.P To all who lost their lives in this unfortunate event.🙏
2:31 2:43 The way he desperately shouts… I think that'll stick with me forever. It always feels like a stab in the gut when the crew is begging the plane to respond in those final moments. I can't fathom how powerless and helpless they must feel.
Fair play to the co-pilot for staying so calm.
Also where did you get side-stick priority from because its a Boeing 747 not an airbus.
Lol u realize its a movie remake of the actual accident right ? That means we will never know what they looked like during the accident.
@@pwr_gunr8977 yes I 100% know its a remake but he sounded calm is what i should of said.
A lot of artistic licence is used in these episodes, they over dramatise and attention to detail is a bit hit and miss. But that's what the audience wants.
@@scottgamedev8542 In the recorded ATC communications of the real accident, the co-pilot was also very calm throughout the accident. They even got his final words correct, "1862 going down, do you copy? We're going down"
@@pwr_gunr8977 YOU CAN LITERALLY HEAR THEIR VOICE IN THE ACCIDENT, EVERYTHING IS RECORDED ON THE BLACKBOX SO IT'S EASY TO REPLICATE HOW THEIR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS WERE BASED ON THEIR VOICE!
Captain 59 years old
First Officer 32 years old
Flight Engineer 61 years old including one passeger total 4 people have died on board and 39 others on the ground
May the blessings be
Thank you that was my next question ...
😥
That's crazy. Only 39 people? I was thinking like mass casualties in the 100s. Might have yo look this one up
@@thepixielife219 lots of undocumented deaths from immigrants
wow... this is very sad to see.
what is amazing is that the apartment did not suffer a collapse from the structural damage.
Yes... the apartment was split in two but it still didn't collapse
Because the plane only hit part of the building because the building was spread out horizontally not vertically. Everything below the plane collapsed and was destroyed.
The plane crashed exactly into a weaker spot of the building, on the ground/first floor was a passage for trucks and fire fighting vehicles, the rest of the building was so strong that, even breaking completely loose from it's foundation, it did not collapse any further.
This is a Reminder that death is always at your doorstep
Deep respect to the pilots and RIP to everyone who lost their lives in this tragic event
I remember that. It was a tragic moment in my life. Lost a friends daughter who had called me uncle. He later took his own life as well after his wife had died of cancer . Flash backs as i watched this. RIP my friends.
Smithsonian crew always at the scene on time
What is this Smithsonian.. Everyone talking about it
Love your comment
Same with TMZ. Funny how they were on scene before the first responders where🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😁
Definitely
To be honest, I've completely lost my ability to sense when someone's being facetious online, because of the insane number of silly comments I've read over the years. But in case you're serious, Smithsonian is just the network/channel airing the show.
Narrator: no one on the airplane survives
Outro: is brighter here :D
Also 10 times more people died on the ground than did in the plane...
Cameraman is invincible never dies 😅😂
The first officer was my childhood friend and neighbour, it's chilling to watch the video.
Full respect to everyone that died in this horrible scenario. Wow. i never knew deaths were this horrible.
I lived withing the view of the Amsterdam Intl. Airport for many years and flew many Commersial PUBLIC and Private Cesna's out of here... I'm familar with it all... and Believe Amsterdam to be one of the safest airports to fly in and out of, and yet, it is the BUSIEST AIRPORT in Europe . . . and remember this event!
October 1992. Back then, El Al was state-owned. One of its Boeing 747 cargo aircraft crashed in Amsterdam during that fateful flight. Total ground fatalities numbered 43. In the cargo plane : 4 deaths. Total : 47 deaths. The death toll could have been much higher had that Jumbo Jet transported passengers, and not cargo.
The low number of ground casualties shocks me. It flew into apartments. I figured it would at least be in 100s.
@@thepixielife219 : yes. Absolutely.
@@thepixielife219 The plane hit the building vertically at high speed, and the building was spread out horizontally, not vertically. The part that got hit was destroyed.
I don't know why the number of deaths on the ground wasn't mentioned in the video or why I scroll down this far to find that. Thanks for posting...
This airport in Amsterdam and El Al had quite the deal transporting goods (cargo). It was HUGE. The things that were in the bellies of those El Al planes was dangerous. Chemicals and military crap. It slowly killed or maimed people who lived nearby. Tragic. El Al needs to pay millions to fix this.
Uranium
what has surprised me is how calm the first officer remained when he said: going down 1862, going down. This was really #calmnessinthefaceofdeath
I remember watching this incident in the news way back in 1992.
Wow, the first time I heard about that terrible tragedy. So sad. “Through many trials and tribulations shall the righteous enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” RIP to all the innocent people and animals who died that horrific night.
imagine looking out your window and seeing a gigantic plane headed straight for you, creepy

Imagine just relaxing and having a cozy night and then a plane suddenly crashes into your apartment
I remember I went the funeral of my mom's families member eight at a time. They were not supposed to die. A day later one of them was to travel to Aruba. Because she was terminal. They were with her when the plane hit the apartment building.
Mi ta corda e accident aki. Un caso hopi tristo. E famia cu a muri tabata famia di un ex-colega dimi. E caso aki a haci un impacto na Aruba ora cu ela socede. Paz na e restonan 🙏🏾
Rip to the pilot passenger and whoever living in that building
I recall this. Very hard to accept it was in 92 and not more recent.
RIP to those who passed.
I saw it happening, lived there. I never forget the flames and the empty places in our society 😢
My father literally lived next to that apartment, he saw it happening.
Going down, I can't control, such horrible scene😣💔
I feel so bad for these people 😭
Every time I watch aeroplane crash videos, I get a bit nervous 😟
And I feel like crying bc of those poor people 🥺😭
This makes me appreciate even more Capt. “Sully” Sullenberger’s decision to try the Hudson River rather than try to return to an airport over a populated area like New York. Jan. 2009. He apparently was criticized for his decision by the insurance companies..but I can only imagine the loss of life if he couldn’t make a runway.
Just imagine for 5 seconds, if we the readers would had been in that flight how traumatized it would have been for anyone to sense that we r going to die at any moment.. my sympathies and empathy with the lost one .. they must have died 1000 thousand times before the plane hitting the apartment and facing the real death.. That must have been the terror of the life...
Jet fully fueled and slams into an apartment building, yet the building didn’t collapse, nor did any buildings around it collapse, amazing. RIP to the crew and those on the ground who lost their lives.
It was probably a dry run for 9-11
Tells a person something about the 911 story, doesn't it?
Here we go with the 9-11 reference...
Wow, there was even plane wreckage. Unlike.... Well you know II
Well it wasn't New York🤔
They didn’t talk about the poor people in the complex man how scary what a Tragedy for all heart goes out to all involved.
Just never know if you’re coming home or not so love those around you and those who send off those they love let them know you love them.
This reminds me the plane crash in Karachi where the plane fell on buildings. Two persons survived miraculously while people at their home died and injured. Later in the clips we watched the pilot was saying mayday mayday.
This crash really tells how hard it must have been for the crews of flight 671 too
My boyfriend was living in Amsterdam when this happened and heard the crash. Terrible.
Same here... shall never forget it.
Hello Dawn, How’re you doing?
imagine chilling in ya apartment on a calm evening and a big ass 747 fucks ya whole shit up
I flew into Schiphol Airport once. We encountered heavy turbulence before our approach to land. Lots of big ups and downs for about 10 minutes. I was traveling with my cousin. When we finally landed, people were cheering. The plane came to a stop and I looked over at my cousin. She reaches for the paper bag and starts puking. 🤢🤣
So you didn’t fly into the airport as in this plane flew into the apartments.
Natural
Like we needed to read that...stoopnagle
Ewww.
The pilot for landing to schiphol and take off from schiphol must have a special trained, cos what i knew.... Schiphol can be very windy. But what i know they built new run way. So they have a lot of runway, all because fast wind direction. Sorry to not clear English explanation
My dad was visiting Amsterdam when this happened, very tragic event. May the victims RIP
“No one survived”
Smithsonian: ‘Its brighter here’ 💃💃💃
R.I.P everyone who died😭
This type of videos give me fear of planes
The amount of people that suffered from the horrible effects of what the aircraft was carrying, an ingredient that is used for the manufacturing of the nerve gas Sarin...
And you know this..........how???
@@iainreid9822 I know this as a fact, I remember my dad telling me this. It's also on wikipedia.
@@woofvault it is also bullshit
@dontspikemydrink9382 several humans got sick for life after the crash, thanks to uranium which was in the cargo. There were men in white suits on location very fast. So bullshit? I dunno
Always tell your loved ones you love them, you never know when it will be your last day, or theirs
why side stick priority? I
thought that was only on airbus 0:59
Omg imagine if someone was looking out their windows Death so fast didn't feel a thing. Promise
I flew from Stuttgart, Germany to Amsterdam under a snow storm. I was praying that the flight will be cancel after we boarded the plane. It was not, and the plane took off. I saw those people deicing the wings and i was real scare. The plane landed in Armsterdam....no problem at all, but i will never step into a plane never again if snowing hard....listen to me you all out there. Nothing you can do after you are sitting in the plane.
True
That's what happened to the Air Florida flight 90 out of Washington DC in the 80s. Look that one up. I was nearby as I lived in Maryland but at home when news coverage broke into programming. Terrifying. Heavy snow and pilots familiar only with warm weather. Hung out too long after de-icing and the plane fell from the sky immediately after takeoff and hit the 14th Street bridge midday. Killed a few on the bridge along with all but 5 in the plane I believe. There was live coverage for hours on scene. It hurt to watch.
On the other side, air travel has gotten far safer since those days and we know much more. Planes fly day and night in winter weather and are very well educated in what to do. Airports are very astute and pilots have incredible training. Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to get on a snowy flight. I wouldn't miss that beauty. 💗
@@getmeouttatennessee4473Get, iam aware of that terrible accident. I was in Korea at that time. A friend of mine, Strickland was flying from Korea to Florida with stop in DC, i did swear he was in that flight...he was not.
you can still do prayers ....before any trip i watch maximum videos of this kind, next day I'm the first to board...get my seat, take 2 sleeping pills and ask hostess to wake me up after landing....
@@tubissimo2008mo, do you see all those airplane crashes in youtube....most people were praying, and only few survived. As for me, i have never been able to sleep during a flight. I flew for 17 hours awake. I want to see how is dying while flying....just a joke.
If El Al knows their true situation, they shouldn’t have deployed their flaps on final landing and risk on high speed at nearly 350km on their final approach. They did whenever they can could to keep their plan fly until they meet their fate. We must not forget to what happened to Al El Pilots. RIP To El Al Pilots of 1862.
One of the most painfull accident for those who left behind seeing there loved ones death and will feel that pain untill there life. God bless all.

I wonder how well does this channel makes such videos... looks like they catch incidents on camera live

Try The Flight Channel here on UA-cam.
His video recreations of infamous incidents are mind blowingly good.
Two of my friends were in Amsterdam at the time and had to fly home a couple of days later than they were going to because of this crash .I was worried about them when I heard about it but then realised it was a cargo plane. What an horrific thing to have happened.
Israel dieeeeeeeeeeeeee gshhska
My dad left there 30 minutes before the airplane crashed into the building and heared about it on the radio in the car and he did go back and found out that his 2 friends died then 😔
That animation and acting is much better than seconds from disaster
Pilot error. Captain reduced airspeed to below VMC by trying to fly a circular landing approach to loose 5,000 ft of altitude, when they were already heading directly back to Schiphol airport, should have made an unorthodox straight in approach, keeping high airspeed, no flaps and no slats landing, which would have kept the aircraft safely under control, modulated by pitch and gear down drag. Basic stick and rudder flying. It would have been a hard landing, brakes may have caught fire and tyres exploded, but no one would have lost their life. It would have helped the pilots to have had cameras to show engines 3 & 4 were no longer on the aircraft, and to show they had asymmetric flaps.
Correct me if the 747 no longer had working elevator and working ailerons due to hydraulic fluid loss? I believe hydraulic fluid loss only affected the starboard flaps and slats from being deployed.
The tragedy was so great, that it has been difficult, if not impossible, to mention that the aircraft was still capable of making a safe landing only if flown unorthodoxly.
The cameraman was able to walk away from the crash, unharmed.
It's animation 😑😑
@starguy2718 - Ohhhhh you are SO funny !! (Not!)
@@nightt6148 Bro, the pilots and people from headquarters are real but the clip of the plane 'crashing' is animation!!!!!

at 0:59, it says "SIDESTICK PRIORITY" but remember the fact that the 747 use yoke
These shows are not made for smart people.
I think they use one cockpit for their simulations. In some other episodes they have digital displays for older aircraft.

Wtf does 9/11 have to do with anything 😭
That’s an epic explosion that I have seen like movies and we honor the poor pilots
If you go to wikipedia, the official death count sits at 47 lost lives. However, those were the official registered people who died in the apartment complex. There were WAY more unregistered people living illegally in there. The estimated number of deaths lies closer to 200 - 250 people
May all of you Rest In Peace, and not know the pain and sorrow that your absence has left.
Air disasters just don't GET any worse than this.
That phenomenon of "failing hydraulics" is also something that happened with Nationair 2120, as I recall: it seems to factor into a lot of the worst crashes. It seems that finding some solution to, or backup for, that problem needs to be the next great revolution in aircraft technology.
I lived very close , i saw the plain crashing in to that flat. Big explosion , never forget the mushroom shaped fire .. sky colored orange cause the kerosene.. it was horrible
Really?
