Hearing the co-pilot radioing "Going down" as the plane is upside down, pitching downwards close to the ground is saddening. Usually you just hear desperate screams but he tried to remain calm and corageous to the very last moment, having slight hope for a rescue even though he must have known it was over. RIP.

@@reconforsales7708 bro that's sad and all. But that's completely irrelevant to the conversation.

A lot of people died of cancer and other sicknes due to the fire after the plane crashed.

I will never forget my classmate's story:
He had just brought his kid to grandpa and grandma in De Bijlmer. On his way home he heard the news on his car radio, and he raced back. There he saw grandpa and grandma's flat completely destroyed in a sea of flames, and he was convinced that he had lost everything. It later turned out that grandpa and grandma had decided to go to McDonald's with their grandchild. That decision saved their lives. He told me this story, and I still see his rollercoaster of emotions.
Oh waow!!
Must have been a roller coaster of emotions for him.
Heading to McDonald's every day for the rest of my life
@@hooksx yes, you will not die in the air crash unless with a plot twist it hits McDonald’s. you will, however, likely get diabetes, high cholesterol or other health issues from eating McDonald’s non-stop every day, but it will be much more gradual, and you will still enjoy life until your health turns to custard from excess McDonald’s ! LOL😂
I was flying back from Japan that night and remember flying over Amsterdam on the way back to Heathrow. Remember seeing a massive fire on the ground, thought it was a refinery fire or something. Only found out it was this accident when we landed back in the UK. Very sad. RIP to all of those that lost their lives
what year was it?

It's reading eyewitness accounts in the comments on so many of these films that make them so real for me. I have a few stories like yours and I'm dreading the day I post my own eyewitness account on this channel. That said, this channel is becoming an amazing aviation safety resource.
Wonder if they could have landed if not having to be circle.
They remained dedicated professionals right to the bitter end. Their legacy follows them. They did their absolute best with what they had to work with. RIP
So awful :(
okay but they shouldn't have smashed it into an apartment building. Why no info on the number of non-flight crew deaths.
@@joeskis it's mentioned in the dedication TFC always put at the end of the video. 39 people on the ground lost their lives. That is the official count of the casualties of the building residents.
@@joeskis The aircraft become uncontrollable. The pilots did not have a choice where it was going to crash.
@@joeskis they lost all control and the plane stalled. They didn't intentionally crash it in the buildings
The moment you hear going down, going down and the Ground dispatcher with fear in her voice says It's over is heart breaking. Nothing they could do other than do their best. So sad.
She could see the explosion lit the sky from her desk in the tower... :((
There are also recordings of the Police scanner. They start with some chatter about a stolen car in a carpark. Then you hear the engine noise in the background. Next transmissions arr people trying to get a handle on things and locate the accident site.... Bone chilling.

@@VinDieselS70 if you are interested; Radioverkeer politie net voor de Bijlmerramp All in Dutch ofcourse.
Despite intensive search activities to recover the cockpit voice recorder from the wreckage area, it was never found. ... There was no audio recorder.
The captain’s ‘awh’ is so heartbreaking to hear 💔💔
While trying to aviate 🙏
Dont forget these guys were millitary pilots and knew they had a plane full of military equipment for Israël nerv gas etc to kill people. They now said they are not giving any info untill 2060's meaning that in the time something comes out it all the people om high level who have to do something with it are going to be dead already.
He knew it was the end and is trying hard not to completely lose it because you are trained to always stay calm and command the aircraft no matter how losing the fight may be.
I lulled
Awful
I remember this crash. It’s just sad. The person who was sitting in the jump seat. Was on their way home to get married. The pilots remained so calm even when they knew these were their final moments.
So heartbreaking:(
tears just shooting up my eyesm holy ..... cannot imagine what all of them must have gone through , ...
I am so aware of the actual accident. My cousin lived in that apartment complex luckyly in another part. I have to give the Flight Channel a lot of credit for the realistic work they do.

@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 Thank you for your advise. However i strongly believe islam is the religion that leads me to heaven. Allah states in the quran: "The only religion accepted in the sight of allah is the Islam." And as muslim i pray the same way as jesus did in his time. Ramadan is coming, if you repent. You will be actually a better muslim then a muslim, because all your sins will convert to good deeds. Hopefully this will lead you towards good on the day of judgement. Your book including your deeds given in your right hand. If this is the case on the day of judgment you will enter paradise. If you receive your book in your left hand, then you will be brought into hell, but Allah is allforgiven to his servants, repent and secure your place in Paradise.
@Mahmoud Ghalb The blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the only sacrifice for sin! Bible says he is the gate keeper!! No one gets to the father except through him!! Bible says good deeds can't do it!! He is final sacrifice!! As him into your heart and to show you he's real!! ❤
@@rwryder1 Hey, this is not a church! If you want to preach become a Preacher and preach in church!
How bad was the damage to the apartment complex.?Hope it wasn't too bad, but it had to be awful. RIP everybody.
To remain in control of one’s emotions in a situation like that is to be commended and admired. I can’t begin to imagine, especially being so close to the airport.
I can't believe how calm and cool the pilot was as a plane was going down may they all rest in peace
almost all pilots are like that, it's just the nature of the job.. plus the commercial ones have 100s of hours in simulators training for all kinds of problems.
43 people died as a result of this crash. It must’ve been horrific. RIP to all the lost lives
The 747 is capable of flying with 2 engines, but wing damage is bad for any airplane. RIP to the souls lost. Great animation and illustration as always.
Correct. I'm wondering if circumstances were slightly different what would have happened. I.e, if they weren't a cargo plane and it wasn't the night-time, could passengers or crew see the damage/loss of both engines? Then the pilots could know about the abilities of the plane. What if they then, instead of trying to loose speed/altitude and circle back to 09/27 at Schiphol, gained altitude, dumped fuel over the sea and then had a smoother approach to Hamburg?
@@mikexkennedy Or if they simply had camera's or something facing the wing. They would have seen that the flaps weren't extending properly on the right side and then they could have maybe gone for a no flap landing.
@Theactualgamer1 it later determined that even if they would land without flaps, 220knots trying to land 747 is fatal. Maybe even to the airport itself. The moment they took off, this flight was doomed.
All of these crashes are heartbreaking to me but ones like this hit extra hard. These pilots were so brave and fought so hard until the very end but were dealt a lousy hand that they just couldn't win!
I agree, this one really had me in tears. It's chilling to listen to. I cannot fathom the terror they must have felt when they realized they were going to crash.
These crashes are so saddening. It’s such a horrifying way to die. I always feel bad for the pilots and passengers. Even when pilots make mistakes their destiny still should not have been the same.
😢😢😢😢
I would emergeny decend and glide right on the runway that is right in front of me, not doing any monkey business with circling around and stuff.
Also if your wings are damaged you go down with little flaps and higher speed to stabilize the plane.
Just so heartbreaking they fought so hard to land a crippled aircraft that would become uncontrollable as it slowed for landing. The pilot bravely transmitting they were going down at a time the situation was hopeless and death was imminent is one of the most courageous things I've ever heard. This video is chilling. I know this accident well and I've heard the coms and I've seen recreations before but this is so riveting. You can feel yourself rooting for them despite knowing all of their efforts were futile. A special RIP to the dozens killed in the apartment complex. A terrible tragedy all around.
If you ever been a passenger in a car in which you can see the accident coming (I have) the WORST feeling is to watch someone else driving and having no capability to take hold of your own fate. I DO NOT mean to say the pilot wasn't doing everything possible, perfectly and soon, its just the loss of control, knowing you're facing certain death,its just terrible. Obviously, I survived the wreck. But I made up my mind waaaay back then (1970s) that if all possible, I will be in control of my own destiny and never hand it over to someone else (even though the outcome might be exactly the same). Yes, I've missed out on traveling around the world, visiting far away lands, but bad accidents have consequences, this one was mine. I feel for those who had to sit there helpless and of course, from a different perspective, feel terrible for the pilot who had all those lives in his hands. Imagine knowing the story about the one young lady on board was heading to get married, her fate (and the grooms) in your hands ? No, thats not to say everyones lives there who died lives weren't just as precious, I'm just sharing some thoughts after watching this heart breaking video. RIP all ....
Yes! I kept thinking "well, maybe they'll make it", then you look at the title of this video, and your heart sinks!!
Every time I watch one of these videos the second or third time I find myself hoping that maybe they'll make it this time. Crazy. I know.
There was no plane. even this video and all the silly religious comments under this video are part of the cover up. this false flag bombing is notorious for many people in Europe.
@@flynnlizzy5469 I get what you mean. After finding myself in a similar situation, although that ended up being nothing in the end, when something like that happens all you can do is putting your life in the hands of the pilots.. It's an awful feeling indeed.
I remember it well, the first big plane crash that happened in my country. Still can remember watching the extra new bulletins on TV that evening. Very well done TFC.
@@powermetal26 Four people (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Al_Flight_1862)
That person saying "It's over" just got me.
I feel bad for the pilots they really tried hard to get the plane on the ground but they fought to the the very end. I salute the pilots.
This crash was unbelievably unlucky the chances of the 3rd engine hitting the 4th engine when it came off was just ridiculous
it was inevitable for no.3 to hit no.4
@@poliwentpoli it wasn't inevitable, it happened due to fatigue cracks, in case of an overload, the pylons were designed to drop the engine cleanly, without damage to anything else.
@@poliwentpoli depended on which angle the engine fell off
Bad flaw...it should never have hit the #4 engine or the flaps
@@theracingguy4739 it was designed to break away downward...not sideways so it could do more damage
I' have tears in my eyes, watching this video, it feels so real. On that 4th of Oktober I saw the plane going down, around 40 people lost their lives in their homes. Schiphol is a complex and busy airport in one of the most highly densely populated area's in the world....
So sad R.I.P
The loss of life was probably higher. Some people living in this apartment flat weren't registered and some bodies were never found because of the intense fires.
This is still a very painful scar for a lot of people and communities in Amsterdam and beyond.
Witnessing thay in real life would be an awe
Still can’t imagine how it feels to be pulverized by a 747 slamming into your apartment.
Usually critical of piloting skills but in this case I'm genuinely impressed with their skill & professionalism. They really did their very best to the very end.
And I'm sure you're super qualified to be so critical...
Went out like a boss! R.I.P. to all. So calm and professional given horrible odds.
like a badass boss ? are you a toilet trader sir ? do you like cottaging ? i find it very rewarding my brother in law is the undisputed urinal watcher he never takes it any further he got the habit at harrow public school way back in the 1980s remember badass bum boys forever you f------ g cock womble 🎀🎀🎀😍😘😗😙😚😎

Went out like a boss? Yuck. No one cares about being a “boss” what are you twelve years old?
I know someone who lived in the apartment block that the aircraft hit. Luckily he was at work that evening. RIP to all those who lost their lives.
How many on the ground lost their lives ? Shouldn't they also be remembered ? This video only gives acknowledgement to the crew.
Just curious if you know of an approximate date this happened?
@@christyluvs80sXo It shows at the beginning. 4th October 1992.
@@WG-tt6hk 39 ground fatalities. 26 seriously injured.
@@glenpierce777 Sorry I missed that part lol Thanks for the reply
WOW That pilot calm and professional right to the end.
yea, israelis are used to killing innocent people lol
Wow the flight engineer had 3 entire years of his life spent in an aircraft. 26000 hours that's incredible
This is a very good video, delicately balancing the tragedy of the crash with respect for those losing their lives. Touching and empathetic.
This one gut wrenching. I have flown the 747-400 and when you said they didn't know that the engines were gone, my eyes were immediately drawn to the engine instruments. It took me a second to remember that the -200 had all analog gauges and the lack of data would not necessarily indicate the absence of an engine. On the -400, a physical engine separation would be indicated by, if I recall correctly, red Xes on the display.
PSX from aerowinx , fantastic 747 simulator a bit expensive though
@@kino57and how would they approach the landing attempt if they knew they were missing both engines and had damaged flaps, do you know?
Would they have to land in an airport located in a straight line? Or try to use a lake or an open field?
That was heartbreaking. How they managed to keep they're composure is mindboggling.
they thought they had it....didn't realize the severity of the damages. And yes, even when they realized it was way worse, it was only seconds until their demise.
What can you do. Just remain calm and let fate decide, either way. Screaming will not fix anything. Sad. Very Sad. The last few seconds was an affirmation of how steady and grounded they were as professionals.
They have too ..otherwise it will panic the passengers ..be havoc

@@angelamary9493there were no passengers
God bless them and their families. No matter how long ago, these pilots should be remembered.
The way he said going down so calmly.. he knew it was the end they did everything they could 🫤 may they all rest in peace ❤️🩹
As a Dutchman, I can still remember this as if it happened only yesterday..
So sorry...schrecklich! 💔
Ik was toen pas 7 jaar oud, maar ik kan me de beelden op TV nog herrineren.. verschrikkelijk
The pilots showed utmost dedication and professionalism.
Thank you @TheFlightChannel for an excellent video. Your videos give me confidence that they can avoid any more accidents with the same problems/mistakes.
RIP brave souls.
its insane that so many of these accidents could of been avoided if the pilots had cameras all over the exterior so they can check the condition of the plane
Yep, I comnented almost same thing! I can buy cheap, chinese wireless camera, which sized like a bottle cap, 1 inch! And working within range of 100 meters! Not needed big power, just a micro-propellor, like RAT turbines have. Glued individually to the surface, not touching the wires at all!
And connected into a wi-fi (closed, hidden) hotspot, can be view from the pilot's tablet.
I think the end-user price as 9 USD (calculated) is going down, when all aircrafts being fitted with such toys!
An aerodynamic shaped cover, little turbine, cca. 1 watt output power (5 V, 0.2 A) is sized 2 inches, and with self-adhesive tapes, can be mounted literally everywhere.
most newer wide bodies have them now.
Following the Swissair 111 crash cameras were installed inside the body of the planes so that pilots could see in case a fire is developing.
That's why A380 have so many cameras to avoid things like this
It really is unbelievable. So many times, they have no idea what is actually wrong with the plane. Even crashes with passengers and flight attendants it has happened many times. The concept of it is just so crazy, when you are flying an aircraft...to have any situation where you aren't at all aware to the actual condition of the plane at all times and if damage occurs...is such a mind blowing thing.
I remember this accident as a child. It was something unforgettable. If the pilots would know the damage in the wing, they could try an emergency landing with high speed without lowering flaps.
I was going to say. Also, rudder. It doesn't mention rudder. 😳😢 Also, gliding. Planes have glided to a landing. So shut the engines off?
thing is, any landing they attempt would be a flap up landing with no reverse thrust, limited hydraulics (possibly limited autobrakes) and close to max takeoff weight. it would take a small miracle for the plane to stop on the runway and not overrun it.
Please, those aircraft with such load is not gliding!
Two engine not able to maintain speed, without engine that monstruous plane just fall, not glides.
Is a 330 tons of things in the air! A flying truck convoy!
But, not lowering the flaps is may prevented them from rolling over due wing damage.
Why even today, with a billion dollar shit, they not have little wireless cameras fitted in sensitive areas?
@@unflexian, that's another thing. Maybe a grass landing, or roll off the runway onto the grass? Anything other than what happened.
@@szennyvizcsatorna2483, well you don't call it gliding. You calculate the fall in the right direction.
This disaster is called de bijlmer ramp in Holland. I was living in Friesland and watching tv when it happend. There was an extra news bulletin about it on television. I was 13 years old.
Even though I'm familiar with this horrible accident I was still on the edge of my seat watching this. Good video.
As was I... Simply glued to the screen...
This specific show has the BEST animation of any I've seen on the Flight Channel . Absolutely incredible production of this show! I felt as if I were part of it, on the edge of my seat, praying a miracle would happen for them! 🥺 But it was not to be. Two apartment buildings were destroyed along with the aircraft, so I wonder how many souls perished? 🤔
Thank you for your dedication of producing such excellent quality films and sharing it with your faithful followers! 🤗
The crash of El Al flight 1862 took 3 BRAVE Crew Members, 1 Passenger, and 39 People in the apartments on the ground for a total of 43.
R.I.P EL AL 1862 AND ALL THAT PERISHED...✈️🫶🙏🌹
@@wikkidfury Thanks for the update on the souls that perished!! 😔 Sooo ...very sad.
Oh good heavens, this one to me was particularly heartbreaking. I am amazed at how stoic the Pilot was, knowing they were going down.
RIP to all the souls who perished that night.😭
It's a weird coincidence that I just visited the memorial site this morning, and you uploaded the exact crash R.I.P to all the victims. The pilots are heroes.
This channel is reaching a level where these films should be shown during industry training. They're on par with any military accident analysis I've ever received in 16 years of military flight training.
they are incredible. Better than any of the professional television shows, like Air Disasters. It's next level.
Amazing video with such detail as always and just so sad people lost their lives.
Until the last seconds, the flight crew was working hard trying to control and land the plane. The 23 year old El Al employee on the jump seat, was witnessing her death unfolding. She couldn't do anything and she stayed silent (CVR). One cannot imagine what she went through.
At least she was an Israeli
🤔
@@Richest_Person_in_the_Worldwhat you mean by "at least"?
@@Richest_Person_in_the_World 💀☠
Impressive videos, but a 2-second blurb at the last moment for the deceased seems disrespectful.
That "AHW" is so chilling😔
One minute you're sitting happily in your apartment, feet up watching tv, the next ....
"Lost the engines" is quite literal here.
I have a lovely friend who was involved in the rescue on the ground, If the pilots had seen the damage to the leading edge of the wing they would have never extended the slats, maybe not possible for cameras in 93…They would have still been faced (no slats & partial flaps) with landing over speed with a tailwind and possibly overweight too, with two thrust reversers out, I doubt the runway would have been long enough… RIP you fine men, fought a battle that was impossible to win. 😢
In that situation I'd have been tempted to head out to sea and ditch rather than circle the city... even if there was no hope of survival for the flight crew, at least the massive death toll on the ground could have been avoided. But then, they had no way of knowing that a landing was impossible - after all, a Jumbo is designed to fly with 2 engines out.
@@rich_edwards79 I also think that if they were fully aware of the state of the airplane, they would have ditched it in the sea. Once you realize you cannot fully control the airplane you do not fly it in circles over Amsterdam.
i wonder why didnt they send someone to the cabin to get a better view
@@jacek2227 also the fact that this flight had military equipment (depleated Uranium) in it (loaded in Washington --> New York --> Amsterdam), the pilot wouldn't ditch it into the sea. 6 hours after the disaster some guys in white came and walked literally over the wreckage in search for something, until this day we still don't know who they are. Black box has never been found. The pilot (Israeli) also had contact with Tel Aviv before it crashed. The full story of this flight will never be told, one under the rug.
I remember watching a documentary about this very specific crash (I believe it was Discovery Channel) and how it affected the tenants in those apartment buildings. They interviewed one parent and they told the story on how they sent their kids upstairs to get their hair done, and when the plane crashed it impacted near that apartment the kids were in. I believe they came out alive. Either way, some of those stories are absolutely numbing. Rest in peace to the people who fell victim to this
I think there should be some kind of digital safety camera to look after both the wing and engine area but no one implementing (maybe) 🤔
Long aircraft like 777-300s, a380s, 747-8s, a340-5/600s and a few other planes have taxi cams which also enables the pilots to see the outside of the aircraft. However, what you describe has not (yet) been implemented I think
Here's a thought... maybe walk your dumb ass back to the wing and look out the window. We are born with 2 cameras in our heads.
@@DST.73 yes i meant for for nowadays aircrafts
@@babyj4154 My understanding is that the new F35 Joint Strike Fighter provides a 360 degree view of the aircraft to the pilot. I don't understand that modern automobiles can provide such visibility but not modern commercial aircraft?
Landing gear too, as warning sensors can fail, give false readings or simply not tell the whole story.
How do you remain even a little calm while saying "we're going down"?
I remember seeing a transcript of the 2009 Colgan crash near Buffalo. The captain says, “We’re down.” The first officer says “We’re” and screams.
PRAYER 🙏
it depends on how you lived your life
They tried so hard...it was very upsetting to hear the last words of the pilots...what a terrible accident
How horrific not only for the pilots but also the folks in the apartments below that were all incinerated. Rest in peace to all.
And what about the passengers on the plane?
@@alisonflaxman1566 Indeed they perish in most all these videos and were acknowledged. What is different here is the tremendous amount of life lost by others not directly associated with this aircraft's journey until impact. I will repeat rest in peace to all. What a horrible tragedy.
@@alisonflaxman1566 It was a cargo plane, apart from the cockpit crew there was only one passenger on board. That passenger was seated in the cockpit as well. There were only 4 people on board of the plane.
This is possibly the very best TheFlightChannel video ever - superb graphics and explanatory charts along with the actual recorded communications. Thank you, TFC!
Regarding aircraft-control tower communications protocol: Why are distances given in miles and feet, instead of kilometers and meters? As far as I know, both the Netherlands and Israel utilize the metric system.
In aviation, when spoken as "miles" it's really an abbreviation for "nautical miles (nm)" and is about 1.15 regular miles. This unit is used across the world except for a few regions that use metres (eg. China, Russia, NK mostly).
@@alextaviate Thank you! I'm guessing that the use of the nautical mile (1 arc-minute of longitude at the Earth's equator) for certain transportation systems is a holdover from its use on sailing ships. Even NASA uses (or used) it during rocket launches. I did not realize it was also employed nearly world-wide for aircraft.
What an impossible situation for that crew. Horrendous accident. RIP to the crew and all those who perished on the ground 🙏
Anyone else apart from me willing the crew to keep going as they were so close. So near its brutal. R.I.P Gentlemen, you did yourselves proud 😢😢
These simulations are incredible. I live 5 miles from where TWA 514 crashed into the Blue Ridge Mountains in 1974. Subsequently, this event mandated ground proximity AND concrete communication terminology in all commercial aircraft. Any chance to see you guys tackle this event? Great job in all of these btw. Truly enlightening, sad and scientific. The pilots are stone cold serious in this particular episode. What dignity in the face of eminent death...
Is it near Shenandoah River?

I remember watching this on Air Crash Investigation. Absolutely horrifying. Great vid, as usual.
I'm still rooting for them all the way until the end - even then - I'm still cracking my brain to find a way out of this dilemma. Voices calm - professional to the end, knowing it's the end. G*d damn
In modern training we now train how to deal with similar out-of-the-norm scenarios. Instead of landing asap, you would nowadays establish what you have left (in their case: they could have made a visual check on the engines from the cabin), test out configuration (in their case: if extending flaps/slats causes controllability issues you bring them back in). Interestingly the 747 was flying stable even on 2 engines initially. They immediately jumped into an unstable approach and didn't have the capacity to deal with the extraordinary technical challenges. Not judging the poor crew, just showing how training is different today.
@@philiprosner2750 Thank you...das beruhigt ❣
@@philiprosner2750 Makes perfect sense to do it now this way. As you mention, they were able to fly with just 2 engines as the plane is designed. They had plenty of time to fly over the ocean and perform landing simulations.
Same whenever I watch these I'm like I hope they make it although I know it crashed, I know it sounds weird
Ex israeli air force pilots
One of the rare cases, where almost 10 times more people died on ground than in the plane ✈️. The crew did everything they got but unfortunately that was still not enough 😢. And the people in the building where just living in this house in the evening like everyone and then a fifth of the building is just gone with the people in it🥶.
This incident makes a good case for small rear view cameras to physically monitor airframe and power plant.

I'm amazed at how in control of their emotions these pilots are knowing they are going to be dead in seconds. My hat is off to all of them.
Thanks TFC for re-creating this event! I remember watching a long documentary on TV about this!
I saw this crash on the Smithsonian feed and the apartment complex was another huge catastrophe and loss of life. It was heartbreaking. RIP all who perished.
Seriously these breakdowns are getting better and better...the real audio makes it like your their in the cockpit experiencing it for yourself. Very sad video tho...really got the feeling they were gonna make it until those flaps extended....they just could've never known the full extent of how bad the damage was otherwise I'm sure they could've found a way down all be it way too fast.
RIP TO EVERYONE WHO DIED, MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON THERE SOLES.🙏🙏❤🙏🙏 EVERY TIME A Pilot gets into the cockpit he puts his and his passengers life on the line. GOD BLESS THEM ALL.

WoW! Only four on board, but 39 died in the apartment building, many more injured. Such a sad tragedy! They tried so hard, but never stood a chance. Shocking and saddening!! Thank you for another great presentation.
Such well made videos. Thanks ✈️
Excellent analysis. God rest their souls.
This incident has always left me feeling heartbroken. Amazing that the aircraft lasted so long in the air. Great upload 👏😭💕
Professional crew to the very end. Beautiful screens, clear audio, good graphics, pilots' angle of view from the cockpit very interesting.
This is so heartbreaking. The moment that first engine went, it was over. There was no possiblity of a positive outcome. The pilots showed not only great courage in the face of unthinkable circumstances, but superior airmanship to stay in it as long as they did. They were professional and brave until their final breath. May they test in peace.
Under the right circumstances you can definitely land a plane with a broken engine. Gets a lot harder with damages wings though
What's sadder than hearing people died in a crash? Hearing the final voices of suffering of the victims.
I remember when this happening watching on news back in Nigeria. So sad for both flight crew and people in building
I well remember this accident. So sad for the crew and the victims on the ground. RIP.
These pilots were so damn unlucky. Not understanding the damage to the aircraft really gave them very little chance at such a low altitude. Even if they had a complete understanding of the damage they would have had to perform a very dangerous landing at high speed with zero flaps
I wonder, if they had attempted a belly water landing even at a high speed that might have worked?
@@paulrelgne2149 I don't believe that they had enough control to successfully pull off a belly landing over water. They lacked sufficient control to even avoid hitting an apartment complex. I am not aware of any similar El Al crashes.
@@carlramirez6339 they had already dumped fuel. That wasn't the problem, the problem was the damage to the aircraft meant that once the speed dropped below a certain level the plane was not controllable with an uneven flap situation. If they were at a much higher altitude it would possibly give them more opportunity to test and troubleshoot the controls. But with information they had available they were under pressure to land. It really was a horrible situation they were in
One thing i find a bit wierd, why dont airplanes have like 2-3 cameras around the plane so the pilots can see whats going on outside if needed, like they have the tail camera to show passengers the front view, so why not rear view cameras for the pilots and a 7inch screen in the cabin.
I don’t think seeing 2 engines missing off the wing in a television would’ve helped the situation at all. pilots are trained to solve problems not observe them.
@@TheGargoyle That information could allow the pilots to better control the aircraft.
If they had of understood the severity of the damage, it would've been clear they needed to keep a much higher speed then normal if they were to have any chance to land
Yes. No sensor for total engine separation existed. This would suggest a camera aimed at engines is a feasible & relatively inexpensive solution. They well may have been able to make the necessary configuration changes & flight control input adjustments to save the flight -

then they would have overshot the runway by far. bringing a 747 down at above 260 knots is impossible, all tyres would explode immediately from overspeed.
@@TheColinChapman It's better than crashing nose down on a building.
@@idyllsend6481 I agree, but that wasn‘t visible to the pilots.
43 fatalities, 39 on the ground
Those where really good pilots. It just got too much. RIP Heroes.
This one saddened me more than most ...Excellent production, as always
When the plane rolled over my life flashed before my eyes. Terrifying
wimp
Kudos to the pilots for almost making it despite the circumstances and being calm despite knowing it was the end.
RIP to all 4 people on the plane and all the victims on the ground.
UGH!! I look forward to your videos! I love this channel! I cannot stand when a channel shows us part of the climax BEFORE the video starts!!
Here is a tip for you. If the names of the flight deck are provided usually the outcome is a crash.
@@deepthinker999 I know. Most of the videos involve a crash. I don't want to hear what they are exclaiming when they are crashing... before the video starts. I want it all to come to an exciting conclusion. Just sayin
There is a memorial park exactly where the aircraft went down in the Nellensteinpad complex today. They never rebuilt the apartments, but instead have a open park with the memorial in it with all the names of the deceased in plaques.

I shed a tear. What a sad ending!! Rest in peace, y'all are heroes
Nothing but heartache and life long grief for the families who lost their precious loved ones.
I love how this videos are very informative and actually respect and honor those involved. RIP to those professionals who sadly lost their lives
I was 13 when this happened, in my second year at high school, living with my family close to Schiphol airport and watching TV on a Sunday evening. My auntie from the UK rang us, it seemed it was in fact covered on UK news slightly before Dutch TV channels even. It was pretty awful and initially people feared hundreds of deaths. I remember we talked about it in school classes the next day. Our German language teacher said that it was a shame the plane didn't go down a bit further in a park, obviously not knowing at all what the hell was happening on board like we do now.
If they knew the engines have fallen off and the circumstances on the flaps, I won't be surprised if this crew would be able to actually land the plane. It's amazing enough that they can keep the plane flying relatively level for that long.
Yeah, I think that had they known that the aircraft had sustained such a level of damage as to make a safe approach and landing impossible, they'd have headed out to sea and ditched in order to avoid mass casualties on the ground. Like many otjer commenters, I am surprised that in 2023 the flight crew still have no way of inspecting the aircraft for physical damage beyond observations made through a window.
I remember this event😢I was visiting a friend in England when this happened. My aunt and cousins lived in those apartments but luckily not the ones that got hit. I remembered trying to call and no one would answer...it was total chaos... people jumping to their deaths..others literally incinerated...the pilots gave it their all...may they all rest in peace...it was a sad day for the Netherlands
I remember when that happened God blesses their families may they have peace
Appears they went down never knowing the full reason why. I don't know if modern jets have cameras around the jet to see critical components but if not, they should. Probably wouldn't have helped much in this case, though.
Damn I remember the Bijlmer disaster vividly. It was all over the news... even years after there was something about it.
The courage of the FO whilst saying ‘going down’ is incredible.
