"We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped."
Understatement of the century.
Definitely a major understatement. I'm glad I never experienced that.
It is stereo-typically British to avoid being overly dramatic. Even when being dramatic is warranted.
They still got wings. Birds don’t need engines.
birds aren't tens to hundreds of tons@@kevin6293
“We've lost engine one... and engine two is no longer on fire.”
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking, we have a small problem, all four engines have stopped. We are doing our damndest to get it under control, I trust you're not in too much distress"
British understatement at its finest.
Spoken like a true badass. For anyone who says pilots don't deserve their pay I say bull crap. Takes a special person....even the crew members playing it down. Nerves of steel.
"I trust you're not in too much distress" = "Listen to the first sentence and prioritize your distress accordingly." It's the most British thing I've ever heard.
What ever.
Just a minor issue
When flight crew tells you there’s nothing to worry bout, there’s a 50% chance there is a reason to worry.
These airplane documentaries are better made than a lot of movies in the theater these days.
So true
Ikr. Lol. Better than Hollywood
True.
Great seeing these true flight disaster documentaries. Better than what you are seeing in movies with all the cgi and ai garbage.
The ones on other channels can't hold a candle to these. The narration is superb.
Flying blind and a perfect landing after weighing your life and the souls on your plane is an awful lot for a captain. He and the crew deserve every reward given.
Amazing recovery. What away to learn new things.
The fact that an ILS approach was down makes it so much of a miracle and skill. Had they not had that strip of windscreen this could have ended a whole lot differently.
I love that the Captain started a club, and, to this day, the passengers and crew keep in touch. Lovely! And the Rolls Royce dude was spot-on about the incredible airmanship of the crew, indeed!
The same happened with american airlines 1549. I think they are still meeting up at the museum where the plane is held every year.
This is the best sort of Mayday episode. The crew bears no responsibility for the problem that arises from an unforeseen act of god, they act incredibly professionally the whole time, the flight lands with no fatalities or injuries, and a whole new set of safety protocols is developed as a result to prevent such an accident in the future.
God saved all of them, nature is rough but the power of God can make anything that seems to be impossible for God is possible. Those pilots intelligence and quick action were guided by God.
God isn't real, and had nothing to do with it. The crew deserves all the praise in the world, not some imaginary figure. What happened was perfectly natural, and had a logical explanation.
Agreed!
@@lando26ful I guess god just hated all the people who died in the other episodes, then?
@@kathrynhoward4196, God is alive and real! We are in the end of time (Daniel 7). I hope you don't regret your words.
R.I.P Captain Eric Moody. One of the finest and bravest pilots to ever fly.
Adds a new dimension to "Keep calm and carry on"
Nonsense!😂
Hallelujah! Those pilots deserved commendations. They remained calm and professional and never gave up. God Bless them all!
That’s all part of your training.
That’s all part of your training.
This story was amazing. The fact that all passengers and crew all keep in touch till this day is amazing. I’m happy they all made it out safe and now they know what to look out for in case this situation happens again.
this was always one of my favorite episodes... just imagine the feeling of the passengers , when they actually landed intact ... i would have been kissing the earth... the pilots are luckily top notch aviators that deserve as much respect as you can give IMO. that is a crew that i would want to pilot my plane. this crew has experience that most pilots will never ever have , and that is managing an emergency. this is almost as bad as it can get , so to make it through this ? you can probably make it through almost anything
They thought the met their maker.
Wow!! To be a pilot you either have "The Right Stuff" or you don't. The crew and passengers are all heroes in my book.
Don’t they still get the passengers quickly off the plane, after such a harrowing emergency?
Exactly right. You either have "The Right Stuff" or you don't. Unlike some of the pilots in these videos, this Captain made all the right moves and kept his emotions under control. That is why a computer can never replace a quality human pilot. 🌵🌵🌵
to be honest, you never know whether you have the "right stuff" or not until your put in that situation yourself
I flew as a stewardess during the so-called "glory days of flying". Well, we have WW2 Veteran pilots who really knew how to fly planes and they thought they could do anything and we thought they could also as they always did.
Capt Moody making that Gliding club. What an amazing man
I think that had to help everyone cope with the aftermath.
Loved this crew’s professionalism, absolute poise and sheer determination in that nightmare situation.
Did you not watch until the end? This is the first time volcanic ash had seriously impacted a plane. They landed their plane without loss of life in a situation no one had ever been in before or prepared for.
If that’s not impressive to you I question your standards and grasp on reality.
@@aquiavel5091 exactly! And this was a good news show for once in a library of crashes and sorrow!
@jeffhook4537 too bad you weren't there to save everyone. I'm sure you would have jumped out the airplane like superman and carried the vessel down to safety, then done a handstand for everyone's entertainment and performed "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons on the landing strip in a spectacular lightshow.
🙄
@jeffhook4537 Wow, you're a daft troll. Lol Or a complete fool. But fir sure a big, big tough man.
@Jeff Hook TROLL...
I can't even imagine being on this flight. The flight crew are heroes.
They are good!
This is one of my favorite episodes.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking..we've seem to overcome that problem and managed to start all the engines.
I can only imagine the awsome joy they must've felt at that moment.
Bless all that were on this flight. Enjoy your life. TW 3:07
You want Cap’n Moody in the cockpit at times like this.
He’s the real deal 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
One of the best Maydays I've seen!! My grandson and I watch a lot of these! Thrilling ride..thankfully.. safe landing!
I'm not sure if your grandson should watch these. He might get a fear of flying. 😮
@@daylehudson6810 no chance..we strategize about what ifs. Better mentally prepared then caught thinking it'll never happen. We don't live in fear that way.
@@cherimolina2121 Look up the "Gimli Glider", you're going to love it!
@@daylehudson6810You're assuming the grandson is a child....it could be someone much older.
@@cherimolina2121 Actually, since I've seen a lot about air crashes from 3 different sources, I am now afraid to fly anywhere. It's scary to watch re-enactments of a crash. They are sometimes caused by pilots and first officers, mechanics, an unknown problem with a plane, birds taking a plane down, poor decisions by a pilot, inclement weather, etc. When you see the re-enactments of a crash, people who have died from crashes, etc., you realize that a huge
plane shouldn't really be flying in the sky. If one litte thing haI've always wanted to see Ppl
The mother and daughter actresses did a very convincing portrayal of the incident.
This is my favorite story out of all the (many, many) air disaster documentaries I have watched. What a special crew, and interesting retelling from the passengers.
You bastards all of them is great you would not be saying that if you was on one of them
Yes. Love this one. 😢😮😅
One of the best, for sure.
mine too!
My favorite is the "Gimli Glider" , look it up, real good one
Crying my eyes out. I hope all my flights are with such extraordinary pilots.
What an amazing captain and an amazing crew! Those poor frightened souls have been through the scare of their lifetimes.
immensely frightening.
skilled, professional pilots.
wonderful to have a club where the survivors have reunions.
The best and happiest episode of all I’ve seen so far. And I’ve seen dozens of them both on Discovery and National Geographic. This Captain is a legend, I did not know he founded a club for all the crew and passengers of BA009. How cool!
Have you heard of the Gimli Glider? Or maybe the Miracle On The Hudson?
@@AWizardAndaMouse3432 of course! But in both cases they had multiple injured passengers, also BA009 carried almost twice as many passengers as Capt. Sullenberger’s plane and if it ended with a crash there would have been way more casualties that this crew luckily managed to prevent
And to be clear- I am not saying that those two crews were not heros. I just made the point that this story had the happiest outcome under those circumstances. The best story I’ve personally seen in those documentaries
@@Tim_OSK point made, Point made
@@Tim_OSK but 009 didn’t have any injuries.
It was so happy and joyous when their engines re-started. I could almost cry and felt like I was right in that moment with them all.
You and me both 😂.
Same. Made me so happy that the engines came back on. I bet everyone on board felt the exact same.
Except 2 was on fire or something
@@brennathecatlover4360 2 was shut down again because it was Surging. I don’t even know what surging means or is.
@@AWizardAndaMouse3432 I think it caught on fire lol
This is my favorite episode. They should make this onto a movie.
Agreed.
@TheOneEyedWitchandAMouse3432 it would be so good. Who would play the captain??? Anthony Hopkins yeaaa
It’s already aired on TV
A bunch of episodes, including ones that aren’t available for free on UA-cam, air on The Weather Channel.
Wow this is a terrific story. Exceptional combination of life threatening, thrilling edge of your seat, happy ending AND best of all, true.
Wow ,,, and I thought Captain Sully Sulingsberg was a hero.... The crew on this flight are True Heros
Both heroic in their own right…these pilots only had to get out of the ash cloud and land NORMALLY with a sandblasted windshield. Their passengers were safe. Sully actually SAVED passengers with his skill landing in a river. He’s the “true hero” between the two
Kudos to the crew for not giving up. What an amazing story. Very well produced.
Talk about a WOW story?!?!? That was just amazing. Hats off to the whole flight crew for a job VERY well done.
R.I.P. Captain Moody. Thank you for saving lives.
I love how delightfully British everyone is in this episode. Stoic, polite understatements abound, both in the actors' script as well as in the interviews with actual crew/passengers. Brilliant! (Also...I cannot begin to fathom how terrifying this must have been. NOPE.)
If this flight was American, we passengers would have made it into a major comedy movie with Leslie Neilsen
Totally agree! They took stay calm and carry on to a new level.
@@deafmusician2 You did already!!!
@@DeirdreMcNamara oh yeah! Lol!. Re-enacted I guess I should have said
I love how delightfully Sumali, Afghan, Gypsy and Northern Irish everyone is in this episode. Stoic, polite understatement abound both in the actors' script as well as I n the interviews.
This crew saved everyone..wow..
This is one of those stories and documentaries that never get old because it's told in such a fascinating way, involves phenomena so alien to humans that only few will ever see, and has a particular resolution that seems like the crew and passenger will only ever be able experience that no one else will.
HBO
This had me on the edge of my seat but after hearing the comments of the actual people on board that flight I knew there was a happy ending. The crew entirety were AWESOME. God Bless you all.
Horrific & fantastic. Those pilots were beyond incredible.
Had to be a life changing event. Never to be forgotten
I’m sure they can’t forget it no matter how they try 😢😢😢😢
Re living it is a nightmare 😢
Heroes never give up ❤❤❤
Bout of insomnia and I just rewatched the Air Canada successful “gliding” landing and now rewatching this BA episode and I truly can appreciate that Canadians and British folks especially decades ago were so calm getting through terrifying situations. So much respect for all involved.
Me too!!! Hahahaha 4am.... Haha Just watched that Air Canada one! Go Canada!

Incredible! Thank goodness for such amazing Rolls Royce engines, & their designers!! Amazing pilots & cabin crew for staying calm!
literally what i said to myself “man rolls royce musta been fucking PROUD of its engine design after this incident”
I just want to say that I sat on the edge of my seat listening to this and looking at this video . I have never witnessed such calmness, and professionalism in a extreme emergency. The captain maintenance engineer and the second chair, we're amazing. And talk about thinking on your feet about a maneuvered it's never been done and then executing it is just a stroke of genius and God's hands. And when I fly I would like nothing more than to have that crew on the plane God bless you all what an amazing story. And an amazing end.
Imagine thinking your dead then saved then thinking your dead again emotional roller coaster
Man I needed that! I've been binge-watching these plane crash videos and it was starting to get a little depressing. This one was by far a welcome change!
I haven't stopped watching these airplane videos since discovery last week. One thing for sure ,- I'm in no hurry to fly lol.
@@maryfrancesbeckerhaggerty5353 Yeah, I can see why you'd feel that way. I'm an odds guy though. I figure I'd stand a better chance of winning the lottery than dieing in a plane crash. I might feel a little more squeamish if I flew all the time but it's such a hassle these days (not to mention expensive) that I rarely fly any more.
I'm about 6 minutes and 48 seconds in and I'm making a soul-call on what I think happened; I think they're flying over a forest fire or something. Smoke from incomplete combustion is often charged (I forget at the moment whether it's positive or negative.) Which would possibly explain the St.Elmo's fire, and engines recycle some of their intake air into the cabin to maintain pressurization from what I've read, which could also explain the smoke coming from the vents on the aircraft.
Air dense with smoke from incomplete combustion of solid fuels such as wood is also by origin usually very oxygen-poor, so it could also starve the engines of oxygen needed to combust their fuel without allowing the engines to surge, as they'd still be compressing air at the same efficiency pushing the exhaust and fuel out the back without igniting and blowing forward.
Then again, I'm basing my entire hypothesis on what little I know about physics, turbofans, and aviation, so I'll probably make an edit after I finish to say if I was right or not. I'll be very surprised if I'm right tho, lol.
Ok soooo, like five seconds later and I'm already sure I'm wrong now.
Edit: I WAS SO CLOSE TO BEING RIGHT. IT WASN'T SMOKE, IT WAS VOLCANIC ASH.
this is still the most well put together episode to date. the great visual effects, the explanations, commentary and great actors really help sell you to the story and let you feel what the flight crew and passengers were going through. could have maybe used a bit less 'are we going to be hurled out into space' kinda silly commentary questions but maybe that was just a thing they were prompted to say. regardless this is always a fun episode to come back to. its the best!
Incredible crew and a whole lot of lucky people.
This flight was one of those situations where you are like “this has to be the worse practical joke some one is playing on me right now.” My hat is off to these amazing pilots
So very happy that the pilots received commendations and awards!
They Deserve nothing for flying into. Volcano
@@spikenomoon That's just silly...now protocols have changed and the geologists advice the airlines and ATCs. Those brave aviators saved their own lives, their passengers, and Heaven knows how many more...
@@spikenomoon i guess at that point in aviation history they had never considered volcanos before.
@@ScreamingEagleFTW I can honestly say I wouldn’t have had a clue what was happening. I can’t imagine the sensory overload on those pilots. Their minds had to be racing with confusion. I believe this is probably The best save in aviation history. Just barely beating the Sioux City miracle and Sully and the Gimbly glider.
@@spikenomoon I mean, lot of luck too. The engine cooled and the gunk dried up and blew out so the engine could be started again. Im surprised all that abrasive grit didnt destroy the engine. Those engines are precision machines and they took being literally sandblasted while running and somehoew they restarted again. Good on them for trying to restart them but what else could they do? and they had to get the speed just right also with no instruments and land with a sandblasted windshield and then themountains were coming up.. so crazy. lot of luck and lot of skill. When they went back up the engines shut off again.. man what a story..
WOW! I've watched a lot of these and have never seen these. To see the airplane react like that is unreal. I never would of guessed it was from a volcano because this happened a long time ago. These men did an amazing and outstanding job. I can't imagine the experience.
Well the smoke was irritating to them
They didn't have volcanoes a long time ago, only recently.
These people had their Guardian Angels watching over them, no question about it. 😇
I am addicted to watching these, I don't know why, it is upsetting to know these people went through so much terror. The producers of these videos do an excellent job of retelling and explaining what happened. I prefer watching these videos over watching any movie.
That was an AMAZING story! I can't say enough commendations about the pilots and crew! 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
What an amazing crew!
"It was not a very nice situation at all." British understatement is the best.
Pilots are heroes.
24:17 "We're having a small problem with the Public Address system." - Understatement of the Entire Year of 1982
I loved it when that classy lady said, "Let's crash it into a mountain quickly and get all this over"
Stranger: "So how did u & ur Husband meet?"
Older Woman: "We survived on a Plane that almost crashed because it sucked in Volcanic Ash"
😂 Can u imagine? That has to be the best most craziest meetup story ever! ❤️ She WINS
Excellent presentation. I would never have guessed that volcano dust could do that
Seems that there must be a agency to track and report the ash to air traffic controllers and air planes ❤❤❤
Captain moody addresses the passengers and crew.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, we have a small problem, all 4 engines have stopped..we're doing our damndest to get it under control..I trust you're not in too much distress.
This is when the passengers thought..oh my god we're gonna die.
This must've been terrifying.
And that's where more prayers started going up too.
Love this episode. All lives saved
“Sheduled” 😂 at 0:23
You must be US American? Because that's the correct pronunciation.
The English language comes from the UK, NOT the US!
I was on a flight, once when I was in the Navy, when the oxygen masks dropped down. Thankfully, the Captain of the flight was able to get the pressure stabilized quickly. If the oxygen had actually been pumping through the mask, the plane most likely would have blown up. This was in the years smoking was allowed on planes, early 1980's. it was discovered that one of the younger sailors was trying to light a cigarette in the mask! Whew, close call! God was certainly watching over that flight that day!
I'm surprised they even allowed smoking on planes. So much can happen on a flight, let alone a fire from a cigarette or cigar!
Wow….it sure did not look good….till things changed for the better.
Yippie!
God bless the crew and passengers.
I was in a USAF C-141 that lost all power in the mountains of Honduras while climbing out of Palmerola. It was an eerie silence. We did successfully glide back to a safe landing. Story was they had taken on bad fuel in Panama.
Gliding in mountainous terrain must have been terrifying. Happy you made a safe landing.
I had a heart attack for each and every one of those passengers! What a terrible ordeal! I'm soo glad they made it out. These shows are soo exciting! I'm on the edge of my seat every time! I just love watching them.
Absolutely beautiful story!! 🥹
I'm sure most people familiar with aviation knew what was going on, but for me this was a real mystery until the end. What a story.
The crew did such an amazing job considering how many variables they had to deal with.
This is one of my favorites air disaster stories.
*Although the airspace around Mount Galunggung was closed temporarily after the accident, it was reopened days later. Only after a Singapore Airlines 747 was forced to shut down three of its engines while flying through the same area 19 days later (13 July) did Indonesian authorities close the airspace permanently and reroute airways to avoid the area; a watch was set up to monitor clouds of ash. Flight 009 was not the first encounter with this eruption; a Garuda DC-9 had encountered ash on 5 April 1982.*
*Engines one, two, and three were replaced at Jakarta, as was the windscreen, and the fuel tanks were cleared of the ash that had entered them through the pressurization ducts, contaminating the fuel and requiring that it be discarded. After the aircraft was ferried back to London, engine number four was replaced and major work was undertaken to return the 747 to service.*
*The crew received various awards, including the Queen's Commendation for Valuable Service in the Air for Moody and medals from the British Airline Pilots' Association. G-BDXH's engineless flight entered the Guinness Book of Records as the longest glide in a non-purpose-built aircraft (this record was later broken by Air Canada Flight 143 in 1983 and Air Transat Flight 236 in 2001).*
*One of the passengers, Betty Tootell, wrote a book about the accident, All Four Engines Have Failed, having managed to trace some 200 of the 247 passengers on the flight. In 1993, Tootell married fellow passenger James Ferguson, who had been seated in the row in front of her. She later noted: "The 28th December 2006 marks the start of our 14th year of honeymoon, and on the 24th June 2007, many passengers and crew will no doubt gather to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our mid-air adventure."*
*British Airways continued to operate the Flight 009 route from London Heathrow to Sydney, but in March 2012, the route was curtailed to Bangkok, and the aircraft operating this route is now a Boeing 777-200ER. City of Edinburgh, later renamed City of Elgin, continued to fly for British Airways after the accident, before being sold to European Aviation Air Charter. The aircraft was taken out of service in February 2004, and in July 2009, the then-30-year-old aircraft was broken up at a breaking facility at Bournemouth International Airport.*
Wow. No way you could train for that. I am glad that they made it in, but what a way to learn.
Of all the air crash investigation series that I've watched so far, this one is my absolute favourite. I love it so much, I watched it several times now and always come back to the same story to watch it again.
Volcanic ash. I've seen this and every other one. A few times. If you think there are enough plane disasters to do a new video everyday, well no one would fly again....
U make laugh so hard, but u r absolutely right :)
Well there are 22 seasons of the show, at least in Canada where it originally produced.
@@SageTheEnby0 Aviation has been around over 100 years with the current rate of 100,000 flights everyday so 22 seasons isn't bad. Now if you made a show on worldwide vehicular deaths and accidents you would have a new episode everyday for as long as humane exist.
Gosh I have never experienced laughing and sobbing at the same time while having goosebumps!
Kudos to the pilots for never giving up
Its such a terrifying yet beautiful phenomenon
I get a kick outta what the first woman speaking says. How's that heroin? Lol 😂
I was just thinking the same thing before I read your comment. Lol.
Lol same.
It's even better that it's a grandma that says it. 🤣
“Heroine” is a female hero…from the book she’s reading.
@@lewismingledorff6417 yes. I knew what she meant. The other never even crossed my mind.
I love this series
crazy...everyone survived that...wow!
hats of the crew....simply amazing.
4:29 looks like they’re about to time travel
I was thinking that myself. LOL "1.21 gigawatts at 88..er..500 miles per hour!!" LOL
LOL! Could you imagine their faces if they saw a pteranodon fly by? ;)
This is your captain. Brace for a good landing
Brace Brace, Brace...just like Miracle on the Hudson...Praise God...
this is the most british thing to ever happen. They're literally falling from the sky and the ladies are like welp better stiffen our upper lips.
Meanwhile Americans are like:
“Meh. Just land in the Hudson River, it’s no big deal silly Brits.”
In 2010, my AA flight from Dallas/Ft. Worth to Madrid, Spain, was detoured for an hour or two because of the Icelandic volcanic eruption. We missed our connection to Athens so ended up on Al Italia to Rome overnight, then to Athens the next morning.
I remember that time.
I would not be able to sleep for a week after that! Good ending, but that stress, that cortisol!!! Just cause no one is hurt physically doesn't mean there's no damage. Thank goodness it wasn't worse.
Wow! The pilots deserve every accolade they received. Truly brilliant!
OK, these videos rarely affect me, but when #4 fired up and the they finally touched down…yeah, there were a few tears. The flight crew could have put out those flames with the ice water in their veins…and then to land it blind…no words! It’s incomprehensible how they so kept their composure with one thing after another hitting them. HEROS!
incredible story!!! truth is always stranger than fiction..
27:08 "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress."
Amazing Airmenship.
Like the Boxing Day tsunami, this was a global learning experience. These days if a flight crew encounters a lightshow of this sort they know enough to Nope out of there with a 180 turn.
Can u imagine the flood of relief after landing? That whole situation was hopeless. You had smoke, alien like strange lights, fire from engines, no power from engines. The only mystery was whether the crash would be on land or water.
I just know I would have had a list of promises to God a mile long about how I was gonna change. I probably would have had to become a monk to satisfy my debt.
Let's take a moment to thank the cameramen
Man I was white knuckling the chair this entire video. Wow. No words.
Chief steward was right when he said just a little friction. lol!!! Friction between the ash and the motor parts!!!
Amazing that the steward and crew would allow smoke to that degree, apparently without notifying the command crew. From watching these videos, one learns to never believe a word the crew says. LOL
This amazing landing with no injury was a God thing. The fact that the engines restarted is a miracle.
That would also mean God either allowed or couldn't prevent the catastrophe in the first place. If He's going to get the Glory, he needs to get the Blame too.
That's "our chaps..." (Lady Crew Members included in that too...and they are "Ladies!") Hope they all received OBEs at least!
That's exactly what I thought too. God had his hand on this flight. True miracle. God was hearing prayers.
@@Boredom_Incarnate So silly. God is a "gentleman" He gives so much and probly weeps as we put the faucis if the world in control of His Sacred Gifts. And waits patiently for our requests for His assistance. Does not impose... There's a difference.
@@morning77light Amen! Maybe St. Elmo really was with them after all. :)
Best episode ive EVER seen of these...hands down! God was with them and guardian angels brought them down. Amazing💚☘️🙏
I'm not saying that Rolls Royce saved the day; THAT flight crew was key & having Rolls Royce making the engines CERTAINLY did not hurt!!
"I think ive cocked something up" almost made me spit out my coffee! XD 😂

Unbelievable…incredible demonstration of professionalism, courage, leadership and dedication…this is one of the best of course, since they all live
