    Since no one was hurt in the air or on the ground in Athens, I have to say how amazing it must have been to witness and hear a 747 flying overhead so close to the ground. Say what you will about Boeing, esp. after the merger, but the 747 was an amazing technological achievement, and thrilling to fly on back in early '70s. Yes, I'm that old.😂

    In the Olympic case it was the flight engineer who initialy messed up by deactivating the water injection to the engines.

    • @wilsjane
      @wilsjane Місяць тому +5

      That was certainly a big mistake, those engines evaporated water droplets into a larger volume of vapor to produce thrust and cooling at the same time. their ultimate demise came when it was discovered that steam over hot turbine blades made them brittle. The system was developed for the Harrier during vertical takeoff.
      I assume that the low water warning was from only the engine that exploded. Even if it was affecting the other engines, they needed what was left of the water then and now. I cannot imagine that with the water needed to stay in the air, a common system would have been used.
      Unfortunately, pilots receive too little training on exactly how things work. With the level of automation today, this situation is getting worse.

    Don't usually comment on your videos, but had to here. Migadis was superb, using wits, experience, know-how. They must have been passing bricks at the time. How often has that happened to them? You're in one of those apartments at height, seeing a 747 just whisk past you like it was a bird.
    No recognition about engine no.3?? Lost of engine power?? Did they all dream it? Simulations all ended in crashes, yet the real thing did not. Boeing said 'you guys f***** up, and the plane rectified all, owing to its marksmanship and design.' Magadis had to have shown them the finger.
    Same thing again for the guys going to Cameroon. Last moments showing them an imminent crash and they had to dig in, pull up, avert, get over, land and kiss the ground in Douala. It's nice to see at least there were no fatalities, but good piloting.
