- A DHL Airbus A300, loses all hydraulics and control after taking off from Baghdad airport in 2003.
The crew faces the challenge of landing the plane without any control, and the situation becomes even more critical as the aircraft is on fire.
Ever wondered what it's like to navigate a plane through missile attacks and asymmetrical thrust?
From Season 3 Episode 2 "Attack Over Baghdad": DHL A300 - November 22, 2003
November 22, 2003 - It was supposed to be a routine “mail run”, but shortly after takeoff, the three man crew of the DHL A300 is thrown into the fight of their lives. For sixteen minutes they struggle without hydraulics to put the plane back down on the runway of Saddam Hussein International Airport in Baghdad.

Although my heart goes out to the journalist who got duped, the fact that she documented this so well makes it the best-documented air disaster in history. And the crew surviving to tell the story puts the icing on the cake!
my concern is for the pilots in command of the aircraft. they are lucky they survived. the journalist just wanted a story to sell.
The fact that she was there changed nothing.
The best thing about this series is they were less using stock footage or maybe none at all. They go full reconstruction instead of horror chilling naratives
"She got duped" explain
@cannaweallgetalong7168 they went there to interview these terrorists but instead of roped into an attack on an aircraft. If they declined or attempted to leave then they most likely would have been tortured and killed. Other journalists met that sort of fate at the hands of middle eastern terrorist groups.
Being hit by a missile and then havivg to get through unexploded ordinance area? This was an amazing Documentary through and through!
This incident was truly one of those "Truth can be stranger than fiction sometimes" moments. "Land into unexploded-ordinance? Clear a path with a fire-truck?! Crazy, nobody would belie...what do you mean 'this actually happened?!" Watching them fly while that wing keeps burning slowly is an extra torture for everyone watching. Nothing can be done about it...watching is all they CAN do! This whole production was amazing, too. Well-edited, well-presented, and wonderfully-paced!
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
The big difference between the DHL and JAL disasters was that the JAL plane also lost the vertical stabilizer and chunks of the horizontal ones in addition to the hydraulics. The DHL plane still had its stabilizers.
That and it was a much larger plane about 2 times heavier with 520+ passengers on board and all their luggage.
I was so on the edge of my seat! The actors were so realistic. The plane in slow motion. The background music was so suspenseful. My eyes were tearing up. The captain was like a surgeon. The first mate was barking coordinates and directions throughout the trip. The captain so lucky to have him. The third man was the navigator. He was the oldest. Like a father figure...very supportuve. When the navigator spoke to the Australian lady air traffic controller on tbe ground you felt like the way he spoke with authority made the lady and the captain and the first mate realize every person involved with this flight is first rate and they just might pull this thing off. When the navigator told the lady controller to prepare crash personnel on the ground and she reported she had already mobilized accident personnel and equipment you KNEW this lady is on the ball and these guys look like they might just pull this whole thing off without turning into another Sious City. When the plane finally stopped all in one piece without doing a double axle that's when i realized i hadn't been breathing for several minutes because it was as if i was a member of the crew intent on getting this bird down in one piece to fly another day...
Fun fact:
In many large jets the Cockpit is so far forward of wings that the windows don't allow pilots to see much or any of the wing.
Which is why in questions of whats happening to a wing, control surface or engine malfunction, either a stewardess or passenger who can see alerts the cockpit crew who then comes for a look to verify it.
You'd think by now they'd have a body or tail mounted camera system to multiple views of the wings & engines etc.
how would the camera stay put at the air speed the aircraft is flying?
@@katherinecooper6159
Great question.
Strong Gorilla 🦍 Tape outta do it.
Lol - no they'd be fixed focus, formed metal "turret mount" style built into the planes superstructure - to survive & be Aero.
Some planes have them already.
Cameras do exist on many airplanes and they are embedded
Cameras do exist on many airplanes and they are embedded within the fuselage. So they can’t be blown off. Asking how a camera wouldn’t get blown off is like asking why won’t the exterior panels get blown off. Or asking why the engines don’t get blown off.
Many planes have cameras embedded in the fuselage.
These pilots were absolutely incredible
That's some seriously awesome flying!! These pilots deserve a medal
they got one, multiple actually
This is the most EXCELLENT episode that I ever saw (I've seen a lot of these episodes). This one is COMPLETED! Very well edited and produced. Congratulations everyone!
It's a good one. But the absolute best is the one about British Airways Flight 5390, where the pilot fell out of the window at 17000 ft and they were able to land the plane without casualties.
@@jeschinstadI was just going to say this about the British one! Hands down the best episode I’ve seen, and this one is very good too
@@jeschinstad fell out of the window? you mean the one where the pilot got sucked out the window but they held onto him by the legs until they touched down and he survived? yea that one was nuts
@@SpydersByte He was blown, but yes. Tim Lancaster, is his name, I believe.
I disagree with the logic that FAA is applying here. Yes, its extremely rare to loose all hydrolics in a modern airplane, but is there a decent chance that might happen once or twice again in next 10 years. Yes. So install it.
There is a reason that Russians were still building and flying entirely mechanical controlled propeller planes well past the era of hydraulics and jet engines.
Will you pay for it?
will you pay for a higher ticket price knowing there are more advanced tech systems on the plane to increase your chances of survival in the chance an aircraft looses all hydraulic function?@@ktgmobile2552
@@ktgmobile2552: How many cents would the payment be?
Probably because Boeing convinced them not to as that would cut through their profits seeing their track record with safety lately.
36:20 love how the music is synced with the beeps
I hadn't noticed that before! Wow, that worked out perfectly with the music!
Brings a whole new definition to learning on the fly..
This was amazing airmanship. They stayed very calm and focused throughout this and survived to tell the tale. These pilots deserve all of the recognition.
To get that thing to land without losing a wing, falling apart, hitting a leftover land mine or exploding & all 3 survived, our God was his copilot that day. Without a doubt.
That was some damn good flying guys! Well done.👏👏
Woah. I'm not done with the episode yet but it's been intense. I had to pause tho because I find it both very relatable and a little funny that the Apache crews came on over, literally hovering about and were making worried commentary the whole time. They wanted to help and be nearby but they were also too noisy. Lol
The reenactment actors this episode are putting in work!
1 24 24
Again, excellent editing and graphics. Thank you.
Many might say these subjects aren't interesting to the masses. I disagree. Western civilization as we have known it is wholly dependent on airmanship and their ships.
May G'd preserve the right.🇺🇲🇮🇱
How soul wrenching for these journalists! 😢
I know this is a serious show and it’s informative but the animated demonstration of the plane not leveling out from 20:12 to 20:17 gave an unexpected laugh
lol yea same, it was comically fast 😅 the phugoid cycle or 'dolphining' looks pretty silly when exaggerated like that
What a crew, a team they were, they are, worked together, no hierarchy BS
If you're watching please give a thumbs up to Mayday! Im not associated with them i just admire their work. 😊
They stole this show off the TV, and then they re-upload multiple times a year of the same episode.
They had to learn and practice a whole new flying techniques on the fly.
It wasn't a new technique it had been successfully used to land the plane during the crash landing of united flight 232.
@@MegaLokopo For them it was new. I can watch hundreds of videos on how to drive manual, but I guarantee the first time I actually drive a manual car I will have difficulty.
@@CorollaChronicles Yea, but you don't have a driving simulator at work to practice. You also aren't a professional driver who drives every day for work.
@@MegaLokopo My point is that these pilots would only have had simulator experience at most, which just isn't the same as actually experiencing such a failure in the real world.
@@CorollaChronicles The point of the simulator is that it is as close to real as possible. But yes it is not perfect.
Bless the pilots and crew god bless you
Jean Claude Van Damme looks like he’s ready to kick some ass
I have watched every single episode. This has to be the best pilot of all fucking time.
I don't know if Mayday has done an episode on it, but there was a flight similar to this one where they had to control the plane using only the engines and there happened to be a pilot riding as a passenger who had done some self-training on that exact scenario in case it ever happened
Not only did he help land the plane safely but he was mad he didn't hit the centerline of the runway, it's an unbelievable once in a bazillion story. I can't remember which flight it was because I've watched so many of these videos but I think the channel Mentour Pilot did an episode on it
@@djbrohawkUnited Airlines flight 232 might be the one you’re thinking of. Though some passengers were killed most survived as did all the pilots.
My heart goes out to everyone that loss their lives RIP
I think TCA needs to be made more removable/easily installable and become a requirement for any civilian model flying in a warzone.
Wow!! What a documentary.
39:14 this mounted camera of the Apache helicopter shows that the DHL A300 has landed but the plane is turning left and hit the ground dirt
United 232 had to try to land in Sioux City Iowa in 1989 with no hydraulics, using only engine power in their remaining 2 engines.
But it crash landed and killed dozens or hundreds of people. It wasn't an actual successful landing. But it was a good landing given the circumstances which still saved hundreds of lives.
From what I recall, it was nearly a perfect landing... But just as they were about to touch down, the plane entered a phugoid motion that the pilots (and the engines themselves) just didn't have enough time to react to.
@@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO When all reasonable expectations were that no one could have possibly survived, saving about half of the people on board should count as a successful landing. Every other pilot the FAA had attempt the scenario crashed the plane, none of them were even close to saving one person. What counts as a successful landing? No injuries? Exceeding all reasonable expectations, counts as success in my book.
These dudes are amazing. So glad they survived to tell. I don't fault the journalists, they had to choose life too.
This is the most insane piloting probably ever. Even more so that Sully. Sully saved many more lives but this plane was far for crippled
United 232 was more insane.
Becoming a pilot is not just flying it needs professional pilots it needs emergency etc
Ot can risk your life if measures can go wrong
I remember when this happened. I was in Baghdad, FOB Thunder
Thank you for your service in such an awful time period of the war, glad you made it out.
@@MrWolfSnack thank you. I appreciate that. 🫡
I dont' know if it's still there but for years you could see this plane left on the tarmac on google earth.
SURELY am a simple driver from Nairobi Kenya.. am Humbled by the Sobreity exhibited by those crew n the Nasty heartlessness of some humankind...am touched indeed..
PCA is an incredible feat of engineering and design.
These guys were absolutely geniuses... Especially the captain 👍👍👍👍👍👍😀
Wow. Just wow.
10:39 that is not an a300, that is an L-1011
Brilliant work by all three. They got a bit of luck but they used all their skill, and faced some very difficult decisions. You want to just get on the ground and having to go back out on long final required a lot of bravery. It reminds me of the amazing airmanship of the crew on Reeve Aleutian Air Flight 8.
Reeve 8 is a great episode!
12:56 when the missile fires at the DHL A300 left wing there is no control of the plane without the hydraulic the pilots has no idea they struck by a missile
I just found out. The flight was DHL flight 54
They can aim iyoo..just imagine the speed of the flight ✈
Imo, we should've pulled a Harry Truman decision years ago in these unstabled regions.
They earned to live another day
Kudos to the crew. Brilliant working together throughout and keeping that plane in the air. I believe that there is much lost in the translation of the French journalist. "Set us up" etc. I do speak decent French, I wish I could have heard her better😂
Why re-upload bro? 🤔
I already saw this.
I didn't skip even a second last time
Saying bro like 1 person runs this channel and company
I like the older versions better.
they act all tough at first then scurry away like they robbed a food mart.....glorified thugs basically
PCA is cheating if you are using all three engines when most airplanes only have two engine.
Isn't this a reload?
This show airs with 3 different names and narrators in 6 different countries. It's possible you seen one of the other variants of this episode.
Borat makes an excellent air crewman.
Why is the a300 pull up alarm replaced with the 757 pull up alarm
Only the NTSB would tell people you don't need this software upgrade. Tell that to the dead peoples families..
thay good at flying
They were born again!
Why is it that so many of these videos, they say that there's no training for this scenario?
Well, we want pilots to eventually be able to fly a plane, so we don't train them for every single theoretically possible scenario, we train them more the most realistic scenarios, and hope at least some of the training carries over. Otherwise they would be training non stop for 60 years.
Respect for the journalist and her team
I don’t blame the journalists for not saying much. If they had tried to stop them or said anything contradictory, they would’ve probably been murdered.
It's a shame that though they've existed for many years, countermeasures against MANPADS are still extremely rare on civil aircraft.
40:49 Man that Niagara on the Lake fire department from Ontario Canada must be good to get to Iraq that quick not to mention picking up a firefighter from the southern states on the way😂
The USA should not have been in Iraq, this is just a consequence of that
And todays kids are 'practicing' this 'skill set' every day with their video games, not?
Landing aircraft or using surface to air missiles?
microsoft flight sim is prtty acurate if you have the right stuff
i'd recommend the faa rethink their decision and implement this as a last line of defense!!!!
3:43 only in America this is considered "helping" 😂
@Mayday: Air Crash the DHL livery was black at that time not red
18:10 That Boeing 747 crashed primarily because they lost the rudder, because even if they lose all hydraulics they still have their yolks physically connected to the control surfaces
No, that's not how it works. The yolk on a plane as large as the 747 is not directly connected to all the control surfaces. On a smaller aircraft such as a 737? yes, but not on the 747, so the aircraft 100% crashed due to loss of hydraulics.
@@Prodagist Yes, but with the loss of an almost entire rudder, made the plane even harder to control and thus was a major contributing factors to the event that occured
The 737 had 'manual reversion' using wires, but the 747 is not manual-at-all, it is all hydraulic or electrical and does NOT have 'manual reversion'. When they lost hydraulics, there was almost nothing they could do with the yokes. And to be helpful, 'yolks' are in eggs, 'yokes' are in cockpits! But I suppose 'letting the yokes go' even when they're useless has to be horrible. You'd just feel utterly helpless...which you WOULD be, so that would be fair, but I suppose it at least feels like you have SOME chance if you keep trying.
What about staiblizer trim, isn't that electric??
I think many planes like the a320 have electric now but idk
Even not 1 life is not worth implementing the PCA?????
Why does the first officer wants to take over from the captain?
Simple put auxiliary manual controls on all planes now.
I think she is lucky to be alive...
Why can't the isolate the leaking system. Shut off the leaking part.or run separate master.clyliners for. Each wing and tail. Cars have had split system for front and back brakes a long time.
Jal
😢😢😢
All she cared about was her story. No excuses.
What should she have done?
@@slah1.0 Not gone there in the first place.
Can there not be 3 separate hydraulic systems?
They do have 3 separate systems, but they all connect to each of the flight systems, that way no matter which one you lose you still have control of every flight surface. But that leaves you vulnerable to all three systems lines getting cut, like they did here and on united flight 232.
41:26 this is the real photo of the DHL A300
Yep, it's real.
Re-upload
Yet another reupload, what a surprise.
You go ahead and say as an American to a terrorist in their own backyard, you should not do that. Good luck.
If they aren't ashamed why cover their faces😂
Kindly support the effort of sky craft diaries
It's so interesting to me that in almost all these videos someone will say something like "It was the worse mistake in aviation history", "It was an incredibly rare occurrence, but it happened" , "This was the biggest air accident in aviation history" , "This thing happened that NEVER happens". Yet somehow it keeps happening. Enough that this channel can release a new video almost daily for years lol. And every time it's the newest "worst in aviation history"
Basic american over-dramatazing :D
22:01 this photo of the terrorist firing a anti aircraft missile launcher is it real or fake
Real,. It as taken by the French photographer Jerome who was with the journalist.
I can't believe the airline manufacturers don't have hydraulic fuses that limit total loss of hydraulic fluid in their systems!!!
They do now, the problem is a lot of planes are old, so new planes in those days had them but not older ones.
Baghdad was stable before the US invaded...
The whole thing is amazing, but the Egyptian accent spoiled the entire Iraqi thing.
😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢
The thing is,, by intelligence all over the world 🌎
They know who is bad and good!!
Go get the bad!!
What is the problem???
Egyptian actors lol
عمك العراقيين😂❤
😊
noooo my shein package
Now they have "hydraulic fuses" that will cut off hydraulic leaks before they drain the entire system
22:59 I disagree with the criticism of the French journalist.
1. They would've found someone else or gotten publicity regardless.
2. She was an important witness to identify them, their capabilities, etc.
3. There was nothing she could do to stop them. She was already in a very precarious position safety-wise.

I know a little Arabic. "Allahu akbar!" translates as "Run for your life!"
No.. allah Akbar means “god is great”
Sorry the true meaning of Allah Arkbar, really means , " Sorry guys , I am really depressed , my wife cheated on me with that Post Office Clerk ." " Plus to make things worse is she is pregnant by the Post Office Clerk and having triplets ". "What should I do". The rest of the terrorist and all together say", Allah Arkbar". This is why the Arabic language is so confusing. This is the orignal meaning of these sacred words of dispair and hopelesness. Prove me wrong ?@@NightReaperSunDestroyerOfGods7
Wheres my package?
That DC-10 was going into a Foogoid, Condition. With no hydraulics to control the plane. It goes into a calm a up and down roller coaster like, Foogoid. Or whatever they call it? I think that's what they call that condition. And the pilots should have known that. As I'm not a pilot, exactly. And I know about that. So how those guys got their commercial pilot's license? I do not know? My dad was a private pilot. And I learned how to fly at 13. Piper Cherokee 140's. I'm so glad we did not fly Cessna's. The Piper Cherokee's. Were, more like sports cars. More like a civilian, Curtiss P-40. Only much slower. But it could handle. You weren't hanging underneath the wings.
Oh? I find I got close in my memory. As it is either, phugoid or fugoid. I just like the, Foo Fighters, too much. Not the ones that the World War II pilots saw. But the one by Dave Grohl. They are my favorite, Phugoid.
I just love the, Phu Fighters. I just love them! Actually I have the hots for Dave Grohl.

I reserve my comment...
