My grandad was a Nottinghamshire firefighter and was called out to this event. He was the engine driver, and whilst he hasn’t ever told me about what he saw, I respect his decision not to discuss it. What things awful he must have seen.
Even the cockpit lay out is not Human Centric. Research with Iris scanning has shown that Airbus pilots scan their instruments better than B737 pilots.
The B737 is a cheap cash cow for the companies but is in fact a big hoax of which the design goes back to the early '50ths. (The predecessor of the 707 was intended as Air Refueling Tanker) It is ridiculous that even after 5 generations the run away trim stab problem even exisists. (!!!!!) That one loses the Yaw Damper when switching to Aux Power is too crazy for words. Non B737 is flyable without Yaw Damper. (An eventual catastrophic) Dutch Roll is inevatable. (After 3 rewingings???) In the US up to 80 Trim Stab Run Aways/yr (!!!!) and even 5-6 (!!!) Trim Stab Jack Screw Stucks a year. In modern standards the B737 is a betrayal to pilots.
I would have assumed in a modern airplane the instruments tell the pilots which of two engines are damaged or faulty - so did obviously around 100 passengers (those who could see it) and the cabin crew. Sometimes majorities can be wrong and modern designs beyond stupid. The easiest way is to install little PC sized cameras to "deliver" the images plus other information onto a video screen in the cockpit. But who am I to say that.
I knew a ex RAF pilot (commercial) who reported the following to me. The Captain was TOLD by the steward (do you not think that this si so from seeing the video by the way?) who was gay that the No 1 engine had flames coming out of it, the Captain who was anti-gay roundly ignored his report which may have saved the disaster from happening. That is the one single probably homophobic fact that never comes out of the woodwork. I am not sure what point in the flight the report occurred and if it was on the CVR loop which overwrote itself I think after 20 mins...
I work right next to that end of the runway... I walked up one of the embankments this morning, was a beautiful morning, a very steep walk, , a stone-throw from the impact position, and said a prayer for those who were traumatised, or who lost their lives ...🙏 I could see where it happened from up there.. I see planes taking off and landing right over my head, our building shakes and rumbles every time .... Those embankments are easily a 45° gradient , that was why the fuel ran down so quickly away from the plane.. thankfully, for all those who survived the crash, and all of those Service people who were there to help... Great documentary
I think it's just sad that no more than 124 people knew that the wrong engine had been shut down, and no one did anything because they assumed that pilots know what they are doing don't make mistakes. As a result of this assumption, 47 people died, and others were seriously injured, some with life altering injuries such as the Captain, who broke his back.
In order to restart a jet engine, you have to be within a "flight envelope" which means the plane has to be at a certain range of altitude and airspeed to successfully get an engine to light up. Unfortunately, they were too low and their airspeed was also too low to get it going again. Usually between 15,000-10,000 feet would be an ideal altiitude to restart
@@barefooboy17 Thanks for the info. You're talking about ideal conditions. That is, ideal for a restart. But this wasn't ideal! It was do or die! They tried to restart, but it failed. A jet engine can start up on the ground. (otherwise you couldn't take off! Duh). So what was the problem? The airspeed was 150 mph. That ought to be fast enough to get the fan turning? Shutting down the wrong engine wouldn't have mattered if they could have restarted it. No-one would have even noticed. Or died. It seems very odd to me.
@@daviniarobbins9298 Really. I'm not sure. But they can certainly be re-started in flight, as was demonstrated by the Jumbo jet that experienced a loss of all 4 engines due to volcanic dust, & were all re-started. Thankfully!
I don't think so. I would have assumed in a modern airplane the instruments tell the pilots which of two engines are damaged - so did obviously around 100 passengers and the cabin crew. Sometimes majorities can be wrong and important designs beyond stupid. The easiest way is to install little PC sized cameras to "deliver" the image plus other information onto a video screen in the cockpit. But who am I to say that. Besides it would depend on "wiretapping" laws to make that legal while flying over different nations.
If I'd been unlucky enough to be a passenger and I'd seen engine flames from the window I'd have been banging on the captain's door or made one of the Cain crew to inform him - although I'm sure the commentator said that the four of them knew. It was their job to inform the pilot he'd shut off the wrong engine and yet they did nothing, yet all those innocent passengers died in a horrific way. Absolutely disgusting.
Rubbish: The Concorde was a completely different situation. Even if they could see the engine in real-time: There was nothing they could do: Take-off speed, V1 & Rotate point had long passed. They were committed to doing their best: But the aircraft was doomed. Do you really believe watching a TV screen in the cockpit would have saved that incident? Amongst the myriad of other inputs and instruments, they have to monitor? Sloppy runway maintenance caused the Concorde crash: Don't blame the plane or the pilots. Issues with the tyres were well known: The Golden Rule was: No debris on the runway. EVER. Someone forgot.
2:39 is this a serious picture? I mean, that dude on the left is either 10 feet tall or the guy on right is like 2 feet tall. Do they make booster seats for pilots? How would he reach the floor, let alone the rudder pedals?
It's a good thing they decided not to put external cameras on jetliners, in order to view the engines in case of fire. That will save the airlines a few thousand dollars per aircraft, which could, in turn, raise prices by 50 cents (or maybe a dollar) per airline ticket. It's worth the risk to human life, if you ask me.
Wait you were a passenger there? If so oh my god, it just hurts to think what you might feel if you ever drove down that section of the M1 again... hey I was here in a plane once...
I agree...but hey...shouldn't their instruments tell them that? Poor training I'd say: Did a course and yet no-one mentioned the air change input from right to left engine on that model. And why didn't the perfectly adequate instruments inform them that the thrust from Engine 2 was normal?... i.e. NOT on fire....after all, the fire is fuelled by the fuel..... If there is a fire, the fuel is not reaching the engine so thrust must be reduced... No?
Pilots were at fault ! Incompetent pilots !!

My grandad also attended this disaster as a junior fireman. It haunts him to this day. So sad
0:49 I can. You were sitting in the right place and they were sitting in the wrong place, unfortunately.

Money, money. Had the pilots been trained properly on this new airplane, things might of turned out differently.

Thank you for your service in the army.

It’s not as helpful as you and the hundreds of other who think you know better, imagine it is.
Far too many ads spoil the broth.
Whybhe not say so i would have time to shout.sir sir itscleftvhand engine.
RIP Kevin Hunt he honestly went to his grave thinking he did absolutely everything possible to save all who died, RIP everyone involved.
When did he die?

@@peteconrad2077 know what ? flames, engine problem, gay??? hahaha, you need to read the AIB report sometime
@@ebaystars make your mind up, was it in the report or did your imaginary RAF friend tell you. When you lie, try to be consistent.
Sorry....Ahh..The Blue Men group were so 'cool'. lol
Well, at least some good came from all this after all!
what is this internet thing Hagrid speaks of?
They said that even the cabin crew could see the left engine on fire so why didn’t they inform the pilots??
Seniority, back then it was different - the industry has learned from this
@@MHWRESTLIN true.

Why can't you restart an engine in flight? And isn't 150 mph fast enough to bump start?

Unfortunately, they were too low and their airspeed was also too low to get it going again. Usually between 15,000-10,000 feet would be an ideal altiitude to restart

@@missasinenomine I may be wrong here but in order for a planes engines to be started on the ground requires outside help.
@@daviniarobbins9298 Really. I'm not sure. But they can certainly be re-started in flight, as was demonstrated by the Jumbo jet that experienced a loss of all 4 engines due to volcanic dust, & were all re-started. Thankfully!
@@missasinenominethey can but it’s not a quick thing to do at all and once you’ve pulled the fire handle (I think they had) then you can’t restart it.
Unbelieveable that no one mentioned the flames to the cabin crew, Damned sure I would have said something!
This crash is one of the reasons CRM is now applied to cabin crew too, not just the pilots.
I don't think so. I would have assumed in a modern airplane the instruments tell the pilots which of two engines are damaged - so did obviously around 100 passengers and the cabin crew.

People did. The crew didn't pass it onwards because they assumed the pilot's knew.

there was much more to it than that I knew a chain of pilots connected to this event see my earlier comments
Just a suggestion have the VHS tape converted to digital and eliminate the last 15 minutes of video noise.
We enjoy it this way End with 10 minutes Just move on
East Midlands runway 27
Stupid pilots: did not confirm situation/status ... basic trouble shooting errors made by amateurs
Always trust your instruments.
Ain't nuthin compared to the air France Concorde incident on pilots being able. to view the engines for themselves!!!
Rubbish: The Concorde was a completely different situation. Even if they could see the engine in real-time: There was nothing they could do: Take-off speed, V1 & Rotate point had long passed.

Can't believe the documentaries at the time had commercials in them
Once on tv commercial.included same today
At the very start it said West Midlands runway 1 when Kegworth is in the East Midlands near East Midlabds Airport in Leicestershire
Also the runway is 27
My mum was on here way home from work and helped passengers medically
Prove it. Because it's so easy to make that claim online. Anyone- including myself could say that and expect people to believe it face value.
I like how the number of comments are 92
Bless her.
An engine fire is outside the crew's training and experience? Really?
Carmelo Turdo I know! It was 1989 tho
th-cam.com/video/sLD3Vz4Cn8E/w-d-xo.html Get the story right.
Aeroplanes dont bounce off ther ground like basket balls. FFS.
These pilots should not have a driver's license never mind a pilots license
2:39 is this a serious picture? I mean, that dude on the left is either 10 feet tall or the guy on right is like 2 feet tall. Do they make booster seats for pilots? How would he reach the floor, let alone the rudder pedals?
Dumkopf! They are standing on the stairs then used for boarding. The photo is taken from the side of those stairs.
I think that is after the accident (the captain was left in a wheelchair but I don't know if permanently)
The picture was taken after the accident and the pilot was in a wheelchair with the co-pilot standing next to him.
It's a good thing they decided not to put external cameras on jetliners, in order to view the engines in case of fire. That will save the airlines a few thousand dollars per aircraft, which could, in turn, raise prices by 50 cents (or maybe a dollar) per airline ticket.

Outside cameras would freeze and fail to work in sub zero temperatures thousands of meters in the air.
It’s nowhere near as simple, nor as effective as you and other half wits think.
weird seeing Hagrid in a tv commercial😊
Those blue people, ah the memories.
Oh shit so jjba was right
Wait you were a passenger there? If so oh my god, it just hurts to think what you might feel if you ever drove down that section of the M1 again... hey I was here in a plane once...
thanks Charlie.
All for want of eye-ballinq enqines to see w/one was on fire. Makes me sick.

I love these commercials. Thank you for leaving them in lmfao
Oh dear Mr. Largedick, oh dear. Are you really the son of Mr. Largedick?
Don’t we all, not like it takes a few mins to edit them out
The commercials are gold. Tripping out.
