So difficult to watch. My husband’s mother was on Turkish Air 981 on 3rd of March, 1974- the 50 year anniversary just passed 2 weeks ago. She was British, returning from Istanbul on British Airways, but was diverted to this flight due to the strike. My husband was 17, & had 2 brothers 14 & 20. Their father had remarried & was not involved in their lives. They didn’t know she was on this flight, & the 14 year old was excited to have volunteered to take the tube to meet her flight. There was no crisis management or protocols in those days. Her BA flight said cancelled but there was mayhem & confusion at the airport in London. The brothers collectively figured out she was on the plane that had crashed. My husband & his older brother went to an air hanger in Orly, France, to look at bodies & parts of bodies to see if they could identify their mother, which they could not. There were aisles of tables set up with passengers belongings & they took what they identified as their mother’s. Not just the loss, but the aftermath had a profound impact on these 3 boys lives. The youngest ultimately, in an indirect manner, lost his life as a result. My husband says not a day goes by he doesn’t relive that day. In tragedies like this, most people who haven’t experienced anything similar, focus on the tragic loss of life…but most tragic are the loved ones left behind.
On the 2nd of March 2024, Turkish Airlines linked Melbourne, Australia to their network. To my knowledge, neither on TV nor radio, not much was mentioned of the DC-10 disaster. It just didn't fit the marketing strategy of Turkish rising further on the airline battlefield of raising profits and competing against the safest airline in the world, QANTAS.
Sorry. That’s so typical of what happened to all kinds of ppl in the 80’s. I am glad I lived through the last flight I took. TWA and ValuJet were idiots. The flights I was on both had issues next time out. Exposed for greeedddy bastards.

I have closed these "Hold 5" doors hundreds of times. The system is to press a lever until the door closes.Then keep closing the door until a small indicator light turns off. Then the pull a large lever down to close the latch. But If the door is not fully closed, I wonder if it is displayed in the cockpit!
There are going to be mishaps with millions of takeoffs and landings per year I'm amazed there aren't more crashes. Flying is much much safer. In the 60s and 70s u would have 2 or 3 major accidents every year just in the US alone. One year I think 1987 there were over 20 I believe

wow Tripple 7 Safety history is remarkable...13 years without a single accident up to 2008, and still the 2008 accident, no lives were lost...extraordinary!.
Twa 800, the moment they mentioned the teenagers, it hurt. Those teenagers, my mothers friend, her best friend, died that day. She can't talk about it 30 years later. She's still hellbent that her friends were victims of terrorism and I don't blame her
Look at the flight list. Any high ranking people on board. Not the first time a whole plane was taken out just to get one or two individuals. Rest are just collateral damage.
TWA 800 was shot down by our own military during war exercises in that area. It was a huge blunder that cost 100’s of lives and the gov will not admit to it to this day. Bill Clinton is a sleazy p.o.s. Center fuel tank leak is an incredulous explanation. Shame on this country.
They say it is the safest way to fly yet the series mayday which talks about plane crashes & series problem with planes sometimes they land but mostly they crash & there is 17 seasons of this series with around 12-14 episodes per seasons. ?????
This is from so long ago, maybe more than 20 years! There hasn’t been a major American crash since maybe 2002, but I don’t believe it was a huge loss of life.
The wreckage was so fragmented that it was difficult to determine whether any parts of the aircraft were missing before it crashed. Post-crash fire were small because there were few large pieces of the aircraft left intact to burn. Of the 346 passengers and crew on board, only 188 bodies were identifiable (40 of which were identified visually), with rescue teams recovering some 20,000 body fragments in all.
And Turkish Airlines, unbeknownst to most, tinkered with the door system shortly before the crash, which is why it was able to avoid destruction during its 1st year of operation.
49:00 and here we are,40-60 years later having the same issues as when it all started,doors blown at mid air,tires falling off on takeoff,pilot and copilots napping while driving 😮💨
Some hit the Grey Goose a few hours before the flight and zone off like stoners...But hey, at least we have ejection seats....NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
23:41 recently Boeing airliner had its door fly off mid air. Recently media undercover journalists interviewed engineers working in Boeing, who said they didn’t trust flying with Boeing aircraft. That is huge.
It's amazing that a streak from the ocean is completely buried, and so is the fact that airline voltage doesn't reach a temperature that could ignite fuel. I was living a few hours away when this happened, and lifetime pilots were calling into major radio stations outraged saying this could not have happened.
I remember that DC-10 out of ORD that lost an engine on takeoff. Was going to be flying to America from Europe a few months after that crash in 1979. Made sure I wasn't flying on a DC-10. Flew on a 747 and had a wonderful flight. Sat next to a lovely young couple returning to the US from about a year in Libya. Their stories were fascinating! They both worked for an oil company. Smooth flight all the way to JFK. 👍
You get the entire 50 minute episode for free instead of having to have cable or a streaming service. Advertising is how they make money, it is what it is.
The thing is that the airline manufactures like Boeing and Airbus have very clear, well designed and detailed sychmatics for Airlines to follow during maintenance. Down to the very bolt and even what pressure it should be tightened too. The problem arises when the airlines take short cuts at the cost of grater profits for them
British Airways Flight 5390. A window held on with bolts that were just a fraction off in size, so minor that the maintenance person couldn't visually tell the difference. Luckily everyone survived due to masterful flying by the First Officer. Even the Captain, who had been ripped halfway out of the plane, survived. Something that you'd think would be incredibly minor could have killed everyone on board.
@@silentservant_ It's less than 2 months since a brand new liner lost a door plug due to missing bolts from the factory. Generally yes it's maintenance issues and the airline does that but factory issues do exist. Especially McDonnell and later Boeing.
The Turkish Airlines flight was in 1974, 50 years ago. The TWA flight was in 1996, 28 years ago. Sensational video titles (people falling from planes😮) with content from half a century ago for clickbaiting.
Clickbait for sure. This episode has been posted before. Dramatic thumbnail to lure you in. TH-cam needs to punish these and not other content creators that are doing good works.
@@jasonmaccoul I agree it's a bit sensational. But in this case, hardly worst case click bait. Six people LITERALLY DID suddenly fall out of a DC-10 over the suburbs of Paris. And if the objection is that there was no actual live video of them falling, that's an unreasonable expectation. Actual live footage of such things is extremely rare. This is such a far cry from genuine click bait.
I prayed for the victims of some airplane disasters that their souls rest in peace, and still we pray 🙏 for a safety flight ✈️ for traveller in our aviation’s industry for protection .
And this is why I keep my feet firmly on the ground, I'll never set foot in a plane. Famous line from the Mummy Returns: Why can't you people ever keep your feet on the ground?
I hope you don't drive either, as you might end up as one of the many thousands who die on the roads each year. On US airlines over the last 23 years, excepting only the regionals, there has been but a single fatality. Try beating those odds with your car.
Do you realize that, per kilometre of distance travelled, flying is famously safer than driving. It's the CO2 emissions from both flying and driving that'll kill us all
@@TheSnoeedog That's right. And that's why I'm so glad Boeing is having problems. Right now it's a crime against humanity for these airlines to keep placing massive orders for more Boeings. If the manufacturer closes, that's 50% less flights, and most of these are totally and completely unnecessary. BUT, how do we get this to happen?
@@cchris874 while I admire your intent, I rather curious where this 50% number comes from? If Boeing closes its doors tomorrow, the same number of flights will continue...either until the Boeings in circulation die or until the remaining manufacturer's fill the gap in supply I don't fly anymore (5 years) and have no intention of doing so again. It's my small contribution to lessening CO2 emissions. I also recognize my privilege at having both travelled and lived internationally until my mid-20's so while there's a whole lot of world I'll miss, it's not like "I never got to cross the atlantic/live abroad/visit the vatican/insert travel related wish here" But as for getting 50% fewer flights to fly: stop flying. Encourage others to do so. Probably the most direct/significant way you can make change in that arena
PLEASE when making these type of sensational videos and films stop adding such unpleasant noise competing with the narrator's voice. Listeners do not need to be wanged out with such unpleasant loud and background noise.
I didn't notice the background noise or sounds but what does really really bother me is when they put the hand signers up beside some official speaking. It is so distracting , that I can't listen to what the speaker is saying and my head hurts. I have to shut it off. This is when they have CC and all the speaking is converted to text for those who are deaf. No one needs the hand signers any longer. They are old technology. To me these hand signers are like listening to an English speaker with another language like Chinese loudly broadcasting at the same time. Try to listen to two languages at the same time. Sometimes you do hear this in a translated documentary or old movie.
@@nancywhitaker5096 Falling 300 ft or 30000 feet is the same thing. Neither falling nor driving fast ever killed anyone. But a fast stop from either condition certainly will. The chance of dying per hour spent in a car is way higher than per hour spent in a plane. Finally, since most crashes happen at landing or takeoff 95% of people involved in an airplane crash survive (only 80% for non-commercial general aviation however). These events are so very rare that youtubers run out of things to talk about. I have heard separate videos individually dedicated to each and every one of these crashes... This one is interesting because it draws a common thread through them.
I was electrician more than 25 years ago & this message will not be nothing new for you,but from time to time is good to remember the basics. In electromotor winding we use the silicone wire's(we called it's S/F wires) silicone isolation is soft& we put over its glas isolating buzzer to protect the wire of mechanical damage.Both isolation exposed in open fire don't burns,goes in dust but don't burns. In house installation exist the rule: low voltage,signalization,indicating instalation ( telphone,antenna.....) must be away from power instalation minimum 10 centimeters because the electromagnetic field in power wires has influence on signal in signalization wires.
I was never afraid to fly, until I started watching these videos. I get where you are coming from. My husband says, "just stop watching them!!" I can't. Ive seen all 19 seasons of Mayday Air Disasters....lol Its intriguing I can"t stop .watching. When a new one comes out, I'm watching, before any thing else...lol ....Probably a sickness, huh?..lol
@@kimberlyreed3539 I would never fly again after watching these videos either! Lol. Thank goodness I really have no reason to have to travel. And I know driving is even more dangerous, but usually in a terrible car crash one doesn't have time to think about it, like you might in many air crashes!
I've always been terrified of flying, now even more after watching these videos! thank God when i flew from P.R to the U.S i was 5,;but i do Still remember it being very turbulent!!!!! you'll never ever catch me on an airplane
I used to work doing weight and balance for eastern airlines. Figuring out where to put cargo, bags, amount of fuel for flight for round trip on short haul flights, wind direction , runway, flaps settings and centre of gravity. My favourite was airbus airplanes. Always made sure my numbers were correct before releasing the flight. Used to get American flight from Chicago to handle it while on the ground. It was a big hassle to work those flights. They were DC10.
This sorta reminds me of what happened on the Boeing when the emergency door came off during flight. Those people were very lucky they didn't up in a tragic situation like this. Just horrible tragic event. I feel so sorry for the families of these passengers and flight crew.
Some say he was right... The investigation of this crash was very messy and there are a lot of alternative spins on it, due to the official narrative's inconsistencies.
It's my understanding that flight 191 from O,hare had crashed because of maintenance shortcuts. They were trying to save many man hours on maintenance. The manufacturer said to remove the engine,and then the pylon which kept the engine un place. But to save money and time,i believe the maintenance crew removed the engine and pylon as one piece,against manufacturers instructions. There was a protocol for this type of procedure,and it was not followed, hence this plane lost its engine,and all these poor souls lost their lives. I remember this one well. I live in the Chicagoland area,and yes,it was a big deal,and of course,such a tragedy. God bless all these poor souls,they lost their lives,through no fault of their own
I found that very interesting, it’s 8n credible how they put these huge plane jigsaws together - especially the planes that burst into flames. thank you.
Flight 800-several Navy pilots with war experience were on the ground, and reported that they saw a missile trail rise up and strike the plane, most witnesses were ignored, or discounted. It was a missile, probably an accident, not terrorists. Read the book. Complete whitewash of this tragedy.
People have to remember, this video is about design failures. The one constant in aircraft accidents, is that AIRCREW ERROR has ALWAYS been the highest reason for crashes, by far. So, this video, is a drop in the ocean. The worst accident in history, Tenerife, was aircrew error.
I was on holiday on long Island when this happened and i remember not being allowed to go near the beach. It was cordoned off because of the crash. Rip 😢😢
These individual crashes are horrific and the loss of life incalculable, but when you think of the who knows how many millions of passengers who’ve been safely flown from the beginning of civilian flights, the total numbers of people killed pale in comparison.
You cannot justify the design fault by quoting the number of successful flights, that is a senior management argument. I empathize with the designers, I worked on the design teams of several aircraft, civilian and military.
After reading so many other comments about technical flaws and failures overlooked by engineers and safety checks, I couldn't help but laugh at yours.😂
I am 72 now, and since I started really reading serious information in my 20s that was not taught in school, I realized that the bottom line of everything that makes this world run is money. Everything else is secondary or not even addressed, whether it's safety, jobs, food, heath, you name it. Money will always be the top objective, and everything else falls by the wayside. We should not be surprised. Money is not the cause. It is the "love" of money.
@@barbarachambers7974are you trying to say "nationality"? Why? Nobody claimed what nationality passengers who fell out of the plane in the rows of seats even are. First you claim nobody falls out so you have "no idea" why thats even in the title. Now you say you don't remember their NATIONALITY being mentioned but that's because it WASN'T mentioned & you are the only one bringing it up. Zero clue how you failed to understand the title BUT....."Turkish Airlines" is obviously the name of the AIRLINE not the country those dead passengers you think never fell out came from. Read headline one word at a time and listen from 15:30-16:30 in the video about the multiple passengers on this Turkish Airlines flights who fell out and were found multiple miles away from the crash....

@@davewelch151 I couldn't understand it at all. I'm sure the only reason Jason understood it is because he already knew the backstory; no one could make sense of that jumble of words.
The rearranging 1975 part was f**ckin funny! I remember 1975 the exact same way. Now look. Quite a big difference. Mayday and your writing on this one is Super awesomeness! The past was a crazy place. The seventies were just getting started..
The DC10 the engine fell of due the mounting cracks. The blame was put on the airline but they didn’t say why. Were the mountings supposed to be checked for cracks but weren’t?
Airline to blame because they used a sloppy maintenance procedure that cracked the engine pylons. And yes, they failed to check their work. Continental Airlines did the same thing, but they CHECKED their pylons afterwards and found cracks. Unfortunately they didn't share that info with anyone else.
NTSB are the smartest investigators in the world. How they put the plane together they are investigators and scientist, metal experts, plane structure experts I could list off a lot but I would still miss a expert field they are amazing. They make flying safer. Rest in Peace to all passengers and crew.

wow Tripple 7 Safety history is remarkable...13 years without a single accident up to 2008, and still the 2008 accident, no lives were lost...extraordinary!.
Twa 800, the moment they mentioned the teenagers, it hurt. Those teenagers, my mothers friend, her best friend, died that day. She can't talk about it 30 years later. She's still hellbent that her friends were victims of terrorism and I don't blame her
Look at the flight list. Any high ranking people on board. Not the first time a whole plane was taken out just to get one or two individuals. Rest are just collateral damage.
TWA 800 was shot down by our own military during war exercises in that area. It was a huge blunder that cost 100’s of lives and the gov will not admit to it to this day. Bill Clinton is a sleazy p.o.s. Center fuel tank leak is an incredulous explanation. Shame on this country.

Yeah that was just heartbreaking, I have nieces and nephews that age 😢
I keep on seeing this stories about tragedies and weird stuff happening in planes it makes me not want to fly at all ever.
I understand the fear but you gotta realize that statistically, these things will never happen to you
They say it is the safest way to fly yet the series mayday which talks about plane crashes & series problem with planes sometimes they land but mostly they crash & there is 17 seasons of this series with around 12-14 episodes per seasons. ?????
This is from so long ago, maybe more than 20 years! There hasn’t been a major American crash since maybe 2002, but I don’t believe it was a huge loss of life.
...studies have shown the one is less likely to die in a plane crash, but not guaranteed., IF you stay off them.....
And considering how many issues are in the news, it is amazing anybody wants to fly nowadays.
The wreckage was so fragmented that it was difficult to determine whether any parts of the aircraft were missing before it crashed. Post-crash fire were small because there were few large pieces of the aircraft left intact to burn. Of the 346 passengers and crew on board, only 188 bodies were identifiable (40 of which were identified visually), with rescue teams recovering some 20,000 body fragments in all.
And Turkish Airlines, unbeknownst to most, tinkered with the door system shortly before the crash, which is why it was able to avoid destruction during its 1st year of operation.
When aeroplanes explode mid air, especially over an ocean, it amazes me that any body parts get found.😢
49:00 and here we are,40-60 years later having the same issues as when it all started,doors blown at mid air,tires falling off on takeoff,pilot and copilots napping while driving 😮💨
It's wild!😮😮😮 Do we ever learn? Then again, a billionaire is supposedly building a replica of The Titanic set to sail 2027. Humans!!!! SMDH
@@metamorphicme9378 😨😨
That is why they lock the door...sleepy time
So unfortunate
Some hit the Grey Goose a few hours before the flight and zone off like stoners...But hey, at least we have ejection seats....NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
23:41 recently Boeing airliner had its door fly off mid air. Recently media undercover journalists interviewed engineers working in Boeing, who said they didn’t trust flying with Boeing aircraft. That is huge.
It's amazing that a streak from the ocean is completely buried, and so is the fact that airline voltage doesn't reach a temperature that could ignite fuel. I was living a few hours away when this happened, and lifetime pilots were calling into major radio stations outraged saying this could not have happened.
Every airport in these shows is apparently "the busiest in the world" LOL
Excellent doc like always
I remember that DC-10 out of ORD that lost an engine on takeoff. Was going to be flying to America from Europe a few months after that crash in 1979. Made sure I wasn't flying on a DC-10. Flew on a 747 and had a wonderful flight. Sat next to a lovely young couple returning to the US from about a year in Libya. Their stories were fascinating! They both worked for an oil company. Smooth flight all the way to JFK. 👍
Excellent documentary. Thank you.

@@gjk540 what?
😊😊@@motionless_horizon
What gets me is sometimes it's a small thing that brings the plane down. Might be where a mechanic doesn't put the washer on, so the bolt will drop.
The thing is that the airline manufactures like Boeing and Airbus have very clear, well designed and detailed sychmatics for Airlines to follow during maintenance. Down to the very bolt and even what pressure it should be tightened too. The problem arises when the airlines take short cuts at the cost of grater profits for them
British Airways Flight 5390. A window held on with bolts that were just a fraction off in size, so minor that the maintenance person couldn't visually tell the difference. Luckily everyone survived due to masterful flying by the First Officer. Even the Captain, who had been ripped halfway out of the plane, survived. Something that you'd think would be incredibly minor could have killed everyone on board.
@@silentservant_ And human error, which is equally common.
@@silentservant_ It's less than 2 months since a brand new liner lost a door plug due to missing bolts from the factory. Generally yes it's maintenance issues and the airline does that but factory issues do exist. Especially McDonnell and later Boeing.
The Turkish Airlines flight was in 1974, 50 years ago. The TWA flight was in 1996, 28 years ago. Sensational video titles (people falling from planes😮) with content from half a century ago for clickbaiting.
But it is true though. They did fall out. So not the worst case of click bait.
And it's all still VERY relevant!
Clickbait for sure. This episode has been posted before. Dramatic thumbnail to lure you in. TH-cam needs to punish these and not other content creators that are doing good works.
@@jasonmaccoul
I agree it's a bit sensational. But in this case, hardly worst case click bait. Six people LITERALLY DID suddenly fall out of a DC-10 over the suburbs of Paris. And if the objection is that there was no actual live video of them falling, that's an unreasonable expectation. Actual live footage of such things is extremely rare. This is such a far cry from genuine click bait.
Agreed.
I prayed for the victims of some airplane disasters that their souls rest in peace, and still we pray 🙏 for a safety flight ✈️ for traveller in our aviation’s industry for protection .
Inadequate maintenance is NOT an engineering error.
And this is why I keep my feet firmly on the ground, I'll never set foot in a plane.
Famous line from the Mummy Returns: Why can't you people ever keep your feet on the ground?
I hope you don't drive either, as you might end up as one of the many thousands who die on the roads each year. On US airlines over the last 23 years, excepting only the regionals, there has been but a single fatality. Try beating those odds with your car.
@@cchris874 When I used to skydive, people used to say that the most dangerous part of skydiving was the drive out to the airfield.
Do you realize that, per kilometre of distance travelled, flying is famously safer than driving. It's the CO2 emissions from both flying and driving that'll kill us all
@@TheSnoeedog
That's right. And that's why I'm so glad Boeing is having problems. Right now it's a crime against humanity for these airlines to keep placing massive orders for more Boeings. If the manufacturer closes, that's 50% less flights, and most of these are totally and completely unnecessary. BUT, how do we get this to happen?
@@cchris874 while I admire your intent, I rather curious where this 50% number comes from? If Boeing closes its doors tomorrow, the same number of flights will continue...either until the Boeings in circulation die or until the remaining manufacturer's fill the gap in supply
I don't fly anymore (5 years) and have no intention of doing so again. It's my small contribution to lessening CO2 emissions. I also recognize my privilege at having both travelled and lived internationally until my mid-20's so while there's a whole lot of world I'll miss, it's not like "I never got to cross the atlantic/live abroad/visit the vatican/insert travel related wish here"
But as for getting 50% fewer flights to fly: stop flying. Encourage others to do so. Probably the most direct/significant way you can make change in that arena
Who in their right mind would run electrical wires through a fuel tank?
PLEASE when making these type of sensational videos and films stop adding such unpleasant noise competing with the narrator's voice. Listeners do not need to be wanged out with such unpleasant loud and background noise.
Wanged out :) lol... NUMBER WANG!
I didn't notice the background noise or sounds but what does really really bother me is when they put the hand signers up beside some official speaking. It is so distracting , that I can't listen to what the speaker is saying and my head hurts. I have to shut it off. This is when they have CC and all the speaking is converted to text for those who are deaf. No one needs the hand signers any longer. They are old technology.
To me these hand signers are like listening to an English speaker with another language like Chinese loudly broadcasting at the same time. Try to listen to two languages at the same time. Sometimes you do hear this in a translated documentary or old movie.
Ya, the loud screeching sounds were obnoxious.

I used to fly all the time in the 70's. I never fly at all anymore and have not in about 25 years.
@@NikD7 You have not far to fall from a car. 30,000 feet is a long way down.
That reassure me! I wouldn't want to fly with passengers like you.... I prefer learners ;-)
@@nancywhitaker5096 Falling 300 ft or 30000 feet is the same thing. Neither falling nor driving fast ever killed anyone. But a fast stop from either condition certainly will. The chance of dying per hour spent in a car is way higher than per hour spent in a plane. Finally, since most crashes happen at landing or takeoff 95% of people involved in an airplane crash survive (only 80% for non-commercial general aviation however). These events are so very rare that youtubers run out of things to talk about. I have heard separate videos individually dedicated to each and every one of these crashes... This one is interesting because it draws a common thread through them.
I was electrician more than 25 years ago & this message will not be nothing new for you,but from time to time is good to remember the basics. In electromotor winding we use the silicone wire's(we called it's S/F wires) silicone isolation is soft& we put over its glas isolating buzzer to protect the wire of mechanical damage.Both isolation exposed in open fire don't burns,goes in dust but don't burns. In house installation exist the rule: low voltage,signalization,indicating instalation ( telphone,antenna.....) must be away from power instalation minimum 10 centimeters because the electromagnetic field in power wires has influence on signal in signalization wires.

So difficult to watch. After couple of minutes starts new story without proper ending and explanation of previous one🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
I used to work doing weight and balance for eastern airlines.
Figuring out where to put cargo, bags, amount of fuel for flight for round trip on short haul flights, wind direction , runway, flaps settings and centre of gravity. My favourite was airbus airplanes.
Always made sure my numbers were correct before releasing the flight.
Used to get American flight from Chicago to handle it while on the ground.
It was a big hassle to work those flights. They were DC10.
This sorta reminds me of what happened on the Boeing when the emergency door came off during flight. Those people were very lucky they didn't up in a tragic situation like this. Just horrible tragic event. I feel so sorry for the families of these passengers and flight crew.

Gosh James I do believe you could be right
The best way to avoid dying in general is to not be born 😉

To fly is to live more fully.

the first few flights I took as a child were all on DC10 Airplanes, after the crashed had happened. I never gave it a second thought. 👍👍 Great video
Is it just me that every problem with planes that results in deaths is caused by financial decisions of corporate execs?
100% correct
I remember when flying in a DC10, was risky.. 😕
Corporate Greed is not Engineering Error
true
Neither is making a plane more dangerous, as was the case with Turkish Airlines just some weeks before the Paris crash.

It's my understanding that flight 191 from O,hare had crashed because of maintenance shortcuts. They were trying to save many man hours on maintenance. The manufacturer said to remove the engine,and then the pylon which kept the engine un place. But to save money and time,i believe the maintenance crew removed the engine and pylon as one piece,against manufacturers instructions. There was a protocol for this type of procedure,and it was not followed, hence this plane lost its engine,and all these poor souls lost their lives. I remember this one well. I live in the Chicagoland area,and yes,it was a big deal,and of course,such a tragedy. God bless all these poor souls,they lost their lives,through no fault of their own
Why does the title say Turkish airline and the plane is actually TWA?!?
Reminded me the story about the flight of United Airlines 811. The same problem with the laggedg door and the door construction looked similar
Except there was no cover-up.
I found that very interesting, it’s 8n credible how they put these huge plane jigsaws together - especially the planes that burst into flames. thank you.
Flight 800-several Navy pilots with war experience were on the ground, and reported that they saw a missile trail rise up and strike the plane, most witnesses were ignored, or discounted. It was a missile, probably an accident, not terrorists. Read the book. Complete whitewash of this tragedy.

When did this happen actually.
Makes one feel all warm and fuzzy about trusting any planes
Excellent investigation and narration...
TWA is not Turkish Airlines, it's Trans World Airlines (American Airline Company) that has gone out of business (liquidated) long time ago.
These individual crashes are horrific and the loss of life incalculable, but when you think of the who knows how many millions of passengers who’ve been safely flown from the beginning of civilian flights, the total numbers of people killed pale in comparison.
you must be fun at parties
The loss of life isn’t incalculable, they check the pax manifests and count the dead.
You cannot justify the design fault by quoting the number of successful flights, that is a senior management argument. I empathize with the designers, I worked on the design teams of several aircraft, civilian and military.
They didn't learn much, just look at the MAX 😢
I am hearing that the 777X is a piece of 💩 also.
What about the door and the wheel that fell off
After reading so many other comments about technical flaws and failures overlooked by engineers and safety checks, I couldn't help but laugh at yours.😂
I am 72 now, and since I started really reading serious information in my 20s that was not taught in school, I realized that the bottom line of everything that makes this world run is money. Everything else is secondary or not even addressed, whether it's safety, jobs, food, heath, you name it. Money will always be the top objective, and everything else falls by the wayside. We should not be surprised. Money is not the cause. It is the "love" of money.

I could be wrong, but wasn’t this the plane crash that inspired the first final destination movie?
The DC10 the engine fell of due the mounting cracks. The blame was put on the airline but they didn’t say why. Were the mountings supposed to be checked for cracks but weren’t?
Airline to blame because they used a sloppy maintenance procedure that cracked the engine pylons. And yes, they failed to check their work. Continental Airlines did the same thing, but they CHECKED their pylons afterwards and found cracks. Unfortunately they didn't share that info with anyone else.
That would be in the designers or builders official "CHECK-LIST" Most likely the designers. So, there IS a paper trail.
