- DHL cargo plane is hit by a missile while carrying soldiers’ letters during the war. Flight crew must fight to land the badly damaged Airbus A300 without hydraulics.
What would you do if you were in the crew's position, flying a badly damaged plane after a missile attack in a war zone?
Mayday: Air Disaster - From Season 3 Episode 2 "Attack Over Baghdad": 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.

Never let your next move:Reverse card.
that's impossible. idk how they did that
I gotta give everyone on this plane an ataboy they stayed calm and stayed focused and didn't give up
Stay focused. Try to get the plane down safely as possible. Stay calm.
Never know your next move: Be The Pilot
I think the JAL pilots were heroes, not failures. Much respect to this crew. Quick thinking, a steady hand, under incredibly difficult conditions - very impressive.
I don't think they meant they were failures, just that the situation had led to disaster.
why would they ever be "failures"
@@NOPENUHUHNOPENOPE they were in control, but when hydraulics fail, then its no longer about pilot error, its that they are struggling for control of a plane that are now run dry of any ability to control.
He’s saying the DHL is better then JAL even though flying a 747 that’s older
Do you mean DHL like god check how your spelling the airline it’s literally THREE LETTERS
This is the most incredible landing probably ever performed
❤
I think flight reeve 8 is the best landing in the hestory
Right up there with Captain Sully's Hudson river ditch in New York.
But there is many pilots did that as flight pan Am American airlines 6
TACA 110, Garuda Indonesia 421, The Gimli Glidder look them up
The interviews with the pilots here are exceptional. They show us how humane, how smart and intelligent these guys are. Full credit to them. I loved when the Captain stated "keep- both runways open for us.. No more talking bye" How strong and capable they seem.
it was the flight engineer, the captain was hardly speaking...
what minute?
Both UAL 232 and JAL 123 had lost all hydraulics and they both flew for as long as they could, the former attempted to land but ended up crashing with 112 out of 296 dead (but both cases, at least there are survivors). This is the time where they managed to land the A300 intact even with no hydraulics, certainly an exceptional feat. (the A300 was eventually repaired but no one was willing to buy that aircraft and was later scrapped in 2018)
Wish they put it in a museum instead of scrapping it
'That was the first of many things that proved how lucky we we're that day' What a professional, yet humble pilot. Glad everything turned out ok for them 🙏🙏🙏
They actually criticized the journalist for not protesting at 15-ish heavily armed zealots from shooting at civilians... How dense can you get? 🤣
eh, I've seen camera guys get flamed for filming collapsing buildings, like sure ma'am let me just catch that 5 story building with my free hand, why didn't I think of that? The average human is surprisingly easily manipulated and surprisingly dumb in many ways, and remember that half of us are even dumber than that
civilians?
JAL did not fail, they were defeated by Mt. Fuji - zero hydraulics represents an impossible challenge, to keep the plane in the air is incredible; landing a crippled bird without training? Miraculous. Enormous respect to the pilots who made it and those who couldn’t.
but JAL pilots did not report that they had hydraulics failure. I heard that the pilots did not wanted chaos to report that to ATC.
@@mayTK What would have changed if they did anyway ?
They failed to land the plane, that was the objective for both. They arent failures themselves but they didnt get it to an airport
You have to consider the fact that the JAL plane lost its vertical stabilizer, making it harder to control the plane
Respect to these legendary pilots for pulling that off.
"It's impossible to defeat terrorism."
Somebody should've told all those "war on terror" dingbats.
it's surprisingly easy to stop in many cases, the checklist usually goes:
1. stop invading their country
"This wasn't the story they wanted." What were the journalists expecting from terrorists showing off their weapons? For them to *not* shoot something?
Edit: To be fair, she shouldn't have been criticized for "not doing more to stop them," because, really, what was she supposed to do? Scold them like a stern mother to misbehaving children? She's one unarmed woman with an unarmed translator and an unarmed photographer. I doubt the translator's really on her side, anyway. The only thing protesting or any other action on her part would accomplish is getting more people killed, namely her and her photographer.
Guaranteed the FAA was "lobbied" by the Airline Industry _to not mandate_ this technology due to the added expense it would be when manufacturing the airliners.
It's software only. You could load the program into a regular flight computer, no modification needed. It's all digital in Airbus anyway. The computer is already flying the aircraft based on pilot input. It's a relatively simple matter for the same computer to use engines instead to execute the pilot commands. And most new Boeing's are like that too. Even retrofitting it on an older non fly-by-wire is relatively easy. The MD11 shown here, that used PCA to land was waaaay older than any "glass cockpit" as you call cockpits that rely more on screens than half a million switches. So I guess in an old liner you would need to mount a switch Control mode: regular, PCA.
And a line in the emergency checklist. Loss of all flight control: select control mode PCA. Done. I bet if you asked every pilot to pitch in ten bucks it would be paid for. But no. It's happened like 5 times in 30 years so "not worth it".
Probably eventually manufacturers will just add it quietly to new aircraft. NASA would 100% provide the software for free. That is their job. Not just space, aviation research too. They so it all the time. Some is used some is not but they make it avaliable to anyone welding together flying machines. I'm sure you could drop them an email and ask nicely ;) I don't see why it would be restricted It's not designs for a missile guidance system. Even those you can just look up in old NASA archives. The entire space shuttle design is public IP. You can build one if you like. Good luck with the RS-25s... take ATK 140 million to make one these days for the Space Launch System. The bill on that test launch...
@@221b-l3tnope, it's still pricey. The money lost while programs are unloaded and again, the software price. It's still 10s of millions of dollars. If it's an airworthiness directive from FAA .. it's more money
@@BillClay88Yet they made the rat!
The ram air turbine
It has saved MORE THAN 2 THOUSAND LIVES!
We can only hope COVID forced the airline industry to do all the safety upgrades and obsolescence repairs that were deemed too time costly previously when they were forcibly grounded and living on government subsidies
@@NotAGoodUsername360they were too busy buying back stocks and then claiming that they needed government help.
Great episode. I see a couple comments complaining about recycled content. Honestly, I think that's a good thing. I'd rather pilots, crew and passengers have safe flights and not have situations that can be used for Air Disaster content.
I agree with this sentiment, new content/new crashes means more real tragedies
@@Founder6087the new content already exists this is an actual tv show being uploaded to youtube, and it has over 23 seasons in existence and youtube has maybe 12 of them
They are journalists not soldiers. I do not blame them for not being able to stop it. Not being able to react in time.
I like the firetruck shot of green grass and a forested background right before landing. That's a nice touch.
So much great work for realism, then something like that gets through the editors.
I love to watch mayday episodes , i am a pilot and i feel i can learn a lot with thoose episodes , after hundreds of it ,this is the most amazing episode i watched so far this guys are heroes , this is the worst situation i ever see someone to be able to land from it , yes there where worst situation in aviation , but none that i know the pilots have been able to land the plane , they are heroes , this is the worst situation i seen someone been able to land after . Edit : the Pilot listening to the copilot instructions was amazing , i know a bunch of pilots that would have refused to listen to copilots instructions just because they where more expirienced , the copilot in this case said a lot of facts that helped then safe the airplane , if the pilot refused to listen to him it would have been is doom , you both are heroes , has a pilot if one day i am in an emergency and may co pilot say something that makes sense i will 100% listen to him , dosent matter if i am more or less experienced , the other guy may have the solution , congratiulations to all the 3 of you guys , the engenier mantain his calm , the copilot gave accurate instroctions on what to do , and the pilot fly the airplane and did not ignore the other crew menbers insites
The crew of united 232 is legendary heroes they saved 190+ people
"You wouldnt think it was a dangerous job" -- let me stop you right there, I would absolutely think flying a metal tube with 100s of buttons with 1000s of controls and prompts where a single misinput can end everyone's life WAS a dangerous job.
Agreed! 😂
this is one of my top 5 episodes. the flying they did, and the footage that the military had.
I will go to aatc(airbus Asia training centre) to test my common sense to land a A300 with no yoke and flight instruments and no controls.
These guys deserved some kind of award for being so damn good.
They got the polaris award. The highest pilot award.
They literally did vruh
Thank goodness they all survived.
Damn that was a roller coaster
Huge, huge respect for that crew!!
I work with plenty of mail carriers for usps. Oh, you have no idea how dangerous it is.
They were ahead of their time landing the plane
The people criticizing the French journalists are taking the threat of terrorists and extremists too lightly.
Or perhaps, they're a bunch who prefers "heroes" than survivors.
lol, they think talking to terrorists would've convinced them to not shoot the plane.
There are some delusional people around
@@gundamnduke0 If they were able to do that, the world's government would've taken notice and used them already. But that wasn't the case.
Amazing feet of flying but both american and those pilots had one big advantage over japanese pilots, there were no mountains or high terrain, only desert, and smaller airplane then 747
Props to the crew for handling the plane like a man, its amazing how they handled the situation so easily. 👨✈️
The pilot actor with the white shirt.....is one handsome beast.
LOL! Dude at (3:35) speaks heavy Egyptian dialect and accent, and he’s supposed to be Iraqi!!😂.
it's probably a reenactment rather than real footage I assue
They were very lucky to survive. This case serves as an example on why parachutes should be on cargo planes as not only are there less people, the crew could also receive training on doing that as well.
Unfortunately, MH-17 wasn’t as fortunate as this flight. Small details can make the difference between life and death
Thank goodness anybody survive
If this was Aerosucre instead they would still have continued flying to their destination
38:35 Why do they look so slow?
38:40 Ryanair:you’re hired
Honestly after a job well-done after landing the plane then you hear that there are bombs on the ground, yesyes
No excitement any more when Mayday posts. This was a great episode when i saw it a fouple if months vack. Regurgitation.
[PCA research abandonment] i guess life threat, if its rare, its not worth preventing.
if it happen, eh.. well... whatever will be, will be. i guess...
like they say, the possibility is low afterall. like, consider them unlucky for being in that spot.
10:40 guys didn’t you see that it’s a DC-10?
Sir thats a L-1011
Ern look closer
This was already uploaded 3 months ago under a different title. Where is quality control? Happens a lot on this channel.

It's all to rake in ad revenue. This is a common practice on You Tube, and no one seems to care.
@@desertstar223 youtube is all in trying to stop adblockers, and doing nothing against the fakes and abusers on the platform gaming the system for effortless dollars
Nah bro, look at the first Officer He looks like cristiano ronaldo
Why cargo plane has no eject button for pilots?
this is the fourth time ive seen the exact same episode with different titles.
you have 311k subscribers, do better man
Im surprized that the a300 manage to land without hydrualics
yeah i saw this earlier
That climb and decent over and over keeps them out of site to the pigs on the ground!
None is still safe in these countries
Isn't there a flaw in suggesting using the PCA system for this accident? Assuming what was tested was an intact aircraft, it possibly may not account for a damaged aircraft, meaning that the calculations the PCA would make would be off, depending on the new center of balance on the airplane. If an actual pilot or flight controller could jump in here and tell me if I'm wrong about this, please do. I think PCA would have been an amazing upgrade for pilots and should've been implemented, but It may not have worked correctly for this landing.
I am a pilot , however i am not a native english speaker , what is a PCA ? if you tell me i would be able to give you more info about it
@@nalanewton the PCA system was a proposed system described in the video where you would give the command to the computer, and then the computer would use the engines to complete the turns. The video did not specify, however whether or not the computer would’ve taken into account the new aerodynamics and or center of gravity of the airplane, which, if not taken into account would In my opinion cause an over or under correction.
I feel like the system was probably designed to take in information about how the plane was flying, and would be able to compensate as required. I feel like the loss of all hydraulics would in nearly all cases come with some major structural damage no matter what, so trying to build software like this to NOT consider how the plane was actually flying would feel like wasted effort.
Did anybody else notice the dates on the videos changed at the end?
Why does this channel upload the same episode twice or more with different titles?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤very nice pilot
RIP CAPTAIN AL HAINES.
LOLz. The reporters got their story . . .
Are there any movie based on this story?
united 232 was like this too
Wow that Japan airlines crash was horrible! 500+ people died. What a tragedy
And many survived the impact. But there were fires. Followed by a cold night while rescue workers where climbing up the mountain. Only a handful made it out alive. Which is still remarkable for a non-survivable event. Which it was. (Japan Air Flight 123)
There was some controversy also. A nearby US military base had helicopters and rescue workers standing by minutes away but the Japanese government refused help and insisted on their own air force handling it, who handled it badly and took over 12h to airlift the first out, despite everyone knowing instantly where it had crashed. Many died in the night while the US personnel where waiting in fueled up helicopters for permission to rescue survivors. Eventually it was given the next day under public pressure. It ended up being a large stain on the government of the time. Especially the PM who had personally refused international assistance. It's still very controversial in some circles in Japan.
The story of that flight really gets to me. Those poor people.
Yes I agree that the pilots were incredible. But the terrorists deserve the maximum penalty if caught. I did not research it but I hope they were caught and punished
I knew they weren’t gonna crash cuz JCVD was the copilot
My question is why didnt a Helicopter fly over there and whack em all after the first missle?
Did they see the missile even? On radar maybe?
No interview with the reporter?
why reupload this?
Co Pilot was a prick. But given the circumstances I can’t blame him. 😂
how was the captain single
what happened to philipines airlines
Why the actor is Egyptian 😂 while it's in Iraq
If the wing broke off Jean Claude van damme coulda done the splits to replace it. No way that plane was gonna crash. Then he could spin kick the bad guys heads off. Lol he’s even Belgium like the real jcvd and the engineer isn’t he the same actor who played the captain that froze up and got everyone killed on the birgen air flight
El Al FLIGHT GUARD
Why haven't I seen the passengers
Cargo plane.
it's a DHL plane...
Some are just ignorant!!!
The goal of this, they had hoped that the jet was a airliner carrying 150+ people to die in a crash!!!
Had it crashed, it could have potentially crashed anywhere in iraq couldve taken out one of there leaders in one of there bases etc and it then would have killed potentially how ever many are in the base and 3 pilots?
Ignorance doesn’t make it far, maybe thats why bombers are famous
bro now my mail is involve in a warzone too?
Your mail would've had a killstreak if the plane crashed in the right spot lol
The Iraqis are good and peaceful people!
0:08 "you wouldnt think it was the most dangerous job in the world, delivering"
US military, 88M basic military truck driver, life expectancy is measured in days, not weeks and certainly not years
This was iraq
How they got all porn actors to be d pilots is a mystery
Religion of peace strikes again
When we are friends yes we are religion of peace.
but when you strike me and try to steal my land and home there is no peace anymore. There is only a religion of rest in peace. Baby
Resisting is not a thing related to religion even Christians and others will do the same if you touched them
If they had a plane with A RAT or ram air turbine they could have easily had control
But it hadn't existed yet
That’s not how it works, the ram air turbine is useless in that situation, with no hydraulic fluid it is impossible to manipulate the flight controls. The RAT is only used when there is no electrical power powering the hydraulic pumps, like when both engines are out, but the DHL crew had engine power so there was no point of having the RAT out.
@@22k_LOL uh no
I heard the RAT has its own backup stuff too
But i guess so
But honestly i think it could have helped
But fine
the RAT is only a backup the to electrical system and NOT the hydraulic system
/e pin
wont work lol 💀💀😂
are you kidding me?? this is not the video for jokes, jesus christ.
Слава США!
LOL... that word "Tarmac", 3:55 ... there is no Tarmac at modern airports anymore. Media needs to stop using the term.
There are Aprons, Runways, Taxiways, Ramps and Aircraft Stands.
from an expert on Quora: “Tarmac” is a word used by the media and other non-aviation sources to refer to the surface of an airport. The word “Tarmac” is not used in professional circles and is meaningless in the aviation world. Tarmac is short for Tarmacadam, a crude paving material invented over 100 years ago that is not appropriate for modern airport surfaces.
Cool story. It's popular slang that even people in the Aviation industry use
J
Why is there not a fire extinguisher on the outside of the helicopter that could spray the plane and put out the fire.
Lmao
that wouldn't close up the leaks and fill the lines back up with hydraulic fluid
The apatches can’t even catch up to the A300 and spraying fire retardants at that speed would not have done anything.
2nd comment
Imagine having your house raided and destroyed in the middle of the night and having relatives or friends in torture chambers. Would you not want to destroy these people?
We know who the real terrorists were.
You must be talking about Saddam
Because America is not doing anything like that
Plus the terrorist primarily murdered other Iraqis
@@jonathanwilliams1065we (Americans) did all that.
Everyone who ever were present with those terrorists is responsible for this incident
No lol they are not. What are a bunch of un armed journalists supposed to do lol
Geneva convection law says. Any country has right to defend their country if second country invade it. So how they are terrorists they did not attacked. They are in their own country and defending by doing any thing . We misunderstood the meaning of terrorists
America controls the narrative
a terrorist is a person who uses unnecessary violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. this was not a plane invading, it didn't have military personnel on it either. ironically no one on the plane was even american..so yeah they're terrorists.
Cool story. These groups attacked civilians more than military targets
Islamist terrorist try not to label terrorism as "defending yourself", challenge impossible.
Great episode. The riveting onscene video makes it a standout
You don't need to be in Iraq for this to happen. The Russians shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in Ukraine on July 17, 2014.
At 5:59 why did ya'll put his whole tinder bio. to the public? 🤣🤣
Unbelievable courage team work ❤❤❤
Did they expect the journalists to jump in front of the missiles?
Terrorists were speaking Arabic in the Egyptian accent
Madness beyond limits
The suspense was ruined when you showed them alive on the runway before it even started
and who are they interviewing? talking corpses?
Every aviation incident turns out as a lesson for the aviation industry to develop more. Huge respect to the crew
the first officer has similar face features as jude law
So what happened to the second missile?
The missile missed
Funny gow the journalist knew the location for a meeting with the leader of a terrorist group, and dodnt tell anyone so that the guy can be captured.
And risk getting killed because she told on them?
This time, Airbus told me that all aircrafts are using fly by wire system.
it would be nicer if you actually got Iraqis I can tell they are not by their dialect
Well to be fair the original episode was made in 2003 so I’m not sure if they could’ve done that at the time
@@RM43 2005, but likely still true
So the plane splat in half ?
