I like these compilation episodes, they condense each story down to the main points and focus on the investigation, which is the reason I watch this show in the first place. I used to watch Forensic Files back in the day for the same reason, I find the scientific and logical methods in putting together what happened fascinating.
I agree, many are padded out with the stories of people on the plane, which can be interesting but sometimes there is too much padding to make the episode longer. I was pleasantly surprised there were 3 investigations in this one video. It was well put together and concise. 🙏
Agreed! Whenever they pad the episode with D-quality actors doing mediocre reenactments, I’m always hitting “fast forward”. The compilations are much better. However…if they managed to hire Dateline’s Keith Morrison to do the narration, I’d watch their overly-padded episodes ALL NIGHT LONG. Morrison could read the dictionary for all I care. He has THE BEST voice on TV.
Well, these cases are ones that were relatively simple. So stretching each into an hour long ep would've been annoying. But most of the other cases kinda need all that time to explain all the developments.
Free falling in a plane must be the most terrifying way to go. The anger, sadness and regret for getting on that plane know your imminent death while waiting for impact. You just pray the impact is what kills you and not fire. RIP to all those on board who lost their lives 🙏🏻♥️
Bomb detector -beep beep beep, baggage claim guy - it's not the right sound even even though none of the other bags make any noise let's put it on the plane 😳
Back in that day, certain instruments could make sounds for no reason at all, or could make one type of noise for something hazardous, and another for something harmless. The rushed instructions were probably somewhat to blame - if the instructor had said "if this makes any noise, separate the bag," that probably would have prevented the problem. Still, hindsight is always 20/20, but foresight not so much.

Bleach is quite a dangerous liquid on its own. The fumes are toxic to most people - why would you leave bleach in baggage in the first place. It’s cheap, easily obtainable - the security person should have confiscated it anyway. Wouldn’t most people, security or not, find that it shouldn’t go on board? I don’t know why anyone would buy two bottles of bleach, let alone have it in cabin luggage? 🤔
Its so gut wrenching to know that incidents like the 1st story has to happen in order for air flights to be safer in all ends. Im not speaking of mechanical, but hijacked issues.
Often times it takes several bad accidents for people to take health and safety laws seriously. The amount of nightclub fires, stampedes etc around the world wouldn't have happened if governments had taken the necessary safety steps that were expected of them and that other countries were doing for years prior. Kiss nightclub fire and seoul crush for example.
Probably one of the reasons why they don't do that anymore. Now we all complain about how small the limits are for bringing liquids onboard. Well, this is why that rule is there.
As a frequent traveller, way too many planes take off with my bags and with much stress and frustration without me so I think these baggage rules introduced after Air India aren't followed as much as people think
Hi I work at the airport :) Bags aren’t allowed to be checked in unless we know the passengers flying. When the plane is delayed, or u miss ur flight etc. Ur bag can fly w/o u bc our systems confirmed when and with who u’ll eventually fly. So yes the procedure & checks are done properly. Esp after 9/11 we have to. The regulation states that Luggage cannot be checked in unless the passenger is checked in & confirmed to fly. It doesnt have to specifically be w/ a passenger onboard but it has to be confirmed that its checked in w/ a passenger who is or will eventually be flying :)
@@CaIiforniaL0VE Not sure about that. I was flying to Bolivia from Montreal and landed in Miami, in March 2002 (6 months after 9/11) and I had missed my plane with AA to LaPaz. I had checked-in my luggage and was waiting for a later flight to LaPaz (9 hr layover). I boarded the later flight and arrived in LaPaz early morning the next day. I was looking for my luggage on the carrousel and couldn't find it. I asked luggage service to help and a lady working in baggage claim walked me into a storage room where I found my luggage. It turns out that my luggage arrived before and without me on a previous flight. So, please explain what might have gone wrong?
@@ejcash7234 Well, you *did* eventually fly, then. So that's exactly what CaliforniaL0VE said - it doesn't necessarily have to be on the same flight as you are, but as long as you do fly...
@@ejcash7234 thats cos u were confirmed to fly, the reverse also happens where the passenger flies and their luggage would be sent on another flight behind it, what doesnt happen is a luggage flying with no passenger.
Me either, but they learned from the errors in the past. That should give us enough confidence. I fly three to four times a year with two being international flights 😅
Just remember that every time you get into a car, you’re facing a much, much higher risk than a plane. Your odds of dying in a plane crash are 1 in 1.2 million, compared to 1 in 5,000 for being in a fatal car accident. Plane accidents are incredibly rare and taken very seriously, all of the accidents you’ve heard about were learned from and are part of the reason why air travel is so safe today. Of course it still carries a risk, but so does any action you take in life.
I dunno. I think watching these shows me just how much effort this industry puts into stopping any and all causes of crashes. Really interesting example was TACA Flight 110 where the engines flamed out because they flew through a thunderstorm with the engines at low throttle, and they were only tested at high throttle. Then more recently, Qantas flight 32 landed with one engine that refused to shut down. The firies tried blasting water down the front of the engine (while it was at idle) with one of their high volume water canons and the engine refused to shut down. Clearly plane engines' testing has been changed so that even at idle, they can handle some pretty torrential rain.
I know for a fact that a US based airline took off with my bag and I wasn’t on the flight. I arrived early enough and checked in my bags and never made it to the terminal to board. It was an international flight and i was marked a ‘no show’. They went in about how it was my fault and they may not be about to put me on another flight until well after the holidays. I said okay and what not then asked for my checked in bags to go home and they were all looking at me. They eventually put me on another flight and I made the trip. Didn’t see my bags until reaching final destination.
In Australia, if a passenger fails to board on time, then the flight is delayed whilst that passenger's luggage is unloaded from the cargo hold. I've been on flights whilst that happens, the delays have sometimes taken ~15 minutes.

Im sorry they made u feel like that
For the life of me, I'll never, ever, understand why passengers use aircrafts to transport all sorts of household products. Get to your home, then take your car, or the bus, or a cab, go to a store and buy your freaking cleaning products and go back home. Don't take an airplane to do basic shopping!
Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 1771 was estimated to have been traveling at 770 miles per hour (1,240 kilometers per hour) when it crashed into a hillside in the Santa Lucia Mountains near Paso Robles and Cayucos at 4:16 PM. The plane disintegrated instantly after hitting the rocky ground.
Wow, you figured out all by yourself that PSA 1771 'disintegrated instantly' after vertical impact with hard ground at 1240 km/hr? FFS, do you think everybody else needs to be TOLD this?
How can an employee who's been fired still keep their credentials?? Why weren't they forced to give them up at the time of termination? That's the biggest no-brainer ever.
Bc something like that never happened before. Sadly in Aviation everythings regulated after something happens. If we get fired now, we have to IMMEDIATELY turn in our security badge (I work at the airport) In our trainings we HAD to watch a video about this flight & had an examination about this exact incident, why we turn in our badges & how it changed regulations
I feel kind of sorry for that airline employee who allowed that bag with the bomb through when she broke the rule. She is responsible for all those deaths. She must feel so guilty and can never escape it. I wouldnt want to be in her shoes.
David Burke could just move to another state with his family and with the remaining money. Starting a new life is better than committing THAT... Or he could just unalive his boss at night near his house, but not on a plane😢
I was in Frankfurt Germany once boarding a Lufthansa flight to Atlanta. There was a bomb threat called in and they put all the luggage on the ground and everyone had to point out their luggage and then board the plane and only then was your luggage loaded. This way if you had something that was going to blow up in your bags, you were damn sure going to have a front row seat to the event. Thankfully, nothing blew up but it's a sickening feeling knowing a bomb threat was called in on the plane you're ridingon. 😂😅
I work at LAX and theres a bomb threat every few months! 98% of the time its a false alarm but every time it happens its a hassle bc every bag, passenger, worker etc we ALL exit the airport & stand outside until its investigated thoroughly.
on a flight I took two years ago from Denver to California, they let my bag fly to California before I did. It got there hours before I even left Denver🤦🏾♀️ I always think of Air India when I remember that
A Nigerian DC-3 of OGIBUBUGUJU Airlines ( a domestic carrier) flying between the capital Lagos and Kaduna state crashed after the Captain had a stomach bacterial infection/food poisoning. He stood up in the cockpit and accidentally diarrhea on the central console causing a short circuit in the electrical system. The plane’s magnetos ( it was a piston engined radial job) failed and the aircraft made a forced landing in the jungle. INCREDIBLY!!!! Everyone survived.
@@NateCooper111 If you’re lucky enough to get there, I’d like to ask your opinion then, but I’ll be long dead in my grave and I won’t get the chance. Lucky you.
I worked for the company that handled Air India's cargo. We got a transfer of diplomatic cargo, and it was run out to the aircraft and loaded onto the last LD-3 going into the belly. The rest is history. Dip mail is MUST GO on the first available so as soon as we got it, it was in the jeep and off to Terminal 2 at Pearson. No one had a chance to look at it or even think about in Toronto.
Not long after the Air India disaster we flew Toronto to Gatwick with them. The security was horrendous, 3 security searches and the plane was gated right near the airport security fence well away from other aircraft. As we taxied out the RCMP drove along under each wing. They peeled away as we entering the runway.

@@eco_man_8652 This show is about airplane accidents. There's one episode about a train accident and one about a ferry, but that's it. As for the original question, "hate" is a strong word. I prefer the single-accident episodes, but I certainly don't mind these episodes with thematically related accidents.
@@eco_man_8652 Except he is *NOT* the only one, there are hundreds of comments in relation to how people really do not like these types of documentaries. I, too, much prefer the single crash vids as they are much more detailed.
9:52 I like how, when they reacted the situation that the whole is about few years inches deep when, if a plane were to hit like that, it’d be 7 feet deep minimum
We are so goofy with our false sense of security you guys realize when I worked for Everts as the person who just answered the phone... Employees like McDonald's employees we just go in the airport... We can go through any door... We have no reason to be in that airport in Anchorage Alaska but we can go through the airport and no issue whatsoever... I found myself in some places I'm like man if I had nefarious intentions... We're not going to stop people who are motivated all we are doing is inconveniencing ourselves for false sense of security
23:37 the actress doing the role of the ticket agent is she the same one who did the role of one of the flight attendants on the episode documenting the disaster of Flight 4184
You’d be surprised that security is still not that tight at airports in regards to their employees. As someone who used to work in the ramp, at a smaller city airport, we didn’t have to go through security. I think some ramp agents didn’t have to go through security in larger airports either because a few years ago, ramp agents out of ATL were smuggling guns on Delta flights.
Regarding the first story, So you are telling me the aircraft is absolutely crashed into small pieces and the fingerprints on that gun is still recoverable? U gotta be kidding me🤷🏻♂️
And this happened in a neighboring country to mine recently: "Air Serbia has filed a complaint against Podgorica Airport after its flight JU173 from the Montenegrin capital to Belgrade was delayed last Friday evening when a passenger cleared security with TWO GAS CARTRIDGES in her carry-on bag, which she reported to have with her to the cabin crew after boarding and prior to departure. The passenger, who is a mountaineer and used the gas cartridges for her kettle dela, passed security at Podgorica Airport but was not asked about the items. After she reported them to the cabin crew the captain called the police and the items were removed from the aircraft. The Civil Aviation Agency of Montenegro has determined that the security staff member checking bags at the airport made an error and has been fined 150 euros for the omission." 💀💀💀

This is rather an unaswered question I have uncovered in regards to PSA 1771. Had the flight attendant not opened the door to the flight deck would A) The plane be flyable and B) Would it even be possible for David Burke to get inside and into the flight deck These two questions often left me stumped. From the outside perspective it may be quick to assume that the plane would land without incident had the flight attendant not opened the door but i want to see your guys take about this.
@@godloves1821 The flight attendant could've communicated via the intercom but didn't. Would there be a reason for opening the door instead of the intercom?
The 3rd incident of the athele.. athelete was guilty regardless. We r responsible for our luggages. He planned it as evidenced by: 1. he disclosed to the security check point that it was cleaning solution - but investigators found out it was gasoline. 2. athlete said to the court that he didnt know that his relatives added cleaning solution in his luggage - yet he sounded he knew it was in his luggage because he disclosed at the check point why he had them. (Cant he buy cleaning stuff at his destination?). Also the security check point officer didnt do his job correctly.
I was working as ground personal in two airports - a small one and big one. In big airport there is a separate entrance wirh scanner and so on for the agents but in small one we had to use the same as passangers. The passangers are rude, the most of them make a drama if the employees want to go without standing in line, even wirhout us they can't to on the board. In big airport there was once the situation that young filmmaker group decided to spare money and take the equipment as baggage on the same flights. They have a small diesel generator with some diesel in! And some big Li-accumulators also which exeeded the allowed volume. The group went from plead to threaten. It is crazy how the people behave in the airport.
Always remember that there are no such thing as a Neglected Baggage inspection when considering how super strict it is the only way for it to pass through is if someone lets it in on purpose. And if you are on board the the same plane that was destined to be blown then see you in paradise.
It is unfortunate that employers in general don't take the time to get to know their employees. While I completely disagree with the way he handled the situation, you never know what David was going through at the time. It's always best to find out and try to help, while still sticking to the rules. If I were in the supervisors shoes, I most likely would've handled the whole situation a little differently. He may still have been let go, but I would have done everything I could to try to help him out. Unfortunately these details are ultimately missing from this documentary. We will never know what David may have been going through. Or what his motivations for stealing the money to begin with ultimately were.
Burke saying: I am the problem Definitely raises my eyebrow, I feel like it was written by someone who said “ oh, it would be cool if he said this” as I highly doubt he would be able to improv that. But yet again, that could be something he actually said. We’ll never know unless I’ll actually be able to hear the black box recording (which I highly doubt because the actors dub it themselves
How come the black and white photos from the cctv is not like the playback video….theres nobody behind the criminal. Suspicious, is it the one checking the or allowing the back work together with the criminal?
Didn’t they find his finger in the trigger? I’m guessing after he put the plane in a dive, he shot himself. It’s possible to have is finger severed into the trigger hold of the weapon after impact.
Most likely the scenario back then, at one point pilots had to travel to their departing airport and the could live in a hold different state. The airlines didn't care if they slept 8 hours
Sadly in Aviation, everythings regulated after something happens. If we get fired or quit now, we have to IMMEDIATELY turn in our security badge (I work at the airport) In our Employee trainings before we got hired, they make every future airline employee watch a video about the first flight. Right after watching, we had an exam about the incident, why we turn in our badges immediately & how that one flight changed regulation completely.
but what really leads to people that do such thing??? What do they benefit from dying with other innocent people in this crushes??? I'm failing to understand this.
The first case, maybe so the blame would fall on the boss. "This is the boss's fault many people die! If he hadn't fired me, this wouldn't have happened!"
David Burke, wow, what a coward! He breaks the law, steals money from his employer, and yet it's everyone else's fault!

The fact that the flight attendant opened the cockpit door was opened instead of keeping it closed knowing the risk. Shocks me.

Cockpits should be only opened from the inside or remotely. It also needs to house video surveillance that’s sent directly to the TSA & the cockpit.

Not to mention that it's dangerous to the employee, and many people don't have a good sense of smell in the first place.
Probably one of the reasons why they don't do that anymore. Now we all complain about how small the limits are for bringing liquids onboard. Well, this is why that rule is there.
As a frequent traveller, way too many planes take off with my bags and with much stress and frustration without me so I think these baggage rules introduced after Air India aren't followed as much as people think
Hi I work at the airport :) Bags aren’t allowed to be checked in unless we know the passengers flying. When the plane is delayed, or u miss ur flight etc. Ur bag can fly w/o u bc our systems confirmed when and with who u’ll eventually fly. So yes the procedure & checks are done properly. Esp after 9/11 we have to.
The regulation states that Luggage cannot be checked in unless the passenger is checked in & confirmed to fly. It doesnt have to specifically be w/ a passenger onboard but it has to be confirmed that its checked in w/ a passenger who is or will eventually be flying :)
@@CaIiforniaL0VE Not sure about that. I was flying to Bolivia from Montreal and landed in Miami, in March 2002 (6 months after 9/11) and I had missed my plane with AA to LaPaz. I had checked-in my luggage and was waiting for a later flight to LaPaz (9 hr layover). I boarded the later flight and arrived in LaPaz early morning the next day. I was looking for my luggage on the carrousel and couldn't find it. I asked luggage service to help and a lady working in baggage claim walked me into a storage room where I found my luggage. It turns out that my luggage arrived before and without me on a previous flight. So, please explain what might have gone wrong?
@@ejcash7234 Well, you *did* eventually fly, then. So that's exactly what CaliforniaL0VE said - it doesn't necessarily have to be on the same flight as you are, but as long as you do fly...
@@ejcash7234 thats cos u were confirmed to fly, the reverse also happens where the passenger flies and their luggage would be sent on another flight behind it, what doesnt happen is a luggage flying with no passenger.

Just remember that every time you get into a car, you’re facing a much, much higher risk than a plane. Your odds of dying in a plane crash are 1 in 1.2 million, compared to 1 in 5,000 for being in a fatal car accident. Plane accidents are incredibly rare and taken very seriously, all of the accidents you’ve heard about were learned from and are part of the reason why air travel is so safe today. Of course it still carries a risk, but so does any action you take in life.
I dunno. I think watching these shows me just how much effort this industry puts into stopping any and all causes of crashes.
Really interesting example was TACA Flight 110 where the engines flamed out because they flew through a thunderstorm with the engines at low throttle, and they were only tested at high throttle. Then more recently, Qantas flight 32 landed with one engine that refused to shut down. The firies tried blasting water down the front of the engine (while it was at idle) with one of their high volume water canons and the engine refused to shut down. Clearly plane engines' testing has been changed so that even at idle, they can handle some pretty torrential rain.
I know for a fact that a US based airline took off with my bag and I wasn’t on the flight. I arrived early enough and checked in my bags and never made it to the terminal to board. It was an international flight and i was marked a ‘no show’.
They went in about how it was my fault and they may not be about to put me on another flight until well after the holidays.
I said okay and what not then asked for my checked in bags to go home and they were all looking at me. They eventually put me on another flight and I made the trip. Didn’t see my bags until reaching final destination.
I had that in 1980 -- I missed boarding. My bag went on anyway.
I think they’re supposed to have protocols for that - not flying your items if you aren’t on the flight (especially if it’s an international one)
In Australia, if a passenger fails to board on time, then the flight is delayed whilst that passenger's luggage is unloaded from the cargo hold. I've been on flights whilst that happens, the delays have sometimes taken ~15 minutes.
What year was this?
Hi I work at the airport checking in international flights :) When the plane is delayed, or u miss ur flight etc. Ur bag can fly w/o u bc we know u’ll eventually fly. So yes the procedure & checks are done properly. Esp after 9/11 we have to.

Im sorry they made u feel like that
For the life of me, I'll never, ever, understand why passengers use aircrafts to transport all sorts of household products. Get to your home, then take your car, or the bus, or a cab, go to a store and buy your freaking cleaning products and go back home. Don't take an airplane to do basic shopping!
Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 1771 was estimated to have been traveling at 770 miles per hour (1,240 kilometers per hour) when it crashed into a hillside in the Santa Lucia Mountains near Paso Robles and Cayucos at 4:16 PM. The plane disintegrated instantly after hitting the rocky ground.
Wow, you figured out all by yourself that PSA 1771 'disintegrated instantly' after vertical impact with hard ground at 1240 km/hr? FFS, do you think everybody else needs to be TOLD this?

How can an employee who's been fired still keep their credentials?? Why weren't they forced to give them up at the time of termination? That's the biggest no-brainer ever.
Bc something like that never happened before. Sadly in Aviation everythings regulated after something happens. If we get fired now, we have to IMMEDIATELY turn in our security badge (I work at the airport) In our trainings we HAD to watch a video about this flight & had an examination about this exact incident, why we turn in our badges & how it changed regulations
Flight 1771 crashed in San Luis Obispo County near Cayucos Dec 7, 1987. The force of the impact meant any remains were very small.
No one asked pal .. get a clue buster before this becomes a problem
I feel kind of sorry for that airline employee who allowed that bag with the bomb through when she broke the rule. She is responsible for all those deaths. She must feel so guilty and can never escape it. I wouldnt want to be in her shoes.
Feel sorry? Just do your job wouldn’t have happened she’s a pos
David Burke could just move to another state with his family and with the remaining money. Starting a new life is better than committing THAT... Or he could just unalive his boss at night near his house, but not on a plane😢
I was in Frankfurt Germany once boarding a Lufthansa flight to Atlanta. There was a bomb threat called in and they put all the luggage on the ground and everyone had to point out their luggage and then board the plane and only then was your luggage loaded. This way if you had something that was going to blow up in your bags, you were damn sure going to have a front row seat to the event. Thankfully, nothing blew up but it's a sickening feeling knowing a bomb threat was called in on the plane you're ridingon. 😂😅
I’d miss my flight if I knew that!
Seems rather dubious if you ask me.
I work at LAX and theres a bomb threat every few months! 98% of the time its a false alarm but every time it happens its a hassle bc every bag, passenger, worker etc we ALL exit the airport & stand outside until its investigated thoroughly.
Big mistake!!!Employees should be scanned too.
on a flight I took two years ago from Denver to California, they let my bag fly to California before I did. It got there hours before I even left Denver🤦🏾♀️ I always think of Air India when I remember that
3:06 I thought pilots couldn't wear glasses. They had to have 20/20 vision 🤔
A Nigerian DC-3 of OGIBUBUGUJU Airlines ( a domestic carrier) flying between the capital Lagos and Kaduna state crashed after the Captain had a stomach bacterial infection/food poisoning. He stood up in the cockpit and accidentally diarrhea on the central console causing a short circuit in the electrical system. The plane’s magnetos ( it was a piston engined radial job) failed and the aircraft made a forced landing in the jungle. INCREDIBLY!!!! Everyone survived.

If you’re lucky enough to get there, I’d like to ask your opinion then, but I’ll be long dead in my grave and I won’t get the chance. Lucky you.
I worked for the company that handled Air India's cargo. We got a transfer of diplomatic cargo, and it was run out to the aircraft and loaded onto the last LD-3 going into the belly. The rest is history. Dip mail is MUST GO on the first available so as soon as we got it, it was in the jeep and off to Terminal 2 at Pearson. No one had a chance to look at it or even think about in Toronto.
Not long after the Air India disaster we flew Toronto to Gatwick with them. The security was horrendous, 3 security searches and the plane was gated right near the airport security fence well away from other aircraft. As we taxied out the RCMP drove along under each wing. They peeled away as we entering the runway.

We are so goofy with our false sense of security you guys realize when I worked for Everts as the person who just answered the phone... Employees like McDonald's employees we just go in the airport... We can go through any door... We have no reason to be in that airport in Anchorage Alaska but we can go through the airport and no issue whatsoever... I found myself in some places I'm like man if I had nefarious intentions... We're not going to stop people who are motivated all we are doing is inconveniencing ourselves for false sense of security
I will be sure to provide the link to this next time I hear that TSA is theater or someone giving them a hard time. Each story is so terribly sad 😢
Okay, I know this is a serious documentary, but I just can't ignore how *extremely stock-sounding* those gunshots are.

Hey as long as you're a celebrity athlete bring whatever you want on a plane
You’d be surprised that security is still not that tight at airports in regards to their employees. As someone who used to work in the ramp, at a smaller city airport, we didn’t have to go through security. I think some ramp agents didn’t have to go through security in larger airports either because a few years ago, ramp agents out of ATL were smuggling guns on Delta flights.
Regarding the first story,
So you are telling me the aircraft is absolutely crashed into small pieces and the fingerprints on that gun is still recoverable? U gotta be kidding me🤷🏻♂️
And this happened in a neighboring country to mine recently:
"Air Serbia has filed a complaint against Podgorica Airport after its flight JU173 from the Montenegrin capital to Belgrade was delayed last Friday evening when a passenger cleared security with TWO GAS CARTRIDGES in her carry-on bag, which she reported to have with her to the cabin crew after boarding and prior to departure. The passenger, who is a mountaineer and used the gas cartridges for her kettle dela, passed security at Podgorica Airport but was not asked about the items. After she reported them to the cabin crew the captain called the police and the items were removed from the aircraft. The Civil Aviation Agency of Montenegro has determined that the security staff member checking bags at the airport made an error and has been fined 150 euros for the omission." 💀💀💀

That's why I never fly ever. I take the car, bus or boat after 50 years never had an incident in any of them
This is rather an unaswered question I have uncovered in regards to PSA 1771.
Had the flight attendant not opened the door to the flight deck would A) The plane be flyable and B) Would it even be possible for David Burke to get inside and into the flight deck
These two questions often left me stumped.
From the outside perspective it may be quick to assume that the plane would land without incident had the flight attendant not opened the door but i want to see your guys take about this.
Cockpits weren't locked until 2001
@@godloves1821 The flight attendant could've communicated via the intercom but didn't. Would there be a reason for opening the door instead of the intercom?
All the more reasons why I would never set foot on an airplane!
The 3rd incident of the athele.. athelete was guilty regardless. We r responsible for our luggages.
He planned it as evidenced by: 1. he disclosed to the security check point that it was cleaning solution - but investigators found out it was gasoline.
2. athlete said to the court that he didnt know that his relatives added cleaning solution in his luggage - yet he sounded he knew it was in his luggage because he disclosed at the check point why he had them. (Cant he buy cleaning stuff at his destination?).
Also the security check point officer didnt do his job correctly.
Insider threat is still very real. Any airline employee, with even marginal intelligence, can still get a weapon on a plane if that's their intent.
The last one - everyone on that plane is lucky that didn’t explode until after they landed! 😳
In the case of flight Uni 873, way there's no more investigation of why the bleaches bottles contained gasoline?
He stole! He deserve to get fired they should tak his employer id bf he left the meeting!
I was working as ground personal in two airports - a small one and big one. In big airport there is a separate entrance wirh scanner and so on for the agents but in small one we had to use the same as passangers. The passangers are rude, the most of them make a drama if the employees want to go without standing in line, even wirhout us they can't to on the board. In big airport there was once the situation that young filmmaker group decided to spare money and take the equipment as baggage on the same flights. They have a small diesel generator with some diesel in! And some big Li-accumulators also which exeeded the allowed volume. The group went from plead to threaten. It is crazy how the people behave in the airport.
Always remember that there are no such thing as a Neglected Baggage inspection when considering how super strict it is the only way for it to pass through is if someone lets it in on purpose. And if you are on board the the same plane that was destined to be blown then see you in paradise.
747's may not fall out of the sky but thier engines are known too.....
It is unfortunate that employers in general don't take the time to get to know their employees. While I completely disagree with the way he handled the situation, you never know what David was going through at the time. It's always best to find out and try to help, while still sticking to the rules. If I were in the supervisors shoes, I most likely would've handled the whole situation a little differently. He may still have been let go, but I would have done everything I could to try to help him out. Unfortunately these details are ultimately missing from this documentary. We will never know what David may have been going through. Or what his motivations for stealing the money to begin with ultimately were.
With the uni flight, how and who brought the motorcycle battery on the plane?
Good question and more important at all:
Why there were toguether: gasoline and battery?
I can not believe that the flight attendant opened that door....🤦🤦🤦
Does anybody else doubt this version of a crash? How can it be that tons of steel, engines, tires ... just vanish? It's not possible.
Burke saying: I am the problem
Definitely raises my eyebrow, I feel like it was written by someone who said “ oh, it would be cool if he said this” as I highly doubt he would be able to improv that. But yet again, that could be something he actually said. We’ll never know unless I’ll actually be able to hear the black box recording (which I highly doubt because the actors dub it themselves
As much as I would like the security line to be shorter and move quicker, I still don't think they did a thorough check.
How come the black and white photos from the cctv is not like the playback video….theres nobody behind the criminal. Suspicious, is it the one checking the or allowing the back work together with the criminal?
Ohh David, you silly silly man
No way 14:06 they found the note, skin and could life a print. Hmmmmmm
Didn’t they find his finger in the trigger? I’m guessing after he put the plane in a dive, he shot himself. It’s possible to have is finger severed into the trigger hold of the weapon after impact.
I remember this incident and a photograph in the news showing a finger in the trigger mechanism.
It's very possible
How do people travel on planes? They don't even look safe.
Well, malfunctions/ malfunctioning over land and over water is not an option from/to southwest 😬😬😬😬
When they commute between cities are they getting paid? Cant imagine sitting on a plane for a 4hr commute and not getting paid
Most likely the scenario back then, at one point pilots had to travel to their departing airport and the could live in a hold different state. The airlines didn't care if they slept 8 hours
Unreal they didnt demand an answer as why somwone brought bottles of gas on a plane . What an idiot what gross negligence on part of security
Sadly in Aviation, everythings regulated after something happens. If we get fired or quit now, we have to IMMEDIATELY turn in our security badge (I work at the airport) In our Employee trainings before we got hired, they make every future airline employee watch a video about the first flight. Right after watching, we had an exam about the incident, why we turn in our badges immediately & how that one flight changed regulation completely.
This is 2024. All planes must record video.
The Taiwan incident seems like another final destination scene
What’s going to happen next that will cause the screening procedures to be updated? I’ll stay on the ground.
