4th October 1992
Two engines fall off a Boeing 747, just moments after takeoff from Amsterdam. The pilots fight desperately for control, as their aircraft struggles to stay aloft. To make matters worse, they don’t even know that their engines have literally detached from the wing.
Beneath them, residents of Amsterdam watch on in horror, as the stricken jumbo limps back towards the airport. Will the pilots make it, or will time run out before they can wrangle their massive jet back to the airport? This is the story of El Al cargo flight 1862.

What software do you use to create these simulations?

You didn't mention the absolute best unique feature the Opera has - workspaces on the left bar.

Haha, Opera was made in the year 1995
I'm amazed how calm that last radio call was. Just professionalism until the end
both pilot and co-pilot were in the Israeli air force for many years
I found that most pilots are very calm until the very end, all of them truly believe they can make it back safely. Which is a great mindset to have. They don't have time to process that they are about to pass away in the two seconds from "we're going to do this" and "We're going down". That's my theory I guess.
I wouldn't want a pilot who couldn't think they could get their stricken plane back safely.
@@Sniff_Jenkem there's a story on one of these channels about two pilots that were flying with an empty airliner and thought they'd have a bit of fun, they did reckless rollercoaster maneuvers and flew above the plane's service ceiling, and managed to destroy both engines in the process.
despite all that, in their final seconds gliding towards a residential area, they were completely focused on reducing casualties on the ground by finding the emptiest spot they could, and keeping the gear up which is basically suicide for them. they were idiots but they worked together to prevent taking anyone out with them.
@@unflexianI know the exact incident you're talking about, but I cannot recall the flight!!!! I remember it taking off from somewhere in Arkansas heading to Minneapolis I believe.
@@MrHav1k Pinnacle Airlines flight 3701. I remember MP and MACI did videos on that.
".....There is no instrument that tells you if your engines fall off....." LOL. Priceless commentary. Well played, sir.
its not that hard to make one. probably couldn't use it due to vibrations.
Would think You Could See Fuel Flow Rise sharply, Don't know if Shuts Fuel off Automatically. Think a Couple Cameras, 1 Each Side To See Wings, Engines, Landing Gear could be Nice.
@@randyaivaz3356 I think the A380s have cameras as can be seen on TH-cam but I'm not sure if its standard on all of them. And kinda contradicts themselves, i'm sure there's a fuel flow safety cut off or the pilots may have cut off the fuel when they got the fire alarm.
RPM suddenly goes to 0, so does the oil pressure, oil temp, turbine temp, exhaust temp, fuel pressure, etc. Or, all of those instruments behave erratically due to the short circuits in their severed electric connections to the engines. Obviously the flight engineer had to know, the engines are destroyed, at least.
They probably only knew that they lost the instrument connection to the engines. It could just be more normal causes such as the turbine blades severing those connections and controls. Partially disintegrated and exploded engines may cause all those problems, but they can't tell until serious trim changes become apparent.
My confidence in Boeing erodes with every new Green Dot video

🤣🤣🤣
I don’t need to wait for a video, I just see the news
I mean with what I have heard with Airbus as well both are a bit well iffy and make Concorde look safe. I mean it was but.
it's a shame that the passion you see in the engineers who work on Boeing aircraft, and the positive sentiment held by pilots and passengers alike for some of the most iconic planes in the world, all amounts to nothing in the face of human lives that are lost as a result of Boeing's negligence
There's a bit more to this. The defects were due to cutting corners on routine engine maintenance, causing pressure on the joint it wasn't designed for - the engines were not removed and supported properly to save time.
"Cutting corners" and taking every possible shortcut is an Israeli cultural trait. The Hannibal Directive, for example, is really just a shortcut, however murderously ugly. Scott Ritter nailed it perfectly: "The state of Israel is itself a shortcut."
@@chrislantos you had me until "Scott Ritter".
@@memyself717 I think what he meant was, it is their shortcut to a more complete international control of their criminal and banking activities. Back in the 80's an agent with the FBI discovered that all major trials of organized crime led back to that country. So in his report he called it the "the Promised Land of organized crime".
@@chrislantos thanks for your propaganda. Long live Israel.
@@chrislantosI’m not sure if that paragraph would sound any better even if you didn’t quote a convicted child predator and Putin loyalist

Wow. Throughout the video I thought this was going to be a miracle story. Cant believe it went so wrong. I hope the crew and passenger are resting in peace, knowing their sacrifice made such a huge change to the safety of the industry for us all.

RIP to those fine aviators, they fought a hopeless battle to the end and never gave up. Even the final radio call wasn’t panicked . Respect to El Al for their excellent pilots and training.
RIP to those on the ground.
could the pilots have survived this if they tried to land with the too much speed?
Stop lying. Nothing about this was handled well.
@verbal_DKsaid the capitan with 3 million flight hours..have some shame
@@pathfinder5190Lancaster down 😂
@verbal_DKInsulting these fine pilots because you don’t like Israel is honestly pretty shameful. They didn’t knew the extent of the damage to their aircraft and acted like every pilot is trained. If you have a double engine failure the cause of action is to return to the airport immideatly. But leave it to the TH-cam commentator with 0 flight hours to lecture senior Boeing 747 crew members on how to act in emergencies.
In the Netherlands we all know this incident as the Bijlmer ramp. young or old, native or none native, everyone in our country is formiliar with this horror incident. One of the darkest days in the dutch aviation history. 43 people who didnt survive and hundreds upon hunderds of people traumatized for the rest of their life's. I have no direct involvement with this crash, i live no where near amsterdam, but everytime i hear the last atc traffic of this flight i get chills all over my body. We will not forget, Rest in peace to all involved.
Exactly. The bijlmer ramp is still very known by people above 40 years age
and where they were and what they were doing. I know I do.@@wilcofaber9863
43 is the official number, many homeless people lived there and I'm pretty sure the actual number is higher. Ik geloof er geen kloot van 😶
I visted the crashsite in 1992, and later on the Parlementair hearings..
every year in October I have to think about this horrific disaaster
and then some idiots from the USA claim it's been a test flight for 911 cuz they don't understand Hebrew from Arabic...
❤
The calmness of those pilots in the moment of such adversity always blows my mind away, even seconds away, knowing a sure death was, pretty calmly say..." going down...going down"...WOW!
Yeah, I'd be like tell " this this this " I love them or something of this sorts!
The first officer on this flight was a childhood friend and my neighbour, it's chilling to hear his voice on this video.
I’m sorry for your loss
I don't know if he actually says, or what he actually means by, the phrase "copy going down" in the middle of that last transmission, but personally I've always taken it to mean, "X marks the spot, boys." I mean I know that "copy" means either "I understand," or "Do you understand," but in that moment it could have been an extremely short-handed way of saying, "Please understand what I'm telling you: Our present location on your screen is where you should send everybody."
If I'm right, it's an incredibly professional -- and to that extent brave -- thing to have done. He made an impression on me in that moment that makes me feel like you should be proud to have known him. But them I'm sure you already are.
I'm so sorry
באמת?
I can just imagine 😮
Ah yes, late evening watching green dot aviation. doesn't get better then this.
dude im doing the same thing rn!!
Amen to that
Literally makes my day so much better seeing a green dot upload
It gets better if you download the TH-cam vid series for the express purpose of re-watching them on board during a flight
💯👌🏻
I worked for Qantas engineering in the mid 1990s and remember doing the engine strut mods after the El Al crash, they were done in conjunction with a aircraft D check.
A lot of the structure inside the wings had to be modified and strengthened as well as on the struts themselves. 🇦🇺
Thanks for this.
Quantas never crashed!!!
Engineering, huh? Why you couldn't get it right the first time is amazing 👍
@@RonOsbourne wtf your trolling right?
If mods were required ... must have been the original Boeing design was poor.
My friend's father was a colleague of this crew and we were just talking about this tragedy as he attended a memorial event. Thank you for covering this.
I actually visited the crash site on a trip to Amsterdam. It was at night and it was really terrifying. Although it’s been many years now, the feeling of death laid lurking while the cold winds of the winter blew. I was like the only person walking there and there were no lights at all.
Crew fought till the very end, and still remianed professional with death seconds away. RIP, and may we every remember the glory of their spirit.
I think it is about time Boeing included a "Your engine has fallen off" and "your door plug has fallen off" warning lights.
lol
Add to that "But your Boeing stock is doing fine"
@@johnking9942 ha ha - sad but true.
They should also include a "You're flying a Boeing" warning light as well. This is ridiculous.
@@Zemohc TBH, the fact that the Boeing is still flying should mean it is a green smilie -face light.
GOING DOWN!! GOING DOWN!! Sent chills down my spine
i cannot imagine that pit feeling in their stomachs, being in a giant uncontrollable metal tube going at hundreds of MPH toward the ground. ☹ RIP to everyone involved
@@TracksWithDaxI truly don't think they had time to process everything in the two seconds from being in level flight and going down. It is very chilling, but most final recordings from plane crashes are. The most haunting to me was "Here we go"

What a terribly sad story, all those poor people in their apartments dying from a jet crashing into their complex, something you'd never expect to happen, and the brave pilots who did everything they could to get the plane landed, may God rest their souls in heaven.
Imagine being someone on the ground looking at the falling aircraft... Must have been such a horrifying scene
one guy saw it flying straight towards him but in the end it crashed a bit next to him I believe or something close to it. I can't even begin to imagine the horror.
I had to run from it, just made it!

So would the Boeing 747, apparently

@@LateNightCigarsyou can praise one without criticising the other! Mentour Pilots videos are great. I too will always prefer Green Dot though, I love the style and presentation of these videos
@@LateNightCigarsMentour Pilot videos flyes over your head.
Of all the times I have transited through Amsterdam and Schiphol I am surprised to have never heard about this tragedy. It really did seem like the pilots were going to make it back safely beyond all odds. I physically winced when the airspeed dropped and the plane dive-bombed into those apartments.
OMG !!! Why do i keep watching these when i find them so very upsetting. RIP all who die because of plane crashes.😢😢
Because it’s morbid entertainment
Same reason we keep eating sugar and junk food know full well that it’s poison
Never believed I would live just a kilometre away from the crash site and be watching a video about it. Thank you again for a great coverage of this tragic accident.
So often, these stories end with a highway or river or field... The way I lurched when you said the words "eleven-story apartment building." That's horrific.
Well, planes often follow highways and rivers and airports are ALWAYS near open fields so…
Spoilers.
One thing I learned from 737 simulators - never allow to airspeed decrease too much - no matter how much failures. When I see measured AOA higher than 5 deg., then I have heart attack every time. Its better to overrun runway than stall and crash.
Indeed, low and slow is the most dangerous situation. Most of stall-spin accidents happen during approach and landings. This is also a reason why pilots now have to do upset recovery training.
I don't think the captain would have made the runway even with increased airspeed he would have landed past the run way.
@@mauriceharting5877 we don't even know if he would have had gear.
The aircraft was still controllable up until final when it decreased too much and with a tail wind. Should have continued at the higher speed until he could land into the wind to give the best possible chance. Also (unless I missed it) they did not dump the fuel tanks. This happened soon after takeoff so they would have a considerable amount of fuel on board. Losing that weight could have lightened things up allowing a slower stall speed and potentially the control surfaces to be more responsive.
In hind sight, I think it would have been better to have taken the long way around and approached the runway in the opposite direction, into the wind -- a 40 knot difference. This would have mitigated the inoperable flaps, and allowed them to lineup with the runway using more gradual steering inputs.
I'm Gobsmacked. Even your advertisements are brilliant. What a voice.
"And theres no instrument to tell you that your engine has fallen off"... hahaha OMG that's better than SNL
I remember my Grandpa (who also loves aviation) telling me about this incident. Such a tragic event RIP to all who died
So good to see you back my brother. Hope the pilot training is going well and thank you for all you do with these amazing videos.
Thanks for the clear transcript and high-quality graphics on only which can only be described as a horrific tale of events. I'm hooked to stay on this channel. I used to watch Air Crash Investigation and Seconds From Disaster about aviation accidents when I was involved in aviation, now there's Green Dot Aviation! Congrats to all involved!
Not the only time a 747 dropped engines:
"On Oct. 20, 2004, Kalitta Air's Boeing 747 aircraft took off from Chicago O'Hare Airport, to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York. As it climbed to approximately 15,000 feet over Lake Michigan, one of the four engines on the aircraft tore off from the wing of the aircraft."
They were so close. What a tragic loss.
This intro is literally the best channel intro I've ever saw. It looks stunning
Looks great on a big oled TV also
NO ONE ASKED @@RicJG7
You must be new to youtube, and past tense.
I do agree, it's simple, elegant, audio is good, it is 100% on theme. Great intro
I always get emotional on these accidents, but it’s just this sadness feeling, even on “closer to home” accidents like AF447 and TAM3054 (being born in Brazil), but this one, when he mentioned crashing over an ELEVEN story building, I really couldn’t hold my tears. Thank you for covering this accident, Green Dot. My sympathies to the Dutch and the involved people. 🖤
Being a child when TAM3054 crashed, I couldn't completely grasp what had happened, but even so I could tell it was something really sad, and the general mood in the room in the days that followed proved it.
"In a few short minutes they would be lined up to depart. While we wait..." and then goes into the ad 😂
Man, I was hoping for a miracle and then it happened, made me so sad. 😞 Excellent narration and video.
I love your videos, and I watch them even when i already know about the crash, and often, I learn something new. What i like the most is how you tell the story. I've commented this before: You keep me at the edge of my seat.
Your voice makes it easy to binge watch.
Obviously, you are doing what you love. How awesome is that!?!
Thank you so much for your videos Green dot. You are my absolute #1 favourite channel on the entirety of TH-cam. Also I highly commend your music choices in this video, subtle yet appropriately dramatic. (I'm a musician/composer and I'm rather picky about things like this). Thank you again very much
A couple of corrections / additions: unlike you stated, the plane was actually struggling to climb. This was noticed by ATC who remarked on this: "hij klimt voor geen meter". It has been suggested the plane was taking off beyond MTOW, possibly due to undeclared / illegal cargo. This in turn could have exacerbated the fuse pins' cracking. Also, the runway choice by the crew was indeed curious, but it would allow the plane to stay within El Al's restricted area at Schiphol; again, possibly related to the supposedly illegal military cargo. Finally the plane became uncontrollable due the inoperative slats on the damaged wing while they did extend on the other wing. On the cockpit audio you can hear Captain Fuchs asking for the slats to be retracted again but by then it was too late.
This 💯

@Malc180s there's more to it. After the crash, strange people in white hazmat suits appeared looking through the rubble, then disappeared.
The new Dutch government has promised to release all documents relating to the crash, so if Mossad shenanigans were involved, we'll learn by then
I was 11 years old, standing in the kitchen of our elderly house. My fathers girlfriend, (not my mother), had her parents over, and it was just a normal day. My father was a volunteer firefighter. And at a moment, his pager went off, and he received the call that the divers section of our town's station were called out to Amsterdam, due to a crashed airplane.
I am 43 years old now, but I remember it like it happened yesterday.
I'm the same age, my dad was also a volunteer firefighter & I also remember several really bad or dangerous calls my dad went out to. I especially remember the few that he got injured in. I also remember the times I felt extra safe because I was confident he knew what to do in bad situations, or when I was so excited because I got to be in the parades with him _ he'd let me play with the lights and sirens.

De Bijlmerramp is the Netherlands worst aircraft incident. My uncle was in Bijlmer at the moment, and told me the ground shook at the moment of impact.
It was the worst in the Netherlands, in my opinion Tenerife was the worst, as there was a Dutch B747 full of passengers involved as well as another B747.
@@apveening MH17 as well, most of the passengers were Dutch
@@grassytramtracks That wasn't a disaster, that was a war crime. Besides that, there were a bit less passengers on that B777.
After the pilot said we're going down, you can't imagine how terrifying that cockpit view must have been 😢
As I watched this video, I imagined what it must have been like to see this plane from the ground as it fell from the sky. Seems like an awfully traumatic thing to witness.
On a side note, this channel seems to get better with each upload. This video was excellent and well worth the wait.
i was imagining being one of the pilots on the plane. It was much worst.

I knew it'd be Boeing vs Airbus just by the "quality" of the cockpits (as in the polish and refinement of them)
@@airplanemaniacgaming7877 more like 2010's tech vs 1960's tech aka the 747-100 first flight was in 1969 and the a350's in 2013
Such a devastating conclusion to this one. Was not expecting that. Another masterful presentation. 🙏
What a Tragedy, the Pilot and flight crew couldn't have done any more. Absolute Hero's in a 'no win' situation, Sad indeed!
Since 1970 1,575 747's were built. 64 had crashed. 3,746 people died. 4.1% failure rate. Production ended in 2023.
Since the FAA had sent out a warning regarding the pin fatigue prior to this crash why hadn't the airline inspected these pins?
I'm not defending Boeing by any means, their lack of scruples has gotten out of control at this point. But to be fair, so many 747 crashes had nothing to do with aircraft system failures that could be traced to Boeing themselves. A dozen or more pilot error situations including collisions/navigation errors/runway overruns, hijackings/bombs, fires, even 1 shot down by military ordinance (not TWA 800). I'd be willing to bet that the 747 overall failure rate due to things traced to the manufacturer is similar to the same statistic of other Boeing and Airbus models.
Aren't fuse pins designed to break without damaging the control systems?
@@user-xu5vl5th9n well, clearly not in this case.
The fuse pins are meant to break WITHOUT damaging any systems.
Oh please...failure rate should be based on number of flights or hours flown. Regardless, 64 crashes out of 1.5million aircraft is not a 4.1% failure rate.
Great video once again, man! I like the way of storytelling and keeping it to the point. You might want to include "Bijlmerramp" in the title or description of the video; Could give a viewer-boost.
I can only imagine the horror on the pilots' minds when they realized they lost the remaining control of the aircraft.
I can only imagine the brain power to type such a generic bot comment
Love your videos! Keep it coming.
747-200 (Classic) & The Airbus A350 are the two flight decks from the sponsor part of your clip for bonus points.
GOD BLESS!!!!
idk how they can stay so calm and just radio "going down" instead of screaming their heads off
I can’t even imagine what was going through their minds at that moment
By then they probably accepted the fact that they were doomed and there was nothing else they *could* do _but_ simply say "going down". And death is instant in a crash.
disciplined professionals
I imagine experienced pilots have processed the idea that they may die hundreds or thousands of times - especially as military pilots.

Actually the ultimate solution was the design and implementation of the Dual Side Brace (DSB) fitting. The strut mod program in the 90s on the 747 was one of the largest mod programs ever.
The way Kelsey talks about 747 engine failures I'm surprised they even diverted

the man who later became the head pilot of El Al was at my dinner table when this happened. A very dark day for Israeli aviation and with what is going on with BOEING today, it seems that they really had no chance. Will BOEING pay for it's past transgressions and betrayals of both pilots and passengers ?
BOEING’s new slogan: “We’ll get you there….well, most of the time anyways.”
Or: “All our flights end on the surface, guaranteed!”

@@MultiChrisjb my name is Victor, ironically 😆
Fuse pins are meant to be the weak point, so a damaged engine can tear itself off the wing without damaging the wing itself. My recollection - the inboard engine was replaced using a forklift instead of the proper lifting cradle. The lifting cradle would have put all mounting point in the right places, but with a forlkift, you'd put one pin in place then adjust the engine to put a second in place, etc. This procedure overstressed some of the pins.
The design of the pins is such that the rear one should go first, then the side pins, leaving the front pin last. If the engine was stopped, this pin would break and the engine fall away, if under power, the engine would swing around vertically on the front pin and be thrown safely over the top of the wing. But the damaged pins were included the inboard pin. When it went, together with, I think the front pin, the engine pivoted around the side pin, throwing it outwards, where it collided with the outboard engine and the wing structure.
Yes, they used a forklift.
Nope that was American 191
This channel was responsible for giving me so much anxiety today 😂I😂. I know too much about planes now ffs😂
I was cabin crew on 747s for BA back in the 70s. On a number of occasions crew members were asked to take a glimpse out of the windows adjacent to the wing to provide feedback to the flight crew. This is not the first video I've watched where the obvious thing would have been for the engineer, or a crew member to eyeball the engines/wings from within the cabin, rather than make assumptions about what had occurred.
If it’s Boeing I ain’t going.
Hahaha
If its Airbus, I won't make a fuss!
It could be worse, it could be McDonnell Douglas. Oh wait. It IS McDonnell Douglas.
I was just on a airbus lost 2/4 hydraulic pumps or something the captain said 🤣 flying is still sketchy. Actually started watching these videos because of that I became interested…

I was born after this accident happened, but pretty much every Dutch person knows about the 'Bijlmer ramp'. I only realised you were describing this particular accident when you mentioned the plane going into an eleven-story building, as I didn't know anything about the aviation side of the disaster and what caused it.

It was also later discovered that there was a counterfeit parts manufacturer selling low grade parts which led to several other fatal accidents.
I’m glad you explained how they fixed this problem 😅
Literally my jaw dropped when the animation shows the engine fall off
I've used Opera for five years. I've put my whole family on it. So much less hassles. Clean, quiet, fast, reliable.
So sad, I was really hoping they made it back while watching :( I wonder if it would have helped to reduce thrust on the outer engine while working the inner engine harder just to slightly reduce that yaw moment. It really sucks how you can be the best pilot in the world but if your machine lets you down sometimes there's nothing you can do.
I had the same thought. I figure there probably wouldn't have been enough thrust to keep the plane aloft.

There is no mention in the video about how they used their engines. I dont blame the crew as they took their decissions based on the limited info they had, but could be useful to refine emergency procedures, to simulate what would happen had they reduced outboard engine to idle and played just with inboard engine to smooth the descent rate as necessary.
Being at MTOW, or even above, they might had no chance no matter. But this is not discussed or mentioned in the video.
Does it exist a B747 procedure for keeping airborne or managing descent with just 2 engines on same wing working ?
@@pepepier3644 I know these thoughts weren't discussed in the video. I didn't mean to state fact here, I was just speculating with KiwiPower.
I agree with your assessment, they were probably near MTOW. They needed to maintain air speed because their flaps weren't functional. I speculate that if they had reduced power on one of the engines they would have bled too much air speed and been unable to maintain controlled flight.
I don't think any other outcome was possible here, and I agree, the crew did what they could with the information they had.
It's unfortunate they impacted an apartment building though.
Hey man keep up the good work I love these videos I watch them at work when I can thank you
imagine those kids who were home alone and when their parents come they realise that a fucking plane crashed in it
If It's Boeing, I'm Not Flying.

As a retired British Aiways pilot who used to fly in the 90s, 747s, all I can say is: Oy vey.
With all the advances in camera technology, it seems almost criminal to not have cameras covering critical areas of commercial aircraft.
love the channel, i also think Opera browser is fantastic.
