for those who didn't watch the full episode: the plane went down to to a mechanical error leading to false readings, one the pilot caught, which led to him doing the water landing. problem was, in trying to save the plane, it looked like he was trying to crash it. but with the co-pilot unconscious and pilot himself not remembering the crash well (and him hiding his bipolar diagnosis), investigators (and the pilot himself) believe that he deliberately crashed the plane due to having an episode. this is further reinforced by the discovery of the black box recording of the crash, which includes audio of what sounds like the co-pilot briefly trying to stop him from taking the plane into a dive before she realized what was happening, and him, seemingly 'incoherent,' repeating numbers that are later revealed to be the deisgnator of a flight that crashed due to a similar error. the co-pilot wakes up before the pilot is taken away by authorities.
For those perhaps interested in some aviation related inspiration cases, this episode obviously draws heavily upon the US Airways Flight 1549 incident. Now, regarding pilot suicide incidents, which sadly, have occurred, what is being pointed out at the end of the clip is that the pilot appeared to try and land the plane. This would stand out as being, to varying degrees, separating him from real cases of pilot suicides. In Silk Air 185, the pilot put the plane into an intentional hard dive, causing the plane to impact the ground at an exceptional rate of speed. Primary motivation of the pilot in this incident was financial. In another reported suicide incident, Egypt Air 990, the pilot throttled back, and dove the plane sharply. The plane did recover due at least in part to the intervention of the first officer, but without power the plane stalled and entered a second dive, during which the aircraft began to break up in flight. Believed reasoning was due to career issue for one of the pilots.
You forgot to mention GermanWings in 2015 as well. The motivation in that case isn’t entirely known, but what is known is that the co-pilot had pretty severe depression/mental health issues. He had apparently done a dry run on another flight to make sure that changing the heading would work how he wanted it to (taking the plane down to 100 meters in mountainous areas) but he changed it quickly and it wasn’t noticed. Point being, it wasn’t spur of the moment. He planned it and refused any intervention from the pilot banging on the door or ATC radio calls once he started it
He didn’t crash the plane,he saved it (I’m guessing this is loosely based on the miracle on the Hudson ,where the pilot saved everyone on board plus hundreds on the ground,he just wasn’t bipolar which is why I say loosely) can anyone tell me if I’m right here??
Crash landing is the correct term. It may not be from pilot error, but a plane is not supposed to land in the river. Accident or deliberate, it’s always termed a crash landing.
@@dmf1301 true,very true I remember when 1549 crashed ,the pilots wife had to phone his daughters school and tell them not to have the news playing because their father was just in a crash in New York and she didn’t want them to find out from CNN,even though his “crash” was deliberate and saved countless lives
@@spectrastar2749 it was completely intact,the pilot just didn’t have time to hit a switch to seal something so water couldn’t get in so it sank…the fact that it was a water (crash)landing where everyone survived (both passengers and on the ground)was a miracle in itself but for the plane to be perfectly intact showed the skill of the pilot(s) and was the second miracle!
If you're trying to commit suicide by crashing a plane, logically the ground is the worst possible target to choose. Suicide is a scary process that most people want to be over as quickly as possible, but if you have to put your plane in a nosedive, you have to watch the ground coming every second of the way down. And the plane will fight you for every inch because it's designed to fly at almost any other angle. Far easier and far more guaranteed then to aim at a building. A water landing, especially a river, virtually guarantees that you'll survive and someone will quickly come to your aid.
No, it’s probably based on SilkAir Flight 185 or Egypt Air 990, which both succeeded at killing everyone on board (though the pilots had different motivations). Or perhaps even Germanwings 9525, which was actually the flight that started people discussing pilot mental health at all.
For everyone thinking this is fake or based on the Miracle on the Hudson, it’s not. It’s probably instead based on SilkAir Flight 185 or Egypt Air 990, which both succeeded at killing everyone on board (though the pilots had different motivations). Or perhaps even Germanwings 9525, which was actually the flight that started people discussing pilot mental health at all. In the third case, there were dozens of doctors trying to warn the airline that the pilot was unstable for years before the accident. And everyone still died on all three flights despite the best efforts of all the other crew members. It’s tragic, but just like we need mental health evaluations of doctors and students and scientists, we needed them for pilots. Edit: to clarify, the miracle on the Hudson was entirely an external problem-a massive birdstrike that stopped the engines. Nothing else went wrong from the CRM to ATC to flight attendants helping in evacuation. But in Egypt air, a single man decided to take revenge on the airline by crashing into the sea (still controversial to this day). In SilkAir, a man decided to escape millions in debt by destroying himself and the plane, and maybe take a little revenge. In Germanwings, a man decided to kill himself after years of untreated depression and psychosomatic blindness (which would strip him of his career) by crashing into the mountains. It’s very, very different in taste. And this case, I would compare to loss of awareness in flight, which every contemporary CRM-trained crew knows how to watch for. It should never get to this point.
In the full episode it proves he was trying to save the plane not intentionally crash it. The co pilot thought he had gone rouge and tried to stop him and caused it to crash in the chaos. This really is more like like the miracle on Hudson rather than an insane person trying to kill everyone. Interesting to hear about those crashes though. I'm less interested in hearing about people who hate someone or have a debt they're trying to get out of by killing hundreds of people and more interested in the stories of people who are looked down on because of a perceived idea that they're lesser or less able to manage what everyone else does in their day to day lives just because of a mental or physical disease though. Much more entertaining and relatable. I dont like the theory that this is more likely based on something horrific and tragic just because you couldn't be bothered to actually pay attention to the last part of the clip here where he is literally talking about how he clearly tried to rescue the plane.
I did see it. It was not a loss of awareness. He was fully and completely aware of what he was doing as he was doing it. It was after that he forgot due to trauma and/or injury.
And no one ever questioned his sanity in the episode before this incident when he told them he was bipolar. Up till then he was a normal pilot. He didn't tell people he was bipolar due to the stigmatism he was sure he would face the moment he did. He should have come forward and informed them once he knew (he was a pilot before he found out he was bipolar) but its a reasonable fear to have.
Hang on... that's a Boeing 737. It requires two pilots to be flown -- especially under the flight regulations for airlines. Why didn't the first officer (most people use the misnomer "co-pilot") intervene? The captain isn't always the one controlling the plane. There should have been input from the first officer.
Because the pilot actually saved the plane, he wasn’t trying to harm himself or others. It was a mechanical issue, it’s all explained in the full episode.
I do not like that investigator at all. Even with a warrant to interrogate the pilot, he better remember the pilot has the 5th Amendment right to not speak at all and has the right to have a lawyer. Meaning that he can remain tight lip until his lawyer arrives.
Germanwings Flight 9525 or USAirways Flight 1549 ? which real life incident is this episode based on? Southwest Flight 1380 was in season 3 of 9-1-1 Lonestar so that was already covered it also cant be American Flight 11 or United 175 because that ended bad for NYC
@@feildhockeyfeildhockey5676 i guess you didn’t listen to the doctor questioning him? Asking if he was any of those thing that could cause bouts of suicidal ideation or rage. Have you neverseen a Cop in a rage?? Watch the news and ask yourself? Are they?? Hmmm
@@feildhockeyfeildhockey5676 your wrong I don’t just see the bad in peace officers, there are so many good ones but we aren’t getting to see the good just the raging thundering bad. And yes I do think better psychological tests need to be given to anyone who is out there supposedly keeping law & order and carrying a gun.
As much as I feel for the pilot, flying while impaired puts many lives at risk. If I found this out, I'd be pissed. I'm disabled. There are a bunch of things I can't do. I would never even try if it meant endangering others. I feel bad for the guy, but then I'd feel bad if the painter lost their sight and couldn't paint, either.
yer except the episode shows it was a technical fault with the plane and the pilots skill is why the plane landed in enough of a piece for people to survive and the whole reason the pilot hid his bipolar while also making sure to take treatments is because of people like you who would judge someone based on health issues instead of their skills and safety record your comment is litrally the reason people have to hide mental health issues.
Well I was about to be triggered an say something like ‘bipolar meds don’t necessarily make you impaired’ but according to the faa website a diagnosis of bipolar means automatic disqualification from obtaining the required medical certificate. So that sucks lol.
@naturelass Mental health is a big deal when you’re a commercial pilot taking the lives of hundreds of people into your hands. I wouldn’t want a bipolar pilot having a manic episode OR a medicated one who’s on mood stabilizers. Just find me a normal person. It’s a liability if an airline employs someone with a known mental illness and something bad happens.

Nothing is too hard for you!” Jeremiah 32:17 No matter what your disease is God can heal you, whether it’s a sickness a doctor can articulate or one that you can’t even explain, God can heal you. Just ask Him.

I was thinking the same thing
Thinking the same thing but unlike what we see here, 1549 actually survived pretty much intact when it hit the water.

A pilot can turn a commercial jet into an expensive high speed suicide elevator. It’s pretty quick compared to modes like asphyxiation.
A “water landing”, which is called ditching, is NOT a guarantee that you’ll survive lmao
@@BrofNeeko Certainly not, but it is generally considered to be more likely than faceplanting into solid ground 😄

He can but he needs access to do anything, he also needs to test for the basics, like BAC, and other substances. Which is currently suspected.
So what about the other pilot?
Sometimes the unrealistic melodrama is distracting.
This isn’t so dissimilar to what happens in real life. The NTSB scrutinizes everyone after a crash, especially if it’s a commercial flight.
