My Scariest Flight - Bomb Threat Onboard IL-86
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2020
- After flying over 2,000 flights and 3 million miles, I am revealing my worst flight experience and scariest flight ever. It was onboard a Siberia Airlines IL-86 from Novosibirsk to Beijing in 2004.
Ilyushin-86 is the first wide body airplane from the Soviet Union and it was the second four engine wide body airplane built in the world, preceded by the Boeing 747. The IL-86 is powered by 4 Kuznetsov NK-86 engines, these engines are underpowered and limit the range of IL-86 with full payload. The IL-86 has unique pull down stairs, which eliminates the need for airport infrastructure to board the plane. There are two decks, passengers board and store their luggage on lower deck before proceeding to their seats on the upper deck. There are no overhead bins in the centre, which gives the cabin a more spacious feel.
There was a potential bomb threat on my IL-86 flight in September 2004 in Russia. During the boarding, 2 suspicious men went to the bathroom and then requested to leave the airplane after boarding. Russia was in a state of high alert during that period as the flight took place just after the Beslan School siege, in which 300 lost their lives and over 700 more were injured.
Security forces came onboard with sniffer dogs to search the plane and passengers were sent back to terminal for additional security and interviews. After 3 hours we were cleared for take-off on the same plane, without the 2 suspicious men onboard. The IL-86 flew below a low weather pressure system over Siberia and shook violently all the way during the 4 hour flight to Beijing. This was probably the only time I wanted to leave a plane early.

You’ve truly experienced *EVERYTHING* possible on an airplane.
He hasn’t experienced death on an airplane.
has he been on the mile high club
Very kind comment but I’m just gaining more experience from more flights
Had he ever experienced plane crash?
Not an engine fire... I hope 😅 Or a deathly crash 🙁
"We pay for whole runway, we use whole runway" haha Russian pilots are the best
A343：Me too
They literally have to play piano keys at the end of the runway before take off
🤣🤣🤣👌
@@XD-it4du A343: do you guys use runway? I use the curve of the earth to take off
Russian government not worst any more, now Trump makes dictator great again.
Everyone: “wow flying in those Russian planes must be dangerous”
Sam: “not really. Only that one time when there was a bomb on board.”
Here we are now
still better than 9/11(((
Operated for three decades, had no fatal accidents, 106 built.
so just because the plane is Russian it's scary? grow up.

I love the Ilyushin IL-86. One of the most beautiful airplanes every made. I remember flying to Antalys in 2009 just to catch the last flying ILW`s. Wonderful video.
For the time it was designed it was OK. Should not be judged by 2020 standards. My opinion...it is one of the best looking planes.
Ok
Cargospotter I’ve been to Antalya. It was lush, love your vids
You also watch Sam Chui 🙂 I am one of your subscribers and one of his 🤗 Greetings from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Ok?
Hope there won't be any scary flights anymore in the future, every flight is safe 😊 No more accident like MH370😥
Yeah
every one have a safe flight when you’re flying
Alienter 75 thx
Alienter 75 yeah
Just Go Travel your welcome
I’ve flown in this aircraft’s later version, the il-96 and on a sukhoi superjet 100 and they’re actually pretty good aircraft, idk why some people really hate them.
I have experienced bomb blast in Belgium on 23 March, 2016. I had landed in Brussels airport and we came out of the plane and was standing near the conveyor belt waiting for our luggage in the morning. Suddenly a big boom happened, the sound was like a blast of a big cylinder, it was a huge sound. We were in first floor and the blast took place in fourth floor. We were told for immediate evacuation from the airport. The airport was sealed and army took control of it. Later came to know that 38 people died from that terrorist attack. That was a horrible incident.

We pay whole runway, we use whole runway
-ryanair
G.D Skate and Scooter also ryanair- flings off the runway*
vivian Pham yessir
which is impressive considering how hard their landings are
they only pay for the grass...
Ryanair takes off early and it has also hard landing to stop early.
More likely:
We paid half of runway, we use half of runway.
Low fares, made simple.
Love your videos Sam. It’s really nice to see that you survived a flight like that. Please try to get us more content on future aircraft prototypes and all like the Flying V.
They should make a movie about this with Sam being played by Jackie chan.
Yea your right!
better be played by an actor with a broader talent - like Sammo Hung!
Lol, sounds funny
Suspect: "We're taking over this plane!.. Wait, Oh NO! It's SAM!"
*Sam gives him a roundhouse to the face*
Sam: "No more flight delays."
@Hauxy -taste- science
Great video as always. Can't wait until things are back to normal. Sam, you have an incredible memory about your past flights. You must have kept a good journal.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. I enjoyed it a lot. Many happy landings to you Mr.Sam.
cool video Sam.
I was on a bomb scare flight, but it was already in the air. December 1969, on a Qantas B707. We departed Perth for Singapore, and about an hour after take off things started to happen. The plane did a hard turn to reverse direction and descended quite quickly, presumably to avoid explosive decompression if something went off, and then started dumping fuel.
Direct approach back into Perth and off the runway into a taxiway away from the terminal. No slides, but they brought up stairs and got us off pretty quick. I noticed guys were looking over the plane even as we were disembarking. We were bussed back to the terminal where we waited for about 2 hours then reboarded and went to Singapore. I found out later a bomb threat had been received by phone against an important person up in first. I guess it was less distressing than having threatening guys in the cabin as in your experience, but it was pretty weird given no one told us anything through the whole thing.
what a story. That must have been frightning
It really shows how safe aircraft are when a man who has flown 2000 flights scariest experience had nothing to do with the aircraft itself.
Il 86 was like rolercoster ..totally scare you but was actually totally safe..no one ever died in Il 86
Brate dobar ti je pfp
Super pfp
A ferry flight out of SVO to LED killed the whole crew save one or two cabin attendants. officially blamed on a stuck trimmer key. My guess was that the pilots thought the empty plane may do a steeper-than-usual-boring climb and overplayed it.
The IL-86 is just a Boeing 707 combine with the a340
(Change my mind)
Expect that the il86 came out before the a340
A340 appearance with 707 soul. What a combination!
@@kennethimagine3240 ah yes, the fuselage length. More like A310
More like a A340 & DC-8 series 60 combination, because the engines look much more like the JT3Ds on DC-8 series 60 aircraft.
No it’s IL-96 that was combined
Wow what a scary experience.
Good things didn't go worse.
Thank you for sharing it.
Loving these stories Sam ✈️✈️👍
Crazy story! Thanks for sharing Sam!
Sam I'm glad you survived this as well. Who else flies on so many different aircraft around the world. Thanks and God bless.
Sam : I flew over 2000 commercial flights !!!
Me : Dreaming to fly FIRST class at least ONCE !!!
X D
Me chillin with no flights whatsoever
I did fly once in Business class, it was last December.
Me: Wishing I had food in my refrigerator at least ONCE
Me: wishing I had a refrigerator at least once
I flew First class it was amazing
"Incredible long take off"
A340-300: HOLD MY JET A
Quite a dramatic experience Sam. Thanks for the sharing.
Wow so sorry you had that experience. I have flown only 4 times and all 4 times large jets. Love your channel. I'm new to the channel. I am recommending your channel to a friend who will be taking her first flight ever at age 62. I know she will love it and your advice will help her.
Every flight should be safe after the pandemic ends Sam, good thing you were alive, because this was a scary moment in life and could make someone crazy. Sam is a brave person who makes videos on the craziest topics of aviation.
Big fan here. Stay safe to all including Sam Chui 😷

I was waiting for this video thanks for uploading happy that u were safe
Sam Chui, thanks So much for your generosity, sharing and sharing.
May your ceiling always be high an your visibility unlimited.
I really like your video during this lockdown period.Your fan from Chennai,TN,India.
Freaking awesome video Sam! Glad everything turned out well for you.
Thanks. Quite a memory and tales to tell now!
Sam you are great ..you shared very nice flyight experience...!👍🏻
stay safe Sam ❤️✈️😁
nice to watch your videos. hope you give us more reviews about airplanes when everything goes back to normal 😁
Always great video from Sam ❤️😀
liking this format Sam, keep it up
Thank you. It was difficult to take pic and videos back then on Russian flights. Flight attendant will tell you with a big “Nyet”!
I love your videos!! I would love to do what you do for a living!! Keep up the amazing work
Glad I found this channel! Your videos are so good!
3 million miles? Wow that’s amazing🔥
We need to have safety in every airline
This is very informative!!! Thanks Sam!!
Ooh very scary! Glad you’re ok!
Great Video Sam! As always!
Russian pilots: We pay for whole runway, we use a whole runway”. *barreling down runway with vodka noises*

glad your safe Sam!!! this is one of the reasons im too scared to fly anymore!!! 😱😱
Good to see you safe Sam!
What a horrible experience.. I'm a nervous flyer to begin with.. Love your videos..Glad everything went ok
Hello Mr.Chui! I have a question. Are airlines making sure that the middle seat is open? Thank you! I am a big fan of yours!
I regularly fly S7 Airlines (modern Siberia 😀😆). Now it's a really fantastic and comfortable airline because of their new A320NEO and A321NEO that already are over 35% of their fleet. So I believe that it was a scary airline earlier but now it's a really nice one. Hope to fly it again ;-) Greets from Moscow! Waiting for a new video, Sam! ✈🛫
So you live in Russia
@@hunterayyob4320 Currently no.
@@airflightchannel8078 due to the war? Or due to prices or you were not interested
Thanks for sharing Sam.
This was so cool! Keep making great videos thanks!
I’m glad you survived!
Me too. So I can share this with everyone.
Me: "mom I want an A340"
Mom: "we got A340 at home"
A340 at home:
I’m glad you and the other passengers were safe I can’t imagine what it would be like if I went south
I like your every videos & updates brother, keep it up
No fear, physics be damned! That was one scary take-off!
Russian pilots: We pay whole runway, we use whole runway... scraping the edge
Stolen
U stole it bruh
Love the sound effects! 👏
Well done, great report
No, a340 should be called the French ilyushin because IL 86 is earlier than airbus 340.
A340 is more well known
A340 is based on the A300 design which is earlier than IL86 and thus IL86 is a copy in theory
No, they stole the blueprints
Yxean Get-any but airbus isn’t only French
A340 is the safest plane on the world and IL 86 looks like one of the worst.
Him: *Goes to Russia and ends up on cool Soviet bois*
Me: *Goes to Russia, ends up on a 737 MAX the first time, -800 and A320 the second time*
Thank you for this favorite channel for sure
What a terrifying experience Sam!
"You paid for the whole runway, you use the whole runway." Hilarious!
What can you hate about Sam, he’s just such a lovable guy😊❤️
yaqoob ali 🙂
PringoZ i think you should name yourself Pringle
@@illamma4705 I would it’s just so many channels have that name so I wanted something original thanks tho 😊
Love your videos and you and also the aviation Industry😍😍
Favourite channel. Keep it up👍👍👍
You pay for the whole runway you use the whole runway 😂😂🤣🤣
How’s that funny?
I’m jealous that you’ve gotten to fly on so many Soviet planes! Well, except for this flight with the bomb scare...
Glad you are here to tell the story :)
Wow Sam very scary! Quite brave. A bomb threat has not ruined your career with flights!
I was on a flight (late 80s) on the last airline you'd expect to have a bomb scare- Swissair!
Love you videos sam keep it up
Same
Great video Sam! Greetings from Hong Kong.
thank you for sharing!!!
Sam: "There was one time"
Also Sam: *holds up 2 fingers
That was a bomb video!
I once flew with an Il-86 from SXF to SVO in December 1987. The flight was operated by Aeroflot. In January 1988, I flew back from LED to SXF on a Tu-134A also operated by Aeroflot... Also in 1988 in the Summer, I flew from SXF to LED with an Il-62M operated by Interflug, from LED to SVO with an Tu-154A operated by Aeroflot and from SVO to SXF with an Il-62M operated by Interflug. While we landed in Eastern Berlin, there was a severe thunderstorm going on... that was quite an experience. But back to the Il-86, I really enjoyed the flight. Also the boarding procedure was quite unique with such a big plane, there was just this hatch opened beside the cargo hold doors, were you can board the Il-86 without any external stairs...
Love all your videos Sam
Sam - I love your videos BUT when listening with head phones the"background" music is overwhelming and makes it hard to understand you. Can you use softer background music levels?
T hank you!
Sam Chui : goes in a plane
2020: I’m about to end this man’s whole career 😈
Chevas sam chui: Don’t hold my boarding pass
♥️ your vids!
Hello from Sydney Australia
I littraly LOVE your videos
Noobs : Il-86 is a copied A340
Avgeeks : *HOLD MY HISTORY BOOK*
Exactly A340 is the copy of IL 86
@@sjishah 🤣
IL-86 was out first before A340.
@@SamChui thanks Sam, I am saying the same but you mention in your video, you mentioned copy of Airbus A340 but it's the other way around.
@@irispettson if Tu-144 is a copy of Concorde, then B747 is a copy of A340! They differed much more than it looks like
Low thrust to weight, inefficient wing and low power engines gives the IL-86 a very long takeoff roll. I would not fly on that aircraft for all the tea in China..
Wrong! The takeoff distance of il86 is several hundreds meter less than a340
Scary Sam! At least that didn't stop you from flying
I just came now awesome keep it up Sam 😘
IL-86 is (was) an amazing jet and one of the safest - with only 1 catastrophy.
Ил-86 не убил ни одного пассажира...
Their is only one more Russian/Soviet aircraft you hadn’t flown on yet, the IL-96 and the only airline that still fly it today as far as I know is Cubana airlines and I believe they operate it on their Madrid-Havana route
And I am glad that we can enjoy your videos.
Great job Sam!
Who's reading this, hope you are fine. 😊😊
Please not this same comment again.
Can you make a good naan bread?
Thank you, hope you are too
I am okay, but are you
Sophia Hudson there’s nothing wrong with this comment. Rude
1:18 Swiss 001 always says that LOL
I’m glad you are safe! That must have been very scary.
Same...
Nice video!
Sam you have You’ve truly experienced EVERYTHING possible on an airplane that any avi geek could dream of.
Next phase you need your pilot license
Do you
dream
of there being a bomb threat
when you're on board???
Sam: talks about bomb threat
Terrorist: he knows to les
Hope all the future flights will be safe and comfortable.
This was so interesting to see 🤔🤔 Keep the great vids up man your the best!!
It seem funny today but I can’t even imagine how scared you guys were
Everyone was worried as you just never know. I have a slight sick feeling during the flight and couldn’t wait for it to land
Damn bomb onboard?
Another good on Sam. The last sequence of the landing looks like the crew hadn't done that bit before and were working it out on the way down to the runway. I hope the pilots of the new-fangled B777 have got it a bit more together.
Super video... Really i feeled the same as video subject is.. 👍
