"One passenger died on impact after being hit in the chest with a tray table." And that, ladies and gentlemen, is WHY you put your tray tables up when landing.

@@pbbp1987 You know what's funny is I do have pretty frequent nightmares about being on a crashing plane. I think part of me actually enjoys it. I wake up feeling as if I just stepped off a roller coaster.
I'm so relieved that so many of you share this strange fascination/obsession with plane crashes 😁 I was beginning to think something was wrong with me 😅
What do you do when on a passenger airplane? a. Too cautious: You always pick a seat at the back and on corridor, check the emergency exits. You close your eyes and imagine how you find the exits with zero visibility, how you overcome obstacles or manage possible injuries. b. Savior: You fantasize about heroically saving everyone by spotting problems before they emerge or by taking control of the aircraft because the crew is compromised or be saving alive but injured passengers after the crash. c. Paranoid: You are scared! Every little turbulence could be the end! What did they just say on the intercom? Is it a code for "we are all gonna die"? Maybe you should stop watching so many place crash shows. d. Too far: You wish the plane is going to crash so that you can get a first hand experience of one of these incidents. "a", "b" and "c" are OK, but if you are a "d" kind of person, please talk to a professional.
For anyone interested in the Mozambique LAM Flight 470 accident, that accident was proven to be suicide by pilot. Prayers to families of the victims. 🙏🙏🙏
Watching these videos puts me in a roller coaster of emotions; from horror to surprise to utter sadness/grief to disgust and anger. Though I've also learned so much from these; i.e how small avoidable mistakes can have big consequences and end in tragedy (i.e pilot error/fatigue, poor maintanence or training, cutting corners/costs, negligence, mechanical failure, metal fatigue, design flaw, poor communication, etc.), company transparency when they knew failure was inevitable, toxic hierarchy or profit culture, etc. As a frequent traveller, I'm grateful that commercial aviation has come so far- not because of the accidents & lives lost, but for the improvements made.
according to the swedish SHK (statens haverikommision, the swedish version of NTSB) the reason for west air sweden 294's crash was a mix of mechanical error & pilot error due to the captain experiencing a type of spatial disorientation before & during the dive.
I read in the report for the Northwest DC-9 that the F/O was fairly new to the airline having recently left the Air Force where he flew B-52s. Before pushback he and the Captain had a discussion where he fabricated several aspects of his service; namely ejecting from an aircraft twice and actions in Southeast Asia. It's also noted the Captain was returning to flying after some time away. It's scary how these factors resulted in how the Captain essentially became totally reliant on his much less experienced colleague, likely compounded by his tall tales and confidence. This combined with the F/O's likely intention to make a good impression and not let on if he himself was becoming confused led to the accident in my opinion.
I look upon Air Force pilots as far superior to any civilian pilots. I tend to forget that they are only human and they too are prone to human limitations.
@@markversfeld1027 I think they are superior too, but they also have superior planes. Many of the maneuvers they are able to do on those planes can't be done on ordinary commercial planes. So even if a pilot was indeed capable of getting them out of the jam, the plane might not have been able.
@@aewtx I don.t agree with that, there has to be a set standard with whatever aircraft manufactured, commercial or military, I was at an airshow where an x airforce pilot put a 737 through it's paces , manoeuvres that you would never see on normal flights..it was a very impressive display, so even a commercial aircraft will surprise you as to what it can do.
lol isnt that the job of a first officer? even a retard could look out the window and give directions .. You mean to tell me that you think what the first officer was doing is complicated or should require a harvard degree or being a killer pilot in the US Airforce to follow simple directions while the plane is still on the ground? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 what kind of morons do they hire if you need a phd to follow simple directions!! I must be a genius then since I can follow simple direction without flying a B2 bomber and the Airlines needs better standard
Refused to watch this when it was on tv, for fear I’d never have the courage to fly ever again…now decades later I see this show made it to 15 seasons. OMG. How many accidents have there been? No, I don’t want to know.
Omg I used to be a flight attendant for Skywest.. And I flew a lot on the CRJ200. Idk how many times we had problems with mechanical issues.. Watching these videos are not the best idea, but how else can we learn about how and why the aircrafts have mechanical problems. Now I’m on an adventure to become a pilot.
for anyone wondering, LAM flight 470 was suicide. at cruising altitude, the FO left and the captain locked the door then set the altitude to its lowest and full speed. R.I.P.
@@joelsterling1445 And what's really terrifying is that those two suicide crashes were nearly a year and a half apart. The reason why LAM crash was not extensively covered by the media (at least according to some sources in the episode) was that the incident was in a "third world country", while the Germanwings one happened in France. Which means that the aviation industry was practically blind about it and failed to take measures in time in order to not allow such incident to occur again.
Geez the passengers on board the plane that had the exploding bottle of gasoline are damn lucky it exploded as they were landing and not in the air or taking off at the time!! Who the hell brings a bottle if gasoline on the plane?? 🤦♀️
I know right, seriously wth. And the battery too with exposed wires. This really freaked me out because if people are bringing this stuff on airplanes and getting it through when they shouldn't, it makes you wonder about these security checks. Never in my wildest dream did I ever think someone would be dumb enough to bring gasoline on an airline. Now I'm going to be looking at passengers when I fly and wonder what the hell dumb stuff did they think to bring. You basically can't depend on people's common sense anymore. It's very frightening
It was UniAir 873, which occurred on August 24, 1999. Unfortunately, they never could find a reason as to why the guy was transporting gas on the plane.
At least you know how the plane operates & if there's an engine fire you can tell the flight s attendant. I did once and she told pilots and we continued to California 4 more hours away. Landed fine. Most planes work well.
I remember seeing that Cougar Helicopter the morning of the accident, I was in homeroom and looked out the window and watched it fly over on its way out. R.I.P ❤️
Thank you. I works for aviation industry, but I am still a nervous flyer. Without seeing these episode I did not go to sleep even for a single day. Is there anyone like me??
Don't worry. This hardly happens. I've beenn flying since 1974. Never crashed yet. Just returned from Minneapolis Florida & Hawaii all in the USA. No incidents.
this whole year i’ve been watching air plane crashes i even went on a flight where the day before i was watching crashes, idk why it’s so fascinating 💀💀
@Melody Mardello There were only 83 374 fatal crashes GLOBALLY so far throughout the entirety of aviation history. Compare that to 46 000 fatal car crashes in the US alone per year, more than half that number per year accidents alone.
My amazing dad was a mud engineer before I was born and then the majority of my teenage years. He always shared all of the dangers and risks with me and tell me how much he hated flying out there on the choppers as he called them. I would make him come and hug and kiss me and tell me he loved me before he left. EVERY single time. I didn’t always remember bc he always left in the very early morning, but if anything had happened to him, I would’ve been crushed. Absolutely devastated!! Prayers to all of the victims of all crashes but especially offshore rig workers. They risk their lives every time they go out there bc there are a slew of things that could potentially end their lives. Not only flying out there but also being out on the rigs. My dad told my many stories about how his job was pretty much making sure that all the elements and chemicals were balanced correctly to prevent the rig from blowing up. He had a few close calls out there and would explain it the best he could bc there are a lot of tedious details that sound like a different language. Especially to a teen. lol God bless him for all he did to make me feel better while he was gone. I missed him terribly every time he’d go out bc we were particularly close. He passed away a few years back and I’m still very lost without him. I lost my best friend. But hopefully gained a guardian angel warrior lo. Saw the helicopter crash part and it reminded me of him. I pray for all the victims and their families. Including the pilots. Lord knows they carry a very heavy responsibility and I’m sure they don’t want to be killed up there as well. This has absolutely nothing to do with this video but I felt like telling the world!! Peace yall! ✌🏽
I don’t care about pilots appearances but I must admit they sounds very sexy when saying “V1”. It’s like they put their hands around my waist from behind, whispering “V1” on my ears gently & softly, and then lift me up to the sky. I think I’m drunk while typing this. 😂
Thankfully we can know and learn from some of the aviation mistakes contained within this video. The inventor of Flight recorder / cockpit audio recorder was an Australian
Every incident that was shown. There are quite a few crashes where they were too badly damaged by fire to yield any information. And even that, too, led to improvements in the technology to make them more heat resistant.
Only 60 out of 90 are accounted for… rescue personnel board the plane to look for 30 bodies but there were no bodies… then the missing people were located.. but it could have been way worse… What?!
I've always been terrified to fly. But I have flown three times. Just to prove a point to sisters.. my morbid curiosity lands me on these channels every time. .
You know what? Every flight doesn't only bring some crew and passengers, but also some problems. I mean ... some preassure when something happens with the aeroplane. And it happens everytime it flies. Gosh!!! If a pilot works for 5 years, how many preassures he/she got!!! They must have their own way to handle themselves everytime they bring the flight.
I've watched most of these 2 or 3 times. I rarely run into one I haven't seen that's why I watch these compilations because that's the only way to find one I haven't seen
A: Jumping from it would have been certain death B: It probably sank so fast there was barely time to get out C: Humans can only swim on average 15 minutes at sea before they start to drown
Seems like hell breaks lose every time they disengage the autopilot. Maybe they need to turn it back on, when all hell breaks lose. It's worth a try, before crashing into the ground, if nothing else is working.
Re: change out of studs: I had this job on a particular component on board to remove the bolt-nut configuration to a stud-double nut configuration. The stud diameter was greater than 2” & a torque value of 10,000 ft.lbs. Now, I know why!
It’s hard to believe that 2 crashes happened a month between each other, both in 2007 (TAM 3054 on July 7 and Kenya Airways 507 on May 7) And then there were those 2 crashes in Tokyo..
My son’s pediatrician was killed in USAir 1493. I was shell shocked. Her and her husband were both well known drs here in Columbus, Ohio. Then my middle son was supposed to be on Bangla flight 211 into Kathmandu for his 2 year stint in the Peace Corps but thank goodness his team was delayed.
My Father was with United Airlines for 35 years He had 2 rules when flying, rule # 1 never ever ever fly on a 3rd world airline, rule # 2 get a seat as close to the tail as you can.
Your rule#1 sucks. I live in a "third" world country. The pilots are trained for safety and to make sure they take all the lives they carry in the airplane home. You're just privileged you are living in a "first" world country. We're the same. Our countries still have homeless people.there's no difference.
Yeah same here. Some of these have a little detail and you can pretty much take it from there. But some are just cut OFF with nothing. I mean WHY even tell us about it? That's just wrong.
"Incredibly, both black boxes survive the crash!" What a charging sentence. The black boxes are capable of sustaining 3,400Gs! There's nothing incredible about one "surviving" a plane crash.
"One passenger died on impact after being hit in the chest with a tray table."

Yeah im addicted too,can't get enough. So sorry for the ppl who lose their lives though,hats off to the heroes!!!!
Only 60 out of 90 are accounted for… rescue personnel board the plane to look for 30 bodies but there were no bodies…
then the missing people were located.. but it could have been way worse…
What?!
like where did they go???
I've always been terrified to fly. But I have flown three times. Just to prove a point to sisters.. my morbid curiosity lands me on these channels every time. .
🇺🇸God Bless Everyone and their families who have been lost in airline crashes!🇺🇸
Why the American flags lmao most of these are abroad
23:55 23:58 2 different liveries for the same airline.The B727 has the Northwest Orient livery whilst the DC-9 has the Northwest livery.
You know what?
Every flight doesn't only bring some crew and passengers, but also some problems. I mean ... some preassure when something happens with the aeroplane. And it happens everytime it flies. Gosh!!! If a pilot works for 5 years, how many preassures he/she got!!! They must have their own way to handle themselves everytime they bring the flight.

I had a seizure reading this, also it’s he/she/they not just he/she.

There are certain sequence procedures to follow. Not like your car. Get your license and do what you wish...
I love watching these so much I think I've watched them a thousand times addicted to them
Why do i keep watching this when I'm about to board the plane
Hope you made it ok because I am doing the same thing now. 😃
I've watched most of these 2 or 3 times. I rarely run into one I haven't seen that's why I watch these compilations because that's the only way to find one I haven't seen
am i the only one who goes on a plane crash marathon before going on a plane
Am addicted watching plane crushes
I'm finally early
Your comment was posted a hour ago but for me the video just got posted 30 minutes ago😂

Lmao
I'm addicted too of the Air Plane Crashes.
stupid question, but why couldn’t they get out of the helicopter as it went down? was it because of the pressure on the door?
A: Jumping from it would have been certain death
B: It probably sank so fast there was barely time to get out
C: Humans can only swim on average 15 minutes at sea before they start to drown
So I'm not alone....I'm addicted for real 😎
what a perfect video to watch when your dad is booking a ticket
for a flight
Did u do its been 3 months
50:40 pliot 1:Sir we have black smoke?
pliot 2:Yes
Hello from indonesia🇮🇩
Me too
Smithsonian and national geographic my FAV🥰🥰
Why are these documentaries better than any movie? 🤷🏻♂️
Best narrator in the business.
Seems like hell breaks lose every time they disengage the autopilot. Maybe they need to turn it back on, when all hell breaks lose. It's worth a try, before crashing into the ground, if nothing else is working.
Agreed
Lol good point.
@Joy Back dude I think he was joking. I’ve been flying for 13 years and it didn’t trigger me so calm down.
@cubingbaby So true, under circumstances like that.
Watching these unfortunate plane crash accidents is devastating
Re: change out of studs: I had this job on a particular component on board to remove the bolt-nut configuration to a stud-double nut configuration. The stud diameter was greater than 2” & a torque value of 10,000 ft.lbs. Now, I know why!
I was assigned changing wingbolts on a C 141. The torque wrench was 5 ft long & nut torqued to 35 foot pounds. Huge.
Always like these shows and still love to fly
It’s hard to believe that 2 crashes happened a month between each other, both in 2007 (TAM 3054 on July 7 and Kenya Airways 507 on May 7)
And then there were those 2 crashes in Tokyo..
What were the two crashes in Tokyo?
@@carinamurillo2150 It was a BOAC flight and a Canadian Pacific flight.
@@forgive_me_for_my_past ok, thank you
I'm addicted, yes, to this channel. LOL
So fun to watch!
Can't go a day without watching this
In this episodes Most of the pilots are young and good-looking somehow helps me to relieve my anxiety.
I feel more bad as the handsome pilots died in these tragedies 😭😭
My son’s pediatrician was killed in USAir 1493. I was shell shocked. Her and her husband were both well known drs here in Columbus, Ohio. Then my middle son was supposed to be on Bangla flight 211 into Kathmandu for his 2 year stint in the Peace Corps but thank goodness his team was delayed.
My Father was with United Airlines for 35 years He had 2 rules when flying, rule # 1 never ever ever fly on a 3rd world airline, rule # 2 get a seat as close to the tail as you can.
Your rule#1 sucks. I live in a "third" world country. The pilots are trained for safety and to make sure they take all the lives they carry in the airplane home. You're just privileged you are living in a "first" world country. We're the same. Our countries still have homeless people.there's no difference.
@@hdk07 Nowadays, yes but historically, no.
If your father's rule #1 is for 35 years ago, fair. Although aviation was generally terrible back then.
If it is for nowadays, not really.
There's no such thing such as first world,third world.It's a made up BS.
[Insert Camera Crew Joke]
The aires flight technically landed
did anyone saw sneaky sushii as a pilot? what amazing powers.
I would also like if they can please explain the accidents investigation afterwards please
Yeah same here.
Some of these have a little detail and you can pretty much take it from there.
But some are just cut OFF with nothing.
I mean WHY even tell us about it?
That's just wrong.
So addicted to watching this and i love flying
"Incredibly, both black boxes survive the crash!"
What a charging sentence. The black boxes are capable of sustaining 3,400Gs!
There's nothing incredible about one "surviving" a plane crash.
It is unfathomable to me how it's possible to make the scenes look so real
