  • Saudia Flight 163 was a scheduled Saudia passenger flight that caught fire after takeoff from Riyadh International Airport (now the Riyadh Air Base) en route to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on 19 August 1980. All 287 passengers and 14 crew on board the Lockheed L-1011-200 TriStar died from smoke inhalation after the aircraft made a successful emergency landing at Riyadh.
    The accident is the deadliest involving a Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, as well as the deadliest aviation disaster to occur in Saudi Arabia. At the time, this was the second deadliest aircraft accident in the history of aviation involving a single aeroplane after Turkish Airlines Flight 981.

    A very delayed upload, took me a long time to perfect it. this video is also my first video with a voice over and completely new music ! as i said on my community posts, there are a few changes to the episodes, Jal123, The Lockerbie Disaster, British Airways Flight 09, etc will all be soon featured on the channel!
    Hope You all enjoyed the video.

    Moral of the story: Always get into action for your own safety even when a problem you encounter is minor, because you'll never know if/when the small problem can become serious enough to put your life in jeopardy. Because look, 30+ years after Saudia 163, when British Airways Flight 2276 in 2015 and American Airlines Flight 383 in 2016 caught fire and evacuatated all passengers on time, it shows that investigators in both accidents have finally learned the lessons from the past about aircraft evacuation procedures during a fire taking hold.

    It's quite difficult to take in both text on screen and voice-over if the voice-over says something different to the text shown. Also, the voice-over sounds rather like a computer-generated voice - if that's the case, try using your own, it'll improve the quality of the video.

    I used to fly for Saudia.. The shell of this aircraft used to be parked at an unused end of an airfield for many years and of course part of our safety training involved an overview of this incident so every crew member knew about this incident even in later years..
    On the rare occassion s our crew bus would go past this aircraft, I remember two times, we would all just fall silent and the mood would just change.. We would grieve for those who lost their lives and were also reminded how dangerous our job was, usually it was just another day at the office , and this was a stark reminder that one day we might not come back home..

    • @miskyloo887
      @miskyloo887 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@khalid_tahir well, this was a story that went around no idea if it was true.. when an aircraft declares an emergency they get absolute priority....from what I remember there were some definite facts that are known and one was that the aircraft taxied right to the end of the runway , where as usually in an emergency situation where you were actually able to land ,the pilot should hit the brakes as hard as he could to quickly halt, so here fire and and rescue had to get rush behind the aircraft to the end of the runway , also the engines weren't turned off after landing so they couldn't approach the doors, all of this caused delays, and when they did reach the doors they couldnt open them as the interior was still pressurized.. ..obviously the fire contributed to these malfunctions and smoke inhalation did the rest.. There was no evacuation ordered by the captain either but since crew were found still strapped in they were probably incapacitated by then..
      Its heartbreaking that they made it to the ground but couldn't get out.. This was in 1980 and I don't know what the rules were then but when I was with the airline we didn't have to wait for the pilot to give the order to evacuate, any crew member who evaluated the situation and thought there was an imminent threat to life could initiate evacuation , no questions asked.. Hell of a responsibility and God help you if it was a wrong decision but at least you didnt have to wait on someone who could not even see what you could see.. and a lot of the time the cockpit can't see what's happening at the back..
      I guess a lot of rules have changed for the better as the industry learned from previous mistakes..

      I lived in Riyadh as a kid and saw the aftermath of this accident the next day…then the charred remains of the plane for a couple of years afterwards, every time we took off from or landed in the city. It was extremely upsetting and I still have a flying phobia decades later.
      The Saudis also used to leave vehicles involved in deadly car crashes untouched. It was supposed to make people drive more safely.
      As a young girl, I found it all to be psychologically terrorizing.

    most of them were alive, they all died while the plane sat there (Evidenced by most of the remains being found in the forward part of HZ-AHK). the flashover of the fire was caused by the opening of the R2-Door. it introduced new oxygen to the fire. there is a theory that if they left the door closed. the fire would've died out, would it have saved anyone? no. all passengers were dead prior to the opening of the R2-door. but they were all still alive after the landing. sadly incompetence and ignorance from the flight crew (the 3 pilots) killed all the people in the cabin. i do not wanna be the person that removed those bodies from the plane. it must've been a hard job (if there were any remains left after the flash-over
