Rest in Peace to all 7 people on board Flight 102, including Captain Jeremy Lipka(He was the relief captain for FL102 and was in the jumpseat at the occurrence of this crash) . One of the best pilots i knew, an amazing role model and teacher, i wouldnt be where i am now if it werent for him. He really was one of the best pilots i’ve ever seen, he knew the 747 like no one else did. He put his life into flying and loved it more than almost anything. Rest Easy.
Thanks for sharing, you all do an incredible job, sorry to hear that this happened to your teacher and role model.
Poor guy .. and crew . #life#is#cruel
One of the best pilots............I don't think so.
I found a broken strap. Ok thank you and go fly anyway? That does not sound like a good pilot to me. 100% his fault. He is the captain of the plane. Your judgement is faulty so I woukdn't fly with you either, PERIOD!
Johnny yuma
Hold on now. How do you know it wasn’t re-strapped? Most likely it was but the conclusion was that the loadmaster followed company policy, which did not meet not the manufacturer’s guidance. The pilot has to trust those working around him or her. This very unfortunate event may have been caused also by the extremely steep takeoff angle taken to avoid terrorist’s rockets. I bet they’re proud of that. Terrorists are idiots bent on destruction. Sad.
That's pretty harsh Johnny...
Also very sorry to hear about your loss Captain John
You might have seen this video already on this channel, but I can promise you that it’s not a reupload. I made this video from scratch and it took me almost a full week of work to finish it. Hope you’ll appreciate my work. Have a wonderful weekend ❤️
TheFlightChannel Great video as always.
I always watch all your videos, and as a pilot, I can say with pretty sure that they look so realist as real. Great job, really appreciate this video !
TheFlightChannel i absolutely appreciate your hard work vielen dank für alles 🙏🏻 much success to you and this channel in general friend.
Ok, good to have that out off the question list, you have a wonderful weekend as well TheFlightChannel
All your videos are great and much appreciated. The only comment I would make is that I find the text difficult to read when it is all in caps
As a USAF crew chief, we assisted frequently with cargo loading, and securing. We always knew the weight of the cargo, the straps and tie down capability. We never had a shortage of straps to properly secure the load. Rolling stock always received additional attention. There is no excuse for this crash, and the crew paid dearly for the mistake.
The pilots discussed the broken strap and re-securing the load, but why didn't they do it? Shifting loads are always dangerous on an aircraft or a ship for that matter.
Yea its the straps. it's *GROUND CREW NEGLIGENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Jeez, I can't even imagine what those last seconds must have been like. Seeing the ground approaching, the instrument panel going crazy, alarms going off "Terrain pull up!" "Bank angle" etc. Rip to these brave crew
And the important flight controls doing nothing. What a horrible feeling, if they had much time to even consider it.
was there anything they could do or the minute the truck moved and came loose they were fucked?
@@randomrazr the minute the center of gravity shifted aft they were doomed. that low and a sudden pitch up to vertical, their speed dropped to 0 and they fell out of the sky.
randomrazr
They were doomed the moment they saw the broken strap and decided to do nothing.
@@justinmiller5660 wuld inertial dampeners have helped
A friend of mine retired from the Air Force, he told me his main job was loading cargo on the big jets. At the time I thought, big deal, drive a forklift, drop cargo and go get some more. I know better now.
Scott Nichols I took a dump once and weighed it. 3 fkn lbs. can you imagine how I felt unloading that bitch. was hard push and had to do. 3 flushes after squashing the dump so it could flush. did that bare handed too just thought you liked to know
Too often conversations with servicemen and women only go as far as which branch they were in. I _always_ make a point of asking them what their job was and any details they want to share. There are thousands of jobs in the military, all with interesting details. This lets them know that you don't see them as just plug-in soldiers or sailors, they have skills and tremendous responsibilities they can be proud of.
@@franniebanani6532 lollollollol lmao it makes me lagh like graaaaggaggagaggagagghhhh hahahahahhahahah
@Tangerine Sky333 Trump makes the beta male liberal's pussy throb.
Scott, you'd be referring to 2T2's, Air Transportation better known as "Port Dawgs". While our job may seem mundane on the grand scope, it's these little details that can mean the difference.
So, I work as a loadmaster in the US Air Force (C-17). I’m the guy that secures palletized cargo and rolling stock (such as the vehicles in this clip) to the aircraft floor. With rolling stock, you use straps and/or chains (GBU straps or 10K chains) to secure the cargo. You have to calculate aft restraint, rear, and side restraints. Obviously whoever secured this cargo either didn’t make the proper calculations or the restraint devices they used were not in regulation or damaged. A buddy of mine was stationed at Bagram when this happened. It was civilian contractors who moved this cargo. They’re usually much more lax when it comes to securing cargo. Our worst fear in my job is this, known as a “load shift” mid flight. They usually always happen on takeoff or landings due to the higher G forces. I’ve secured 8-9,000 lb vehicles to cargo floors. It’s not fun. And you always keep this sort of thing in mind.
Imagine trying to push the nose down and nothing responding. I would be terrified.
It’s terrifying because if the nose was very steep, the plane would stall and crash
What's horrible in this crash is that pilots knew they were going to die with that angle. At least in other crashes where you can level the plane there is a slim hope that you will survive.

Anyone ever wish you could go back in time and show the pilots what would happen before they got on the plane... ?
wait wait wait! before you close that cargo door! take these straps.........
Hindsight........I think about that frequently when watching these videos
No, actually, and I'll tell you why: a lot of the innovations of today in airline safety happened *because* accidents like these proved that they were plausible. Sadly a lot of those accidents are done in a lab setting under perfect conditions, thus not creating the environment where they CAN happen in.
An example being one YT video I just watched where a plane had a fire in the cockpit that was caused by the insulation, same insulation that had PASSED all of the standards tests, but said tests were done - again - in a controlled environment rather than a standard one that such stuff would be in.
Thus if we go back into the past and prevent these incidents from happening, then we won't learn from our mistakes and thus make planes (and other tech) better and safer. I know it's a sad state of affairs, but changing the past can have *other* effects that we may not expect.
Benjamin A. Herder yes! Always.
Yeah you can do that if you're in final destination series. Can i add "lol"?
Imagine being a pilot and seeing the ground getting closer and closer towards you and then everything is pitch black and if you survive, imagine the pain... thank you, pilots, for risking your life to transport people and goods across the world!
RIP, pilots. They had no idea they were doomed before they even started. On another note, she was a beautiful bird.
My exact thoughts. What a beautiful plane.
Bads ayaa
I second that x
Stunning plane RIP to the Crew
@A Frustrated Gamer That's not the pilots' job.
You can tell it's not a re-upload cause the quality is much improved at the airport
Agreed
This is terrifying. Can't imagine the last few secs myself sitting in the cockpit trying to control a plane which is not responding and watching helplessly as the ground appears nearer and clearer with the last sound I'm hearing is a wild crash. 😱
I wonder if Flight 102 might have got away with the insecure loading of the 5 AFVs if they had decided not to carry out the normal (for Afghanistan) very steep climb after takeoff, and just did a normal shallow climb?
@Kenneth Ndirangu No. The vehicles rolled back during take off. The plane was doomed as soon as it hit V1.
@@SmackedInATL Where do you see that? The first indication of anything wrong was when they tried to retract the gear. But thats after the steep accent had started. So, imo the trucks broke loos on the innitial steep take off and before the gear was retracted. You dont retract the gear the second you leave the ground.
@@LiveWildandFree37 Did you read the NTSB report? The straps were installed at the wrong angles and could not hold the weight. This is why it was doomed as soon as it hit V1. Nothing could have saved the plane even on a normal ascent.
From how I'm reading it, and I could be wrong, they had already successfully taken off and landed once and were just refueling here...so I would think they could've avoided it without the steep climb.
Edit: I changed my mind. I think it was doomed regardless.
@@intothemystic5223 No, they were redeploying Australia or New Zealand vehicles back to their country.
An NTSB investigator on an episode of Air Crash Investigations once said words to the effect of... “That’s why we have backups to the backups backing up the backups so that we can fly with safety.” Well what happened to all those backups?
I remember my Dad telling me a story of when he was in World War II. He was in a military plane taking off and one of the vehicles in the plane came lose and traveling to the back of the plane and causing the plane to go almost straight up in the air. That plane was lucky and survived. RIP crew.
Glad your dad made it out of that jam alive. Straps to tie down such a heavy load? How about chains with come alongs?
Sad
I'm embarrassed to ask the question but- airplanes fly with vehicles as cargo?
@@gailgunderson5163- Very frequently. It is generally done when time of arrival is important. The hostile area and steep climb to avoid ground to air weapons, exacerbated the situation, maxing out the tie downs to and beyond their limits..
What WWII aircraft carried vehicles other than Jeeps in gliders?
Rest in peace to the people who died.
2-3 people...
@@thebrokenpilot still people with families, Loved ones, memories, real lives.

I agree with you. Whether it was one soul or five hundred aboard the flight, it is a tragedy for all connected to it.
Christian was only reporting how many souls were onboard when the flight crashed. He did not in any way imply that “oh, it’s only 2 or 3 people, so nothing to worry about”. His post was informational, not critical. Don’t read more into a statement than is really there. Respectfully, I think you might want to consider an apology to him.
@Tangerine Sky333 You're grade A+ triggered.
@@thebrokenpilot 7 actually.
The actual footage of this crash was unbearably sad. Condolences to the loved ones of these men.
Watching TheFlightChannel is addicting. It has taught me that flying is about 200 years away from being perfected.
The way u remake the crashes is just too amazing RIP to the pilots and keep up the good work man👍👍
The crew was dealt a double blow with the change in CG and the damage to controls. They would be extremely lucky to overcome either problem, but both problems combined was just plain impossible.
Just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work you do on these videos. I’m fascinated and watch these videos to learn from them so I really appreciate your hard work
Very important to know how to properly secure a load. Be it on land, sea or air. I used to build/ transport & operate working model roller coaster models. There were several places in the state of Texas where I did model train shows. There were at least 3 places I'd chain the coaster to the "low boy" trailer I owned. The furthest destination was Dallas, TX. Regardless, I still had to make sure my load was secure & safe 4 not only ME, but also the motoring public. I did so many years without incident. Not, bragging, as there were "several" close calls. It could have easily went south as it did for this crew. Rest in Peace my soldiers. Michael T.
And to think that they were making the steep ascent to avoid a ground attack...
This is unsubstantiated by the official reports and appears to be conjecture, at best, on the part of the animation maker.
Very good remake. Definitely worth watching again!
Keep doing great stuff.
Not a good remake at all. Too many telling facts and details were left out.
Just love your animations!! Puts your videos way above everyone else's.
I was thinking of sending a message, asking for this. Glad I waited as it's already here. Keep up the great work!!
THANK YOU AGAIN!!! for such well done vidios BUT!!! most of all AGAIN! is how respectfull you are to the crews and passagers who lose thier lives!! your work is way above the trash that others put out,, i personaly think you realy work hard on these to get the end result ,GOD BLESS you!
RIP The crew! So sad... And im early that’s good! Please keep the amazing work up! You are so amazing!
Hope the "loadmaster" and cheap airline are ashamed
@@BrownEyePinch lll}ì
Dave G the loadmaster isn’t to blame, he had done his job correctly according to airline standards, he didn’t know any better. He was just doing his job, the airline are to blame
@douglas wahid it was for all their cargo, the airline had been doing it incorrectly all along, boeing even said to them that they were less than impressed with it, the loadmaster was doing his job to the airlines standards because that's how they trained him. The aircrew was doing everything perfectly to airline standards, but the airline itself had very bad standards, it was a lose/lose situation for the whole crew, they could never had known
You have shed new light to me about this crash, the dash am video of it looks absolutely terrifying! Fantastic work yet again
Thanks for doing a video on this crash. I remember seeing the dashcam footage of this. I was like wtf happened? But this clears it up!
The time spent reworking this video shows; great work! I'm curious though; what if anything happened to the ground crew that failed to secure the load properly?
Good Question, they'll have it on their conscience forever.
It was because they used a special technique never used so it would be stronger but they were wrong ground crewws fault
Probably not, given that they were following National Airlines own Tech Manual (and not the load strap manufacturers’). In their mind, they did nothing wrong.
The person(s) who wrote that single line, “...eh, don’t bother with the specific angle of the tie-down strap, any angle will keep the strength of the strap intact.” (I paraphrase) bears the responsibility for the crash, imho.
Thank you for all of your efforts in making these videos. It is a job well done!
What the video does not say is that there was a second crew with an additional mechanic on board. I knew this mechanic from CKS.
RIP dude, you were cool!
The 747 is a beautiful aircraft! It's hard to believe it can haul such heavy vehicles like that.
The vehicle that came lose also severed the cockpit voice recorder as there’s no audio prior to impact. Can only imagine the horror the pilots expressed in the final moments.
Only some haters would dislike such a great work..🙄 😍😍😍
Or just afraid to fly

Great video! Thanks for updating it, this is a lot better. R.i.p to the crew.
Oh my god man, you are the best, keep doing this nice work! :3
Thanks, yes I had seen this before, but your rework is fantastic. I suppose we can say "Lessons have been learned", but it is a truly harsh learning cycle that kills all on board, RIP.
Thanks again for your work, as you must know it is much appreciated, your almost full week of work, is worth it.
Respect..watched every single video of yours..great work..saluts from Lebanon
This happened just shortly after I left Bagram on my last deployment. Some of the guys that replaced us watched this thing crash. There's also a live dash cam video from a security forces patrol that captured it on here.
very sad due to the conversation the crew had before take off. i just read it off the ntsb report. they knew it was sketchy and joked about it even but they thought the re-strapping done at bagram would have taken care of it. so damn sad. rip to the crew.
I suppose the moral of the story is if you are going to transport 18 ton vehicles on wheels, then you better make damn sure the bloody things can't move! Another beautifully detailed disaster by the best flight channel on TH-cam
That's obvious in the hindsight. The crew did what they thought was enough to secure the cargo, but they did not know better than they did, and it was not enough to do safely what they were doing. That's why the accident happened.
@@terohann They increased the up angle which caused the loads to shift - then the straps failed as the engines went to 100% or more. We don't know if the brakes were set on the vehicles but the high pitch would have let them slide.
It was the vertical mounting of the tie-down straps for securing the cargo that caused them to fail under the resulting overload, which caused the load to shift and then the rest of the accident sequence to occur. All this was a result of systemic problems in National that prevented them to carry out safely the operation they were trying to do.
Tragic but I hope the video helps to further safety procedures going forward. Videos on this channel are so well done.
When I saw the crash on the news, I suspected that moving cargo was the cause, not because I'm super clever, but because I read about a similar incident in the book "Fate Is The Hunter."
Hanging on the edge of a stall in a DC3, they were saved when one of the crew went back and dragged a stack of steel girders, one by one, forwards.
Nicely done and the only public release of what happened that made any sense.
If the 5 vehicles were not properly secured, then their center of gravity has shifted anywhere dangerously.
I really love your videos. It gives me some aviation knowledge as an aspiring pilot. I have even downloaded most of them and watch them offline
Very good depiction of what occurred. I was there a few weeks later...saw the accident scene...crazy.
Awesome job, theflightchannel!❤
The dash cam footage of this from a vehicle heading toward the airfield is haunting. I swear you can see the very second the center of gravity shifts from the truck rolling loose, and you just know it’s done for in that moment.
I can’t even imagine being on it. Maybe because I’ve seen real footage, idk... But just watching the pitch and stall, brief moment of pause, and then the dive makes my stomach do flips. The moment after the stall is especially hard for me to watch , for some reason. It’s like the plane is frozen in space and time for a terrifying but hopeful moment, before just free falling to the ground.
And 7 people were onboard and died, not just the 3 I saw listed (although it certainly could have been mentioned in the video somewhere that I missed).
I will buy one of your t shirts to show my support for your amazing work.
As usual amazing quality and work bro !!!! Keep going !!!!
My condolences go to those who passed away in this terrible accident.😔
I’m so proud of your channel! You’ve come so far with your videos.

The large fireball upon impact may have been related to having a lot of fuel in the tanks after refueling.
You can find a video of the full crash that was caught on someone’s car dashcam if you search for the airfield. Great vid btw

vid?
What a terrifying way to go. So sad those pilots knew they were done for as soon as the stick shaker activated. Even if you gave them a couple thousand more feet in altitude there was no chance of recovering from the stall considering how heavy the cargo was and that it came loose. And then on top of that no hydraulics?? Man those pilots didn't stand a chance , just sad man.
So they found a broken strap, talked about re-securing the cargo, then decided not to do it?

@Thomas Whyte oh I know want u mean lol
@Thomas Whyte makes me sad but makes me happy because I see how realistic and quality this video is
My father used to check every load he ever transported, even had classes the loaders had. He would never start a flight without checked every single load. Shame the crew did not. They would be alive today if they were properly trained and checked everything.
Ur week was well worth it for us watches!it was really interesting and informative!The annoying thing what hurts is it takes a plane crash for the airlines to change there safety and training program!To try and avoid further accidents.
Nice video! My suggestion for the next video is the Manchester United air tragedy in Munich!
Rest in peace 20 year old 747, you served us well.
747 - best plane ever in the Boeing Fleet. I always felt 'safe' when flying on any of them. Some flew at over 30 years old, a testament to a great plane.
7 people lost their lives and you’re saying rest in peace to a machine?
@@Zs0902 Yeah, some people...
They knew they were doomed and knew exactly when they would die. I can’t imagine the absolute fear that they had for those last several seconds.
Video was really nicely put together 👍🏼
When I read the official report I couldn't believe what I was reading.
But, then again, I spent my military time in C-130s and C-141s, where hauling this type of load is an everyday thing. In all those years, I never saw a heavy vehicle secured with STRAPS. We used CHAINS on all heavy loads, and the Loadmasters and Aerial Port personnel would always use angle charts to calculate the usable strength.
I know that technology has come a long way, but you still need to know the basics.
This company had a very poor reputation.
Yea. The fact that they use straps instead of chains baffles me.
The cargo floor on 747s is made of fiberglass and doesn't have the same tiedown points like C130s and C17s do. Straps is pretty much the only way to go with loads like these.
An accident that could have been avoided. Rip to the crew
This one hits a little closer to home than most of the others you post. I was stationed at Bastion in 2014, relieving the USAF Transportation Specialists that were out there. One of them had gotten on this aircraft before it left, noticed that the MRAPs were secured with cargo straps and mentioned it, though nothing was done. I'm not sure if anything COULD have been done. We never transport heavy vehicles on grey tails with straps, it's always been chains. Unfortunately these commercial airlines aren't equipped with the tie down rings that would restrain them properly. It's a sad lesson that cost this crew their lives, and a reminder to our guys that when we load these aircraft, we are indeed putting their lives in our hands. RIP.
discovered your channel just few days ago & now im addicted. got used to the large fonts too. lol
Great video! There really isn't much room for error when it comes to flying. Hopefully, proper protocol will always be followed to the letter in future flights/
There is video available shot from someone’s dash cam that actually shows this aircraft coming down and impacting the ground. Very sad.
Great job flight Channel. Scary to think that the angle of straps could play such an important part in fixing a load. Well done explanation love your Channel thank you for showing us the detail involved in this accident. Continued good luck in processing future videos for us to view.
I was waiting for this!

Echoing your comment x
I watched this on the news. So sad. Was not sure of what actually happened to cause this tragedy. Watching this video helped me to understand. My deepest condolences to all the families.
Love your channel so much. Addicted!!!
Your videos are so depressing but so interesting and I can't stop watching them
I believe that the FDR, or CVR was unusable because it became dislodged after the vehicle(s) broke through the aft bulkhead and jackscrew as well...?? A huge issue for any commercial aircraft would be damage to the rear stabilizer, especially the jackscrew! Basically there's nothing the crew could do after that would happen! The actual footage from this accident is horrifying and sad. The plane was in an unrecoverable stall and literally just fell from the sky. Sad. I do want to thank you for another great production! A+! 🇨🇦
The FDR and CVR were both recovered and presented investigators with
valuable data. The only hangup was both stopped working shortly after
the aircraft took off, not long after the fatal load-shift damage occurred.
Its quite a sight seeing a 747 pause in midair, swing to the right, drop straight down while tipping left and slam into the ground.
I’ve watched so many of these. Who would have thought this would be interesting. You go into so much detail that I now know what an aft is.
Beautiful recreation and editing.
I watched that plane leave Bastion just like the dozens before it. We got word immediately from other flight crews what had happened at Bagram and my heart sank though the desert floor. Cargo loading procedure adherence cannot be over stated. This was a failure in leadership and technical training.
I've had the pleasure or displeasure as you may working with National. As the airline I was with hadnt received their new aircrafts yet. They wet leased Nationals 757. God lord how theyre in business today is beyond me. I was always genuinely concerned for passengers safety whenever they got on the aircraft. There were always mechanical issues. It was a rough, and i mean rough looking aircraft. I remember one time the aircrafts flaps got stuck when they were in the air, not long after take off. They returned back to the airport, and their crew was just awful. Never saw such an unprofessional crew. I was not surprised when I saw the national logo in the thumbnail.
Thx for the dedication!!!
Awesome work on a very emotional subject !
