Common problem during evacuations. There was talk of making the overhead bins auto lock during an evacuation, but it was felt the selfish would just stand there waiting for them to open or argue that they should be opened.
My late husband always commented that if anyone could survive a plane crash it would be me. If people were taking their time, I would be hurtling myself across the seats like a pro.
I remember similar case last year in Russia, where many people died in smoke and fire, because stupid idiots slowed evacuation down to grab their bags, idiots!
People who evacuate an aircraft with their luggage in an emergency egress should be charged with a crime for jeopardizing the safe evacuation of other passengers.
And on that video, I would have been tempted to take anyone with luggage on them and charge them with reckless endangerment. In an evacuation, leave the luggage behind.
Credit to pilots and flight attendants for keeping these passengers safe during these terrifying moments. Many would freeze up, but they spring into action. Be nice to your flight attendants, they save lives.
It seems like they didn't based on the interviews given from passengers in the clip. They said no one was telling them what was going on or giving instructions and took forever before exit door opened so they could get off . Smoke was already filling inside. The pilots were probably arguing being the captain got fired for their part in crash.
I'm just wondering why the 747 didn't just continue n with its flight to Vega and land light the same way he did at Gatwick except without dumping thousands of gallons of Petroleum in the waterways .. To me its a No brainer .. either way the plane had to land right ?
What happened in the crash depends on the position the Airlines is financially and what kind if a crash the airlines as a company can survive and who is in charge of releasing the investigation information. Yeah I know it sounds like an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory , I know, but it’s the sad reality we live in today when corporate profits and dividend payouts are the controlling factors to most of our corporate influence and priorities today🤷🏻♂️.
A Canadian legend from 1983- “The Gimli Glider”. The jumbo jet ran out of fuel halfway through its trip, lost all power, and luckily, the pilot was also an experienced glider pilot who was able to safely glide it to land at an abandoned Air Force runway in Gimli, Manitoba (also missing two boys on bikes and a local amateur race club who were there by just a few hours!).
What if the pilot was depressed and had problems at home, facing divorce, forclosure and repossession of his vehicle(s)? You never know what people are going through.
@@nocare they are also ending production on them finally soon as well. Boeing plans to deliver the last production 747 to atlas air in early 2022 iirc. They've had a great run though still great planes
After I heard him say that I went to the comments and this was the top comment, I thought the same I get what he was saying but felt it was a ill placed comment, I didn't like it but I understand its a interview so who knows how it was cut but yeah didn't it fit right.
The guy in the intro who said that he remembered hoping that they wouldn’t land in a school or hospital seems like a good person. Even in a moment where his life could easily be taken if they crashed he was thinking about others
The naivete is astonishing. I would like to think such consideration is absolutely baseline in any decent person. Ar the same time, you should be well aware that plenty of inconsiderate people will gladly say those things into a camera when in fact they did not care at all in the moment
My 16 year old son directed me to this, and as a long time pilot ( and still flying triple 7 aircraft) I have something to say. Your just as awesome as Hollywood at making movies. I will give you some credit. The ground dwellers add a degree of true entertainment.
@@EyecerXD I do not, and sorry about your color blindness. I tell my AME at every physical, “ what’s the big deal, I can read”. Sometimes I get a laugh.
3:44 - "...took a while ... before anyone did anything." They likely were getting the engines shut down. You DO NOT want to go out most parts of the plane with the engines still running unless you're literally about to die in the cabin, and those things don't exactly stop like a car engine.
I love how this video goes into detail on why each of these incidents happens and doesn't just list them and maybe a cause. Asking a pilot to take a look at the report and do a simulation of the flight? Top notch effort! Also, love the breakcore bongos!
That piece of the engine finally collapsing down at 28:13 felt like the plane was sighing in relief. Also, it's frightening to see how many plane crashes are caused by maintenance errors or faulty repairs.
Worse, sometimes it's not pilot or mechanic failure. Sometimes it is the tech manual. As a retired mechanical/electrical tech writer, I've seen what can happen when maintenance manuals have the wrong instructions after upgrading parts. QC big time.
When I see mechanics open & close panels so easily, makes you wonder how secure they are under flight conditions, no matter how the mechanic secures the panel.
Over 80% of crashes are caused by human error on the ground during maintenance or assembly. Yes there are other things and fatigue, but those are the exception, not the norm.
Many US airlines use third world companies to do inspections and required repairs and general maintenance. I was a licensed aircraft mechanic from 62 until 1980. I worked on four engine cargo planes such as the DC-6, DC-8 and early jet powered passenger planes such as the Boeing 707. All commercial multi engine aircraft are extremely complicated, third world aircraft mechanics are not formally trained, rather they learn by doing and are paid very little. Pilot error is the leading cause of aircraft accidents according to the FAA,while the great majority of US airline pilots are trained here in the USA and yet they are responsible for the majority of airline crashes (including collisions with another airliner while flying). Landing accidents are the most common. Airliners are at greatest risk of crashing when maneuvering for a landing. These are the photos most commonly shown on these videos.
For that flight where it landed on 3 wheels instead of 4, the guy said "One of the pilot's daughter was on the plane" and proceeded to say that because of that, you know you're going to land safely. But everyone would be wanting to rescue themselves, even if the pilots were alone without family members on the flight. It is an oath they take before being a pilot to try their best to keep everyone safe.
@@WhiteGuysMadder Yes but you probably also drive safer if you have other people im the car than when you are alone, right? That is because now you have responsibility of others and not just yourself. And that is the same with pilots.
I actually have really bad anxiety when it comes to flying (I've only had good flights btw). This channel believe it or not actually helps because it makes me realize how strict airlines are with safety.
@k…this type of informative video sheds the measures airlines take to ensure you will have a smooth enough ride. I have flown yrs ago through thunderstorms that appeared out of nowhere. I had car sickness, as a child, but that was because the few car rides I had were in a diesel car and that smell was unbearable to me. When I left my native country for the US everyone (family) was concerned that flying on a plane would make me sick but that was not the case.
Yeah, I think it's helpful to see these scenarios happen and to see what the passengers actually do, what it's actually like, rather than it being some chaotic unknown. So now I can imagine, what would I do in this situation.
“Flight is mans second greatest achievement. Landing is his first”. “Any landing that you can walk away from, is a good landing”. ~Old Aviation Expressions.
I watch these types of videos all the time and the second story with the landing gear stuck, really stood out to me. To land safe like that really took a great pilot. Landing is always the scary part for me, everyone is excited to land, and they start getting their stuff ready so they can hurry and move out, and I am just freaking out inside and I can't move or let go of the arm rest till the airplane is at a full stop.
After surviving a business class passenger get a call from his boss "You were in a plane crash wow! Did you get the laptop???" - People are ridiculous.
I would let the boss knew I could not grab the lab top......due to the “chaos” of evacuation. That the NTSB would give it back once everything is secure. When the “Miracle in the Hudson” occurred, the NTSB was impeccable about returning items to passengers. They even made sure people got their correct toothbrushes, cloths, and water logged laptops back. Cleaned them up to.
Love the douche in selfie mode recording himself looking back at the plane. Gotta keep those priorities straight... The world must see your face after the crash!
On my very first flight ever, we experienced tons of turbulence, and landed with big *BANG* that felt like the plane bottomed out. People were actually screaming. The guy next to me told me that was the scariest flight he has ever taken in his life, but since I had never flown before I didn't know how bad it was until I flew again and had a smooth experience. Wild.
Jen reminds me of my first flight as a young girl. I was terrified, and turned to the businessman next to me sipping his vodka. I asked him if it gets easier, and he replied that each time he flies he needs more and more of his drinks. Oy! To this day I still wonder if he was pulling my leg.
Genuinely, if you are ever on a flight and you felt something seriously unsafe happened, report it! If nobody got hurt and no damage came to the plane or the runway, it's a good chance the pilots didn't even mention it to the crew that took over the plane after them. But if they messed up, they messed up, you won't even be threatening their jobs(unless it's deserved) because the airline industry doesn't care about pointing fingers they care about safety so they train more, not get fired.
I have flown into St .Barts not once, but twice. Both times, the pilots did a flawless job. Not going to lie It was scary as hell. I didn't realize how difficult that landing strip really was, even experiencing it firsthand as a passenger. Bravo to the pilots who got us safely down. We definitely owe our lives to you.
I love how the person doing the recreation of the highway landing had a car pass on the right under the wing. They know Jersey drivers. They were either not paying attention to the plane landing in front of them, thought it was a race, or were thinking "I ain't getting stuck behind this shitshow!"
As I was about 8 miles out from landing my small plane at Danbury CT (KDXR) at night back in 1990, we started getting pelted by dime-sized hail from a weather front that was at least 3 or 4 miles from us. The top of the cumulonimbus clouds were throwing the hail miles away - very impressive and scary - and louder than you could ever imagine. That was traveling at 115 knots - I can't imagine what it would sound like traveling at jet speeds over 400knots!
@@lanarita11 Actually, that happens a lot with airplanes. It’s called Depower Repower, (in the US) if things come back normally, you’re usually good to go.
Pretty much everyone jumping off that 737 had their carry on with them. Never underestimate how selfish people can be when it’s everyone for themselves.
Yea but remember, the crew held everyone on the plane until 1st responders got there & opened the emergency exits. Those ppl had a few minutes just sitting there waiting to get off. If I were in the situation, I would have probably grabbed my backpack that I usually travel with also.
Have you seen people at everyday places like stores and what not? They don't even acknowledge other people exist nevermind have any kind of ability to do anything but for themselves. Until people start waving at each other again on the street, we should expect to see this behavior.
Watching this makes me appreciate the TH-cam air disaster channel's videos even more, without all this overdramatization, instead going much deeper into what actually went wrong - which often turns out to be a whole long chain of events.
It really f`s me up that people actually slide down with their luggage. Those slides are super strong but honestly if it raptures due to some carry on it will cost lives.
Typical journalists.... Like they always write after an accident "...despite the fact that the wings had separated from the aircraft, the hero pilots directed the aircraft to an open field to avoid injuring anyone on the ground..."
@17:31 (paraphrased) "Pilot's daughter is on the airplane, give you confidence that he'll land it safely" Kind of a dumb thing to say. Daughter or not, I think most people want to stay alive so just having the pilot being on the airplane is "confidence" enough of him wanting to land it safely.
@@JeannieLorene or due to that motivation make a mistake because instead of focusing on flying he was thinking about his daughter. First officer on Air France 447 that crashed in the Atlantic Ocean had his wife onboard, and he was the reason the plane crashed after small turbulence, killing everyone.
When you can carry over 400 people, you should have impements that let you see your landing gear with your own eyes. Like a camera that can pop out. Or a clear floor. It's utterly insane that pilots can only see out a window that's barely bigger than a standard house window.
I agree. Cameras around the plane could probably help pilots land too, like in games and stuff, where camers outside of the plane make it easier to land.
@@zerotodona1495 I suppose, but it would save time and fuel if you didn't have to fly over the tower so the controllers could check. Also, I think the window would be really good for keeping an eye out for smaller planes that might be beneath you.
This one of the things my mom made sure I remember to do during my first flight. I flew without my family and just had friends and my professors with me. I'm really afraid of the heights and all. But I had to go. My mom really reitarated that I should wear my seatbelt throughout the flight. No matter what. So I did and will keep doing it. Also told my friends to do so.
Time 23:30…. As a pilot of 40 years I’ve been on many flights where the entire cabin is screaming like it is here. The fact is, the aircraft itself is fine. No one should be screaming and panicking. The way most people get hurt, is because they don’t have their seatbelt fastened properly. Or, on rare occasion from flying debris. People have the foolish idea that their seatbelt is there to save them if the plane crashes. It is NOT. The seatbelts main purpose, is to tightly hold you in your seat when the plane enters turbulence. During moderate to severe turbulence you can become weightless and if not strapped down you will fly out of your seat and smash against the ceiling of the aircraft. Your seatbelt is there to keep that from happening. The turbulence encountered, is harder on the human body than on the airplane. The plane can take much more turbulence and be perfectly safe, while people unbelted are flying around getting seriously injured. The point is, always wear your seat belt and always have it snugged down to hold you in place, and you’ll do fine through turbulence.
I like the part where the passengers were consoled by the fact the pilot would land safely because his daughter was on the plane. I promise you that may have been a factor but I promise you I'd do everything possible because I have no desire to be the first to arrive at the crash scene.
Yea fr I heard that and was like what?? These pilots fly hundreds of people every day and you think they only care if a family member is on board? wack.
Pilots shouldn't be allowed to have their family members on a commercial flight. More than anything else, they need to remain as calm as possible to think clearly. Having your kid there would only serve to distract from the task and make matters worse.
Yes, that was a truly ignorant comment made..... assuming that the pilot, for some unknown reason, will exact a more perfect landing because his daughter is on board. Amazing !!
@@aarondavis8943 Chances are they are too busy flying the plane and working out problems to think of anything else. They can get the shakes after they are safely on the ground. My husband's helicopter took a hit and it affected the oil case, which was leaking. He did think about me and our baby girl, but kept flying the ship and got it to safety, thank God. All those years ago, now and I still thank God he got the ship and everyone in it safely on the ground.
My father was an aircraft mechanic and had told us to always keep our seatbelts on unless we had to use the latrine. In 1985 I was flying to Honolulu to visit family and for the first time in my life, after more flights than I can count, our plane hit severe turbulence that caused overhead bins to open in various places and drinks and food trays were everywhere. I had gone through a few anomalies in past years but nothing like that flight. Luckily, and miraculously, injuries were very minor (though they ran out of barf bags), which was a blessing because we were past the midway point and could only continue on to Honolulu. Watching a couple of these videos about turbulence brought back a memory I had frankly forgotten. I'm glad the videos selected for this program had good outcomes. Nicely done.
I fly a lot and had lots of rough flights, but one of my worst flights due to severe turbulence,was a short haul flight with Aloha from Honolulu to Hilo... The lady beside us was praying the whole way. Both my husband and I - were so happy when we landed ,but then the nightmare was all over again, later that day on our return to Honolulu. Apparently - a weather like this is normal in that part of the World. I don't envy these crews.
If it was just some clothing and stuff I would just leave it, but if it contained things like a laptop with important work-related data, an expensive camera or something like this I don't think I would be able to trust the fire fighters to save it in case the plane catches fire later. If there is no apparent danger like a fire already raging outside, I would probably also take my 10 seconds or so grabbing my bag. I mean as long as I'm not standing in the main way holding off other people, what difference does it make if I stand in my seat row for 10-20 seconds doing nothing and waiting for people to move or if I pick up my bag in that time and hold it close to me while leaving the plane
Exactly my thoughts! Look at 6:08 and that stupid Asian couple... yes I call them stupid, because on every plane they explain in case of emergence LEAVE all your belongings on the plane... This couple took 4 bags and even a stupid headrest with them! Unbelievable... They got very lucky that the plane did not catch fire. In an emergency every second could mean the difference between living and dying onboard.
idk if they are allowed in other country but whenever i travel, i have a small pack i carry with me all the time with important documents in it. My clothes and souvenirs bought are not important that i'm willing to lose them during emergency.
$200,000,000 aircraft, state-of-the-art glass cockpit instruments, thousands of man-hours dedicated to safety and maintenance... Doesn't have a simple camera on the exterior of the aircraft so the pilots can see the wings or landing gear. I have watched TONS of aircraft crash documentaries and I can't tell you how many times lives could have been saved by a cheap camera that comes standard on most phones
28:05 Passengers were like "thanks for landing back safely and even the engine COVER was like "You're welcome!" 😆 Horrific situation but timing can't be better.
@@clagoeiro That has actually happened. There was a plane some time ago which catched fire after landing and the passengers were told to evacuate immediately but some morons decided to block the exits trying to get their bags and some people had no time left to evacuate and died engulfed in fire. I think it was in Russia but I'm not 100% sure. UPDATE: Yes, it was in Russia in 2019. 41 died. This video analyses the details and causes of the tragedy: th-cam.com/video/Gt2iMYv15bY/w-d-xo.html
@@almarma This is very sad. These people unwillingly killed other because they are stupid. Most people will run fast and naked from certain death. Having stuff does not mean anything if you are dead, or causing the death of others. My god, this is so sad.
The most nerve-wracking thing about this video is listening to that guy say that turbulence will get worse and more frequent. normal turbulence gives me a heart attack.
Zach he was wrong. Most of the worse turbulence is predictable and can be avoided. Did you know that every day airline routes (called tracks) across the N. Atlantic are moved north and south depending on where the forecasted turbulence is. I just retired flying for a major airline and in all my time have only experienced severe turbulence once and that lasted less than 5 seconds. Enjoy your next flight.
I experienced turbulence a few times and it was scary. I have basiphobia/basophobia and that had me panicking. That’s why I always sleep during flights so that I won’t feel the turbulence. That saved me from having a panic attack.
I always watch a bunch of plane crash videos before a flight. I think it prepares you to be prepared for an emergency and to actually think about how to.evacuate if necessary.
I mean, it was a good idea. Sometimes doing the simplest things can fix entire problems. Obviously, it was deeper than just being stuck, so shaking the plane didn’t do anything- but there are plenty of instances where pilots overthink and possibly cause a crash (like in that first one) rather than just doing what seems like the simplest option. Of course, that doesn’t work every time, but it doesn’t hurt to try :)
I used to live in Colorado Springs, and I know about hail! I've seen hail fill up an intersection of two 6-lane roads to the windows of the cars in it in a matter of 15-20 minutes! In no way to diminish what those passengers on that flight went through, yeah, it can be bad, bad, bad!
I've experienced extreme turbulence, lightning strikes, power outages, and free fall on flights before. I think the scariest thing is when other passengers get worked up over everything and start screaming, praying, or saying goodbye. Someone always has to take the situation and dial the stress up to 10.
So fling true. Im CPL charter pilot, when we do cargo we sometimes strap in and go straight through turbulence most of people cant even imagine. Closest to what i can explain is being in a supersized washer-dryer, but staying mostly upright. And most planes are built for that, including all airliners. The wing strain testing is insane, these things can bend almost 80* up and down without breaking, if we are talking medium to large sized multi-engine jet aircraft. I wont be able to count how much time if we hit a wake turbulence or a bit of a bumpy air, we had most of people just ignore it, this one idiot who doesn’t strap in, and that one couple who are praying. Remember the guy who broke neck in the video in turbulence? Thats why the belts are there. He’s got thrown up and smashed his head against the ceiling.
@@Blueknight1960 that’s the thing about panicking. People don’t want to do it. It feels terrible for them too but fear is fear and almost nobody is immune to it at some point 🤷🏻♀️ Be the calm person who helps if you can be.
That guys who made the New York comment was a rockstar. Talk about making the best of a bad situation. That man has my respect for how he handled himself in the middle of a crisis.
I have evacuated an Alaska Airlines B727-300 in SeaTac at night after sliding off the runway and I have to say, even with smoke filling the fuselage everyone evacuated calmly and QUICKLY, Once on the ground we were so far from everything people ran everywhere, it took about 45 minutes to find and count everyone. EDIT: I helped 19 people out the rear slide, then looked around until my eyes adjusted to the dark. I then followed the skid marks 400 meters back to the runway and stood there, lit a smoke and said to myself - they won't land another plane here until they find this one.... Man did I need that smoke.
Being military for 24 years and contractor for 20 years I did a lot of flying. I had my share of turbulence, but never as bad as one time flying from Huntsville, AL to Atlanta, GA. Thunderstorm alley. It was only the second time I was really nervous on a plane - the other time being an approach into Colorado Springs.
Sir if i may why is the pilot always responsible for most of the crash. In this video in the begining the copilot had control amd when the captain saw that he was in the wrong lane she toook control. Is lsnt she the one who avoided the disaster saving all those people. Amd why the narrator in the video intentionally or unintentionally say that she is the one at fault?
The filming is actually good. It could always help the investigations. And it also doesn’t hinder anyone else. I agree with the bags (if it is truly an emergency)
The St. Barthes airport looks like it could be vastly improved with just some excavator work, a new pier to extend the runway and maybe moving the road to a tunnel. You'd think with all the rich folks going there they would fund something like this just to make the landings less of a risk to them.
Extending the runway with a pier would split the beach in half and ruin its aesthetics. Creating a tunnel for the cars would only add about 30 ft of runway. They have it right. Require special training. Only allow small prop planes.
I think the professionals have already evaluated all options. Besides, it pushes more tourists to use the more expensive helicopter route, which I'm assuming makes them more money. Also assuming their decision making wasn't made with the toss of a coin over a bottle of rum.
Keep in mind these are so rare that they have TH-cam videos and news clips dedicated to them. You will more than likely never experience this in your life if you fly.
@@tonymcflattie2450 That A-320 like all of them have auto land capability. It was not that big deal. In fact all Cat 3 landings have to be done with auto land.
@@tonymcflattie2450 The autopilot will couple to any ILS approach. We only do auto lands with a Cat 3 ILS but in an emergency you could use a Cat 1. I have had a shattered windscreen on one side due to glass failure so visibility is very limited with two gone.
To anyone who knows, I’ve never understood why there aren’t cameras all throughout planes. The cockpit, passenger cabin, and all over the plane (inside & out) to be able to check on things. I feel this is something we could’ve had 20 years ago and the fact it’s still not happening makes me so confused. EDIT: I’m talking about video surveillance, NOT content for TH-cam. Why does ANY company have video surveillance? THINK people. If you think it’s to collect views and likes online or to “force” people to watch their own demise, please question yourself before you question me.
Only thing I can think of is that most jets are probably over 20 years old and it would be dangerous to go in and mess with the planes by adding cameras. However Newer aircraft should definitely come standard with cameras everywhere. It would help so much during emergencies and after crashes.
Flight 191 was an infamous catastrophic crash at O'Hare, the biggest non-terrorist crash on US soil. It had cameras. People saw their demise. That might contribute. The other factor is designing a system that will withstand the shear forces and temperature without significantly changing the flying profile of an airplane. The final question is whether the expense of designing and implementing this system on a massive scale will actually save lives. Do you pull every plane and fit it? Only new planes? Only planes of a certain size?
The cockpit has a wall of gauges and instruments that tell you almost everything. I'd like to see a camera viewing the landing gear. As far as outside the locked door, that's on the crew and any Marshall aboard.
Everyone of those selfish people who insist on taking every item of hand luggage with them during an evacuation, should be turned round and put back on board. Sensible people carry their passport, essential medication etc separately. People reaching into overhead lockers and under seats slows an evacuation down, been proven time and time again. "Everyone is desperate to get out" provided they have there bags with them.
Pre flight instructions: You get blacklisted if you do so. And tried for manslaughter, taking your luggage as evidence. If it already happens to be out, leave it in the plane. Maybe even lock the compartments :)
Agreed, in the 1st vid what 1st caught my attention was those people who slide down the emergency chute taking along their huge begs n belongins. Very selfish people! 😓😓😓
@@STARDRIVE Thats a very good idea. Add to the safety briefing that in the event of an evacuation, if you take your bags with you, you will be fined and blacklisted by this airline. Sadly i can't see the corporate suits doing it because every airline would have to agree and it would pee the entitled customers off.
Dana…we can’t control our subconscious, so we are very thankful that we are not in those situations/predicaments. This has been proven by psychiatrists. It’s not that we don’t have empathy, just this is proof of how much we value our lives.
Yeah, it’s not the act of flying that scares me. It’s that some airlines refuse to take their planes out of service to get the fixes they need because it’ll cost them money which has resulted in plenty of crashes and thousands of deaths over the years. I can’t speak for how it is in the rest of the world, but because of lobbyists from the airlines and manufacturers (which shouldn’t exist, btw) in the US, the government gives them way too long to make needed fixes which has cost lives and they sleep at night by telling themselves it’s the cost of doing business. Money takes precedence over lives every single time.
Company: Fly to (destination) now. Pilot: But sir, the inclement weather will pose a danger to me and the passengers. Company: I don't care, we want money, fly the damn thing! Pilot: Okay sir. *plane crashes, killing all passengers* Company: wE aRe vErY gRiEvEd bY tHiS lOsS. Also company: *surprised pikachu face*
Actually, the further from the wings the worse the turbulence is. So those in business / first and those in the far rear of the aircraft will experience worse motion effects
31:35 I’m a pilot, I can’t imagine how the “wing flaps,“ can “force the plane onto the ground.” They are meant to do the exact opposite. On one of the planes that I fly I sometimes retract the flaps a bit early to make it settle down.
It's possible that at this airport they do not set full flaps (or maybe even any flaps at all) when landing. As soon as the aircraft passes that street intersection, it's in the ground effect because of the hill. That ground effect is going to be pushing the aircraft higher than what the required glide slope for that airport would be. Having flaps extended would increase your lift and put you above glide slope. So one would probably come in faster with a lower flap setting. Since full flaps is the normal procedure for landing, this would be an abnormal procedure and could in a way be seen as the pilot using the flaps to force the plane downwards while the abnormal ground effect at that airport would be pushing the plane upwards and away from the hill (farther down the runway than they want to be in order to land safely).
Two of my scariest plane moments came in Reno, Nevada. Both times were in Boeing 737s. 1) Taking off one time, we were rolling down the runway, gaining speed, when all of a sudden, right about V1 I imagine, the pilot shut it down. He came on the intercom and said, "well, we didn't get the RPMs we wanted on that attempt, so we are just going to roll around and get back in line and give her another try." What?!? I NEVER like it when any pilot refers to ANY flight-related maneuver as "a try!" I never wanted off a plane so bad in my life! 2) The other time was a landing in Reno. If you've ever spent any time in Reno at all, you know that Chicago doesn't deserve the moniker, "Windy City." Reno is the real Windy City, with gusts coming off the Sierra right into that flat plain that is the Truckee Meadows. It is not unusual to see sustained winds of 30 mph with gusts to 50 mph or more. The main runways run north to south so that planes get the full sideways brunt of that wind when taking off or landing. One time when we were landing there, the wind was blowing so badly that the tower made the decision that the 737 would land on the short east to west runway that is meant for the little private one or two engine propeller planes. The two main north south runways are 11,000 feet and 9,000 feet long. The east west runway is 6,100 feet long. I've since read that 5,000 is about the minimum a 737 heavy needs for landing, but that is at sea level (Reno is about 4400' elevation) and in good weather. It was clear, but the wind was buffeting us around a lot! It was the only time in my flying life that I've been on a plane where people actually screamed as we were coming in. Right out of the movies! We're being bounced around, up and down and sideways, feeling like the bottom is dropping out underneath us and everything...but the pilot pulled it off, reversing the engines and stomping on the brakes almost as soon as we touched down. And of course the cabin burst into applause when he brought the plane to a stop. I imagine that had there been another airport in range with a long enough runway, when might have gone there. But Reno is pretty isolated from other big cities, so I guess that this was the only place we could have landed. I know those two incidents were pretty benign compared to some of the incidents on the video, but they were plenty scary for us passengers!
I worked at the local airport for many years. I'm sure many would agree that being jet blasted hurts a lot. My point is not having something like a fence to hang on to is the real experience.
29:03 How the hell was that not noticed in the pilots walk-around and pre-trip inspection? How did no one notice that?? Pilot should be held partly accountable for that one.
The one item I have ready to grab if we have to get out is my wallet, and my heart meds I put them together in a ziplock. I pack it so I can grab it fast and get off in an emergency. Everything else can be replaced.
@@hsbvt Do you know if they actually return the baggage in these incidents in the video? A lot of these incidents were overdramatized. I would guess if the plane cabin does not catch fire and the problem gets resolved, the airline would give the passengers their bags back.
@@sludge4125 One of the reason of barring people from taking the bag is that bag zip, trolley metal angle, wheels etc.. can accidentally cut the slide and deflate them, leaving the people behind the moron unable to use the the evacuation slide. There always a reason (or more than one) in aviation world behind a rules. Passenger that didn't follow them and thinking "ok, i take my bag, why not, is here... i'm not stupid to follow a stupid rule" are the one that hurts the most.

"Everyone's desperate to get out!" Especially after waiting for the first ten people to grab their bags from the overhead storage.
good. one. Mat
Common problem during evacuations. There was talk of making the overhead bins auto lock during an evacuation, but it was felt the selfish would just stand there waiting for them to open or argue that they should be opened.
My late husband always commented that if anyone could survive a plane crash it would be me. If people were taking their time, I would be hurtling myself across the seats like a pro.
The people behind them should punch them in the face
I remember similar case last year in Russia, where many people died in smoke and fire, because stupid idiots slowed evacuation down to grab their bags, idiots!
People who evacuate an aircraft with their luggage in an emergency egress should be charged with a crime for jeopardizing the safe evacuation of other passengers.
I agree.
Shoutout to the "First time in New York" guy. What a legend
And on that video, I would have been tempted to take anyone with luggage on them and charge them with reckless endangerment. In an evacuation, leave the luggage behind.

Credit to pilots and flight attendants for keeping these passengers safe during these terrifying moments. Many would freeze up, but they spring into action. Be nice to your flight attendants, they save lives.
It seems like they didn't based on the interviews given from passengers in the clip. They said no one was telling them what was going on or giving instructions and took forever before exit door opened so they could get off . Smoke was already filling inside. The pilots were probably arguing being the captain got fired for their part in crash.
Be nice to maintenance engineers.
I'm just wondering why the 747 didn't just continue n with its flight to Vega and land light the same way he did at Gatwick except without dumping thousands of gallons of Petroleum in the waterways .. To me its a No brainer .. either way the plane had to land right ?
What happened in the crash depends on the position the Airlines is financially and what kind if a crash the airlines as a company can survive and who is in charge of releasing the investigation information. Yeah I know it sounds like an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory , I know, but it’s the sad reality we live in today when corporate profits and dividend payouts are the controlling factors to most of our corporate influence and priorities today🤷🏻♂️.
@@TheRoguelement Its called, Safety first. Why take the risk when you have 400 peoples lives in your hand?
A Canadian legend from 1983- “The Gimli Glider”. The jumbo jet ran out of fuel halfway through its trip, lost all power, and luckily, the pilot was also an experienced glider pilot who was able to safely glide it to land at an abandoned Air Force runway in Gimli, Manitoba (also missing two boys on bikes and a local amateur race club who were there by just a few hours!).

The authorities made the conversion to metric but the pilots asked for the old measures in lbs (or the other way around).
@@marinazagrai1623 Fuel was delivered in kilos but these guys were used to only dealing in pounds and weren't sure how to convert it.
@@marinazagrai1623 They asked for Xkg of fuel and were given Xlbs which is less than half as much (1kg = 2.2lbs)
Love that episode of Air Crash Investigations.
I'd like to think that pilot would give his best even if his kid wasn't there.
Nah
Me too.
Why wouldn’t he his life is on the line aswell lmao
Yeah that was pretty stupid to say, cause his life and other passenger in danger whether his family aboard or not, he is gonna try to land that plane
What if the pilot was depressed and had problems at home, facing divorce, forclosure and repossession of his vehicle(s)? You never know what people are going through.
These days they should have cameras in the under carriage so pilots can view whats going on under the plane
Absolutely agreed 100%!!✌

I think that even if the pilot's daughter had not been on the plane, the pilot would have tried his best.
I think the pilots always try their best to land safely. None of them want their last flight to be a crash.
Trust me when I say, even the pilots want to go back home to their families..

3:44 - "...took a while ... before anyone did anything." They likely were getting the engines shut down. You DO NOT want to go out most parts of the plane with the engines still running unless you're literally about to die in the cabin, and those things don't exactly stop like a car engine.
Yeah! Yuck.
It's not a case of pulling out the ignition key....stupid people
Unfortunately the narrator said a awful lot of misinformation in this vídeo
Good point
Send her out as the test dummy
"scary landings can be fun, just provided you're not on the plane" IKR 💯💯💯💯
like any amusement ride.. its whether you survive the ride.
I love how this video goes into detail on why each of these incidents happens and doesn't just list them and maybe a cause. Asking a pilot to take a look at the report and do a simulation of the flight? Top notch effort! Also, love the breakcore bongos!
That piece of the engine finally collapsing down at 28:13 felt like the plane was sighing in relief. Also, it's frightening to see how many plane crashes are caused by maintenance errors or faulty repairs.
Worse, sometimes it's not pilot or mechanic failure. Sometimes it is the tech manual. As a retired mechanical/electrical tech writer, I've seen what can happen when maintenance manuals have the wrong instructions after upgrading parts. QC big time.
When I see mechanics open & close panels so easily, makes you wonder how secure they are under flight conditions, no matter how the mechanic secures the panel.
Well if it makes you feel any better that’s just because pilots usually (USUALLY) don’t suck lol
Over 80% of crashes are caused by human error on the ground during maintenance or assembly. Yes there are other things and fatigue, but those are the exception, not the norm.
Many US airlines use third world companies to do inspections and required repairs and general maintenance. I was a licensed aircraft mechanic from 62 until 1980. I worked on four engine cargo planes such as the DC-6, DC-8 and early jet powered passenger planes such as the Boeing 707.
All commercial multi engine aircraft are extremely complicated, third world aircraft mechanics are not formally trained, rather they learn by doing and are paid very little.
Pilot error is the leading cause of aircraft accidents according to the FAA,while the great majority of US airline pilots are trained here in the USA and yet they are responsible for the majority of airline crashes (including collisions with another airliner while flying). Landing accidents are the most common. Airliners are at greatest risk of crashing when maneuvering for a landing. These are the photos most commonly shown on these videos.
For that flight where it landed on 3 wheels instead of 4, the guy said "One of the pilot's daughter was on the plane" and proceeded to say that because of that, you know you're going to land safely. But everyone would be wanting to rescue themselves, even if the pilots were alone without family members on the flight. It is an oath they take before being a pilot to try their best to keep everyone safe.
Right I kind of get why he said it but no pilot wants to crash lol
regardless of who is on the plane, am sure the pilot wants to land as well
Love for your children is oftentimes much greater than love for yourself
I don't know about you but I drive safer when my kids are in the car vs when I'm alone....
@@WhiteGuysMadder Yes but you probably also drive safer if you have other people im the car than when you are alone, right? That is because now you have responsibility of others and not just yourself.
And that is the same with pilots.
I actually have really bad anxiety when it comes to flying (I've only had good flights btw). This channel believe it or not actually helps because it makes me realize how strict airlines are with safety.
@k…this type of informative video sheds the measures airlines take to ensure you will have a smooth enough ride. I have flown yrs ago through thunderstorms that appeared out of nowhere. I had car sickness, as a child, but that was because the few car rides I had were in a diesel car and that smell was unbearable to me. When I left my native country for the US everyone (family) was concerned that flying on a plane would make me sick but that was not the case.
Yeah, I think it's helpful to see these scenarios happen and to see what the passengers actually do, what it's actually like, rather than it being some chaotic unknown. So now I can imagine, what would I do in this situation.
@@minetruly You can watch accident investigations, too.

On my very first flight ever, we experienced tons of turbulence, and landed with big *BANG* that felt like the plane bottomed out. People were actually screaming. The guy next to me told me that was the scariest flight he has ever taken in his life, but since I had never flown before I didn't know how bad it was until I flew again and had a smooth experience. Wild.
Jen reminds me of my first flight as a young girl. I was terrified, and turned to the businessman next to me sipping his vodka. I asked him if it gets easier, and he replied that each time he flies he needs more and more of his drinks. Oy! To this day I still wonder if he was pulling my leg.
@@annettegenovesi4012 You've got to love the seasoned business travelers and their calm advice, lol.
@@jenm9099 Yea you got that right.

Genuinely, if you are ever on a flight and you felt something seriously unsafe happened, report it! If nobody got hurt and no damage came to the plane or the runway, it's a good chance the pilots didn't even mention it to the crew that took over the plane after them. But if they messed up, they messed up, you won't even be threatening their jobs(unless it's deserved) because the airline industry doesn't care about pointing fingers they care about safety so they train more, not get fired.
I have flown into St .Barts not once, but twice. Both times, the pilots did a flawless job. Not going to lie It was scary as hell. I didn't realize how difficult that landing strip really was, even experiencing it firsthand as a passenger. Bravo to the pilots who got us safely down. We definitely owe our lives to you.

I love how the person doing the recreation of the highway landing had a car pass on the right under the wing. They know Jersey drivers.
They were either not paying attention to the plane landing in front of them, thought it was a race, or were thinking "I ain't getting stuck behind this shitshow!"

ROTF!!! I'm from NJ!!!! You're right!
As I was about 8 miles out from landing my small plane at Danbury CT (KDXR) at night back in 1990, we started getting pelted by dime-sized hail from a weather front that was at least 3 or 4 miles from us. The top of the cumulonimbus clouds were throwing the hail miles away - very impressive and scary - and louder than you could ever imagine.

@17:31 (paraphrased) "Pilot's daughter is on the airplane, give you confidence that he'll land it safely"
Kind of a dumb thing to say. Daughter or not, I think most people want to stay alive so just having the pilot being on the airplane is "confidence" enough of him wanting to land it safely.
Agree. But I suppose he was just reaching to comfort himself...
Yes. BUT it would definitely give the pilot more motivation.
@@JeannieLorene or due to that motivation make a mistake because instead of focusing on flying he was thinking about his daughter.
First officer on Air France 447 that crashed in the Atlantic Ocean had his wife onboard, and he was the reason the plane crashed after small turbulence, killing everyone.
When you can carry over 400 people, you should have impements that let you see your landing gear with your own eyes. Like a camera that can pop out. Or a clear floor. It's utterly insane that pilots can only see out a window that's barely bigger than a standard house window.
I agree. Cameras around the plane could probably help pilots land too, like in games and stuff, where camers outside of the plane make it easier to land.
Does not matter. You can not fix a landing gear in flight.
@@zerotodona1495 I suppose, but it would save time and fuel if you didn't have to fly over the tower so the controllers could check. Also, I think the window would be really good for keeping an eye out for smaller planes that might be beneath you.

Then you haven’t learned anything from these videos.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 do you even know anything about aviation?
Time 23:30…. As a pilot of 40 years I’ve been on many flights where the entire cabin is screaming like it is here.
The fact is, the aircraft itself is fine. No one should be screaming and panicking. The way most people get hurt, is because they don’t have their seatbelt fastened properly. Or, on rare occasion from flying debris.
People have the foolish idea that their seatbelt is there to save them if the plane crashes. It is NOT. The seatbelts main purpose, is to tightly hold you in your seat when the plane enters turbulence. During moderate to severe turbulence you can become weightless and if not strapped down you will fly out of your seat and smash against the ceiling of the aircraft. Your seatbelt is there to keep that from happening. The turbulence encountered, is harder on the human body than on the airplane. The plane can take much more turbulence and be perfectly safe, while people unbelted are flying around getting seriously injured.
The point is, always wear your seat belt and always have it snugged down to hold you in place, and you’ll do fine through turbulence.
I like the part where the passengers were consoled by the fact the pilot would land safely because his daughter was on the plane. I promise you that may have been a factor but I promise you I'd do everything possible because I have no desire to be the first to arrive at the crash scene.
Yea fr I heard that and was like what?? These pilots fly hundreds of people every day and you think they only care if a family member is on board? wack.
Pilots shouldn't be allowed to have their family members on a commercial flight. More than anything else, they need to remain as calm as possible to think clearly. Having your kid there would only serve to distract from the task and make matters worse.
Yes, that was a truly ignorant comment made..... assuming that the pilot, for some unknown reason, will exact a more perfect landing because his daughter is on board. Amazing !!
Maybe it comforted the customer in a frightening moment.
@@aarondavis8943 Chances are they are too busy flying the plane and working out problems to think of anything else. They can get the shakes after they are safely on the ground. My husband's helicopter took a hit and it affected the oil case, which was leaking. He did think about me and our baby girl, but kept flying the ship and got it to safety, thank God. All those years ago, now and I still thank God he got the ship and everyone in it safely on the ground.
My father was an aircraft mechanic and had told us to always keep our seatbelts on unless we had to use the latrine. In 1985 I was flying to Honolulu to visit family and for the first time in my life, after more flights than I can count, our plane hit severe turbulence that caused overhead bins to open in various places and drinks and food trays were everywhere. I had gone through a few anomalies in past years but nothing like that flight. Luckily, and miraculously, injuries were very minor (though they ran out of barf bags), which was a blessing because we were past the midway point and could only continue on to Honolulu. Watching a couple of these videos about turbulence brought back a memory I had frankly forgotten. I'm glad the videos selected for this program had good outcomes. Nicely done.
I fly a lot and had lots of rough flights, but one of my worst flights due to severe turbulence,was a short haul flight with Aloha from Honolulu to Hilo... The lady beside us was praying the whole way. Both my husband and I - were so happy when we landed ,but then the nightmare was all over again, later that day on our return to Honolulu. Apparently - a weather like this is normal in that part of the World. I don't envy these crews.
As a devout coward, I didn't need anyone to tell me to keep my seat belt on during the flight...
A memory you had forgotten? I think the word you're looking for is "repressed" XD
After an emergency evacuation they should arrest anyone carrying luggage.
It really does go to show just how warped some peoples values are! I'd be out of the plane asap, bugger the bloody luggage!
What a about just a shoe box with a million $ in it. Lol?
If it was just some clothing and stuff I would just leave it, but if it contained things like a laptop with important work-related data, an expensive camera or something like this I don't think I would be able to trust the fire fighters to save it in case the plane catches fire later. If there is no apparent danger like a fire already raging outside, I would probably also take my 10 seconds or so grabbing my bag. I mean as long as I'm not standing in the main way holding off other people, what difference does it make if I stand in my seat row for 10-20 seconds doing nothing and waiting for people to move or if I pick up my bag in that time and hold it close to me while leaving the plane
Exactly my thoughts! Look at 6:08 and that stupid Asian couple... yes I call them stupid, because on every plane they explain in case of emergence LEAVE all your belongings on the plane... This couple took 4 bags and even a stupid headrest with them! Unbelievable... They got very lucky that the plane did not catch fire. In an emergency every second could mean the difference between living and dying onboard.
idk if they are allowed in other country but whenever i travel, i have a small pack i carry with me all the time with important documents in it. My clothes and souvenirs bought are not important that i'm willing to lose them during emergency.
$200,000,000 aircraft, state-of-the-art glass cockpit instruments, thousands of man-hours dedicated to safety and maintenance... Doesn't have a simple camera on the exterior of the aircraft so the pilots can see the wings or landing gear.
I have watched TONS of aircraft crash documentaries and I can't tell you how many times lives could have been saved by a cheap camera that comes standard on most phones

its good to know that if something goes wrong on a plane its not guaranteed death
The most nerve-wracking thing about this video is listening to that guy say that turbulence will get worse and more frequent. normal turbulence gives me a heart attack.
Zach he was wrong. Most of the worse turbulence is predictable and can be avoided. Did you know that every day airline routes (called tracks) across the N. Atlantic are moved north and south depending on where the forecasted turbulence is. I just retired flying for a major airline and in all my time have only experienced severe turbulence once and that lasted less than 5 seconds. Enjoy your next flight.
I experienced turbulence a few times and it was scary. I have basiphobia/basophobia and that had me panicking. That’s why I always sleep during flights so that I won’t feel the turbulence. That saved me from having a panic attack.
Imagine coming in at St. Barths: "Sorry for the slight delay, but there was a tall bus on the hill, and we had to go around."
damn plebs are using public transport again
Glad Anastasia made it, she's talented as hell.
Watching this while waiting to board my flight. Probably not a good idea....
I always watch a bunch of plane crash videos before a flight. I think it prepares you to be prepared for an emergency and to actually think about how to.evacuate if necessary.
did u live?

13:30 Boeing be like: "Have you tried to turn it off and on?"
I mean, it was a good idea. Sometimes doing the simplest things can fix entire problems. Obviously, it was deeper than just being stuck, so shaking the plane didn’t do anything- but there are plenty of instances where pilots overthink and possibly cause a crash (like in that first one) rather than just doing what seems like the simplest option. Of course, that doesn’t work every time, but it doesn’t hurt to try :)
Its the first and most common fix, that works most of the time, for anything controlled by a microprocessor.
I used to live in Colorado Springs, and I know about hail! I've seen hail fill up an intersection of two 6-lane roads to the windows of the cars in it in a matter of 15-20 minutes! In no way to diminish what those passengers on that flight went through, yeah, it can be bad, bad, bad!
I've experienced extreme turbulence, lightning strikes, power outages, and free fall on flights before. I think the scariest thing is when other passengers get worked up over everything and start screaming, praying, or saying goodbye. Someone always has to take the situation and dial the stress up to 10.
So fling true. Im CPL charter pilot, when we do cargo we sometimes strap in and go straight through turbulence most of people cant even imagine. Closest to what i can explain is being in a supersized washer-dryer, but staying mostly upright.
And most planes are built for that, including all airliners. The wing strain testing is insane, these things can bend almost 80* up and down without breaking, if we are talking medium to large sized multi-engine jet aircraft.
I wont be able to count how much time if we hit a wake turbulence or a bit of a bumpy air, we had most of people just ignore it, this one idiot who doesn’t strap in, and that one couple who are praying.
Remember the guy who broke neck in the video in turbulence? Thats why the belts are there. He’s got thrown up and smashed his head against the ceiling.
Yup and I would be one of them😱

@@carlaroy1763 And you thinking panicking is going to make matters better? It only makes things worse.
@@Blueknight1960 that’s the thing about panicking. People don’t want to do it. It feels terrible for them too but fear is fear and almost nobody is immune to it at some point 🤷🏻♀️

That guys who made the New York comment was a rockstar. Talk about making the best of a bad situation. That man has my respect for how he handled himself in the middle of a crisis.
I have learned that routine maintenance is one of the leading causes of plane accidents. What are they thinking?
Cutting corners, it's what corporations do best
I have evacuated an Alaska Airlines B727-300 in SeaTac at night after sliding off the runway and I have to say, even with smoke filling the fuselage everyone evacuated calmly and QUICKLY, Once on the ground we were so far from everything people ran everywhere, it took about 45 minutes to find and count everyone.
EDIT: I helped 19 people out the rear slide, then looked around until my eyes adjusted to the dark. I then followed the skid marks 400 meters back to the runway and stood there, lit a smoke and said to myself - they won't land another plane here until they find this one.... Man did I need that smoke.
Being military for 24 years and contractor for 20 years I did a lot of flying. I had my share of turbulence, but never as bad as one time flying from Huntsville, AL to Atlanta, GA. Thunderstorm alley. It was only the second time I was really nervous on a plane - the other time being an approach into Colorado Springs.
what happened in colorado springs?
@@thelumbercompany High winds and severe turbulence on descent and final approach. White knuckles.
to be military is very stupid
Sir if i may why is the pilot always responsible for most of the crash. In this video in the begining the copilot had control amd when the captain saw that he was in the wrong lane she toook control. Is lsnt she the one who avoided the disaster saving all those people. Amd why the narrator in the video intentionally or unintentionally say that she is the one at fault?
Wow. Enjoy your freedom@@TheMrGrendel
When seconds count, make sure to film with your phone and block the aisle while getting your carry on.....
full free movies
Absolutely. This is important. People may survive otherwise.
The filming is actually good. It could always help the investigations. And it also doesn’t hinder anyone else.
I agree with the bags (if it is truly an emergency)
The St. Barthes airport looks like it could be vastly improved with just some excavator work, a new pier to extend the runway and maybe moving the road to a tunnel. You'd think with all the rich folks going there they would fund something like this just to make the landings less of a risk to them.
Great point! I guess they don’t care because they never fly commercial?
i agree...
They have helicopters. It's just the "plebs" who need to land on the slide of death😅
Extending the runway with a pier would split the beach in half and ruin its aesthetics. Creating a tunnel for the cars would only add about 30 ft of runway. They have it right. Require special training. Only allow small prop planes.
I think the professionals have already evaluated all options. Besides, it pushes more tourists to use the more expensive helicopter route, which I'm assuming makes them more money. Also assuming their decision making wasn't made with the toss of a coin over a bottle of rum.
This is very reassuring when I already have a fear of flying on planes 😭
Keep in mind these are so rare that they have TH-cam videos and news clips dedicated to them. You will more than likely never experience this in your life if you fly.
34:06 "You need to see the runway in order to land on it"
ILS: Am I a joke to you?
Cat 1, cat 2 or cat 3 ils?
@@tonymcflattie2450 That A-320 like all of them have auto land capability. It was not that big deal. In fact all Cat 3 landings have to be done with auto land.
A320 is a capable airplane for sure. Do you need any airport equipment to do cat 2 or cat 3 approaches?
@@tonymcflattie2450 The autopilot will couple to any ILS approach. We only do auto lands with a Cat 3 ILS but in an emergency you could use a Cat 1. I have had a shattered windscreen on one side due to glass failure so visibility is very limited with two gone.
@@jcheck6 damm bro, is this real life or simulation? Does your a320 have a HUD? What continent are you based on?
To anyone who knows, I’ve never understood why there aren’t cameras all throughout planes. The cockpit, passenger cabin, and all over the plane (inside & out) to be able to check on things. I feel this is something we could’ve had 20 years ago and the fact it’s still not happening makes me so confused.
EDIT: I’m talking about video surveillance, NOT content for TH-cam. Why does ANY company have video surveillance? THINK people. If you think it’s to collect views and likes online or to “force” people to watch their own demise, please question yourself before you question me.
Only thing I can think of is that most jets are probably over 20 years old and it would be dangerous to go in and mess with the planes by adding cameras. However Newer aircraft should definitely come standard with cameras everywhere. It would help so much during emergencies and after crashes.
Flight 191 was an infamous catastrophic crash at O'Hare, the biggest non-terrorist crash on US soil. It had cameras. People saw their demise. That might contribute.
The other factor is designing a system that will withstand the shear forces and temperature without significantly changing the flying profile of an airplane. The final question is whether the expense of designing and implementing this system on a massive scale will actually save lives. Do you pull every plane and fit it? Only new planes? Only planes of a certain size?
its expensive for companies like ryanair etc.
money. airlines are cheapskates and dont care about passengers, the passengers are only moneybags to them
The cockpit has a wall of gauges and instruments that tell you almost everything. I'd like to see a camera viewing the landing gear. As far as outside the locked door, that's on the crew and any Marshall aboard.
I’d like more episodes where EVERYONE SURVIVES.

Oooooh my GOD! Im glad Im not the only one who caught that! 😆 I was like "Uh yeaaaa... its still the same fecking plane!"
A big thank you for the skill of the pilots to bring those down in one piece.
They are saving their own lives.
amazing how many ppl come down the slide with their carry-on bag
Omg boeing said "try shaking the plane" lol
Me " its a plane full of people not a toy soooo glad that wasnt me"
I was going to count how many times they could work "tarmac" into the story......
I do find it weird that with all the cameras almost everywhere nowadays. That they don't have atleast a couple giving outside views.
Everyone of those selfish people who insist on taking every item of hand luggage with them during an evacuation, should be turned round and put back on board. Sensible people carry their passport, essential medication etc separately. People reaching into overhead lockers and under seats slows an evacuation down, been proven time and time again. "Everyone is desperate to get out" provided they have there bags with them.
Pre flight instructions: You get blacklisted if you do so. And tried for manslaughter, taking your luggage as evidence. If it already happens to be out, leave it in the plane.
Maybe even lock the compartments :)
This drive me mad whenever I see that....
Agreed, in the 1st vid what 1st caught my attention was those people who slide down the emergency chute taking along their huge begs n belongins. Very selfish people! 😓😓😓
their
@@STARDRIVE Thats a very good idea. Add to the safety briefing that in the event of an evacuation, if you take your bags with you, you will be fined and blacklisted by this airline. Sadly i can't see the corporate suits doing it because every airline would have to agree and it would pee the entitled customers off.
Why are these vids so entertaining? I literally love them.
Dana…we can’t control our subconscious, so we are very thankful that we are not in those situations/predicaments. This has been proven by psychiatrists. It’s not that we don’t have empathy, just this is proof of how much we value our lives.
Great video!! Captivated me from start to finish!! Bravo job on the narrator as well!
Yeah, it’s not the act of flying that scares me. It’s that some airlines refuse to take their planes out of service to get the fixes they need because it’ll cost them money which has resulted in plenty of crashes and thousands of deaths over the years.
I can’t speak for how it is in the rest of the world, but because of lobbyists from the airlines and manufacturers (which shouldn’t exist, btw) in the US, the government gives them way too long to make needed fixes which has cost lives and they sleep at night by telling themselves it’s the cost of doing business. Money takes precedence over lives every single time.
Company: Fly to (destination) now.
Pilot: But sir, the inclement weather will pose a danger to me and the passengers.
Company: I don't care, we want money, fly the damn thing!
Pilot: Okay sir.
*plane crashes, killing all passengers*
Company: wE aRe vErY gRiEvEd bY tHiS lOsS.

Exactly.. watched a lot of documentaries and often exactly that was the reason for crashes. Poor maintenance, greed..
"..in business class, it's just as bad..." Really???? I thought turbulence like that only affected a certain section of an airplane. /sarcasm
Actually, the further from the wings the worse the turbulence is. So those in business / first and those in the far rear of the aircraft will experience worse motion effects
@@cruisinguy6024 damm you learn something new everyday
@@cruisinguy6024 I would tend to believe that with turbulence that bad, your distance from the wings would merely be marginal dude.

My first time on an airplane, there was a storm and the turbulence was very bad. It scared the lleH out of me, but it's fun at the same time.
The pilots in that second segment... down a landing gear. They landed it like normal. How crazy badass
"The plane landed with just one engine"
Captain Sully: "Pah! Amateurs."
Technically they actually made it to a runway tbf
Passenger: "How often do planes crash?" Flight attendant: "Only once"
Those 747 pilots gave me chills. Good god, they landed that beautifully.
31:35 I’m a pilot, I can’t imagine how the “wing flaps,“ can “force the plane onto the ground.” They are meant to do the exact opposite. On one of the planes that I fly I sometimes retract the flaps a bit early to make it settle down.
It's possible that at this airport they do not set full flaps (or maybe even any flaps at all) when landing. As soon as the aircraft passes that street intersection, it's in the ground effect because of the hill. That ground effect is going to be pushing the aircraft higher than what the required glide slope for that airport would be. Having flaps extended would increase your lift and put you above glide slope. So one would probably come in faster with a lower flap setting. Since full flaps is the normal procedure for landing, this would be an abnormal procedure and could in a way be seen as the pilot using the flaps to force the plane downwards while the abnormal ground effect at that airport would be pushing the plane upwards and away from the hill (farther down the runway than they want to be in order to land safely).
Fantastic work by the pilots. Nerves made of vibranium.
Two of my scariest plane moments came in Reno, Nevada. Both times were in Boeing 737s. 1) Taking off one time, we were rolling down the runway, gaining speed, when all of a sudden, right about V1 I imagine, the pilot shut it down. He came on the intercom and said, "well, we didn't get the RPMs we wanted on that attempt, so we are just going to roll around and get back in line and give her another try." What?!? I NEVER like it when any pilot refers to ANY flight-related maneuver as "a try!" I never wanted off a plane so bad in my life! 2) The other time was a landing in Reno. If you've ever spent any time in Reno at all, you know that Chicago doesn't deserve the moniker, "Windy City." Reno is the real Windy City, with gusts coming off the Sierra right into that flat plain that is the Truckee Meadows. It is not unusual to see sustained winds of 30 mph with gusts to 50 mph or more. The main runways run north to south so that planes get the full sideways brunt of that wind when taking off or landing. One time when we were landing there, the wind was blowing so badly that the tower made the decision that the 737 would land on the short east to west runway that is meant for the little private one or two engine propeller planes. The two main north south runways are 11,000 feet and 9,000 feet long. The east west runway is 6,100 feet long. I've since read that 5,000 is about the minimum a 737 heavy needs for landing, but that is at sea level (Reno is about 4400' elevation) and in good weather. It was clear, but the wind was buffeting us around a lot! It was the only time in my flying life that I've been on a plane where people actually screamed as we were coming in. Right out of the movies! We're being bounced around, up and down and sideways, feeling like the bottom is dropping out underneath us and everything...but the pilot pulled it off, reversing the engines and stomping on the brakes almost as soon as we touched down. And of course the cabin burst into applause when he brought the plane to a stop. I imagine that had there been another airport in range with a long enough runway, when might have gone there. But Reno is pretty isolated from other big cities, so I guess that this was the only place we could have landed. I know those two incidents were pretty benign compared to some of the incidents on the video, but they were plenty scary for us passengers!
I live in reno and everyone knows its gonna be an interesting time flying in and out haha
I worked at the local airport for many years. I'm sure many would agree that being jet blasted hurts a lot. My point is not having something like a fence to hang on to is the real experience.

I came for this comment!!!!
Haha
29:03 How the hell was that not noticed in the pilots walk-around and pre-trip inspection? How did no one notice that?? Pilot should be held partly accountable for that one.
Indeed.
nice video!!
And they still carry their luggage during evacuation
The one item I have ready to grab if we have to get out is my wallet, and my heart meds I put them together in a ziplock. I pack it so I can grab it fast and get off in an emergency. Everything else can be replaced.
maybe we shouldn't be judging them since we've never been in that situation. but, that might take you out of your comfort zone
@Dave Roberts I honestly don’t understand why they’re trying to argue against you. In an emergency situation, you gotta get out as quick as possible.
@@hsbvt Do you know if they actually return the baggage in these incidents in the video? A lot of these incidents were overdramatized. I would guess if the plane cabin does not catch fire and the problem gets resolved, the airline would give the passengers their bags back.
@@sludge4125 One of the reason of barring people from taking the bag is that bag zip, trolley metal angle, wheels etc.. can accidentally cut the slide and deflate them, leaving the people behind the moron unable to use the the evacuation slide. There always a reason (or more than one) in aviation world behind a rules. Passenger that didn't follow them and thinking "ok, i take my bag, why not, is here... i'm not stupid to follow a stupid rule" are the one that hurts the most.
