I remember this accident. It's good to find someone who made the effort to tell us what killed my colleagues & friends.Praying for the souls that perished. Sending love to everyone watching from (+254) Nairobi; Kenya
My condolences, however belated, are very sincere to you all. What a terrible tragedy, caused by the airplane itself and not its highly skilled pilots.
First time on these crashes where the crew did the correct stall evasion maneuver, only THIS time, it was the wrong choice. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I was in highschool then and my classmate's dad was the captain on that plane. I remember him getting picked up to go home a day after we heard the news. It was a heartbreaking. Poor guy was shattered.
I recently swam one mile, non-stop. Took me 45 mins. In a pool, where the surface is flat, and I'm wearing a swimsuit with goggles, and I have perfect light conditions. And I can kick off the edge for a boost every 25 meters. Swimming 2k in an ocean in the dark after your plane just crashed.... Holy shit!
You are so correct but I tell you one thing I've never flew in my life and I am 64 years old and don't intend to but I do not see how people get on that plane or get on planes and think they're going to reach their destination with no problem. If that was me while I'm sitting in a plane in my lap I would have a inflatable boat sitting in my lap LOL
I was hardly one year old in the airline as a cabin crew when this happened. I was so mortified I almost resigned. To all my colleagues who passed on, may your families find strength and comfort even as the years go by

Long had an unhealthy obsession understanding this one. Never seen anyone talk about this flight so I’ll pose it here if that’s okay. In the BEA investigation document appendix 7 page 116 you’ll find the CVR. Earlier in the document, they list notable call outs but omit one I think should’ve been looked at more closely thus the above reference. Here the question: Is there a connection of probe heat failure leading to temp sensor issues with the pitot tubes? We know the connection of a bonafide failure in probe heat to stalling and the pitot tubes via France 447. But I’m wondering if overheating was a sign the plane had false readings in air temps - I’d guess sensing it much cooler than it was. pilot 2 orders anti ice to be switched off and asks ground for help but they are interrupting and the conversations doesn’t return to the issue. Could this have been a sign a glitch was soon to occur with the stall detecting temperature reading problems with probe heat? P1 goes on record to say probe heat is “partially inop” speculating it is in fact overheating. This couldn’t have been normal on an A310. Idk it’s probably nothing but I’ve found many examples of temp sensors leading to pitot tube malfunctions. But not normally in Africa. Thoughts?
From my experience, these aircraft have redundant, duel airspeed pitot tubes and makes it easy for crews to figure out which indicator is false. Pitot tube anti ice systems are fairly simple,, they either work or they don't. There is a warning light in the cockpit if one becomes inoperative. Just saying,
hello! really loving the content. have you considered doing a video on united airlines flight 811? i find the progression of the investigation w/ the parents super interesting:D
In this instance, although the plane broke up, initially there were numerous people alive. But they subsequently drowned. Many on board couldn't swim. If help had come far sooner, amazingly MANY more people would of survived. If you can't swim....... LEARN.X
Thanks for this information. We now know what happened on that fateful. It happened so fast and no reason was given. Flying became scaring to most people
Technology is really a two headed monster. There are to many cases to list where pilots have flown a perfectly good plane into the ground but just as many where they ignored or missed a warning. On t/o into a black void at night is worse case and no time to troubleshoot. Looking back at this, full power and let the plane fly. Gain some altitude and troubleshoot. Yet a simulator check ride, not lowering the noise when a stall warning goes off = fail.
Takeoff into a black void is routinely done with the ADI. you know..the artificial horizon. There are 3 of those. Also,,if a stall warning sounds at low altitudes, I doubt dropping the nose is the right thing in THAT situation. Their are instruments on the plane to.ck altitude..Altimeter AND the callouts counting lower and lower...but he wants those turned of. Instrument..ADI would let them know quickly if the nose is pitched too high. If you.KNOW you're at a low altitude when the stall warning goes off...TOGA power sounds like that would be more prudent in this case. Get yourself some altitude then worry about the other shit.
@@patrickmollohan3082 You do drop the nose whilst applying full power. What you don't do is drop the nose so you start descending, switch off the height call outs when your down that low, and what you certainly don't do is not add full power. That should have happened right away and been instinctive.
@@jaguar3248 My mistake. What I meant to say was not to drop the nose lower than the horizon line on the ADI. ADD power and build speed and ascend by pulling the nose up by using your instruments as not to cause another stall. Once you have a few thousand feet cushion, then start fucking with whatever the problem is. I REALLY appreciate you pointing out my error. My biggest concern on these poor nations airlines is the corner cutting. Why dont these academies for these airlines push instrument use and manual flight skills? They all depend on AUTOMATION!! Nothing else matters to them. All they need to do is get the plane off the runway, and once you hit minimum height...switch the Autopilot on and not deal.with it until it's time to land. At the right airports, the planes can land themselves perfectly on the runway. My point is that in many of these crashes with 3rd world airlines is...too much relying on the automation and no emphasis on gauges or manual flying skills. Ok..I'll shut up now...lol!!
@@patrickmollohan3082 what’s the crash record for Kenya airways? You probably have no idea as you spew your third world theories. Wanting to sound smart 🤔
I was having dinner with the co-pilot, and a flight attendant, who flew the plane into Abidjan. We were at a garden restaurant along the main road linking the airportband CBD when we heard emmergency vehicles with sirens blaring and headed to the airport. None of us realized then that the outbound flight had crashed. It wasn't till next morning around 0410 that I got a call from a Kenyan friend in Abidjan telling me of the tradegy. It was a somber scene at Hotel Ivoire where Kenya Airways staff flown in from Nairobi set up their help and information station. I still think about this tradegy and feel for the families who lost members. My boss was supposed to have been on that flight but changed her schedule. A large number of the casualties were Nigerian, I believe. RIP
It isn't as much incompetence as it was confusing information because the stall warning should not sound on takeoff unless the configuration of the plane was wrong in which they ruled out. They also pushed the nose down but there was very little room for this. Stalls are more common after the plane had been flying, so pilots usually have more time and space to work with the stall.
if planes break apart during water landing, why does the instruction manual show a successful water landing? this wasnt even at full throttle and only shortly after takeoff and not nose down or anything, quite parallel to the water.
How can the investigators say there should have been enough information to realise its a false alarm. Especially at that low altitude you don't have enough time to look at your instruments plus also pilots are trained to straight away lower the nose as soon as the stall warning goes off
That is what every rank amateur, on up, is trained to do. Reduce the angle of attack and gain speed and air flow. It would seem the momentum of this beast simply ran it into the sea.
I know this is not a solution but here are some of the statistics: Airframe involved in crash: Delivered to Kenya Airways September, 1986. No previous owners. All Air Kenya a310s were retired by 2002 the latest being Aug 2002 (none of the 4 a310 were scrapped by Air Kenya, but sold to other airlines).
Just a suggestion - you have fantastic content, free of unneeded narrative, overly emotional voice-over (I'm looking at Mini Air Crash Investigation here) and well captured video to go along with the narrative. The music on this video though would be more suited to a murder/intentional killing/horror channel like Distruban or Shrouded Hand. Keep making great vids though, its always a treat to watch a new one!
In my own head I was screaming "Firewall the throttles and climb out at 10 degrees angle of attack; you can't possibly stall then!" Do you have that accident (I can't recall which one) in which a pitot failure led the pilots to believe they were accelerating past any sane speed their aircraft was capable of, so they pulled it into what turned out to be a fatal deep stall to bleed off the excess speed they didn't have?
Yet another case of "takeoff and landing are by far the most important parts of your job, but you're not smart enough to _not crash the plane_ because you heard a warning and immediately got tunnel vision." I get that humans are human, and that this is a fundamentally difficult occupation, but it's unsettling to see people who simply can't do it getting into the cockpit anyway and destroying lives and families with their incompetence.
I would have liked a bit more information regarding the following investigation. Sadly, nothing at all in this video. What about the pitot tubes? There was mention of the Sahara dust storms. Could the pitot sensors have been clogged and lead to a false reading of the air speed?
*If you say God spared the surviving ppl then that is to assume God ALLOWED THE VAST MAJORITY TO DIE or IGNORED THEIR PRAYERS. The truth is the survivors were just plain LUCKY depending on where luck had them sit.*
So they did everything right-- until they just nosed it into the ground immediately after takeoff? Instead of lessening the climb and applying full power, they just went 'eh let's descend' ❓❓❓❓❓
I'm not a pilot but even I know just by watching some of these videos that in the event of a stall warning you give FULL POWER and push the nose DOWN. How did a qualified pilot miss the first part of the stall recovery?
Well, you're at a low altitude and you risk crashing into the sea which such a maneuver, made worse when you can't distinguish what's the sky and what's the ocean itself.
It's so horrible, because I can't help but wonder if many more might have survived if the passengers had been sufficiently warned in time to get their vests on.
That wouldn't be possible, pilots and flight attendants usually warn passengers to due so if they are intending to ditch. Because this happened during takeoff and the pilots were preoccupied, there wouldn't be enough to time to relay such a message to passengers.
This is just Airbus's very own Max insident before going had their own mess with their 737 that when down, involving Data censors and faulty data software.
People seem to forget that, the A320 was faulty, see Air Inter and Air France crashes, Gulf Air crash in 2000. Remember that Lufthansa A320 crash in 1992? Faulty sensors on the gear, not detecting that the plane was on the ground. No plane type from Airbus is innocent.
Could possibly be spatial disorientation. It’s not always easy for a pilot to tell by sight or feel if they are ascending or descending, especially at night or over water.
@@redmanish yeah I’m familiar with spatial disorientation at night or during low visibility conditions, but surely if you are getting a stall warning you would glance at your airspeed indicator and your altimeter to actually confirm you are stalling, it just seems like common sense
@@dathremo. Ah sorry I thought you meant looking outside the plane, not looking down at the other instruments. Yes, it seems like there was enough information available for them to understand they were flying a stable plane despite the warnings. But since it was during takeoff they had a large workload and adding what seemed like a urgent “emergency” may have overwhelmed them.
It was a KQ flight from Abidjan to Nairobi via Lagos. Abidjan is next to the Atlantic ocean. If you knew your geography well you would not be confused!
@@58667679 Why thank you sir, a lack of geographic knowledge was not the problem. I misunderstood the departure airport. I have flown in and out of Kenyatta airport several times and thought it was the point of departure.
In many of these videos the plane is in a stall and falling, but the pilots ignore their altitude indicator which is telling them the plane is falling, and then just freeze instead of putting the pedal to the metal and opening up the 4 barrels kicking in the passing gear and pulling up. Maybe some old school 1940's altitude indicator and plane angle indicator need to be put in, that don't depend on a computer to work as a back up system. Maybe a flight training simulator system needs to be designed, that shocks you when you screw up in an emergency situation. Could it be that flight simulators have no repercussions, and are not really stressing the pilot, thus their brain does not learn to react in a real emergency instead it freezes in terror because it knows death is coming.

Keep making great vids though, its always a treat to watch a new one!
Agreed. The music was chilling.
In my own head I was screaming "Firewall the throttles and climb out at 10 degrees angle of attack; you can't possibly stall then!"
Do you have that accident (I can't recall which one) in which a pitot failure led the pilots to believe they were accelerating past any sane speed their aircraft was capable of, so they pulled it into what turned out to be a fatal deep stall to bleed off the excess speed they didn't have?
I was wondering will you do thai airways flight 311 ?
I will be covering that at some point yes
I remember the FO, had met him and his family a year before this crash. Very amiable couple. It was so sad.
There's something jarring about seeing a Southwest plane in a video about the A310
Yet another case of "takeoff and landing are by far the most important parts of your job, but you're not smart enough to _not crash the plane_ because you heard a warning and immediately got tunnel vision." I get that humans are human, and that this is a fundamentally difficult occupation, but it's unsettling to see people who simply can't do it getting into the cockpit anyway and destroying lives and families with their incompetence.
I don’t know the A310 seems to have taught us many hard learned lessons.
Nice channel I love it!
I would have liked a bit more information regarding the following investigation. Sadly, nothing at all in this video. What about the pitot tubes? There was mention of the Sahara dust storms. Could the pitot sensors have been clogged and lead to a false reading of the air speed?
*If you say God spared the surviving ppl then that is to assume God ALLOWED THE VAST MAJORITY TO DIE or IGNORED THEIR PRAYERS. The truth is the survivors were just plain LUCKY depending on where luck had them sit.*
So they did everything right-- until they just nosed it into the ground immediately after takeoff? Instead of lessening the climb and applying full power, they just went 'eh let's descend'
❓❓❓❓❓
I'm not a pilot but even I know just by watching some of these videos that in the event of a stall warning you give FULL POWER and push the nose DOWN.
How did a qualified pilot miss the first part of the stall recovery?
Well, you're at a low altitude and you risk crashing into the sea which such a maneuver, made worse when you can't distinguish what's the sky and what's the ocean itself.
It's so horrible, because I can't help but wonder if many more might have survived if the passengers had been sufficiently warned in time to get their vests on.
That wouldn't be possible, pilots and flight attendants usually warn passengers to due so if they are intending to ditch. Because this happened during takeoff and the pilots were preoccupied, there wouldn't be enough to time to relay such a message to passengers.
This is just Airbus's very own Max insident before going had their own mess with their 737 that when down, involving Data censors and faulty data software.
People seem to forget that, the A320 was faulty, see Air Inter and Air France crashes, Gulf Air crash in 2000. Remember that Lufthansa A320 crash in 1992? Faulty sensors on the gear, not detecting that the plane was on the ground. No plane type from Airbus is innocent.
Kenyans 🇰🇪 where ya at
Always here . Kenyan all life
One of my dad's friends was on board, when he heard the news a few days ago he went to see the body and the planes pieces 😢
So sad, I lost a friend who was a crew in that flight ✈️
I lost a dear friend in this crash😭
Although I always keep an eye on all instruments at all times, the PFD always has my priority.
Great video
Hurts more watching it as a fellow Kenyan
Damn that sucks..imagine getting lag while your flying a plane irl
So was the altimeter also malfunctioning? Wouldn’t he have just looked down and seen that they were still climbing?
Could possibly be spatial disorientation. It’s not always easy for a pilot to tell by sight or feel if they are ascending or descending, especially at night or over water.
@@redmanish yeah I’m familiar with spatial disorientation at night or during low visibility conditions, but surely if you are getting a stall warning you would glance at your airspeed indicator and your altimeter to actually confirm you are stalling, it just seems like common sense
@@dathremo. Ah sorry I thought you meant looking outside the plane, not looking down at the other instruments. Yes, it seems like there was enough information available for them to understand they were flying a stable plane despite the warnings. But since it was during takeoff they had a large workload and adding what seemed like a urgent “emergency” may have overwhelmed them.
@@redmanish Also, the precedence of warnings may have played a part in the pilot's decision.
The flight channel has not yet discovered this😭
I'm slightly confused, Kenya's coastline is on the Indian ocean. How did it crash in the Atlantic?
It was a KQ flight from Abidjan to Nairobi via Lagos. Abidjan is next to the Atlantic ocean. If you knew your geography well you would not be confused!
@@58667679 Why thank you sir, a lack of geographic knowledge was not the problem. I misunderstood the departure airport. I have flown in and out of Kenyatta airport several times and thought it was the point of departure.
In many of these videos the plane is in a stall and falling, but the pilots ignore their altitude indicator which is telling them the plane is falling, and then just freeze instead of putting the pedal to the metal and opening up the 4 barrels kicking in the passing gear and pulling up. Maybe some old school 1940's altitude indicator and plane angle indicator need to be put in, that don't depend on a computer to work as a back up system. Maybe a flight training simulator system needs to be designed, that shocks you when you screw up in an emergency situation. Could it be that flight simulators have no repercussions, and are not really stressing the pilot, thus their brain does not learn to react in a real emergency instead it freezes in terror because it knows death is coming.
Which year did this happen
If they fly during a day, they will survive because they can at least observe any environment better than night.
Please. An you do the lapa flight in beunos aires
Thanks for the red circle. I normally don’t know where the cockpit is on a plane
