Yeah, it's a scary thought that no one was dialed in. *I think there were only 3 pilots in the cockpit at the time of the crash. (9:08) The 4th was in the cabin & I'll bet he was the one of the 4 who was injured.
@@AV8R654 Seems this is more of a lesson in how easy it can be to become complacent--both pilots were quite experienced, even on other planes (i.e. not the 777), but still were able to make basic errors in judgment; this is a theme common in not online commercial airline accidents, but basically any accident involving complex systems. Moreover, as this video showed, one of those errors was actually because of the pilot's experience with the Airbus and lack of experience with the Boeing--his instinct upon approach was to pitch the nose up instead of pushing the throttle because that would have worked on the Airbus that he was accustomed to.
These pilots managed to crash a perfectly functional aircraft short of the runway during the day, in perfect weather and with no wind issues. Absolutely unforgivable airmanship.
@@Aviation_guy sorry to say, asiana also played role here, as they enforced automation instead of airmanship... so they made their crews more as "button mashers" and not pilots that fly the airplanes...
one of my favourite things about those videos (writing and editing skills aside - they are immaculate) - the community. how thankful everyone is for those videos. thank you green dot!
@@The-Cat huh?? i've literally been watching every single green dot video and finally decided to write a comment... only to be accused of being a bot :( i promise you i am not and i'm just actually admiring the channel's work.
They didn't know how because Asiana didn't teach them. They were taught to use automation at almost all times. They now know how to FLY the plane but not then and it was per policy
When you are tired , your brain stops working. The student pilot getting his certification would have probably failed and the training pilot was not doing his job either. Who knows, why. The third guy was probably tired also and maybe didn't want to speak up and it all happened too quickly. So maybe it is a cultural thing where no one wants to rock the boat.
I remember this crash. I flew into SanFran the day before with Delta. As we were landing, we suddenly went back up into the air. It freaked me out! I can't remember who he was anymore but the guy next to me had experience with planes or something... I guess he noticed I was confused and he actually said to me that the runway was doing some construction/repairs and he just explained a bunch of stuff about how planes land and why it might have taken back up suddenly and why were were fine. The next day, I woke up and saw the crash on Korean news. I just kept thinking about the things the conversation with the guy on the plane.
I'm blown away by the quality of this video. I'm not yet finished watching but I felt like I had to say this. And those night shots of the 777 reminded me of another recent video...

It's really surprising that there were "only" 3 fatalities given what this plane went through once it was close to the ground (one of them being from the SFFD accident). The video of the crash from an airport building where you can see the aircraft flipping around showed how violent the crash was, and even with all this tumbling only one person inside died.
@@richardshiggins704 Yes, that's who I was referring to by "the SFFD accident", SFFD is the San Francisco Fire Department. It was a mess. Even though there were some inconsistent reports initially, there is now no doubt that she was run over. SFFD described it as a "tragic accident" and said the passenger "was alive and lying outside the plane near one of its wings when the trucks ran over her". The parents sued, but somehow the case was settled without a payment. The firefighter who was driving the accident truck sued the city for being made a scapegoat instead of SFFD taking responsibility for the overall botched response, and he settled for $250k.
@@desmond-hawkins There's no doubt she was run over, however the question is whether or not she was alive prior to being run over. SF covered it up stating she was deceased already. However the city coroner said she was alive. An autopsy determined that she died from "multiple blunt injuries that are consistent with being run over by a motor vehicle. Our forensic examination revealed that she was still alive when she received those injuries". Also the case was settled with an undisclosed monetary payment. An attorney for Ye’s family, Gretchen Nelson, said the parties had reached “a confidential settlement on mutually agreeable terms,”
@@Passions Ah yes I remember these disagreements over whether she was still alive. I'm not where you're getting the "undisclosed monetary payment" though, where is that from?

Stumbled upon your channel a few days ago pretty much by accident. I lived in Ireland for half a year when I was 15 and I still miss it 5 years later, so hearing your accent really caught me and sent me down memory lane. I think I‘ve watched about 10 of you videos now and I‘m staying for the amazing storytelling, analysis and breakdown!
I know there's a lot going in the cockpit during a descent, and they were probably fatigued, but I find it baffling that someone could move the power back to idle and then a few minutes later think "why is the power not increasing" but not make any attempt to increase the power.
"Shame culture" is a very powerful incentive to avoid getting to grips with any deadly errors involving oneself as well as the mistakes being made by one's peers. The decision to "Go Round" should have been priority ONE and a lesson in proper airmanship for all concerned.
@@stephendavis6066even then, if he was looking on his speed, he would also see the "HOLD" sign on his flight computer and if he didn’t get responds from the autothrottle, he should have probably disconnected it or atleast put it into HOLD mode.
@@stephendavis6066 if the automatics aren't doing what's wanted of them and the correct response is to disconnect and get in a safe position to see what happened (in this case, go around) and then attempt the approach again. A go around doesn't hurt, not doing it does kill people
And to think these are TRAINED pilots on board ignoring basic protocol I’m not a pilot yet I was screaming at my screen for them to go around miles before they even realised what the hell was going on. And even then they didn’t realise what was going on until they were 100ft above the ground. Beyond comprehension How do such experienced pilots make such bad decisions?
Basically, these guys were incompetent through and through. I am a 777 pilot with over 8,000 hours on the aircraft. Still currently on it out of SFO. All a competent pilot needs on a clear sky day is his eyeballs, and airspeed. That is it. As soon as he realizes the glide slope was inoperative (after missing that fact on the ATIS), use Vertical Speed while on autopilot and put the green arc on the runway threshold on the navigation depiction. Better yet, just click the AP off and manually fly the yoke and throttles. Easy. These Korean pilots do not know how to manually fly an aircraft without automation. Think about that for a moment. Absurd. This is developing world pilot training and qualification requirements problem. OpSpecs of most outside US airlines have “must”use autopilot requirements down to 200’ AGL above touchdown and at 100”AGL on take off. I hate to say it, but Europe is like this as well. Also very rare to have military trained airline pilots outside the US. We (former military pilots) have all kinds of hands on manual flying experience and continue to hand fly aircraft below 5,000 ft most of the time. These guys are an embarrassment to airline pilots in general, Koreans, and Asiana Airlines.
I worked for an airline at SFO and remember this event like it was yesterday. We were all completely in shock of what had just occurred. I remember that plane, due to the investigation that would happen afterwards, stayed in that same spot near the runway for weeks.
Although there is nothing amusing about a plane crash, I still can't help but think of the dude that pranked that TV news channel by posing as some official from the NTSB on the phone. The phony, and hilarious pilots names he gave the station were actually reported on the air as: Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk, and Bang Ding Ow. Pissed them off something terrible when they realized they'd been had. Absolutely CLASSIC!
You've made all the other plane channels obsolete. Like there's just no reason to watch them anymore unless they cover something you haven't covered yet. It's impressive what you've done with this channel. Well done. Especially your MH370 video. I recommended your channel to my mum and she's an addict now.
I'd personally put Mentour Pilot with Green Dot as well. Mentour's channel is awesome with discussing accidents too. He has the best and most detailed video on Air France 447 today. He and Green Dot indeed makes many other aviation channel that discuss accidents obsolete.
@CoasterGuy787 LEMMiNO's Maylasia Airplane crash video was also good, as it used a lot of actual photos, although the animations were nowhere near as good as Mentour Pilot and Green Dot Aviation
@@ClaysonAntoons the analyses from Kelsey from 74 Gear and Hoover from Pilot Debrief are also very, very good. But yes, Petter from Mentour and GreenDot are really great.
The editing skills have become so much better green dot !! Also it’s incredible to see that you even updated the 777 to the latest hot fix .. Keep it up !!
Great description of the crash of Asians Flt. 214. There was also a breakdown in CRM which is one of the most critical functions in aviation. A go-around was also dictated when the aircraft was too low and just 500ft. from the runway.
I don't know how I didn't discover your channel before this, this is SOOO reminiscent of National Geographic's Air-Emergency series and I LOVE it. So well-produced, well explained and illustrated. Please don't stop making long-form videos like this
I got really into these videos bc of how interesting they were about a year ago only to find myself (a psych student) absolutely obsessed with them!! Not only are they amazingly written and edited but I also love the approach with which you think about these videos because they raise awareness about the psychological processes that underlie human behavior, leading to a chain effect that also impacts the other people present. Never thought these topics could be so related!! Keep up the good work👏👏
This is a great video i have always been interested in plane crashes and have been looking for a good video that explains what happend on this flight !! It's explained really well ❤ You're channel is to underrated you need more than 1 mill subs your editing skills are amazing!! Your my new favourite aviation channel
You make mention of the safety record of ASIANA. I’d question this with reference to an incident at Anchorage some (many?) years earlier involving a 747 which turned into the wrong gate. Rather than waiting for a tug to push them out, they elected to attempt a U-turn and in doing so a wing tip became lodged in the tail of an adjacent smaller parked aircraft. This mess was further compounded by the Asiana crew bringing the engines up to take off thrust in an attempt to dislodge, this resulted in baggage carts being propelled through windows in the terminal building. Asiana were banned from Anchorage for a number of years.
These are one of my favorite avation channels! This guy puts so much work in to these! He deserves more! Also can you cover what happened to Air Canada flight 143?
Your animations just keep getting better with each episode! I’m absolutely hooked onto this channel for no reason apart from the phenomenal storytelling and animation!
Excellent explanation and visuals! I always appreciate how you detail the changes to aviation safety at the end of the video if it applies. Really valuable!
One little known fact is that the only major international airline not to have suffered a crash or an incident involving injury in more than 50 years is Aer Lingus. Many people attribute this to the company policy of one completely manual take off and landing by every crew once a week. They can obviously still use the automation if things start to go wrong. Maintaining good manual flying skills is something ignored by far too many airlines these days. This video is a prime example. I am not saying that other pilots do not do it. but their are no company guidelines Another Aer Lingus policy, is check lists regularly tested by memory from the pilot calling them. In this case they are encouraged to change the order to best meet the the current situation. To most people it is fairly obvious that Sully did not save all those lives by reading scraps of paper.
Wow, the quick cut of the "familiarize yourself with this aircraft" narration when you do a view of the interior cabin of the plane. Nice detail. Have now been watching you since 66k subscribers, lol.
wow man everything has gotten so much better even from your last video. Your narrating voice has always been good but your intro is so clean now your editing seems more put together and the graphics in Flight Sim are so much better, bringing me into the story so much more. One of your best videos to date, maybe the Malaysian Flight 370 video is a bit better just due to the subject and the length but this is so good man so proud of you been subbed since 40k.
This report by a TV station was so funny because several people on the news team didn't recognize this very common joke that American kids learn at an early age. I think several people got fired for this. I think the original TV broadcast is on TH-cam.
Fun Fact: My uncle was on vacation in San Francisco on this day. He had literally just arrived at SFO, and he witnessed the aftermath of what happened seconds earlier.
Not sure which is more outrageous; the fact that the news coverage of the crash was used to make racist name jokes, or the fact that one of the passengers thrown from the aircraft on impact survived, and was subsequently immediately killed by a rescue vehicle running her over.
I think it is VERY OBVIOUS which is more outrageous !! The young lady that was killed by the rescue vehicle is orders of magnitude more outrageous than someone's use of words !!!! It's hard to believe that you would even make a comparison of the two. Wth !? Really ?
@@RobertCunningham-pf9tg She was covered in firefighting foam & couldn't be seen, the firies were rushing obvs to stop the fire & save lives, why would you think that what happened was anything other than a tragic accident..?
@@skullsaintdead l agree totally that it was a terrible accident. I was differentiating between the comparison of her death and someone's words. To me there's no comparison which is more tragic. That's the way the comparison was stated, and to me it was just ludicrous.
@@Talonflame33 Idk ? I was just commenting on the comparison of the 2 issues brought up in the post. To me, there's no comparison between losing a life and someone's words. That was my takeaway.
i love these videos. Great editing! there was recently a air cairo flight in which the pilot died and they had to land in jordan, id love to see that covered!
Very well explained! I've seen reports on this case on other channels, but this one was particularly well made. I really enjoy watching this channel's analysis and wish it continued success!
woahh.. i subscribed around the 50k mark (if i remember correctly) and so happy to see you crossed 400k. The 16 year girl that got crushed by fire truck is a grave tragedy and no punishments for the negligence of the SF firefighter driving the truck. Justice system is really messed up.
Im surprised you didn't mention that this was the same flight that when it was broadcast on TV the pilots names got read as Ho Lee Fok, wi tu lo. Would've immediately jumpstarted my memory
@25:30 I believe the call outs would be either “stabilized” or “ NOT stabilized” leaving room for saving a visual approach (such as this one was) by becoming completely stabilised at the very last call out at 300 feet….
Many just rehash media scrips with an hour of their own talking heads. This channel is the only one who uses his own creativity, logic and common sense as displayed in his well substantiated mh370 analyses and controversial thesis of pilot mass suicide. When 99.9% just rehashed the official government scripts like a cheap ripoff from an average aircrash disaster episode but with their own talking head instead of reconstructions, animations and overviews.
Yay new video, awesome production as always! I liked how you differentiated "body clock" time vs actual time. That's not usually always defined throughout narration of cases like these. I remember this on the news. It was shocking because I never heard of B-777 incidents. One would think you have to fear flying when there's inclement weather but naw I don't think they could've asked for nicer weather and bright time of literal day.
Once again, a fantastic video. Your editing and narrative skills continually improve as time goes on. Love to see it! I hope your channel grows even bigger, you deserve the recognition. Always look forward to your new uploads. Cheers.
My brother is a retired USAF pilot, now flying for a Major airline. A few years ago I asked him about this, he told me when it first happened he was pissed that the pilots could let this happen, until he had to land there himself. He said the setup was ridiculous, especially for the first time. He said without his military training it would have seemed impossible. He said now that he is aware of the setup, it isn’t an issue.
I have watched many of these crash recreations on YT and I must say this is one of the best I've seen 👍 This incident seems to have been highly avoidable. 4 pilots on board, good weather, relatively easy daylight approach. The fatigue element was known about so cannot be an excuse.
You’re absolutely amazing your editing and most importantly storytelling is amazing. I felt like I was living the life’s of everyone onboard the way you laid it all out and explained everything. When I watch things like these I feel disconnected and wondering what’s going on but when watching you I feel there and able to follow along. Your videos are amazing please keep doing these.

It's impressive what you've done with this channel. Well done. Especially your MH370 video. I recommended your channel to my mum and she's an addict now.
I'd personally put Mentour Pilot with Green Dot as well. Mentour's channel is awesome with discussing accidents too. He has the best and most detailed video on Air France 447 today. He and Green Dot indeed makes many other aviation channel that discuss accidents obsolete.
@CoasterGuy787 LEMMiNO's Maylasia Airplane crash video was also good, as it used a lot of actual photos, although the animations were nowhere near as good as Mentour Pilot and Green Dot Aviation
@@ClaysonAntoons the analyses from Kelsey from 74 Gear and Hoover from Pilot Debrief are also very, very good. But yes, Petter from Mentour and GreenDot are really great.
Airspace was better but hes gone back to being a pilot.
@@ClaysonAntoons also, DisasterBreakdown is top notch!
You covered a lot of good relevant details that other channels have not covered regarding this incident. Very well done.
Your videos were always great but these ones in the recent year have just been truly perfect
Glad you think so!
@@GreenDotAviation i hope you do too, you can be very proud of your work
I binged basically all your films, you're an engaging, thoughtful and knowledgeable narrator and I have learnt so much. Thank you!
Thank you kindly!
The editing skills have become so much better green dot !!
Also it’s incredible to see that you even updated the 777 to the latest hot fix ..
Keep it up !!
Great description of the crash of Asians Flt. 214. There was also a breakdown in CRM which is one of the most critical functions in aviation. A go-around was also dictated when the aircraft was too low and just 500ft. from the runway.
Just wanna say thanks. Ur the reason i got into aviation
Wow that's great to hear! Keep going ✈️
That intro music is SO crucial to set the tone. Love the videos!!!
I still remember when the “names of the flight crew” was leaked to the news and the lady reading the names out, you must admit it was funny af

Growing up in the 90s as the youngest of my family heard a lot of this tone at home, super nostalgic, thank you
these videos are really good! i also appreciate the visuals and explanations on how the systems work
I don't know how I didn't discover your channel before this, this is SOOO reminiscent of National Geographic's Air-Emergency series and I LOVE it. So well-produced, well explained and illustrated. Please don't stop making long-form videos like this
WAKE UP GUYS GREEN DOT ASIANA 214 VID DROPPED!??!? (the quality?!)
It is scary the possible negligence that can occur. Your videos are fantastic.
DAMN THOSE GRAPHICS! your video quality has imrpoved greatly!
its msfs with the new pmdg 777.
@@Pilot_JeffPMDG hasn’t released their 777-200 yet.
@@EthansAviation_ true, but it does look like msfs
@@Pilot_Jeff he may have used the captain sim B772 in the exterior shots but used the pmdg B773 in the interior shots
@@EthansAviation_ yes that would make sense, after all the captain sim exterior isnt that bad
Excellent video! Thank you for using a real voice and not AI. So much better that way.
I got really into these videos bc of how interesting they were about a year ago only to find myself (a psych student) absolutely obsessed with them!! Not only are they amazingly written and edited but I also love the approach with which you think about these videos because they raise awareness about the psychological processes that underlie human behavior, leading to a chain effect that also impacts the other people present. Never thought these topics could be so related!! Keep up the good work👏👏
That’s exactly why I find these incidents so interesting. These are ultimately stories about human psychology
This is a great video i have always been interested in plane crashes and have been looking for a good video that explains what happend on this flight !! It's explained really well ❤ You're channel is to underrated you need more than 1 mill subs your editing skills are amazing!! Your my new favourite aviation channel
You make mention of the safety record of ASIANA. I’d question this with reference to an incident at Anchorage some (many?) years earlier involving a 747 which turned into the wrong gate. Rather than waiting for a tug to push them out, they elected to attempt a U-turn and in doing so a wing tip became lodged in the tail of an adjacent smaller parked aircraft. This mess was further compounded by the Asiana crew bringing the engines up to take off thrust in an attempt to dislodge, this resulted in baggage carts being propelled through windows in the terminal building. Asiana were banned from Anchorage for a number of years.
Awesome video as always! Thank God there wasn’t any spoilers this time!
These are one of my favorite avation channels! This guy puts so much work in to these!
He deserves more!
Also can you cover what happened to Air Canada flight 143?
Your animations just keep getting better with each episode! I’m absolutely hooked onto this channel for no reason apart from the phenomenal storytelling and animation!
A perfect example of why pilots should be PILOTS and not comupter operators
100% incompetence
Excellent explanation and visuals! I always appreciate how you detail the changes to aviation safety at the end of the video if it applies. Really valuable!
One little known fact is that the only major international airline not to have suffered a crash or an incident involving injury in more than 50 years is Aer Lingus.
Many people attribute this to the company policy of one completely manual take off and landing by every crew once a week.
They can obviously still use the automation if things start to go wrong.
Maintaining good manual flying skills is something ignored by far too many airlines these days. This video is a prime example. I am not saying that other pilots do not do it. but their are no company guidelines
Another Aer Lingus policy, is check lists regularly tested by memory from the pilot calling them. In this case they are encouraged to change the order to best meet the the current situation.
To most people it is fairly obvious that Sully did not save all those lives by reading scraps of paper.
I was scheduled to fly on this plane when I was 5...we canceled our tickets a couple days before.
Thanks!
Thank you!
@@GreenDotAviation thank you for your great videos!
I'm really impressed watching your videos, all these animations and simulations simply encourage watching, I wish everyone a good watch
3:20 the shoes of the wing walker just floated in front of him 🙂
Great video. The graphics get better each time!
Your videos motivate me to study aviation
Glad to hear that
Wow, the quick cut of the "familiarize yourself with this aircraft" narration when you do a view of the interior cabin of the plane. Nice detail. Have now been watching you since 66k subscribers, lol.
Great video, about the crash that became a literal meme.
You know its a good day when green dot aviation posts
Mentour but significantly better AND without the obnoxious, narcististic inflated sense of ego. Love it
Kinda harsh on poor Peter? He's a nice man
Don;t see how it's better. Mentor is a 737 training captain.
wow man everything has gotten so much better even from your last video. Your narrating voice has always been good but your intro is so clean now your editing seems more put together and the graphics in Flight Sim are so much better, bringing me into the story so much more. One of your best videos to date, maybe the Malaysian Flight 370 video is a bit better just due to the subject and the length but this is so good man so proud of you been subbed since 40k.
Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏼 We’re always trying to improve the quality so I’m glad to hear you think it’s paying off :)
Love you gang
It’s worth mentioned that the videos quality have increased, keep going ❤️
Oh yes, good ole Captain Sum Ting Wong and First Officer We Tu Lo.
I was looking for this comment!
Still funny
This report by a TV station was so funny because several people on the news team didn't recognize this very common joke that American kids learn at an early age. I think several people got fired for this.
I think the original TV broadcast is on TH-cam.
@@johnhanson9245 the greatest troll of all time.
I saw the yellow sun and the blue sky today. I knew there'd be a Green Dot Aviation production today. Thank you.
Fun Fact: My uncle was on vacation in San Francisco on this day. He had literally just arrived at SFO, and he witnessed the aftermath of what happened seconds earlier.
fun fact, i was working at the hotel across from SFO, The Westin SFO and I saw it happend
fun?!
@@damienjeremyweir4543 Maybe not so fun...
@@damienjeremyweir4543fact??
There was even a training captain in the cockpit... unbelievable!!!!
Hopping on a plane in about an hour, gotta make sure I’m sufficiently irrationally nervous (:
did you survive?
@@mattsan70 really can’t say that when they are still in the air.
No response. Looks like they crashed. Oh well.
Did u survive?
I love how detailed your videos are
Not sure which is more outrageous; the fact that the news coverage of the crash was used to make racist name jokes, or the fact that one of the passengers thrown from the aircraft on impact survived, and was subsequently immediately killed by a rescue vehicle running her over.
I think it is VERY OBVIOUS which is more outrageous !! The young lady that was killed by the rescue vehicle is orders of magnitude more outrageous than someone's use of words !!!! It's hard to believe that you would even make a comparison of the two. Wth !? Really ?
@@RobertCunningham-pf9tgI think she was already dead when she was ran over
@@RobertCunningham-pf9tg She was covered in firefighting foam & couldn't be seen, the firies were rushing obvs to stop the fire & save lives, why would you think that what happened was anything other than a tragic accident..?
@@skullsaintdead l agree totally that it was a terrible accident. I was differentiating between the comparison of her death and someone's words. To me there's no comparison which is more tragic. That's the way the comparison was stated, and to me it was just ludicrous.
@@Talonflame33 Idk ? I was just commenting on the comparison of the 2 issues brought up in the post. To me, there's no comparison between losing a life and someone's words. That was my takeaway.
What a day. Green Dot and 3 greens both releasing on the same one. Excellent video, ty for the effort put in it clearly shows
It’s a good day, but it’s great when Green Dot drops a vid.
Love your breakdowns and learning from them!

woahh.. i subscribed around the 50k mark (if i remember correctly) and so happy to see you crossed 400k. The 16 year girl that got crushed by fire truck is a grave tragedy and no punishments for the negligence of the SF firefighter driving the truck. Justice system is really messed up.
Im surprised you didn't mention that this was the same flight that when it was broadcast on TV the pilots names got read as Ho Lee Fok, wi tu lo. Would've immediately jumpstarted my memory
I highly recommend you do a video on TWA 800 and Lauda 004
Thank you! I will be covering both at some point 🙌
@@GreenDotAviationBROTHER EASTERN AIRLINES PLS
Daaaamn Sum Ting Wong :(
@25:30 I believe the call outs would be either “stabilized” or “ NOT stabilized” leaving room for saving a visual approach (such as this one was) by becoming completely stabilised at the very last call out at 300 feet….
@01:40 Where's captain Bang Ding Ow?
I love watching you, Mentour and a few others, your editing reallyy has gotten great!! Keep em coming 😃
Many just rehash media scrips with an hour of their own talking heads. This channel is the only one who uses his own creativity, logic and common sense as displayed in his well substantiated mh370 analyses and controversial thesis of pilot mass suicide. When 99.9% just rehashed the official government scripts like a cheap ripoff from an average aircrash disaster episode but with their own talking head instead of reconstructions, animations and overviews.
Captain We To Lo
Great video! You're getting up there with Mentour Pilot. That's not judgement, it's high praise!
Yay new video, awesome production as always!
I liked how you differentiated "body clock" time vs actual time. That's not usually always defined throughout narration of cases like these.
I remember this on the news. It was shocking because I never heard of B-777 incidents.
One would think you have to fear flying when there's inclement weather but naw I don't think they could've asked for nicer weather and bright time of literal day.
Yesss! Keep rewatching old videos (and I’ve watched every single one) thank you sir!!
Once again, a fantastic video. Your editing and narrative skills continually improve as time goes on. Love to see it! I hope your channel grows even bigger, you deserve the recognition. Always look forward to your new uploads. Cheers.
My brother is a retired USAF pilot, now flying for a Major airline. A few years ago I asked him about this, he told me when it first happened he was pissed that the pilots could let this happen, until he had to land there himself. He said the setup was ridiculous, especially for the first time. He said without his military training it would have seemed impossible. He said now that he is aware of the setup, it isn’t an issue.
I have watched many of these crash recreations on YT and I must say this is one of the best I've seen 👍
This incident seems to have been highly avoidable. 4 pilots on board, good weather, relatively easy daylight approach. The fatigue element was known about so cannot be an excuse.
You’re absolutely amazing your editing and most importantly storytelling is amazing. I felt like I was living the life’s of everyone onboard the way you laid it all out and explained everything. When I watch things like these I feel disconnected and wondering what’s going on but when watching you I feel there and able to follow along. Your videos are amazing please keep doing these.
Your work is amazing and keeps getting better!
Any time you say “he was described as…” my heart immediately sinks
Another awesome video my friend !! You are a very talented storyteller and editor. Yourself and Mentor Pilot are head and shoulders above the rest in your field. ✌️
