They don’t want any criticism of communism they love it. For us of course not themselves
yt really are asses sometimes, or should I say google
Google is the enemy of humanity.
@@jasont9907If you think TH-cam is a communist organization, you don’t know one damn thing about economics.
The only airliner I know of to have side-by-side rear mounted engines- a strange configuration which no doubt made maintenance harder,
The Vickers VC-10 has the same layout. The two planes are nearly identical.
And the Lockheed Jetstar !
@@ericblair6984 and the Lockheed Jetstar
There was even the rumor the Sowjets copied IL-62 the engine configuration of the VC-10- By the way there is amother plane with this configuration - the Lockheed Jetstar

@@ericblair6984 Nearly would be optimistic.
After 1988 crask of POL IL 62 planes were redesigned - engines, firealarms and IL 62 became plane without any crash in next 30 years of flying. Sadly changes come after tragic losses.
Changes written in blood.
The two crashes of Polish LOT's IL-62 were caused by unauthorised design modifications an dpoor workmanship in Soviet factories. Mainly.
Malheureusement 😢
After the DC-10 redesigns it also went on to be a very reliable and safe airplane. But its reputation followed it around forever.
There were three fatal accidents of the IL62 after the second LOT crash. If you mean only at LOT then that makes no sense since they retired the IL62 only a few years later.
Well presented. I remember this tragic accident ... thank you for making the story and events clearer.
You might as well be. The airliners are busier than ever screwing over passengers with every kind of charge ($$$$) they can imagine. Next, it will be pay toilets on airplanes.@spaceace1006
The IL 62.
A plane held together with bailing wire and flown on Vodka and prayers.
Absolutely horrific...great video. Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you
@@MPCFlights You're welcome!!
The IL62 is a beautuful jet. I got to see them operating in Europe in the 1980s. It IL62, the Yak40 and the Sud Caravelle were sights to behold in the skies back then. Beautiful aircraft.
An eye opening watch but at the end left with profound sadness at the sight of the memorial stone. 😢
One can only imagine the terror and screams of the passengers on board......
jeffreyhearn I've read comments more stupid than yours but I cannot remember when.
Oh he's right.@@californiadreaming9216
Great background noises and dialog here!!!!
I wonder sometimes how many situations like this where there is a problem with flight controls, and it seemed to correct itself, the decision not to land at the nearest airport end up in a disaster because it was decided to return to the original airport.
Great observation! Points well made. 👍👍👍
Perhaps there were no other nearby airports within the vicinity of the jet at the time of the emergency? Plus, this is the German Democratic Republic, and being an eastern bloc country, it had limited access to western block (i.e, West Germany) airspace. Very few eastern bloc airliners flew to western bloc countries.
@@amalayperson7208To Bulgaria they would not fly over West Germany.
There have been a number of crashes that could have been averted had the pilots known the real situation.
There's a few IL- 62s in service.
A good jet but affected by a avoidable design flaws
Its accident rate isn't any worse than other aircraft of the period
@@davidkavanagh189😂😂
@@markbantz9699 I don't know what you find funny about that? It had way less hull losses per unit built than the 707. In actual fact it was statistically a lot safer than other aircraft of the same era and mission.
I have watched one too many videos like this and will never, ever fly again !
Other things you should never, ever do again: Drive through an intersection. Get into an elevator. Tell a cop to get a real job. Use a public restroom. 😄
One of the few planes that ran on diesel.....
Again fantastic MPC flights brilliant video youtube ! ... thanks 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🎬
Thank you
So terribly sad. RIP
Visualization is with a version “M” but in reality the aircraft involved was the original version “sans suffix”
And who cares
@@Speedyrunnnyou are a loser
Interflug was also forced out of business because the German government-owned Lufthansa was already facing enough competition and they made sure that it would never have a real chance to survive.
Interflug was an East German state owned airline that only ever made a huge loss. After German reunification Lufthansa tried to buy 25% it was blocked, BA also considered a buyout but the airlines only real assets were airport landing slots.
Thanks for this one. Very rarely East German Interflug is shown. Maybe one day you can cover Aeroflot flight 892 from Minsk to East Berlin, which crashed on 12 December 1986 due to pilot error, killing 72 of the 82 passengers and crew on board, including 20 of the 27 schoolchildren from city of Schwerin on their way back from the USSR on their school trip.
Thank you for this video. Out of curiosity was there a CVR transcript, a German documentary stated that it and the FDR stopped working after takeoff?
Some comms with atc were transcribed, and yes, the cvr stopped working shortly after the failure.
@@MPCFlights Where would I find the ATC comms?
Didn't Aeroflop run a bunch of IL-62's back in the day?
I would love to know what flight sim you use and where to get these excellent Soviet era aircraft from? 👌
Decent videos. Is it too difficult to add voice over? Would be much more worthwhile.
that glitch small like in cockpit that so creepy 8:56
The thing is this, the real test of any aircraft only comes when the machine flies with a full compliment of passengers and crew over distance. Only then do problems become apparent.
That esculated fast.
But how could a plane built in The Workers Paradise have a defect?
*Great* graphics!!!
@sludge8506 I most certainly do agree with u ,but the damn word *flight attendant * is completely INCORRECT, because if the person is a man then he is a steward, but if she is a woman 👩 then she is a stewardess, & there is no such thing whatsoever as *flight attendant * , & the word steward porcedes from the days when px traveled on ocean liners & then there was a Steward who assisted the px traveling 🧳 from one point to another, therefore the only correct wording is either Steward or Stewardess 😮😮
Thanx for utilising the time in 24hr segments, & this makes sense & is very reasonable to do this ❤😊
Big fan of your work…I’m in hospital from past 3days today my health got somehow cure 😂and 1st thing i opened was your video i love all your content…i will feel happy if my comment get pinned☺️
Glad to know you're feeling better. Keep it up!
@@MPCFlights 😍🥰
Thankyou to pin 📌 my comment..I’m discharged from hospital and waiting for your next video❤️🇮🇳
I saw a model of that plane back in 1971. It's either a VCC-10 or a VCC-12 both closely similar. Never saw it except that.
The Ilyushin IL 62 was a Soviet copy of the British Vickers VC10 which was of a much better and safer design. Seems the VC10 plans the Russians got hold of were not very detailed......
Yes, a copy of Vickers VC-10
@@PaulTuck-o2d The IL version was craaaaaaaaaaaaap
In Russia VCC means Vodka Caused Crash.
Really very good video. Thanks
Man that would be a terrible way to go . Ugh
This flight is Interflug flight 450
Passengers did not wear back packs back then...pilots had problems,not "issues"...just sayin'.
Can you link me the model? Or is it just from FSX?
The cutesy word "issue" was not in use at that time. We had PROBLEMS back then,
Familiar to the accident, still this is a verry good (and schokking) representation of the facts
What was the FS and where can I find the model?
Excellent video.❤
Thank you
Yes, we all know this was East Germany. What the video title is trying to say in modern times it's Germany and East Germany is now a part of Germany, and in Germany as a whole, this was the worst air disaster. It's not that hard to understand.
porque este no esta en el canal en español?
that was a good crew and I think they would have managed to land even without the tail controls, but obviously not without the tail itself. They were doomed.
The Swiss cheese was lining up even before takeoff.
It's likely the fire was already spreading even before the aircraft took off.
This was more fire than cheese
They should have headed for the closest airport rather than their point of origin.
The VC10 had 4 rear mounted engines
Hopefully, Interflug will scrap the IL62s and buy VC10s after this.
They bought Airbus 310 before German unification.
@alexandermathar7780 There is a A310 sized hole in commercial aviation now.
With thick black smoke from burning cargo and especially deicing chemicals would have most likely spelled doom for the passengers before they could get on the ground and exit the plane anyway. Even at a closer airport.
Semester that il62 is the M Model cause the clamshell reverses and that came after the crash
What game is this??
I didn't know that Boeing built Ilyushin!
The placement of the engines looks odd to me. Can someone enlighten me why it was done like this? Did any Western aircraft use this method? And is there any advantage to not having the engines on the wings?
great as usual !
Is it a Sovjet built airplane?
Yes
USA could build duds as well. Think DC10 with its detachable cargo doors. Come to think of t they still can! Think 737MAX.
Moral of this story, DONT fly Iluyshin OR Tupilov!
You could also say Douglas (think DC10) or Boeing (think 737 MAX)
Execelente video reconstructivo buenas gráfico buena información detallada de te este vuelo muchas gracias broth saludos cordiales 💯🇨🇴✈️🙏🙌 bendicione .
! Vuelo 66 de airfrance para reconstrucción en TH-cam??
Soon hehe
And now....let's hear from the experts.
That soviet piece of junk killed thousands, and soviets knew about engines issues and entire tail controls. All passenger aircrafts back then had dual control systems for this kind of emergencies. Not IL-62 and IL-62m..
@hj8272.
Why on earth did Germany buy that piece of junk? Germany was not a poor country at that time; they had Boeings.
@@redblade8160 Lol😂 Come on, you know very little about basic elementary history. Hint: East Germany and West Germany…
@@B737900ER
Obviously, it's you that knows very little about keeping up with history. East Germany and West Germany recovered (financially) slowly after the war, but within 25 years, the two sides were more prosperous compared to other European countries (including Great Britain). In 1972, when this aircraft incident occurred, there was no need for Germany to buy second-hand aircraft junk from Russia (Germany already had a contract with Boeing to buy their brand new aircraft).
@@redblade8160 it has nothing to do with economy. Interflug = East Germany airline, (Soviet Union controlled). You are sure they could just go ahead and buy a Boeing?🫣 The answer is obvious...
@@B737900ER
Okay, I didn't know that the Soviet Union had its clutches on East Germany... That explains the air crash in more detail.
I flew on Interflug IL62
I flew on IL-62Ms numerous times between 1980 and the early 2000s. Twice from Montreal to Moscow and return on Aeroflot in 1980 and '81 and more than 15 times from Toronto to Havana and return on Cubana between 1987 and 2003. To my mind the IL-62M was was an excellent aircraft, as reliable and safe as western airliners of the time and with comfortable and spacious interiors and seating and whisper quiet in the passenger compartment due to their 4 pod mounted rear engines at the far aft of the the plane. I wish they were still flying today.
@@martinsuter3531
You're talking out of your backside! Russian planes are a disaster waiting to happen (so many design flaws). You just got lucky!
Redblade’s kidney stones are acting up again. 🙀
@@sludge8506
You're a funny fellow; it doesn't take much for you to get upset over things. Why are you so miserable?
@@redblade8160 =Yeah you're right, I got lucky...along with with quite literally *MILLIONS* of other IL-62 passengers.
Ganz genau das war in der DDR und nicht in Deutschland,das wollen wir doch unterscheiden!!
I didn't know that the IL-62 needed a navigator. Did the DDR and other Soviet-aligned countries not have extensive radio navigation networks, or were Eastern-bloc avionics not miniaturized enough to simply be part of the instrument panels?
I know tubes stuck around a little longer in Eastern-bloc countries than they did in western electronics.
Tetrajet ????
Cheap Vickers VC-10 copy.
Half an hour just showing pictures of the plane
I really do feel so very sad & sorry for all of the px & the pilots who died in the terrible crash situation of the IL 62 , & I really do hope & pray 🙏 that they are now in heaven, but one must always remember the words of our LORD & SAVIOUR , JESUS CHRIST, “watch & do not waken the devil 😈, because ye do not know neither the hour nor the day of yr death 💀, so be prepared to meet thy MAKER” who will judge ye & all of the world 🌍 ❤😢😢😢
"Watch and do not waken the devil?" Not in the scriptures
Very informative but sad🤔😞
Flight 450 to be exact m8
I hear there are conflicting sources regarding the flight number.
Harrowing.
I strongly doubt that GlobeGround has served East German airports back in 1972. As well as it was the GDR, not Germany. What a piece of shitty CGI.
It was A Germany, since we had TWO of them from 1949 until 1990.
Was the captain any relation to the Pfaff sewing machine empire?
Are you thinking of Edith Piaf, the French singer, maybe?
Pfaff is a manufacturer for sewing machines.
Either way, he as well as his passengers got stitched up .
@@Gopferteckel
We get your point!
Why don't you just disable all these nasty comments?
That sound effect caught me off guard!! 8:37
Sintetico e drammatico.
Not dusrlheim duseldorf lol
bruh...
😥
Very poor comentary from someone who does'nt understand.
Hard to believe but the Ruskies build even worse aircraft than boing
Around this time Douglas were building DC10s that detached the cargo door without even needing a fire. Come to think of it Boeing build 737MAXs that open their doors in flight still!
This was NOT Germany, it was DDR, a independent state
The DDR was aN independent state covering part of historical and modern-day Germany. This was the worst aeroplane accident over historical and modern-day Germany.
@@anthonyflambard6472 How do You define historical Germany?
Following Your position a Russian airplane crash in Kaliningrad count to Germany?
Huge parts of modern Hungary and West Ukraine were parts of Austria, so every plane crashing there is Austrian statistics?
And if You go a little back in time most parts of Europe were part of the Roman Empire, so it is an Italian crash????
And the great debate of
‘Po-TAY-to’
‘Po-TAH-to’…
reaches the
global
international dispute!😂
It was East Germany as you well know
This was East Germany, (Germany was split East and West after World War II) totally under Russian control at the time. Of course they had to use Russian aircraft. Thank President Reagan for giving the push that encouraged the Russia to release E. Germany back to the west for unification.( unfortunately the Germans don't have much gratitude for Reagan doing this).
So, yes it was the worst crash in Germany which is reunited now.
💯💯💯❤🤍💚

How dare you say this hsllebed on the 16th of August without specifying the year... The channel is a joke
It does say the year genius
"The tail detached" - soviet build sturdiness.
You don’t know much about air craft crashes do you? 😂😂😂
Can't stand video game technology. Thumbs down!
Surely that should read grahamsourpuss.
This is what you get when you buy russian.
Feel free to buy Boeing... 737MAX!
Or early DC-10s.
@@jerromedrakejr9332 Boeing is at least state of art with the latest avionics, engines and whatnot. Unlike with russian crap where you get essentially a flying kolkhoz tractor running on vaccuum tubes 😎
@@Рашка-у8й And then there is the safety record that speak for itself, Russian made planes had less crashes 😎
@@Carlito_Brigante93 this supposed safety record is an optical illusion - the russian crap wasn't used nowhere as intensively as the western counterparts they were copied from.
death trap junk.
Just like the 737MAX!

So close, damn! If they only knew there was a fire, might have been able to put it down earlier. Just DAMN!!
