Whenever I hear that piano, I know someone is monumentally screwed.
underrated comment
It’s really beautiful piano playing too
Yeah some reason the piano reminds me of impending doom, probably because I've seen so many of these that were disastrous and most played the piano.
Yeah that airport shouldn't exist, just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen with an airport like that.
Not ever time, I waited at end after piano music, and he says Everyone Survived!! Most times not though!!
Makes me wonder whose bright idea was it to build an airport there in the first place. RIP
ChibiGingi and not update its equipment
Sadly it's the capital of our country, and it wasn't built with any design in mind, just expanded as people moved in, so the place for an airport or its surroundings wasn't contemplated until the need arose to have one.
The airport was built for small propeller driven aircraft.
@@rnash999 And later 'adapted' for larger planes when the industry grew? That makes sense...
@@TheChibiGingi - I think it was sheer stupidity to utilise an airport built for light commercial flights (prop-planes) - and even permit large commercial jets to approach . - sheer madness !!!
.
With that hard left-bank into the runway,... it needed to be 400meters longer to cover all eventualities.
"Dangerous airports" should not be a thing.
Exactly
One of the most common sense things anyone has ever said on the Internet. 👏
in some cities like tegucigalpa it’s unavoidable
@@diegocastillotwo The same is true of Paro International Airport in Bhutan. It is located in the only valley in the country that is capable of having a long enough runway. I flew there in 2008, just four years after Druk Air got their first Airbus. The final approach through the Himalayan valley is very low, and requires turning around a mountain. The pilot has a very short time to line up, and the runway starts at the bend of the river. At that time, the pilots were all Swiss, with Bhutanese first officers, and they had an impeccable safety record. We were warned that there was a significant chance we would be canceled and rescheduled on account of weather, but that didn’t happen and our flight was uneventful. It’s a small but beautiful airport.
Except St. Maarten. I want to keep that one
As a Salvadorean , the graphics are impeccable . The airport and the area surrounding is exactly how it actually is
as a Honduran, I agree!
Is a game simulator.

I've wondered with how detailed they are if they were accurate at all. I'll take your word for it.
Msf 2020 will make this look like a joke! I can’t wait till he starts making these vids on msf 2020 it will look STUNNING!
I like the fact that you still are very respectful when making these video, thank you
Yeah i think the same.Even in news or TV they are not good as this Guy.
I was at the airport when the plane crashed, had just arrived in time for a flight. I was only eight years old but I remember it very vividly. I remember sitting inside and waiting for news to reach us of just what had gone wrong, when a lady came in, bleeding from a huge gash in her forehead. We later learned she was disoriented. She had fled the scene but was still in shock. The airport was never the same after this. Big planes don't land there, and most people avoid it, since the one in San Pedro Sula is far safer, making it the best choice in the country.
Ana Mendoza ....your english is phenomenal......

crocusflower ,,,
bet that made you think twice about getting on that plane.
crocusflower I’ve landed their before
I grew up in Central America, and we used to say that TACA stood for "Take A Chance Airlines"
That doesn't work in Spanish, though. 😑
Well, I thought it was funny asf🤣
@@gingataisen It doesn't matter whether it doesn't work in Spanish. I know of several jokes that only work in Spanish but whose contents is English; for example, one is a pun between the hillbilly-like Spanish question "¿ónde vas?" (for "¿dónde vas?," meaning "where are you going?") and the English question "on the bus?" which sounds pretty close the same.
@@wafikiri_ This is a bit more out of reach for a native Central American. You wouldn't get too far with this joke in spanish.
@@gingataisen Well, I haven't told the joke itself, which is a bit long, just the core of it as an example. I told it twenty years ago to someone who lived in Arizona and she laughed a lot, and was much intrigued that Spaniards could have such Spanish-English jokes.
Tegucigalpa is now off my bucket list
zghvbn1 it’s the murder capital of the world should have never been on your bucket list
Well you could leave it on just put it at the Bottom ?
I've been there many times, the approach is bad but if you're really careful and vigilant it's possible to land there.
@@jackson.denzler. actually it isn't the murder capital of the world, that was San Pedro sula and even that isn't the murder capital anymore, right now it's a tie between a place in Venezuela and Jalisco mexico.
Aww, c'mon, flying in there would by fun and exciting...kinda like the carnival roller coaster...
A beautiful but sad video, as a retired pilot myself, this approach would scare the sh..t out of me!
so tell me amigo...seen a UFO before?
As a pilot, what do you think of an automatic barricade of the type used for emergency traps on an aircraft carrier, scaled up in size and strength for airliners, that pops up to stop a landing aircraft whose speed at a certain point on the runway indicates an overrun will occur?
@@hshs5756 In the spirit of your suggestion, take a look at the EMAS arrestor system here. Just saved a Passenger Jet at Burbank Intl last month, btw:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_materials_arrestor_system
Quicksand for Unauthorized Runway Excursions !
Hs Hs that is not possible at least for now.. imagine try to stop an a380 full of passenger and cargo, that would take a very large and strong barricade or net with very large surface area to stop it safely without having anyone injured and they would need to redesign the airport runway just to install that barricade
efferness - Never take chances. If not sure, don't. If sure, do.
The captain should have gone with his instincts and landed at that other airport.
ROBERT NIX Alternative Rock/Pop Artist I wholeheartedly agree with you, one should never disregard your instinct you have them for a reason use them, I always tell my wife and children what does their instincts tell them to do? then act on your instinct
I think what was meant there, was that the captain was considering the other airport if they missed their 2nd approach.
@@DoubleMonoLR He shouldn't have tried even once....MUCH less a 2nd time.
@Gary Dodgson Big mistake. If I were the captain, knowing that airport's history, and how much harder it is to land there during a rainstorm, the weight limits for a plane to land there, etc., I would have scrapped the first landing and landed at the other airport.
@ A frustrated Gamer I think that is the most sensible thing to do I.e. reclassify the airport as it was deemed very challenging if not dangerous.
When the plane landed hurray!! But when it didn't stop my heart stopped... OH no no no
Ghdjs Hsjsjz and that’s why no one should clap when the plane lands! Just because it’s touched the ground doesn’t mean you’re safe 😩
TBH, it could have been worse.
@@camilab1121 Even parking doesn't assure complete immunity from risks.
th-cam.com/video/7O4kcMmxeSA/w-d-xo.html
Memories of that Air France A340 landing at Pearson airport, Toronto, also in wet conditions on less than their longest runway. No deaths or even serious injuries IIRC that time thankfully. That would make an excellent video too.
Outstanding, the airport animations are great, couldn't get any better. Not only do you give detailed information with all the correct names etc you do a fantastic job of flying the aircraft itself. You understand how the aircraft works, you know how to program the FMC etc and you know how to fly. It takes all these skills to pull off a successful video like this and you do it perfectly, Thank you again for your time, hard work and for sharing.
66lwmorgan
I highly doubht he is able to fly an aircraft, not to speak about programming an FMC.
@@rederstreet He meant 'and you know how to fly' as in the plane in the game, Captain Obvious.
Agreed - great research, great editing and graphic skills! Not to mention the great care you put into showing respect to those who have perished and those families left behind. Always tastefully done! PS- also love the choice in music, very sombre, compassionate and tactfully done!
66lwmorgan ofc some nerd got to write a damn book
I agree! So professionally done!
I flew to Honduras in high school, and we were scheduled to land at this airport. We actually ended up diverting to San Pedro Sula after the pilot tried to land the plane, and now I see why.
I had very little knowledge of planes back then but I remember the plane seeming like it was going WAY too fast to land, and the nose was pitched down further than it normally is.
I had no idea this was one of the worst airports in the world, but having experienced it for myself, I believe it.
Great video, the quality is excellent as always!
@.HoneyLove.
Fortunate that your pilots used great caution and made the right choice.
It's hard to understand why the pilot insisted on landing even though he had an alternate plan that would have been much safer.
@RedneckSpaceMan well thank you, I appreciate the compliment! 😁
And yes, I'm definitely glad we diverted... going to Honduras was enough of a risk alone. But the flight we took into Honduras was NOTHING compared to the creaking rust-bucket of a plane we took to Roátan Island. It was a tiny plane, it could fit maybe 20-25 ppl and had no A/C in 100°+ weather. It was shaking and making some much noise I almost passed out from fright.
@@watershed44 I often wonder if pilots are penalized or something if they have to go to another airport to land, because it seems like a lot of these pilots feel pressured to land the plane even in sketchy conditions...
@.HoneyLove.
I would think that as long as circumstances like dangerous weather conditions or plane issues merited that action they wouldn't be penalized that might even be against gov't regulations.
@@watershed44 that's what I would think too, especially since everyone's safety is at risk when the conditions aren't right for landing.
But the way these pilots almost seem pressured to land the plane the first time just makes me wonder.
What an incredibly stupid place for an airport.
And you haven't seen Mexico City's, my hometown. Surrounded by mountains too and in a residencial area
There is one in Nepal. Tenzing-Hillary Airport. Seriously, I just don't understand why the hell people make their lives complicated unnecessarily. Just close these shitty places, rebuild them down there in safer zones and provide buses and taxis for them who need it to go up there in hills, Godddamit.
@@atuldpatil all they care about is money it’s gonna cost them more
@Atix Zyft I had a feeling this was the case. Its the fault of those Idiots who build their houses next to Airports who take most of the blame.
*** What an incredibly stupid place for an airport. ***
No, its more like ... What an incredibly Stupid Place for people to build their Houses around (the Airport was there first).
9:51.... the second you think you should land someplace else, is exactly when you should fly someplace else. There are two things that are almost always right. Woman's intuition and a man's gut instinct. Almost never wrong.
Assuming those two didn't waste time arguing about it, listened each other, and made resolutions.
*That's why I got 12 Children and 42 Grandchildren - Birthdays are are a Nightmare !*
So true and yet so often they get it wrong. Doubt is a very useful friend.
What the hell, with such an approach and short runway you just want people to die especially with such a steep embankment right after the end... they should keep the Aiport authorities responsible for this...
Yeah
I agree, this airport is a death trap, even more the most advanced passenger jets. I'm not in the aviation business, but surely there is an international agency that can ban this airport from use for commercial aviation?
This was caused by pilot error, plain and simple. It has nothing to do with the airport.
John Richards Pilot error was the cause of the accident, it is a difficult airport to land on and tailwinds where out of the maximum for the aircraft, the captain should have reconsidered his approach
I'm Honduran and I agree. Most flights avoid this airport, and most hondurans do too.
23 seconds in and I have to say the way you edit this is truly captivating and emotional. Sensational work!
Scout04 Thanks a lot man! 😊😊
This airport is a death trap
They should take only small planes
Exatly
M K I think it’s changing to that not sure but ik there intending to build a new international airport close to there
I guess an international committee should strip the UN of some of their parking ticket money and buy that airport some updated approach gear and better radar, you think??
R.I.P I agree
need to sleep but I can't. these videos are too addictive😁😁
During 1990s and 2000s I flew a lot through Central America and I can say I had my moments. Landing at Tocontín always worried me a lot. In 2007 the hillside just before the threshold was bulldozed , it improved a lot the landing on runway 02. Thank you and keep posting more videos.
You have no idea how patiently we wait for these videos! Keep up the hard work!
Ho!
"However the Plane was not slowing down." Ugh! My heart sank at that moment. Look , before any changes were made to this airport after the crash I had flown into and out of that airport 4 times. Already, as a mere passenger , word was given to me that this was one of the most dangerous airports in the world. Mountains, short runway, weather conditions often iffy, etc. NONE of those 4 instances I experienced went totally smoothly and I always felt grateful once I was rid of the tension involved in having to go into or out of that particular Honduras airport!
Mad respect for the Captain who tried his best till end and yet lost his precious life
These are always so well made! I don't think the people who dislike these videos take in consideration, or think about the time and effort put in to these videos.
I agree, the graphics are impeccable and everything is very well explained
true
I am pretty sure we all know what a difficult task it is to be PIC of a TH-cam channel.
Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for finding out the underlying reason for a crash and explaining it so very well!!
This channel is incredible.
So, be safe flying this channel, make sure you keep an eye on the weather, and never be afraid to go around several times.
Best Regards!!
You can only go around twice,if you miss the 3rd attempt you have to go to your “alternate” airport
Once they landed I was like "yay they made it"
then...
Adding the actual ATC and FO conversations written and translated added surreal realism into this video. I've binged watched a lot of your videos, but this one was especially emotional after hearing their joyful conversations :( well done.
You gave the "Official" reasons for this accident but you missed one... Pressure from the airlines!!! These pilots are under a tremendous amount of pressure to get to their destination on time using the absolute least amount of fuel possible!!! Not saying it's the airlines fault mind you, just saying that these folks are under a lot of pressure... Excellent video sir, always appreciate how much effort you put into these videos!!! Thank you :-)
Yeah I was wondering why they would even plan the route like this. Even in perfect conditions the plane was barely within limits and the airline must've known this, why would they tempt fate having heavy airplanes make a stop at that airport before flying to Miami? Especially when there's a safer airport close enough to still service Honduran passengers.
Absolutely agree. An accident is never down to only one reason. This runway is too short for an A320. So why plan to go there at max weight? Then add in wet runway and tailwind. Yes, the captain is ultimately to blame, but he is just the last link in a long chain of events that put him in this position. 😡😡😡
As a commercial pilot working for a big Irish company I have never ever felt the pressure related to Fuel or destination! saving 450 dollars of fuel is not worth anybodies safety. It is different down in south america but then still Iwould rather lose my job and do the right thing than that! Dont forget that!
True that. A pilot landing at an alternate airport can expect a real chewing out from the airline managers.
I heard there is an Indian Airline operating today that forces its Pilots to Land with the Maximum Flaps (shortest landing possible) to save about 10 Kilos of Fuel per Landing... That's just a Tragedy waiting to Happen.
I remember this accident as well because my ex was stationed in Honduras at the time. He said he hated having to fly there!! He said that there's an X on the runway where the plane has to touch down directly on it, or they have to go around. He said it's no longer than the average sideway/block. It's sad because the pilots felt that it wasn't going to work 😔😔

Maybe they should’ve thought about building a proper airport in a more suitable location so people are not at such a high risk of dying, Every time they land or take off from that airport.
Which is constructed first, though: airport or city? You have a point if it is the latter. If it is the former, who had the bright idea of allowing such development at such close proximity?

I love the extras such as the sounds of passengers boarding. You're very impressive.
Watching this again (now I have Tegucigalpa on my airport black-list) I cannot by thank TheFlightChannel for the detailed aftermath you always provide us with. I am chiefly interested in "why could this happen?" and you always deliver. Even updating your clips when new data comes around. I commend you for your exactitude!!!
Nicely and slickly produced video. In 1976, I flew a TACA 737 from San Jose, Costa Rica to New Orleans via "The Goose" and Belize as a passenger. I remember looking out the window as we made the approach and looking *up* at hill tops as we flew by. The landing was a little noisy as every possible breaking facility was used. But where things got a little more interesting was during the take off. As the 737 was climbing out, I heard a bang and felt a bump throughout the aircraft. Thereafter, a most nauseating smell filled the cabin. A Boeing tech was in the seat in front of me. He turned around and said "Damn buzzard! They get sucked in two or three times a month. Don't worry. This plane can take it!" I felt reassured, but still hated the smell. So watch out for the buzzards of Tegucigalpa!
grommy1234 Oh man I’m gagging just trying to imagine that smell! How long was the flight?
You can't make this stuff up!
Jeez.
@grommy1234 wow mn your name is near to my name i am gamer1234 and you are grommy1234
But if you could it might be titled "The Buzzards of Tegucigalpa", a cheap airport gift shop paperback, chuckle!
Its friday, a new video just came out. Before watching it i like because i know its quality content. Thank you for this awesome work
imagine you are flying and you hear that piano music coming on in the cabin. i would be utterly terrified
That is not a landing strip, that is looks a basketball court :(
Ur dumb
as always, you are an artist of the senses, yet, factually, a journalist in your hand.

Super start for 2019.
Seems almost real. Even u focused on small details like passengers boarding the aircraft. Hats off to your skills. 👍🏻
I have become a devotee of your channel 😆 You do an amazingly professional view and telling of these Airplane events. And your understanding of the human factor regarding the Airline professionals as well as the passengers is compassionate, and without adding a lurid aspect.. Thank YOU again for your efforts in the telling of this challenging area in both the technical and the humanity points.
I like your sound editing on this, switching from apron to in cabin etc. Smart!
This made me feel bad for the people who might have died in this Crash.
😢😭

A damn tragedy.... I would avoid this airport indefinitely …..
Miss Dunn: Umm, it's *damned 😉
Thank you, Your production is unique. I can imagine it takes a lot of time to investigate and create. Weldon...Congrats..
That approach was a nightmare, just saying...
Thank you for making such a nice video! Keep it up! 💕💕 always love your content
As of today, that airport is flooded. Maybe they should consider abandoning that death trap. 😭
I was almost ready to fly again, until I found this channel!
You face far more danger on the freeways every day than in airline flight.
@@scottfranco1962
It might be logical for you, but for me it's non logical fear and I don't think that planes are not safe. But my brain can't handle the fact that I am at 38000 ft in a box
@@redone729 As long as you realize that it is irrational. I face this every day being a light airplane pilot. People think I am a crazy daredevil for flying a light airplane, and yet they think nothing about driving 70 miles an hour only a yard (meter) or two away from other cars at the same speed in the opposite direction (for those good at math, its 140 mph closing speed).
Are light aircraft dangerous? Studying the statistics, their are far fewer accidents per mile in light aircraft, but those accidents tend to be more deadly. Impacts with the ground are not forgiving. However, any reading of statistics also show that the accident rate is mostly up to the pilot: he/she can be safe, or not safe, depending on those few inches of matter between the ears. Even impacting the ground is a highly survivable event. Light airplanes can slow down to freeway speeds (60mph), which is a very survivable crash speed, even if hitting objects on the ground (in fact, even less injuries would result if aircraft followed the same crash survivability standards as cars, with airbags and body parts designed to crush and save the occupants).
Hamzeh Sabbagh - there are over 36 MILLION commercial Flights a year (3 Million a Month!) and in the past 70 years of Modern Aviation, only a few thousand Crashes. You are more likely to be struck by Lighting than to die in a Plane Crash.
You could either attend a course that address pteromerhanophobia, or watch video from pilot TH-camrs. The words of a pilot might be more assuring for you. Here is one example:

Thank you so much for your dedication in making these videos. Prayers to all the love ones that died. Shalom
Discovered your channel recently, great content, when I was a kid I always watched Mayday in National Geographic Channel, got a question, are you planning to cover KAL 007 or the Iran Air 665?
the Tegus airport...where pilots literally had to drop down out of the mountains, a hard turn, and onto the runway. Flew in there in 1990 on Take A Chance Airlines (TACA). Thats what they called it before this crash! Grateful we made it with no issues.
Once again, a commendation to you for having provided a concise summary of the full official review of the crash. Essentially, the aircraft was overweight, and attempted landing with a wet runway, pushed by a tailwind twice the allowable speed, and a forced landing past the first taxiway entrance. It is simply amazing more people were not killed. That the pilot forced a landing under these conditions-- though he considered a San Pedro alternate-- is a measure of how much pressure pilots face to perform normal operations under abnormal conditions.
I very liked your video every videos uploaded.Thanks for your hardwork to make this video.And thanks for 4K Video,this is make the video is very realistic.Good job! Create more video accidents like this.I wish you to reach 1 million subscribers on youtube.Good luck👍

I remember like it happened today. One of the ground fatalities was a nephew of my wife. He was running an errand for his mother for a construction they had and was going to buy cement. One of the passengers too was a friend of ours. He managed to get out of the plane but suffered a heart attack once sitting in the curb. 😔 May they all rest in peace.
was the nephew in a car ?

As a flight simmer myself, I'm impressed with the technical aptitude and piloting chops it took to make this video. Your landing was good and made made me wonder, if they did it that well, where could they have gone wrong? Only the aircraft weight and weather make me believe it.
Descansa en paz, capitán, pasajeros y automovilistas en tierra. Sentimos tu pérdida y te extrañamos.
I've been to Tegucigalpa quite a few times and yes, I've flown with Taca, too. Didn't know that this airport is that dangerous until I get back to Japan and got the info. For the next time I would go there by bus from the neighbor country... this is pretty scary.

Speaking from experience of going to this airport many times, it's honestly kind of nerve racking to fly here. I'm glad they're building a new international airport even though it's a farther drive from the town I usually go to.

I’m Australian. Years ago, when I was young and single and thought I was invincible, I did some dangerous things. One of them included landing at this airport, safely obviously. I can remember thinking how beautiful the mountains were,etc……..never entered my head to think of any danger.
It reminds me so much of going into Guantanamo Bay. You have a really sharp bank before the Cuban air space and mountains...it’s nerve-wracking every single time you land there. I’ve personally seen 2 planes crash there and there are so many I’ve heard about. We had a DC-8 crash when the wingtip hit and it was full of perishables. Everyone onboard survived (cargo flight) but the loadmaster lost a couple of limbs, sadly. We were picking up rotten tomatoes and lettuce for over 2 months.
Great video! every time you get even better, thank you for continuously making the effort to create new videos.
I went on to read a bit about this crash, and found that 2163 metres is the CURRENT length of the runway at Toncontín, after it was extended by 300 m the year after the accident. When TACA 390 crashed, the length was only 1863 metres.
im sorry, but did I just see the approach as: bang a hard left turn, then stop on a super short runway?
That's right.

@TFS Aviation
I would have been very concerned after the first missed approach considering the obvious conditions they were in, heck I would have liked to go up to the cockpit door and ask the captain to divert to San Pedro myself. I would have and I am no pilot.
Hello! I'm honduran and I get terrorized as well. We're a very catholic population so we pray when making a landing/taking off from Tegucigalpa
That turn looked no good in the thumbnail so I knew this was gonna be bad also love that new atc thing
While living in Belize City for several years in the late 50's and early 60's I had the opportunity to fly into and out of Toncontin Airport thirteen times. Six flights were on commercial aircraft and seven flights on private aircraft. They were all interesting flights.
Thank you Flight Channel for your sheer dedication in making these videos. Thank you again!

Hats off to the programmers who made the creation of such a video possible. The mapping of the livery to the plane, the weather, the realistic view out the pilot's window etc. etc. are all gigantically impressive to me, a would-be software engineer.
...and of course, hats off to the creators of this channel, for using such software to create such an informative and realistic result.
I'm a new subscriber to this channel, btw.

Pray For Those who Got crash😭😭 #PrayForA320
Oh the runway was so hard to find! That’s insane im making sure i don’t go over there when booking a flight
Yes I was going to go there. Now im going to do an airport assessment of every flight I take
DS Analysis seriously 😂
@Issa TH-cam Channel
Yes, when they were approaching I literally could not see it clearly BOTH times they approached.
@@dsanalysis5013 You might be better off making an assessment of the type of aircraft going there. A smaller aircraft with a shorter landing requirement could be a better solution...or, just don't fly there.
Hence why it is one of the hardest to approach...
EXCELLENT mini movies with all the moves- beautiful angles ,intros ,music etc WELL DONE ( 1 problem - theyre addictive!)
every video in this channel is amazing. properly done. brings tears to my eyes. thank you for making such awesome videos.
