Very cool but camera man please the next time you're in a plane crash please be mindful of your microphone making so much noise. It was very distracting to the viewer
Never inflate a life jacket INSIDE the plane but always when exiting. If the water goes inside the cabin meaning the plane is drownng, and you have your life vest, then you will go up and will be unable to exit the plane.
The guy that swam to land after the crash is a beast..not only did he swim to land, but according to his written statement..he said that he stayed in the plane and made sure everyone got out and had vests before swimming away. Must have been a hard swim with balls that big!
@StarGolem "On December 11, 2013, about 1522 Hawaiian standard time, a Cessna 208B, N687MA, was destroyed following a loss of engine power and ditching into the Pacific Ocean near Kalaupapa, Hawaii. One passenger was fatally injured, the airline transport pilot and two passengers were seriously injured, and five passengers received minor injuries." Taken from the description of the video
For how fast it looks like it was going that landing was the best case scenario. I would have expected it to be blown to smithereens but it stayed mostly intact.
@@sean5910 I realize that, but from looking outside, the critical angle of attack was definitely not exceeded. The plane was going slow over the water because that's what almost all aircraft manufacturers recommend during a ditching procedure.
Id be recording that shit too if i had one 😅😂 once in a lifetime kinda catastrophe. I woulda been thinking “Maybe someone will find this and make another youtube video”
For fuck sake, it was fine filming the crash but then getting in the way of others trying to fucking escape boiled my blood thanks to him trying to hold on to the camera and trying to capture shit... he could have killed many people because of his stupid camera.

@@owenjc9132 I’ve seen much worse ditchings, it was an amazing landing the plane didn’t even roll over , they landed in one piece , that all sounds like the pilot did the best he could
Honestly, fucking mad respect to everyone involved here. First of all, the pilot managed to bring the plane down without destroying it or the people inside. The passengers never panicked... like at all. Cool as a bloody cucumber. After the impact they acted swiftly, grabbed their life jackets, and evacuated in a completely civil manner, and my boy even managed to film the entire thing. These passengers deserve some kind of award. GOAT status right there. Literally with a different group of people this could have looked completely different.
They were screaming their heads off. How could you not know the audio track has been manipulated to nearly completely elliminate voices while the high frequencies have been amplified.
Lucky for them it was warm water, AND they're within easy reach of the coastline, AND the pilot was able to ditch successfully. All together, a small miracle in a situation that had the potential to go a whole lot worse. Oh, and someone on board had a GoPro AND camera skills like a boss.
"Tried to swim for cooler I saw, but wind and current too strong and cooler went!" He knew the beer was key to survival if no one came to find them. Hats off to that Captain.
Austin Henning Because it’s too expensive to keep coast guard cutters all around Hawaii. They usually station the boats offshore near popular beaches, not in open water like this.
Nice to see, there was probably little danger in the warm waters, it look like everyone for themselves. No organization, they should have stayed close, someone who could swim should have been cleanup because the math says there are non-swimmers on that plane.
Shame that it kinda turned into "every man for themselves" once they started trying to swim to shore. It's unfortunate no one made at least some kind of attempt to keep everyone together to be sure no one was struggling or falling behind. It's also not uncommon that small planes like that can stay partially afloat for several hours or more after crashing. So it's even more of a shame that no one (in particular the pilot) encouraged everyone to stay hanging onto the plane with 2 people on each wing and a person each hanging on to each smaller tail wing until they were either sure it was about to sink or help arrived. Judging by that photos taken from a rescue/recon plane that flew over and the recovered fusillade, it would seem the aircraft did in fact stay afloat. All this only serves to say that - everyone could've gone home that day and it's a painful tragedy that someone had to lose their life in that situation. Look out for each other people.
Come on, it's a plane crash ! You're speculating from your fooking tea room, try to imagine to be in a tiny place getting full of water with people scared
its because they all have money, or all are quite wealthy... saying that to say they were all dickheads, meaning they could careless about the next individual no matter what situation they were... Yea ikno the truth hurts
“We could always just swim back, it ain’t that far” “No. Its probably best to stick together and let the rescue team find us, they know where the plane went down” “Man, we’ll be on land before they get here though” “No way dude, you’re not that good a swimmer” “Bet...”
My biggest fear is being in a plane. Because I can’t control being up there. I’ve been saying I want to take the course to be able to fly. After this NO WAY
Always Amazes me how absolutely Quiet and Calm these people were during this crash...Makes me assume maybe the Pilot calmed them down and told them not to worry and they will be Safe during the Crash landing into water
@@apachedown9 The plane hit the water about 3:00 in and the last clear shot of the back of the plane is still well out of the water by 10:50 and at 18:15 a picture was taken of the plane, tail still out of the water, presumably even after the passengers were rescued
They should of stayed with the plane until it sank imo. Only a fit, elite swimmer should attempt to swim in the open ocean considering distances and rip currents!
I am amazed at the silence of the survivors. No screaming, no yelling. Just a bunch of passengers in the ocean trying to stay alive. This is remarkable footage. Do it again.
@@RandomNumber141 Even though you can hear the water and waves splashing and the man talking about swimming to shore. I doubt it would keep screaming down. Also the people were not acting panicked. Why? They knew they were ditching in the ocean. They are the calmest people I have ever seen. No crying, yelling. Just silence.
If engine maintenance had been performed, this single engine would have been fine. Twin engines just mean the slimy bean-counters running the company can pull this sht on BOTH engines.
@@SarahSmilez8100 Planned? It's would have been in perfect working order if the planned it. How do you think they were going to get away with the engineering records and maintenance records
Or you couldn't figure out how at the very least to roll on your back and keep calm and kick to shore while the current pushes you there...the land was RIGHT THERE
@@justmissjamey I'm a mariner and have lost many friends, who were, like all mariners trained in survival. Saying the land was right there means nothing, I knew a guy who drowned and didn't make it because he decided to "let go" even though the chopper was just hovering him, so he was nearly out. Its quite tricky to just lie on your back in open water, because you keep swallowing water which I guess is scary if you know nothing about the sea, and we're just in a plane crash.
There's no panic no screaming or yelling, this is actually very peaceful sounding. I just found my new bedtime soothing sounds. Between the narrator and the water sounds. Very calming and peaceful. Rip to those that passed away from this tragedy.
Pro Tip: You can use your lungs as a life jacket in case the life jacket isn't working for you. For as long as you can stay awake, that is. 1) Float on your back 2) take as deep a breath as you can. Your torso will now rise towards the surface 3) now breathe as necessary, but breathe extremely shallowly. Leave most of the air in your lungs at all times. The air in your lungs is now creating enough buoyancy for you to float without the need to waste energy treading water. This allows you to calm down and breathe more slowly/shallowly. I don't know how heavy you need to be for this _not_ to work, but I have practiced this technique successfully several times and I'm 210 lbs. Floating on the surface without treading water and without swallowing water. I think you could probably be materially heavier and it would still work. But yeah I'm sure there are some people who are so heavy, this will not work. Just keep it in the back of your head in case your life jacket is too small when your plane touches down in the water ;)
Yes, my dad was an excellent swimmer and taught me this. He also showed me methods for treading water when you get tired by only swimming with one arm, letting the other rest.. Also if someone is panicking because they don't know how to swim dont try to hug them but instead stick out your foot. A panicking person can drag you down by trying to stay afloat themselves. Lay on your back and let them hold your legs instead, so that your arms are free at all times. Atleast until they calm down.
The fatter a person is the easier it is to float, think of it as a blubbery mass that has buoyance. The more muscular and lean you are the harder it is to float, you're like a heavy rock.
I'm only 155 pounds and have always found it difficult to float. It's definately not as difficult in salt water but I still can't last very long. A lot of people that survive in the ocean for long periods of time are overweight and can float easier
I love how nobody preps for the water or grabs their life vest until the plane is already sinking... Didn't see a single person making arrangements to evacuate the plane until it was in the water
Sawyer Tilley this is absolutely ill preparation. Panic makes people act weird, but it doesn’t make this many people react in exactly the same way like this. They’re all looking forward to their pilot, and they’re mirroring him. He’s silent, obviously he’s concentrating... but they seem like they literally don’t know what else to do. I get that he needs to fly the plane and concentrate, but he didn’t even yell one “BRACE!” before impact, let alone something like “life jackets, seat pockets! DO NOT inflate inside plane! BRACE!” He could’ve yelled that in about 5 seconds anytime after he realized they might be going down in water. This does NOT make sense to me. I was able to yell more instructions to my passengers during a high speed car accident as a teenager, and I didn’t have hours and hours of training drilled in my head. He could’ve done SOMETHING. I’m a little angry about that (clearly), but I will definitely say this for him: no safety instructions would’ve even remotely mattered if his flying wasn’t so very well done. But he easily could’ve (and should’ve) done both.
He had 16,000 total flight hours in Boeing 737's, 777's and multiple small aircrafts. He definitely was experienced. The mistake here was the engine on the plane was suppose to be overhauled/rebuilt from my understanding of what I read. It had gone passed the manufacturers recommended limit of use.
PCPofficial that airplane hit the water fully or very close to stalled, almost no forward momentum. That horn went on for a while. That means he was not correcting by lowering the aoa. He should have dropped the nose to gain more speed and initiate a flare close to the water.
@@AMCguy probably panic is a factor too. When they realize they aren't getting closer to the shore, they push more and more, ending up getting cramps or something.
Yep, I love videos like this. Channel "What You Haven't seen" does something similar: th-cam.com/channels/UZ8u8rXpOwr73krPO9UYpQ.html - publishing original footage from events like this with extensive additional information given.
I wouldn't have waited until impact before trying to find my life jacket pack... I would have that on my lap ready to go as soon as I heard that first warning buzzer!
Hell yea that's what I said you damn well see that plane fitna hit sea and it ain't a sea plane I'm having the jacket snorkel and all on before the water!!
You are not suppose to put on inflated life vest before hitting water. If water rushes in you could get stuck. You could however put it on and not inflate it.
He probably was a surfer or a seaman , that’s honestly one of the safest things to do in that situation if the current permits , rather than just randomly drift and get swept out further
@@gunther_hermann How far away it is from shore? 2-3km? I have shit cardio and I could propably made it without vest. Just make stops every few minutes to get more oxygen and give muscles a rest
Regarding the fatally injured passenger: The autopsy of the passenger did not reveal any significant traumatic injuries, and the autopsy report noted that her cause of death was “acute cardiac arrhythmia due to hyperventilation.” So the crash didn't kill her directly, rather caused a secondary issue that claimed her life.
It's very important that you always listen to instructions and the demonstrations during the safety briefing. When planes ditch over water as a result of an emergency, your first instinct will be to take your life jacket and inflate it for safety. But please DO NOT inflate it until you are outside the plane. reason: Water could get into the plane and you could have a hard time getting out because you will be floating in the water while the plane is filling up with water. When you try to go under the water to reach the exit,it WONT be possible because A life jacket makes you float. You may die in the plane if your life Jacket is inflated before you exit. ONLY inflate your life jacket only when you are out of the plane.Thanks
Fairs . But isnt it risky jumping in the water and doing it because it's freezing cold . U might as well do quickly do it then jump out so your ready . I'm sure water doesn't fill up that quickly if u can tell ?
@@samexelby8715 You can do it before jumping out. But its advisable to do it when you know you are at the exit and can safely get out. Doing it anytime before you get out can get it punctured by any sharp metal in the plane. And if you are not a good swimmer, you could drown easily.Thanks
@@samexelby8715 Water doesn't fill up that quickly in this video. But if you have a bigger passenger plane with eveyone scrambling for safety and the exit, you wouldnt want to inflate your life jacket while you are still inside the plane.Only do do when you are closer to the exit and ready to jump out.

After the impact they acted swiftly, grabbed their life jackets, and evacuated in a completely civil manner, and my boy even managed to film the entire thing. These passengers deserve some kind of award. GOAT status right there. Literally with a different group of people this could have looked completely different.
They were screaming their heads off. How could you not know the audio track has been manipulated to nearly completely elliminate voices while the high frequencies have been amplified.
Why didn't Morgan Freedman get credit for this narration on IMDB?
Totally my first thought. I guess this was the sequel to Shawshank...

What was the temp of the water?

Nice to see, there was probably little danger in the warm waters, it look like everyone for themselves. No organization, they should have stayed close, someone who could swim should have been cleanup because the math says there are non-swimmers on that plane.
The life vests are inflatable and stored in the seat backs.
@@LarsLarsen77 one of vests was infant-size.

If you had watched the video, you would know that the pilot did try to keep everyone together, but the strong current separated them.
İBRAHİM ETHEM KAYIKCI
Two of the vests were infant sized.
Shame that it kinda turned into "every man for themselves" once they started trying to swim to shore. It's unfortunate no one made at least some kind of attempt to keep everyone together to be sure no one was struggling or falling behind. It's also not uncommon that small planes like that can stay partially afloat for several hours or more after crashing. So it's even more of a shame that no one (in particular the pilot) encouraged everyone to stay hanging onto the plane with 2 people on each wing and a person each hanging on to each smaller tail wing until they were either sure it was about to sink or help arrived. Judging by that photos taken from a rescue/recon plane that flew over and the recovered fusillade, it would seem the aircraft did in fact stay afloat. All this only serves to say that - everyone could've gone home that day and it's a painful tragedy that someone had to lose their life in that situation. Look out for each other people.
Exactly what I tought.
When poop hits the fan I can’t expect everyone to look out for each other. Most humans are like that

Dangerous as the boat can drag you down as it sinks!
It’s dangerous to use life jackets before getting out of the plane.

They should of stayed with the plane until it sank imo. Only a fit, elite swimmer should attempt to swim in the open ocean considering distances and rip currents!
I am amazed at the silence of the survivors. No screaming, no yelling. Just a bunch of passengers in the ocean trying to stay alive. This is remarkable footage. Do it again.

Or you couldn't figure out how at the very least to roll on your back and keep calm and kick to shore while the current pushes you there...the land was RIGHT THERE
@@justmissjamey I'm a mariner and have lost many friends, who were, like all mariners trained in survival. Saying the land was right there means nothing, I knew a guy who drowned and didn't make it because he decided to "let go" even though the chopper was just hovering him, so he was nearly out. Its quite tricky to just lie on your back in open water, because you keep swallowing water which I guess is scary if you know nothing about the sea, and we're just in a plane crash.
When he bought the action camera he wasn't looking for _that_ much action.
There's no panic no screaming or yelling, this is actually very peaceful sounding. I just found my new bedtime soothing sounds. Between the narrator and the water sounds. Very calming and peaceful. Rip to those that passed away from this tragedy.

Look around to see who may be injured and send them out first?
Pro Tip: You can use your lungs as a life jacket in case the life jacket isn't working for you. For as long as you can stay awake, that is. 1) Float on your back 2) take as deep a breath as you can. Your torso will now rise towards the surface 3) now breathe as necessary, but breathe extremely shallowly. Leave most of the air in your lungs at all times. The air in your lungs is now creating enough buoyancy for you to float without the need to waste energy treading water. This allows you to calm down and breathe more slowly/shallowly.
I don't know how heavy you need to be for this _not_ to work, but I have practiced this technique successfully several times and I'm 210 lbs. Floating on the surface without treading water and without swallowing water. I think you could probably be materially heavier and it would still work. But yeah I'm sure there are some people who are so heavy, this will not work. Just keep it in the back of your head in case your life jacket is too small when your plane touches down in the water ;)
Or be super fat.
Yes, my dad was an excellent swimmer and taught me this. He also showed me methods for treading water when you get tired by only swimming with one arm, letting the other rest.. Also if someone is panicking because they don't know how to swim dont try to hug them but instead stick out your foot. A panicking person can drag you down by trying to stay afloat themselves. Lay on your back and let them hold your legs instead, so that your arms are free at all times. Atleast until they calm down.
not even accounting for saltwater buoyancy, very effective technique
The fatter a person is the easier it is to float, think of it as a blubbery mass that has buoyance. The more muscular and lean you are the harder it is to float, you're like a heavy rock.
I'm only 155 pounds and have always found it difficult to float. It's definately not as difficult in salt water but I still can't last very long. A lot of people that survive in the ocean for long periods of time are overweight and can float easier
The Morgan freeman narration is comforting.
Thank you.
I love how nobody preps for the water or grabs their life vest until the plane is already sinking... Didn't see a single person making arrangements to evacuate the plane until it was in the water
Very strange!
Panic makes people act weird.
Sawyer Tilley this is absolutely ill preparation. Panic makes people act weird, but it doesn’t make this many people react in exactly the same way like this. They’re all looking forward to their pilot, and they’re mirroring him. He’s silent, obviously he’s concentrating... but they seem like they literally don’t know what else to do.
I get that he needs to fly the plane and concentrate, but he didn’t even yell one “BRACE!” before impact, let alone something like “life jackets, seat pockets! DO NOT inflate inside plane! BRACE!” He could’ve yelled that in about 5 seconds anytime after he realized they might be going down in water.
This does NOT make sense to me. I was able to yell more instructions to my passengers during a high speed car accident as a teenager, and I didn’t have hours and hours of training drilled in my head. He could’ve done SOMETHING.
I’m a little angry about that (clearly), but I will definitely say this for him: no safety instructions would’ve even remotely mattered if his flying wasn’t so very well done. But he easily could’ve (and should’ve) done both.

You are not suppose to put on inflated life vest before hitting water. If water rushes in you could get stuck. You could however put it on and not inflate it.

Regarding the fatally injured passenger: The autopsy of the passenger did not reveal any significant traumatic injuries, and the autopsy report noted that her cause of death was “acute cardiac arrhythmia due to hyperventilation.” So the crash didn't kill her directly, rather caused a secondary issue that claimed her life.

It's very important that you always listen to instructions and the demonstrations during the safety briefing. When planes ditch over water as a result of an emergency, your first instinct will be to take your life jacket and inflate it for safety. But please DO NOT inflate it until you are outside the plane.
reason: Water could get into the plane and you could have a hard time getting out because you will be floating in the water while the plane is filling up with water. When you try to go under the water to reach the exit,it WONT be possible because A life jacket makes you float. You may die in the plane if your life Jacket is inflated before you exit.
ONLY inflate your life jacket only when you are out of the plane.Thanks
Fairs . But isnt it risky jumping in the water and doing it because it's freezing cold . U might as well do quickly do it then jump out so your ready . I'm sure water doesn't fill up that quickly if u can tell ?
@@samexelby8715 You can do it before jumping out. But its advisable to do it when you know you are at the exit and can safely get out. Doing it anytime before you get out can get it punctured by any sharp metal in the plane. And if you are not a good swimmer, you could drown easily.Thanks
