What a great evacuation performance!
My daughter is a Delta Flight attendant. 6 weeks of intense training and about 90% is all safety related.
Great animation. This is improvement 💯💯💯👍
Agree. Everybody acted as a team, including passengers, which is quite rare to see nowadays. No luggage, no chaotic running around, no stepping on each other's toes...
Didn't see any passengers carrying their baggage 👏🏻👏🏻
@@andreea007 How do you know?
Nobody carrying cabin bags? Top job cabin crew!
Sometimes I feel like people think bag are more important than life. Indeed great job this time. 1 person getting a bag from the overhead could be the reason 1 people loses their life.
Cabin crew should never have allowed this in first place. But there is more awareness now
Sorry, where I go, I'm taking my meds with me. I can live without underwear for days, but you try finding random pharmaceuticals in a strange city after midnight on a weekend. And different countries have different rules on what chemicals are legal, so there's no guarantee that even a prescription and an open pharmacy will suffice.
If it makes you feel better, this bag is never in an overhead bin.
@@icollectstories5702 as long as it’s not in the overhead it’s fine. You can just grab from seat and run but the overhead is a no go
@@icollectstories5702I think it's a good call for medications and other essential items like that to be readily available (ie. not in the overhead) in the case of an emergency. The important part is no delay in evacuation.
"You're on fire" ..... "Okay, thank you!" ..... not too many other areas of life where you would hear this particular interaction.
Only in competitive sport.
Right? I appreciate their calm professional tone, but it's also kind of disconcerting how matter-of-fact they are.
Just another day and another landing gear fire in ATL. 🤯
@@kareninalabama In an emergency you deal with it. There's plenty of time for panic later.
Tower: "Yes, sir, still see flames"
Pilot: "Okay, very good"
🔥🔥🔥
Spicy response
I'm just gonna go get some steak for bbq, be right back.
"very good" as in that helps the pilot decision while maybe being in doubt to evacuate or not. Knowing there always are minor injuries (old people going down a glide slope) he wants to be sure it is needed. Actual flames still going on make the decision easier. I think that is the "very good" reaction.
The other pilot calling in a checkpoint BURNY was great timing.
First time I’ve heard a tower seemingly trying to tell a pilot to evacuate without actually saying it.
When I went through paramedic school the skills examiners would always ask "and are there any other things you'd like to check right now?" In that exact same tone as the tower controller.
From what I understand, controllers can't really tell pilots what to do. They can make strong suggestions and ask leading questions, but the pilot has to say the magic words. Look at a number of GA and even airline incidents on this channel where the pilots are dithering about declaring an emergency, and the controllers are trying to get them to, so they can help.
@@AN-12345haha, I’ve absolutely heard that from an NREMT examiner, usually followed shortly by “shit, scene safety” or “I check for a pulse?”
@@NoewerrATall ATC can declare an emergency for an aircraft. They cannot, however, order the aircraft to evacuate. The flight crew needs to examine the situation and make sure the evacuation is safe before making that call. Don't want the FA's to pop a door only for the slide to get ingested into a jet engine! Nor do they want them to open a door on the potentially-burning side of the aircraft (both due to the potential for encountering fire and also due to people getting in the way of ARFF.) Ultimately, the Pilot-in-Command has final authority to do whatever needs to be done to maintain safety.
@@vbscript2 Yes they can, in some situations. But to be able to really help in most situations, the PIC needs to declare.
Hey, I speak Southern! At 1:25 what she said roughly translates to "you better get off that damn plane"
ATC: "Hey, uh, your plane is on fire..... Do you want to do anything about that?"
Love her gentle way of expressing concern. 😂
Nice to see people actually know how to evacuate and aren't taking their personal belongings with them.
That part was probably edited out 😂
They since installed automatic overhead bin locks when emergency egress is required.
Wil that help people just start to try to break them open. Trapping people still
It’s cause it was delta and not spirit or southwest …. Different clientele 😅
@@randomsanwhich2 Is that a joke or?...
the fact that the next pilot was cleared through "Burny" had me laughing
It's always fascinating to watch a well oiled team during an emergency. Everyone from the tower to emergency personnel and those on board acting quickly and decisively
hardly well oiled
Now THATS how you do it. Not one passenger with a bag, and passengers helping others get up from the slides and move over to the rally point.
“Yes sir, we still see flames”
“Okay very good”
10/10 normal human communication
If only it was in an aristocratic British accent...
The Dan lebatard response
"very good" as in that helps the pilot decision while maybe being in doubt to evacuate or not. Knowing there always are minor injuries (old people going down a glide slope) he wants to be sure it is needed. Actual flames still going on make the disicion easier. I think that is the "very good" reaction.
That last transmission from the captain give me chills
He made sure EVERYONE was off then himself last. Great job Captain. Much respect.
Why?
Man up😂
He did seem understandably moved. Still, he's so professional I almost expected him to request tower to send a tow truck...
Me too! Brought a tear to my eye.
I was on this flight. I exited via the rear slide. The entire Delta crew was fantastic, as well as the rescue team. Calm and collected, they got everybody out safely. (I was in 41E). It DID take about 5 hours to get our luggage off the plane.
We landed hard, then bounced up and landed again and quickly slid to a stop.
So, can I say “I survived a plane crash”??
That was an unstable approach a commercial plane should not bounce on landing to fast and you are right that was a crash that did not end up worse. To fast or steep.
You sirvived an incedent :) nice, it was not very serious
You can say you went down the emergency escape slides which is good enough bragging rights at the pub
Naaah, its not a "crash" unless a part of the plane other than the wheels strikes the ground or something else. Maybe if you'd quickly flicked a pebble at the plane while you were evacuating, then technically it was a crash?
Thanks for the comment on luggage, that was my question, I wandered if you would ever get your stuff back especially unmarked carryon luggage.
Great to see the passengers evacuating WITHOUT THEIR HAND LUGGAGE. That probably means the cabin crew did a good job of briefing the evacuation and the passengers actually listened. Well done to all.
Yep! I saw a video someone shot from inside the aircraft and the flight attendants were repeating for everyone to leave everything, come towards the exits, and jump down the slide. Great job by the FAs (and also good on the pax for listening for a change!)
Better than average job by everyone but an excellent job by the controller, absolutely unflappable. As a former ATC'er I can assure you the tower cab gets really busy during an event like this. Multiple radios are barking and it's the controller's job to prioritize actions taken. Did you notice she declared the emergency well before the aircrew? This is a duty of a controller when it becomes obvious as it saves time.
Got to go with 7 battalion from Atlanta fire rescue they were on point during this incident
What an incredibly professional Air Traffic Controller. She handled this so well. Major props to all emergency ops crew and flight and crew cabin to follow procedure!
She was awful. Said the number 1 gear was on fire then said it was the right side.
Well executed evacuation. Great job on the pax for leaving bags. I won't be second guessing the decision to evacuate, that's the reason the captain gets paid for making those decisions.
Agree and wanted to add that I was impressed how passengers were staying at the bottom of the slide to help others out and speed movement off the slide and away from the plane
Flames can spread and the captain was well aware of how much fuel was still onboard. Better safe than sorry.
Only one injury. Bravo to the flight crew.
"How many souls on board?'
"98, now 96, now 93 . . . . now just me."
2:05 LOL Hilarious to hear that approach fix is called BURNY! 😂
Are we talking about an emergency? ‘Cause everybody is so calm on the frequency! That’s very impressive and it shows how an emergency situation should be dealt every time. Good job !
Delta 1437: My landing gear brings all the boys to the yard
Amazing job by everyone. And it was good to see pax not trying to bring their carry-ones down the slides
I would say most pax grabbed their belongings but at the exit one or two flight attendants, holding a baseball bat in their hands, told them 'drop your bags before jumping or else!!'
Good situational awareness are shown by the crew waiting to takeoff on 9L and the crew approaching 9R. The latter clearly wanted to remind the ATC that she may want him go around.
With a pending evacuation, I was sort of surprised Tower didn't send the aircraft for 9R around instantly.
Love that ATL fire chief. Just so chill and always in control. Great job, of course, by the super professional crew and ATC.
@@dethray1000I thought she said number 1, which would be left
Everyone was so professional and remained so very calm the entire time. The landing gear is on fire and by the demeanor of the captain and tower it sounded like it could have been a routine situation. And props for the captain on making sure all passengers and crew were off before evacuating himself and taking a moment to pick back up the headset after I assume checking the cabin personally and ordering the first officer to evacuate (I assume they were the second to last off) to tell tower that everyone was off and that he was about to evacuate himself.
It was cool to hear the ARFF chief's orders to his trucks and directing them all where to go to ensure the passengers were able to evacuate safely and get them to a safe area away from the fire and away from where vehicles would be traveling.
The FO is one of the first off at Delta to help with passengers on the ground. You can see her in the video walking around confused… She was the one who caused the problem in the first place and was still coming down from that…
A reminder to people watching this video that "very good" can be used as an old-fashioned way of saying "understood" or "got it"...I promise nobody involved is celebrating the airplane being on fire.
The captain claiming all on board have evacuated and he’s now going to evacuate also. It’s nice to know that heroes still exist. Thanks to you
The best news is no-one evacuating with carry-on. Great job to the PAX and Crew. Well done.
"And your number 1 main gear is on fire." "Okay, thank you."
As in "Thank you for this information as we now know that we might need evacuate and we'll have time to prepare for it so that we can avoid unnecessary injuries".
What an amazing controller! Incredible job.
Another video where we get to hear ATL fire chief! Dude just sounds so chill.
That Captain's heart rate never got about 30 bpm! LOL So cool and collected.
Tower: You're on fire
Captain: cool...
Tower: You're still on fire
Captain: fine, I guess we'll evacuate...
LOL
As a former wheelchair agent, I have to wonder how they'd get an immobile Pax off the plane. No way some of them could slide down even after being removed from their wheelchair
Just speaking for myself, if my fellow seat mate is blind with or without a service animal in this type of situation I'm absolutely going to do the same thing. First thing you ever learn when interacting with a blind person is you don't leave them alone and disoriented without either handing them off to someone or making sure they know where they are and what to do next.
Amazing job by the captain of making sure everyone was off the aircraft and then coming back to let ATC know
Tower lady first pointed out left main gear then slipped her statement on right main gear.😢
Good to know captain vacated from the right side of the aircraft.
Everyone else is praising her but that seems like a significant mistake to me. Choosing the correct side to evacuate is crucial and the captain need accurate information to make the decision
@@kakgary Not everyone listens like a pilot here. Yes indeed captain did a wise decision from the right side.
Bravo ! 👏 Professional, polite, and well coordinated. ATLANTA ATC YOU ROCK ! 😎🤘
Atc fire rescue flight crew cabin crew spend 5000 days to practice a scenario that last only an hour..
Their professionalism made it look so easy.
I think ALL passengers evacuating from an aircraft down the slides should be required to yell "Weeeee".....😂........But seriously glad all are safe
The flight incoming to 9R… on the BURNY arrival 🤣 the irony!
1:38 - "Right". In a slightly different situation, a mixup like this could be disastrous.
I was working that day, though it seems like I already went home for the day, got can see one of the aircraft I work on in the background the DHL A330. I'm glad that everything was ok and no one was injured
"Your number one main gear is on fire"
"okay, thank you"
Lmao so calm 🤣
I almost spit my drink laughing at this. The way he said "thank you".
Calm is the expected result, people that panic lose all capability of making good decisions when dealing with technology of any kind more complex than something like a club or axe.
That was well done it looked almost like a trainunf exercise
wow, blancolirio beat you to the punch on this one.........
nice work, thanks for your time
Yes.
Great job to everyone involved! Calm and orderly!
TWR ATC did a great job organizing, directing and communicating.
Controller was a real pro, kept control of the situation, and helped the pilots make the decision they needed to.
Great job, ATC. She was on point!
She called the fire on the wrong side of the plane
From 900m distance. And she did right the first time
@@VASAviation She correctly Identified it as Main #1 and then 17seconds later identified it as Right Main Gear. The Captain noticed the disconnect, but she did not. Luckily the Captain did not evacuate to the left.
at most other emergencies i side-eye the controllers... this controller is so amazing, she was on point the entire time. yeah, she got confused for a split second once, but that was that, she was amazing.
well, everyone was amazing, but special shoutout to ATC and the crew
Good man, that PIC... got everyone off and then calmly told the tower he the aircraft was clear and he was heading out.
Look at that! No bags in sight! Amazing.
Great video! Can you do United 924? It was a Boeing B767-300 that was bound for London, but shortly after departing Dulles Airport the gear malfunctioned, wouldn't go up, so they circled around for a few hours before landing. it took place in the VERY early morning hours of yesterday. 6/3/23. Would love to see a video on an incident in my hometown! Keep up the great work!
Great video! Captain was the last to leave! Awesome!
Awesome editing job! 👍🏼
Thanks for the great video VAS! Are all communications in real time, no pauses edited out? Thanks again!
Textbook proper! Applause!
Thank you very much for picking this incident up! It made indeed headlines.
I remember seeing this on flightradar24. I didn't understand what was happening at the time, but it's always good to hear.
Well done!
Textbook! Nicely done!
Very professional approach by all 👌
Props to the controller and pilots for keeping calm throughout the ordeal. I must admit, though, that's a funny name for a waypoint given the condition of the aircraft on the runway!
Good job 👍
Damn fine work by everyone
Interesting to hear perspectives around aviation TH-camr's. Fire is fire, wheel wells or otherwise.
Two places where fire is a deadly enemy: on an aircraft and on a ship.... the captain's of both do not under-estimate the potential of fire, no matter how small.
Good work LC at ATL!
Wow... This is not Delta year, they seem to be in the news alot lately. Glad everyone was ok
On the plus side, unlike most aircraft evacuations via exit slides you see, nobody on board this aircraft was taking their belongings with them, so small improvements are a welcome change.
@@44R0Ndin that is very true. But do you everyone left there belongings behind because it was a domestic flight from Richmond to Atlanta? Say if the was a flight from Atlanta to Paris, I bet most everyone would have grabbed there items. Would you leave behind your carry on bag with your passport on a airplane thats on fire in a different country?
@@mrsolotraveler8808 Since this is a hypothetical where the assumption is that I'm traveling to another country, I'll answer as if I was in fact traveling to another country, despite the fact that I am a US citizen and I'd rather stay here or in Canada (begging and pleading with my parents to move themselves to Canada after they retire, but that's not going anywhere fast).
If I was traveling internationally, I don't have any intention of having my passport in my carry on bag. Instead, it would be in a pocket, on my person directly, the same as my wallet is in my back pocket with my credit card, insurance cards, and ID in it.
I realize not everyone has the option of putting their passport in their pocket, because not everyone has pockets. However, for those people, there are likely still options available to keep important documents on your person without putting them in your carry-on bag.
I also realize that of all people that don't have pockets in their clothing, most of them are women.
IMO there is no reason that is acceptable by current stated societal equality rules that a women should not have pockets in her clothing and a man should have pockets in his clothing. The only feasible reason (and one born out by research) is that men were designing women's clothing and desired "their" women to be weak and helpless, for reasons that I find entirely uncomfortable to describe, but the crux of it is that it involves "Grape without the G", except in a societally acceptable (at the time) form because they got married first or something (the key point is that the men didn't want to have to ask for consent first, and were working actively to make it so that women had no effective physical way of denying consent to a would-be attacker).
I still don't think I understand it fully, and I don't think I want to, but I DO think that I understand it well enough to know that the time for such practices ended when we stopped living in caves, the fact that it is only just recently becoming widely unacceptable is quite disgusting to me.
@@mrsolotraveler8808It's crazy how irrational people can become in extreme situations. In normal circumstances you would say that your life is more important than your passport / ID. Yet when it comes to prove it, you act the opposite way...
Textbook emergency procedure! Excellent ATC and crew!
Job well done by everyone!!!
What is all the commotion, Seven Five ,s drivers, and passengers disembarked without a scratch, testament to the ' Seven Fives ' sound bogie main undercarriage design,. With two rear tyres blown on the left undercarriage bogie, the 'Seven Five 'rolled out and stopped sustaining no further damage.
Thank God everyone is OK. Superb execution of the evacuation procedure by the passengers and crew - adept response by the airport emergency response teams!
2:15
Atc was perfect
Fire schief voice always on point
@1:18 ATL TWR: 'And your number 1 main gear is on fire" DAL 1437: with a nice and cute voice: 'Okay, thank your'. Omg these pilots!💙
My God, WHAT A SHOW OF COORDINATION !
First and Foremost, This Controller Must Be Awarded For Efficiency And Professionalism !
IMPECCABLE PERFORMANCE !
Without a Doubt, Her Performance MUST BE Used as a Standard of Excellence !
She Made All The Difference For a Succesfuly Outcome in a FIRE EMERGENCY !
! ! ! OUTSTANDING ! ! !
! ! ! CONGRATULATIONS ! ! !
Thanks OPS5, now they know they need to close runway 9L. With that airplane on fire and evacuated passengers scattered on the runway, they weren't sure, but now they know.
It’s a miracle that nobody brought any luggage down!! This is a first!!
@@user-pf5xq3lq8i I imagine the crew made sure to yell at anyone who tried until they got the memo. Especially after those incidents the crew likely got extra training on that, too.
Yesterday at Hartsfield Jackson was an absolute disaster for everybody it seems. The plane I was riding in had the roughest descent I've ever experienced, screaming girls and everything, and then just a minute after we landed it seemed they shut the whole airport down due to weather. Wasn't clear if it was just the ramp or the entire airport that closed. Caused absolute chaos at customs too haha
How can I make this about me - Certificate granted.
@@BarryHofland. I am perfectly fine and completely unharmed by this incident. It was obviously not my intention to make this about me. Look up the phrase "small talk" and maybe stop being such an ass.
@@BarryHofland. It's all about how you spin it. You can interpret it as being a "Let's try to get some attention for myself" thing, or you can take it as a "This is what happened to me that I want to share, maybe someone else went thru the same thing I went thru so we can compare notes" thing instead.
It doesn't have to be negative.
Welcome to afternoon thunderstorms in the South in the summer
This is a strange one...
The person to the left of the front slide has a backpack 😅 4:54
Apart from that great work from all involved
Great work by tower!
Just to confirm.. We're allowed to say Weeeee as we slide down the slide.
The flames... are on fire
I wonder if you have any info on flight United flight 924 ..N676UA that was scheduled from Dulles to London on Aug. 3rd had emergency landing back to Dulles after Main right gear problem....and hydraulic leak plane dropped fuel and was flying around Dulles for a little over 4 hours before making the emergency landing...heard significant damage to right main gear door and also the hydraulic leak...passengers disembarked on runway 19L.
Gosh darn it the FO blew a tire🤦🏾♂️
(Everyones safe tho🙏🏾)
Why is it still possible that pilots STILL have no view of the outside of the aircraft?
Kinda of a weird instruction/request of tower when she asked if there was any "emergency procedures you would like to enact at this time?" Kinda of getting a vibe she wanted them to evacuate the plane.
Hey fella. I was on a flight last night from Atlanta to Little Rock on Delta that had to divert back to Atlanta due to blown tire on take off.
Landed at ATL and other tire blew on the runway too. You think you could do a video on that one? Or send me a link for the archived ATC recording? Thanks
Excellent job. For anyone that’s ATC, why in the world would they not roll the trucks immediately after verifying that flames were coming from the landing gear? I can’t remember how many times she kept asking the captain if he wanted any emergency services. Well yah lady, you literally told him it’s on fire. Why would you even hesitate?
Other than that, amazing!
It sounded to me like she had already sent the trucks. She was asking him if he wanted to start any "additional emergency procedures", basically *strongly suggesting* to him to start an evacuation because she can't order him to.
@@tvdan1043Got it. I misunderstood what she was saying.
Honestly, I’m not even mad that she prompted him. She probably saw some pretty serious flames and guessing this wasn’t her first rodeo as far as seeing some flames on landing gear. She may have not known if the captain was newer or not. Better to be safe than sorry.
Thanks for the explanation boss.
It would be fun to slide down the evacuation slide, but it would suck to be separated from my carry-on.
It's only fun to slide down the evacuation slide if you're 1. wearing a long dress or pants or something of that nature that covers most of the skin on your legs, and 2. That item of clothing that's covering your legs isn't made of (most) synthetic fibers.
Why is this? Heat buildup. That slide isn't nearly as slippery as you might think, and that's on purpose. The slide itself is doing part of the job of stopping you "at the end" by preventing you from getting going all that quickly in the first place. But the potential energy of your human body being elevated above the ground by the height of the slide has to go somewhere, and just like with the brakes on a car after going down a long hill, that energy gets turned into heat.
If you're wearing nothing, instead of getting turned into heat, you get a very nasty case of road rash.
If you're wearing synthetic fabrics on your legs, the heat melts them and they stick to your skin, meaning you need a trip to the burn ward.
And no I'm not joking about that trip to the burn ward, the heat is really intense enough to melt the clothes that you're wearing, if they can be melted.
That's part of why I always wear denim jeans when I fly on an airliner. It solves some problems that might otherwise happen if I was wearing shorts or synthetic fabrics.
@@44R0Ndindress for duress not to impress
@@44R0Ndin Hmmm... I find it unlikely that the friction with the slide on a 757 would create enough heat to melt clothing. Might be more believable from the upper deck of a 747 or A380, though. A 757's door sill sits about 12.5-13 feet off of the ground. It's not that much higher than many playground slides. The amount of heat dissipated into your clothes and skin would be less than if you were to slide down a 1-story-tall fireman's pole and that doesn't melt clothing, despite the heat being spread over significantly less surface contact area.
Of course, I don't doubt at all that you'll have an uncomfortable time if your bare legs are making much contact with the slide. But that 'burning' is really not burning at all, but rather a similar sensation created by irritated and/or injured skin. The heat you feel there is produced by your body as part of the inflammatory response, not heat from an external source.
As for the potential energy argument, to do a bit of calculation, a 150 pound (68 kg) person descending 4 meters (a bit more than the 757's deck height) on Earth releases about 2,666 J of energy. This is enough to heat 1 kg of polyester by approximately 2-2.5 degrees Celcius. Perceivable, but not enough to cause a burn. Of course, your car (or your landing 757!) is releasing a heck of a lot more than 2,666 J of energy into its brakes. For comparison, a 1,400 kg Nissan Altima stopping from 100 km/h (27.8 m/s = 62.1 mph) must dissipate around 1,080,000 J of energy, around 500 times as much as our passenger descending from a 757. Of course, it should also be considered that the exact same amount of potential energy is released by the passenger if they simply walk down a flight of stairs to the ground vs. taking a slide and that doesn't exactly melt their shoes (unless they have some seriously shoddy shoes.)
@@j_taylor Yes, and if you apply a blowtorch to a stack of newspapers only the top few sheets will char, yet charring still happened. Likewise with the polyester clothing, you have a not small amount of mass applying friction forces (and the resulting heat) on a rather small area, the factor that matters is watts not joules. And that friction is dissipating energy rapidly, which means a lot of watts.
So the blowtorch analogy is valid, and if you apply a blowtorch to someone's polyester clothing while they're wearing it, the outer layers of it will easily melt.
And if the "outer layers" are something like rayon pantyhose, you're in for a bad time. The rayon will melt, stick to your skin, and burn you, meanwhile since there's now places where the rayon has melted away, there's additional direct contact between your skin and the coarse surface of the escape slide, adding abrasions to the thermal burns. Like I said, "1 injury" is a phenomenal result, given the headaches that just "the wrong kind of clothing" can bring to a trip down an aircraft's escape slide. And the problem only gets worse when the aircraft gets bigger, so this is even more of an issue on an A380 or 747's escape slides, for instance.
757 to Richmond of all places?
Why there was ACARS sound at 4:24?
Hi, can you do a video on ua804 for august 5th 2023? It diverted for unknown reasons.
The person who took the overwing exit took one look at that slide (which is steeper than slides on the regular exits) and is like "nope!" and goes back in to get to one of the other doors.
Since the FO is the first crew voice speaking to the ATC, does that mean the Captain was flying that leg? Then the Captain takes over communications after learning of the fire?
What is the time frame from initial response to getting to the airplane?
Spicy donut.
