- It was a routine takeoff for Emery Worldwide Flight 17, a domestic cargo plane making its way to Ohio, on February 16, 2000. Seconds later, that illusion was shattered as the plane began to violently tilt and rotate.

Cheers to the people commenting "at least the filming crew survived" on every video thinking they are 10/10 comedians.
you to laughed when you first saw some of those comments, you cant lie to me
@@travian821 they were funny at first but now they are just annoying
@@lemon651 true, those comments are now annoying
True
Yeah , like the guy under you
I knew they all died when I didn't see any of the actual people being interviewed
Lol
Fht
iinookie it’s a reconstruction
Star Muto What building did they reconstruct?
It’s cargo duh
"They realised sooner or later that they had to get on the ground"
Next clip: Plane smashing into the ground!
Jesus Christ
I mean, that is getting onto the ground, no?
@@ChakkyCharizard yes, but it's not the answer I wanted to hear
Had to get there somehow
So what really happen???
they used the same clip of the plane flying at least 4 times
Ikr
Your point?
Less co2 emissions
I noticed that.
@space lapis you too are brainless!
Really beginning to hate these clips that abruptly end when the plane crashes
They want you to buy it/sign up for streaming.
These are just clips from their actual show. Buy it to actually get to see the full thing
I don’t see the value in me paying to watch 10 year old shows about plane crashes. They get paid for views here.
I call out people who woosh on TH-cam
🖕🏾🖕🏾
I just watched 3 and I already hate them
*Luckily the filming crew survived.*
LMAO

*-STOOOOOOP-*
@@justint.3365 Genius
Wasn't that just a re-enactment? There would have been no filming crew on the actual flight.
RIP flight crew and pilots and anyone else that was on board.
@Avati0n thx, I cant imagine the horror they feel wen they know there gonna crash. What goes thru ones mind, as they wait mins to die. Bet its profoundly sad and horrifying.
Luckily the camera crew survived
But not the camera crew
Roman Paris please stop doing these jokes
@@romanparis1412 pathetic, weak comment. It wasn't funny the first time it was used, and is even less clever the thousandth time
Aw I don't know why but this episode just broke my heart for the pilots. They tried everything
😀er❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sdcdght❤️🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😀😂😎😭❤️🔥🎉🎉🙏👍
They need to install egection seats in all planes
They're the most depressing episodes...where the crew did everything right, but they never had a chance.
The guy who played the role of Captain won the Oscar for Best Protracted Grimacing Scene.
I agree they did everything they could’ve done . I hate when this happens it breaks my heart that it shows that these pilots who do everything they got in them and then there plan backfires
On February 16, 2000, the DC-8 crashed onto a salvage yard shortly after taking off from Sacramento Mather Airport, killing all 3 crew members on board. An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) revealed that during the aircraft's rotation, a control rod to the right elevator control tab detached, causing a loss of pitch control. The crew attempted unsuccessfully to return to Sacramento airport. The NTSB further found that an incorrect maintenance procedure, which was implemented by Emery Worldwide, introduced an incorrect torque-loading on the bolts which were supposed to connect the control rod.
Alex Bouvier daaaaaamn thanks for info
Thanks mate for the info…
Thanks for doing what is supposed to be Smithsonian's job
Thanks
Thanks
It is so silly to let us with no conclusion. We rather go to TH-cam channels such as Air Crash Investigation or The Flight Channel
Based on the video I think the plane was loaded incorectly
My pp itches
Lev Edelson The investigation showed that during take off one of the bolts attaching the right elevator to the control rod broke out. This was caused by improper Emery maintenance
Search on Facebook Emery worldwide flight 117 they have the conclusion
No, a stabilizer’s screw was loose which caused the plane to be out of control..If u noticed in the beginning the plane lifted off without the pilots consent...
The saddest thing is that they were so close and then the plane said:
*Not today*
I don't think it was the planes fault im pretty sure it was the cargo
@@jaredsdad8361 i mean, they did a video about what caused the problem but still weren't 100% sure what caused it.
@@mariya10733 it was a jammed elevator that cause the plane to pitch up and roll left and it would lose speed and pitch down every time it pitched up and finally it crashed into a scrap yard.
😥😥😥 l kno i cant stop crying
😓
R.I.P to all affected and thoughts go out to the family’s of the victims🙏
bruh this happened 20 years ago
@@generatedmax and
@@generatedmax and what about it . Some of us weren’t born to see this happen so to see it on a tv show tells us about flights like this .
Emery Worldwide never recovered from this accident. I left several months before the company stopped doing business. Sad story!!
Recovered you mean?
@@jimcaale1900 Thanks!
Uncle Bryce you worked for emery? Wow
@@killstreak1282 Yes. I remember the managers bringing everyone into the warehouse to talk about this accident. Very sad day.
@Rwy02 After the accident, they brought all the office and dock employees into the warehouse to break the news. It was a close-knit company. Several people cried because they knew the pilots.
This is a sad and heart-crushing aviation incident. The dramatization captures the horror very well. The music getting more tense and chaotic truly doesn't help the situation.
RIP to all 3 crew members of Emery Worldwide flight 17.
1:45 2:13 2:44 3:31 i didnt know the same thing happened 4 times but in the same position each time?
Hahaha Exactly
Perturbation.
You mean the same clip rolled 4 times
Oh Mr. Technical. Forgive them.
😂😂😂😂
I was working at the Emery Hub in DAY that night. It was sorry shift to work. A lot of us knew the Flt crew (particularly George). A flight engineer that came in later, and who I flew all over the world with (USAF), was devastated and I ended up taking him home with me, as the ATL aircraft went down for maintenance and his crew rest period expired. All the flt crews left at the Hub went out on the East ramp and stayed there until all the flights went out. There was a question of a container shifting to the rear (lock problem) and causing the COG to cause the nose up. interestingly enough, the parking lot that they crashed into had just held a discount car auction a couple of hours before they lifted off. it was the beginning of the end. the investigation was not kind to maintenance but management was not blameless. I left Emery ( Menlo Logistics, and untimately UPS AFTER they bought us from Menlo) in 2016. Some things from 17, I believe, were buried in a time capsule in the HUB. Don't know what happened to that either. Emery was a GREAT company to work for early on, not so much later. but still have some friends in the local area.
I worked for Miami Aircraft Support in Reno. We were the cargo handlers for Emery. We were devastated upon hearing about the crash.
the crew worked so well together, was a shame they came down short of the runway
its even more sad how close they were to landing
I was rooting for them the whole time
With the issues they had, it was doubtful it was ever going to end well, even on the runway. At least no one on the ground was killed. RIP the pilots and respect for the effort they put in to almost get back to the airport.
As a ground crew. The loading of cargo/ net weight of the cargo and fuel is one of the most important info for the crew. To have a safe and stable flight
“The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released its final report in 2003, three years after the accident. The report stated that the crash of Flight 17 was caused by the detachment of the right elevator control tab. The disconnection was caused by the failure to properly secure and inspect the attachment bolt.[5]
The NTSB then added: "The safety issues discussed in this report include DC-8 elevator position indicator installation and usage, adequacy of DC-8 maintenance work cards (required inspection items), and DC-8 elevator control tab design. Safety recommendations are addressed to the Federal Aviation Administration".”
It wasn’t a load shift.
2:08 thats trevor noah
I don't know why I watch these, flying can scare me in general. But these are just so interesting😂
I know lol

@@molly_1250 I don't wanna fly no more
@@xxalestrax4426 i feel you 😂
@@molly_1250 Just imagine flying out a window on the plane so fast like lil tays money dieing
The cause: The right elevator tab detached during take-off as a result of an incorrect maintenance procedure implemented by Emery worldwide.
The FAA found more than 100 maintenance violations by the airline, including one that caused another accident in 2001, Emery permanently grounded their entire fleet and ceased operations that same year.
Thanks for posting.
Thanks for posting that for us, appreciate it.
Emery owned by Consolidated Freightways
Thank god
So was there any balance issue or did the behaviour of the plane mislead them to diagnose it as a weight issue ?
Smithsonian, yet again leaving us with more questions than answers
I've seen the full versions of these air disasters, but then again, I have a subscription to: THE SMITHSONIAN CHANNEL! It's a great channel and a bargain at $4.99 per month.
Their first mistake was hiring George Land instead of George Takeoff
Comeback after a year and this comment would atleast have 1k likes.
They couldn't do either so I guess it really didn't matter
They took off (not well, but they did) but didn't land.
This channel made my fears of planes even scarier
Planes are by far the safest form of travel
No need to worry
@@tomashstephens3011 rlly?b&but what about the accidents...And the engine plane fail?They check it right but soemtuens when they check it still has accident
@@kkleorblx lol it’s not often when a plane crash happens. When they do happen they get documented as you see here in this video. If they made a video of every time a fatal car crash happened around the world, than this channel would need to upload literally every minute.
C'mon man they aren't that bad
That's why I love these Smithsonian videos, at the end of it you have more questions than answers
I remember this crash clearly. I lived in the city where it occurred. Could never forget that evening.
I Am Very Sorry For Their Losses. May They Fly High. Fly High My Friend Fly High. R . I . P. Rest In Peace.
love how they took off "its brighter here" after the plane crashes
Very sad moment for the crew...
Duh. Obviously
True
True
dead
that pull-up sound is the most terrifying sound I've ever heard. They should change that sound into more tolerable one.
I think that's by design
It's supposed to be terrifying.
It's meant to be lol
It has to be scary to signal how much danger you are in
Emery Worldwide: now THERE'S a name I remember from my childhood! Time was when that company was a serious competitor to UPS and FedEx, and I can recall when its commercials choked the airwaves with their jingle, "It's As Good As There.'
Now, it's fully a generation since the company ceased operations completely, after ALL their aircraft were declared unsafe. This incident was apparently the trigger....
They are still around. They're called UPS.
If you're rarely going to post plane disasters as least give us the full episode
El Señor Samuel FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!
exactly
It was the Smithsonian that posted it. I am very suprised they did not follow with the investigation.
El Señor Samuel It’s a teaser to their show AirDisasters: Nuts and Bolts. Pretty good not gonna lie
finally people think so

really said RIP to cars and a plane ?
RIP To the crew. They fought hard to the very end. Luckily, there were no passengers.
yes because it was a cargo plane
Unfortunately there were no passengers.
@@NopWorks Pardon?
everybody dies, Smithsonian channel: it's brighter here
Rest in peace to all the person on the plane, many of whom gone to soon but never forgotten.
Jermaine Martin: Eventually, EVERYTHING is forgotten.
@@zzzzzzz9077 If He existed, what He actually did is long forgotten.
@@lazurm Um, they recorded many aspects of Jesus's life and actions in the bible and other religious texts man. So to say what He did is forgotten isn't really true.
@@KB-bh9hp The "recorded" texts were written decades after His supposed death, and more. There are no records outside the Bible and the Romans don't even have records of the crucifixion, something they were quite assiduous about.
Either way, after mankind becomes extinct (and that will happen) everything is forgotten.
@@lazurm I suppose, I guess it depends on your perspective on things like the afterlife, and if you believe in it or not. Based on your comments, I'm gonna assume you don't, that's ok, doesn't make you any better or worse than someone who's religious, just makes you different.
When flying cargo, the two most important things that has to be taken care of is that the plane is not overloaded and that the freight is balanced.
True, but in this accident it turns out it was a mechanical problem with the plane. A bolt came loose in the mechanism that moves the horizontal stabilizer. The cause of that was improper maintenance.
I can never watch too many plane crash stories. The horror realizing your flying in your coffin.
It's such a lottery getting on a plane !! Always love the beginning when everyone's clueless as to what's ahead and the investigations are always so interesting
3:37 I think they missed the runway.
Obviously they did the plan they had backfired they did Every thing they could to save that plane
Brookie Sykesxx *cough cough* better delete that or get the wooooosh
the DC-8 crashed onto a salvage yard shortly after taking off from Sacramento Mather Airport, killing all 3 crew members on board.
Hope they can salvage the plane lol
Bhavna Prabhu..dick
Yep... I was returning from Eureka on my piper chieftain (AMF-232) and heard about this crash as I started descending into the bay area... sad day indeed. :(
If I recall right, there was an incorrect setting of the straps that held the cargo containers in place, resulting in a shift of the cargo. The effect was like trying to hold a tray steady when laden with water. A shift in one direction caused an unbalance which when corrected caused an even worse inbalance in the opposite direction. They were given no chance to survive.
No it wasn't.
Right elevator control tab detached during take off due to faulty maintenance resulting in loss of pitch control, ya i know 4 year old comment up there.
The pilots radioed air traffic controllers that they were fighting a severe weight and balance problem, but a full investigation discovered that broken elevator controls made the aircraft uncontrollable just as it left the ground.
Great video! Didn’t bore us with an explanation of what happened!
i need to stop watching watching this whenever iam waiting for the plane
Where is the rest of the video / story then ?????????????????????????
this is a clip from their air crash documentaries (those cost money prob not worth it)
SandMan Jono Buy a freaking tv for god’s sake
donald mackay Somehow you can buy it in some store or something?
Cliff hanger
Of course that camera man survives
The ending was kind of disappointing
Crash. Death. Destruction. Thanks for coming!
i've seen this air traffic controller many times.
Amazing that you’re continuing uploads despite the partial government shutdown
Guessing it's pre-scheduled
Lol more like partial uploads with the partial gov shutdown haha
Are you sure Smithsonian is even government? Why is it a PAY CHANNEL on my cable package then instead of free? Anything the us govt produces is public domain by default. They don't hold the copyrights since they're using our money (taxpayers).
@@Syclone0044 it's government yes
I am having a joint venture right now watching it.
BEST NARRATOR EVER :)
Excellent conclusion as always...
Mather is an old air force base converted into an air cargo terminal. Back in 2000 it was surrounded by mostly industrial business like the junk yard. Today there is a residential development between the air port and where the plane crashed.
Most air crash investigation channels: Let's have a monotone voice with Southern twinges narrate to the sight of animated blueprint graphics from 1998
Smithsonian: a c t o r s
Its actually a Canadian show that Smithsonian has the rights to show in America.
“ROLL OUT! ROLL OUT!” - Ludacris at the controls.
The pilot is so chill
Jeez. I can’t imagine the last minute terror when they knew all was about to be lost.
I retired just two weeks later from Emery Worldwide after 27 great years at PDX.
Smithsonian: a routine flight quickly turns into a disaster
Ryanair: all of this video is a routine flight for us

Good the pilot survived
Watching this vid in Terminal 18 departure in 45 minutes👌👌👌
"Hey Honey, wheres our car?"
"Right next to Dave in 6B!"
"Okay, Thanks! Wait, what?"
Thank you for the Upload ❤️ !! XD
I’m just happy everyone is fine.
I see you finally got rid of the "It's brighter here" splash screen at the end.
After lots of negative comments lol
Damian Ugalde yeah because it was fucked up.
@@cxzmyc what did it mean guys?
Momoland are LEGENDS they used to have a motto “It’s brighter here” and they used to play it at the end of their videos, and it was messed up. For example, a plane would crash, and the narrator would say “All 256 people were killed, including 26 children” and then the outro would cue: “Smithsonian. It’s brighter here.” And it was super messed up lol
@@cxzmyc ohhh, i bet they lost alot of suscribers tho
“Got it” ... nevermind
Whenever I feel like my hopes and dreams just crash and burn all the time, I’ll remember this.
Love your channel
Him: i got it
Plane: nose dives
NTSB should put any airplane with parachute
I have severe aerophobia but watching these documentaries just tugs my interests
Once again this channel leaves us with more questions than answers
Great watching this the night before I go on a plane
Just did
Guys there is a camera crew on my plane I’m scared now
Nabila Artan no
Nabila Artan something called brazzers idk what it is
What airline what plane ill call for alert 5
I knew there was a problem when I saw Key and Peele as the air traffic controllers.
So sad!! May these pilots Rest In Peace!!
“Sooner or later, they’ve got to get on the ground”
Next scene: *plane smashing into ground*
Really dude. Blows my mind that people still steal comments
@ 2:30 *starts singing Ludacris in the face of death 😂😂
Alex Youngberg That’s exactly what I was thinking!!!
final clip: plane crashing
*credits roll as "you've got a friend in me" plays*
When Greg Feith is commenting about your flight, you most assuredly had a really bad one.
“Crippled plane” well
Sad that these pilots were essentially family, flying together for around 6+ months and trying to save their doomed aircraft all because of a bad maintenance job. They had to fight for their lives and I can only feel for what their actual family went through. Especially seeing this on TV or TH-cam such a trauma for families of these pilots.
Absolutely. What if a friend of yours was on a flight and then a massive and serious aviation disaster happened in which people perished?
The second plane crash, of which I'm aware, at Mather. First one was a B-52, which crashed the day before I arrived there, as a young Airman, in December 1982.
The captain shouting "Roll Out" reminded me of that Ludacris song 😎
"And then everyone died! The end."
I can just imagine the ground service guys are like “sucks to be those guys” right after the plane crashes
Wow you got the whole room laughing with that one 😐😐😐
lame
These stories is what makes me scared to fly on a plane.
Man I feel so bad for these people
when you dodge missles in gta 5
totally
Delighted to see some New Plane Crash Videos!
I glad that that they all survived to tell their story.
they didn't
This accident was telecasted in *NAT GEO* ..... Really very fearful
What day and time will the the rest of this be on your Cable Channel?
2:09 For a second I thought that was Trevor Noah XD
Why can't I stop watching these
This is one of those accidents that isnt known much.
*rip*
The cause of the crash wasn't an unbalanced load, it was caused by the detachment of the right elevator control tab. The disconnection was caused by the failure to properly secure and inspect the attachment bolt.
So close, I was really hoping that they would make it...
TH-cam decided to recommend this when I have a flight scheduled in a couple of hours 😅
Smithsonian does such a great detailed job of their reenactments. If they would only follow through with the rest of the story these "Could" be some fantastic videos❗
