Great video Man Let me get this right the pilot with 17000 hours said don’t worry about the Gas gauge on a airplane 😖 that’s like driving your car on the highway and your gas light comes on and you say meh it’s fine it’s a mechanical issue 😳
If I ever saw a flight attendant visually inspecting the wings with a flashlight mid flight, I’d be walking back to the drink cart. I’m not drunk enough for this yet.
When I was a Second Officer (long haul relief First Officer) for an Asian airline that used to hire mainly expats I once had to go back and do a visual inspection. Passenger said that after take off there was a flame from the number 2 engine. On the A340-300 that's the inboard on the left wing. Never had more eyes on me in my life as I looked out of a few windows, we had no indication in the flight deck that there was an issue, it was just the rotating beacon reflection scaring a nervous passenger as we passed through the cloud layer. Funny looking back at how many people were gazing at me to see my reaction. It was a non issue and ops normal. I had to smile and just shrug and say "just a reflection".
@gnarkillkicksass 👀 if I was a passenger that response would not put me at ease. If someone said they saw flames you'd better land that damn plane asap and not rely on your eyes for this. Don't play with my life!
@@user_abcxyzz Like I said it was a non issue, we don't turn around because an inexperienced very nervous flyer noticed the light reflecting off the inboard cowling while climbing through the cloud layer at night in a dimmed cabin. If there was an issue involving a flame it would have been blatantly obvious to dozens of people and we would have had a EICAS indication. We did our due diligence.
Fun Fact: The flight route was changed last minute before take off, they decided to change the route 60 miles south to avoid congested air traffic. This change in flight route put the plane closer to Lages Airport essentially saving them from crashing into the ocean.
My god, the entire time I thought this was going to be an all souls lost disaster but turned out to be completely different, amazing work by the pilots even with their mistakes!
I share the same sentiment. As an engineer myself, I'm disappointed about their thought process but at the same time I'm extremely proud they got everybody safe.
@@michaela7100the procedure has to do with shutting down one of the two engines, isolating the leak. You need to fly at a lower altitude with only one engine running.
One thing I love about these kinds of videos is they make me feel safe on planes. The sheer amount of things that have to go wrong for a plane to be in an actual emergency is astonishing and then the fact even in those situations an emergency can still be non-fatal is even more astonishing. Planes really are the safest form of travel
@@PhenomRom It takes several different people from different teams to overlook the same issue and then highly experienced pilots to also overlook that issue and make several wrong decisions along with ATC to make wrong decisions for a plane to actually crash. And we see here even when all those things have happened and BOTH engines have completely failed the plane *STILL* landed safely. Then every time any incident happens there is a VERY thorough review of what happened and new steps are implemented across the board to prevent those things from happening again. The safety of plane travel increases exponentially the longer planes are in use, no other form of transport comes even close to that
Same. During the Covid lockdowns here in Australia, I started watching aviation videos to live vicariously until we could travel again 😅 I started watching one pilot's videos in particular, and by the time we were out and flying again I felt safer on planes than I ever had before, knowing just how many redundancies and backup plans are built in and how many 'scary' things can go wrong and you're still going to be okay.
I knew one of the flight attendants on this flight, John Ursini. He tells me this story every time i see him and he still can't believe he is alive today.
@@lordmark9546he didn’t though. He reacted very professionally and saved the plane. Why do you bitter losers always look at the negatives and never the positives? It’s easy to assume things after the flight but being a pilot in the heat of the moment with nothing to explain the issues is different.
@@lordmark9546That wasn't even said in this whole video. The pilot was wrong about what the problem was, if you think arrogant just means incorrect about something, then sure, but that isn't what it means.
@dmart9642 imagine you're on a trip and your check engine light comes on. Are most ppl really gonna stop the car on the side of the road to avoid the possibility of a major issue or do they wait till the get to a body shop first? It wasn't as cut and dry as ppl act like it was.
Im 31 a aircraft technician at pearson for 5 years now and this is still talked about today in the hangers. Safety, safety, safety is the number one priority we have cause so much risk and lives we be on the line if things start to fail. This goes for any airbus.
Thank you for your service. I know that phrase is usually reserved for military service, but I think it’s appropriate for your profession. Your diligence and technical work keep so many people safe!
1. Masterful job by the captain and first officer. Insane levels of precision, timing and the ability to stay calm. Unreal. 2. "All passengers and crew were off the plane within 90 seconds" ........ Can't say I blame them.....
These videos could be a full-fledged TV show. Honestly. They're absolutely riveting. I watch a lot of air disaster content on TH-cam and no other channel keeps me on the edge of my seat like this one. I love how these videos are tense without being overly dramatic and how respectful and factual they are.
In that case, you might enjoy National Geographic's program "Mayday". In my locale, the Disney streaming service has a National Geographic section that includes "Mayday", so you could look for it there.
I think they stayed too calm about their fuel leak and assuming it wasn’t correct. In a sense calmness led to the situation being as drastic as it was.
This is by far one of the most insane stories I’ve ever heard! Man. Amazing pilots. Respect to Captain Sully but this is on another level. Great way to tell this story. Good work 👏🏾👏🏾
I'm not an enthusiast of air crash investigation, but I will have to praise this video for how comprehensive and detailed it is. It separates well the functions of the aircraft from the human behavior. Plus the images help a lot to visualize. I can even relate to an experience pilot, making a decisive decision of not checking for fuel leak, based on this expertise. Very good. Congrats.
With all those computers on board, it's quite surprising the plane wasn't shouting very loud from the beginning that the total fuel was going down much faster than expected. Even my car gives a prediction of how many miles until fuel is going to run out.
Riught??? The computer knows how much fuels in the tanks. It knows how much fuel has been pumped into the engines. It knows how much fuel it started will. If they don't all add up to roughly the same number, wtf isn't it showing a huge red message on the display "FUEL LEAK SUSPECTED"
They are extremely lucky that they didn't lose engine power a lot sooner. They made some very serious mistakes early on but it's nice to see a story that ended well.
In my years as a ground vehicle mechanic I had friends in aviation. “Ahhh come work on birds with us” and so on. My response then and now, “ nope not a chance in hell. If I install a part on a vehicle and it is broken from the factory or I make a mistake in my work. They can pull over. Show me where a pilot can pull a bird over” massive respect to aviation mechanics for the jobs they do!
Brilliant video. As a person in engineering, this taught me so much about ensuring that the crews are equipped to deal with emergency situations. We always tend to overlook certain scenarios because we believe that it may never happen. Never leave a stone unturned if you are working with equipment that can kill people. Ensure that operators/pilots are thoroughly trained to deal with every possible scenario. Thank you for this amazing video.
@@rhys2040 well no the reason sully is amazing is how little time from take off. And the fact there has never been a double bird strike on take off like that. And there was no training for it. The reason they survived was his quick thinking. His personal study of the Nigerian airline that did a sealanding after running out of fuel during a terrorist attack, and the recommendations for landing a large under wing mounted jumbo jet in a body of water. He also being a former fighter pilot was an expert in angle of attack. Both in landing and in ditching. You out almost any other pilot behind the sticks and that plane would be scattered over downtown. It is still to this day the only time a plane of that size has done a water ditching and everyone survived. You don't get as lucky as Sully. You earn that through decades as a student of your craft. He did everything perfect and in less time than you can count on one hand. This is great but Sully is who every pilot should strive to be. Not just that moment. His entire career
Like let it sink in. That's having to navigate a never before seen double bird strike on takeoff. Then having to do a never before seen water landing of a massive Airbus A320 And having like 3 minutes between those 2 realities. I'll take the guy who did everything right and defied 2 Aviation anomalies. And I know who I'd rather be my pilot.
@@drunkpaulocosta Ehh, I dunno. Landing a crippled airplane while being navigated by the military on the radio isn't that easy either. The pilot had very limited information and control over the aircraft after the engines blew up.
As a aircraft maintenance technician, it is incredibly frustrating how convuluted it can be to determine wether a component is pre-SB or post-SB. Its one thing i genuinely wish was much more accessible or simplified for the average line technician. For instance, the mod status may be buried in paperwork locked in an office somewhere, and completely unavailable online because it relies on the serial number of the component in question. However, in this case they knowingly installed the incorrect SB part and rigged it to work. This fiasco ultimately started with the technicians and is a stark reminder whyus as mechanics need to remain aware of human factors, particularly complacency, and also be willing to stand up to management and say "No, that part is not compatible and this plane is not going to make that flight as a result". Youd be surprised how many middle-managers will try and dispute anything you say that could render the aircraft unserviceable.
It's quite amazing how fast and how far these massive planes can glide without any engine power. I bet the engines don't have to work very hard once they reach cruising altitude. Great video!
Every descent is done with the engines in Flight Idle. The engines are running but barely producing thrust, or maybe no thrust at all. When clean, these aircraft have huge aerodynamic efficiency. That's why they're so fuel efficient.
@@duartesimoes508lol tell me you are not a pilot without telling me you are not a pilot. Not every descent is an idle descent. We use different vertical modes. Some are based on thrust and some are based on pitch attitude.
@@GreatLaker69ya you can hear the engines cycling through power on and power idle modes as it descends. I’ve always wondered why they need thrust to descend.
Great episodes! I was disappointed when I saw there were only 3 to watch cause they're so good but you're early on and hit the ground running. Welcome and great job. Can't wait to see more. Definitely reinforces why I like being on the ground!
INCREDIBLE coverage of these events. The perfect length to explain the details without overdramatizing the events. The moments of silence for fatal incidents are a nice touch as well. I hope your channel grows so you can continue to produce these amazing videos.
they may not have followed procedure and discovered there was a fuel leak. But i think i speak for many when i’d say they did a hell of a good job flying that plane. pilots are rock stars in my book always have been and always will be❤
Not following procedure save there life. In this case Commandant Piché add the expérience. Procedure are writtend in a glass office, nothing will beat real life 😀
@@Aviationaccidents they are incredibly well put together , the narrator keeps you hanging on every word The sequence of events are very easy to follow and understand what is happening , the whole thing is excellent
They are not heroes because they are first and foremost saving their own asses. A hero is someone who elects to risk his own life to save that of others.
I am not a formal pilot and just an aviation fan. You put this together so nicely I was able to follow and understand everything! Also so glad for the final good outcome.
Great Narration, loved how you provided in-depth insight on the horrific series of events covering many scenarios. What a Triumphant video with lots of take aways!
Great job! I had not heard about this one before. I was aware of the Gimli glider and TACA Flight 110, but this was the scariest, being out over the Atlantic.
A most captivation video. Despite the errors of the maintenance staff and Captain and first offocer, most importantly the passengers and crew were safe in the end.
I remember a comment on this incident from Air Crash investigation TV show. A passenger on the flight said abou the captain: Do I think he is a hero? No! But do I think he is a hell of a pilot? Yeah!
Yes great airmanship to glide that far and land with engines out. But not heroes since they completely ignored the data in front of them and continued to not believe they had a massive fuel leak, and for not shutting down the right engine with the leak. They almost killed everyone for not trusting in their instruments and data right in front of their eyes. They didn’t deserve the awards they were given
I just discovered your channel and being a huge fan of aircraft investigations and I am very glad I have. 2 things I appreciate after watching a few videos, 1. I am glad to see that you do not include all the over-acting from actors trying to recreate a scenario of the flight and ultimate crash, and 2. Thank you for showing the photos of the actual pilots! I can't imagine how horrible it must be for family members of the pilots to see the reenacting and including the actors photo and not the real pilot. We don't need all that fluff just the facts. Well done! Your narration is right on target with only the important details and I appreciate your sincere heart felt empathy for those who lost their lives in the cruelest way. You have a new convert here and I am sure you will continue to grow with many more! Great job!
so interesting hearing the analysis of their mistakes, makes me want to be ultra aware of my own confirmation bias when approaching anything! i know the pilots were mistaken in not following the procedures, but i can't believe they managed to save the situation when they were so high on approach, its pretty awesome!! this is such a great video, i can't wait to see more - again, i'm sure this channel is going to do brilliant things :)
As a pilot, seriously impressed with this production. Learned about this from a CRM case study we did. It highlights well that "pilot error" is convenient for Airlines and Insurance companies when they ignore failings withing in the Airline itself in the Training and Maintenance departments.
The crew didn’t consult the qrh and transferred fuel into a fuel leak. I’ve flown long haul in big jets since the 90’s and the first thing we’ve always done is a confirmation of no fuel leak before ever transferring fuel. I don’t know how these two kept their licenses. Shocking.
For those interested, there is a movie that has been made about this particular flight and about the captain's life before and after the incident. Check out "Entre ciel et terre" (yes a french canadian movie for a french canadian captain!) That moment when the last engine flames out you can really feel the dread in the cockpit as everything around is dead silent
My grandfather successfully landed in Caen during 1944 - riding in a military glider. Of course, it had no fuel as such - only plywood wings - but the pilot did land it whilst under heavy AK-AK fire.
subscribed and commenting to say that the production value of this video, the detailed technical analysis and absence of constant advertisement interjections were all refreshing. nice to hear about a real life / death emergency situation that didnt result in tragedy too... I watched with anticipation.
19:07 'Longest glide by a passenger aircraft in aviation history' How many kilometers or miles was that? Incredible skills by the flight crew though as mentioned they did mess up in their evaluation of the problem and recommended procedures.
Wow this is just next level. I love mentour and green dot but this blows both of them out of the water. The commentator music sound effects graphics story telling unbelievable 10/10 who is commenting?
Good comment. The Menotor and Green Dot are great, too. This program is right with them. You learn a lot about CRM. As a fire officer, we use this in our training even though aviation is a different task.
omg i remember watching this on Nat Geo when i was a teen... im 30 now damn i still remember the GLIDER!! and i still remember the graphics used of the pipes
17k views??? With this level of quality?? TH-cam stays on some bs sometimes, like this is awesome. I don’t understand a damn thing you’re saying, I know fuck all about flying or the physics of it, but that does NOT stop my heart from really pumping at 3am😂 Please keep doing what you do!! So good❤
To be fair his channel is pretty new so I imagine his videos will start popping up in more people’s recommendations soon, thats how I just found out about this channel and I never watch videos like these!
@Aviationaccidents of course! On that note - and don't get me wrong, create how you see fit and I'll tune in regardless - but I haven't seen other aviation channels do this so it could be helpful. Maybe have a brief definition flash onscreen whenever you mention a button that operates the plane/a maneuver etc etc. It'd help the dummies like me and may help people become more invested! If you say "the plane lost function of control X" and we could see onscreen what that's supposed to do, the gravity of what's going on would be way more impactful. Just a thought :) incase you weren't busting your ass enough lol
I used to work as a fluid power test technician for a company that manufactured hydraulic equipment for the Airbus family in aircraft including the engine driven pumps and in this case Ram air turbine driven pump and emergency generators which where powered by the ram air turbine pump, which allowed the pilots to use the limited electrical power in the cockpit to get the plane down along with a lot of luck
Because of the high quality visuals and the top notch story telling I thought this channel would have millions of subscribers, but nope... and it's just starting! you guys have huge potential! I just subscribed, keep it up!
Damn well done video. As a person who did TV shows, over 3,000 flying all over the vast areas of American, world's third largest nation, plus shows in Hawaii, Alaska and Virgin Islands, I had many harry flights. One with seven big Russian ag people during the cold war, and they were studying Amish farming, and going back and forth in this very small commuter flight from Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Pa. The plane would dip back and fourth and the co-pilot came back and said to the interpreter stop this now, or we go down! That was just one of many, but this was bad, and the ground crew did not win any awards, but the piolets though not perfect, saved the day. Think I will stay with major airlines.
What an extraordinary video - it is so high quality that I thought I was watching the Mayday/AirCrashInvestigations TV show before the simulator scenes were shown. Fantastically produced, researched, and edited!
Superb quality for such a new channel. Graphics and transcript/narration are excellent. Subscribed, keep up the fantastic work, your efforts are highly appreciated.
The captain and number one are super heroes. death had already overtaken them. but because of these heroes, they escaped the realm of the dead. the longest glide ever. with a passenger plane. they had already been left dead. but luckily escaped. this is truly a miracle
My first long distance flight ever was to Australia 2 days after mh370 disappeared. Even since I’ve been fascinated by plane crashes. This channel is the shit

His personal study of the Nigerian airline that did a sealanding after running out of fuel during a terrorist attack, and the recommendations for landing a large under wing mounted jumbo jet in a body of water.
He also being a former fighter pilot was an expert in angle of attack. Both in landing and in ditching.
You out almost any other pilot behind the sticks and that plane would be scattered over downtown.
It is still to this day the only time a plane of that size has done a water ditching and everyone survived.
You don't get as lucky as Sully. You earn that through decades as a student of your craft. He did everything perfect and in less time than you can count on one hand.
This is great but Sully is who every pilot should strive to be. Not just that moment. His entire career
Like let it sink in. That's having to navigate a never before seen double bird strike on takeoff. Then having to do a never before seen water landing of a massive Airbus A320
And having like 3 minutes between those 2 realities. I'll take the guy who did everything right and defied 2 Aviation anomalies. And I know who I'd rather be my pilot.
@@drunkpaulocosta💯
@@drunkpaulocosta Ehh, I dunno. Landing a crippled airplane while being navigated by the military on the radio isn't that easy either. The pilot had very limited information and control over the aircraft after the engines blew up.
As a aircraft maintenance technician, it is incredibly frustrating how convuluted it can be to determine wether a component is pre-SB or post-SB. Its one thing i genuinely wish was much more accessible or simplified for the average line technician. For instance, the mod status may be buried in paperwork locked in an office somewhere, and completely unavailable online because it relies on the serial number of the component in question.
However, in this case they knowingly installed the incorrect SB part and rigged it to work. This fiasco ultimately started with the technicians and is a stark reminder whyus as mechanics need to remain aware of human factors, particularly complacency, and also be willing to stand up to management and say "No, that part is not compatible and this plane is not going to make that flight as a result". Youd be surprised how many middle-managers will try and dispute anything you say that could render the aircraft unserviceable.
This was made exceptionally. The script is amazing and even though there are no real images it was very well done. Music, images, etc.
Thanks!
It's quite amazing how fast and how far these massive planes can glide without any engine power. I bet the engines don't have to work very hard once they reach cruising altitude. Great video!
Every descent is done with the engines in Flight Idle. The engines are running but barely producing thrust, or maybe no thrust at all. When clean, these aircraft have huge aerodynamic efficiency. That's why they're so fuel efficient.
@@duartesimoes508lol tell me you are not a pilot without telling me you are not a pilot. Not every descent is an idle descent. We use different vertical modes. Some are based on thrust and some are based on pitch attitude.
@@GreatLaker69ya you can hear the engines cycling through power on and power idle modes as it descends. I’ve always wondered why they need thrust to descend.
@jaywhoisit4863 you are normally tracking to a glideslope path to the runway. If lower than slope you must climb to get back onto proper slope.
Very glad they made it. Can't imagine what it was like for the passengers.
Great episodes! I was disappointed when I saw there were only 3 to watch cause they're so good but you're early on and hit the ground running. Welcome and great job. Can't wait to see more. Definitely reinforces why I like being on the ground!
Haha more to come! Thanks!
INCREDIBLE coverage of these events. The perfect length to explain the details without overdramatizing the events. The moments of silence for fatal incidents are a nice touch as well. I hope your channel grows so you can continue to produce these amazing videos.
The Canadians sure as heck have a good record for running out of fuel and gliding it back safely. Gimli glider is such a great story
Literally had goosebumps at the end, what a recovery.
That cabin door kept some of the wildest secrets of the cockpit... Like your pilots reading the manual mid flight 🥴
starting up a new channel with the quality of your videos? Man you are guaranteed to be successful
Thanks! 🫶🏼
I was literally just thinking the same thing
What was the other one??
Im here for alllllll of this
Prior service 10yr vet
Now im a avionics inspector
Im glad i found this!!!
IM SUBSCRIBED!!!
As somebody flying from Toronto to Lisbon this summer, I think this is a good video for me to watch
😬
Whoops...
Here’s hoping you have pilots that will follow the checklist and not make assumptions based on their incorrect beliefs
I got goosebumps for a moment! Thankfully all survived
Found this channel by accident. Ive watched all three videos already! I can't wait for more!
Great! Thanks!
Poor choice of words, lol.
they may not have followed procedure and discovered there was a fuel leak. But i think i speak for many when i’d say they did a hell of a good job flying that plane. pilots are rock stars in my book always have been and always will be❤
Not following procedure save there life. In this case Commandant Piché add the expérience. Procedure are writtend in a glass office, nothing will beat real life 😀
@@GL-oi5cl I couldn’t agree with you more!!! Absolutely
I’ve watched 2 videos and im absolutely hooked
You need to keep these coming please 😆
Will do! Thanks!
@@Aviationaccidents they are incredibly well put together , the narrator keeps you hanging on every word
The sequence of events are very easy to follow and understand what is happening , the whole thing is excellent
A round of drinks for the crew. Yes, it's easy to second-guess from our desks and easy chairs. They are heroes to me.
They are not heroes because they are first and foremost saving their own asses. A hero is someone who elects to risk his own life to save that of others.
@@marks6663 Dios, is that you?
@@marks6663and they were risking their lives to save others
@@aaronstorey9712 explain how they were risking their own lives? Risk requires choice.
@@marks6663 if the plane went down so did they.
I’ve never seen this channel before, but I was thoroughly entertained and intrigued. Instant like & subscribe.
I am not a formal pilot and just an aviation fan. You put this together so nicely I was able to follow and understand everything! Also so glad for the final good outcome.
Glad it was helpful!
Great Narration, loved how you provided in-depth insight on the horrific series of events covering many scenarios. What a Triumphant video with lots of take aways!
Thanks!
It still amazes me how humans can operate such a big vehicle, must be so cool to be able to do so
Unbelievably good production quality man, definitely deserves more subs and views
Much appreciated!
Subscribed to your channel a few hours ago. Really like the immersive feeling one gets from your videos.
Thanks! Nice to hear! :)
Great job! I had not heard about this one before. I was aware of the Gimli glider and TACA Flight 110, but this was the scariest, being out over the Atlantic.
A most captivation video. Despite the errors of the maintenance staff and Captain and first offocer, most importantly the passengers and crew were safe in the end.
I remember a comment on this incident from Air Crash investigation TV show. A passenger on the flight said abou the captain: Do I think he is a hero? No! But do I think he is a hell of a pilot? Yeah!
That flight recovery was nothing short of a miracle, the pilots are legendary heroes for saving the aircraft and the passengers on board
🤦🏻♂️
Yes great airmanship to glide that far and land with engines out. But not heroes since they completely ignored the data in front of them and continued to not believe they had a massive fuel leak, and for not shutting down the right engine with the leak.
They almost killed everyone for not trusting in their instruments and data right in front of their eyes. They didn’t deserve the awards they were given
I just discovered your channel and being a huge fan of aircraft investigations and I am very glad I have. 2 things I appreciate after watching a few videos, 1. I am glad to see that you do not include all the over-acting from actors trying to recreate a scenario of the flight and ultimate crash, and 2. Thank you for showing the photos of the actual pilots! I can't imagine how horrible it must be for family members of the pilots to see the reenacting and including the actors photo and not the real pilot. We don't need all that fluff just the facts. Well done! Your narration is right on target with only the important details and I appreciate your sincere heart felt empathy for those who lost their lives in the cruelest way. You have a new convert here and I am sure you will continue to grow with many more! Great job!
Thank you for taking the time for such a comprehensive response. Very much appreciated!
Great quality of work.
Thanks Joseph!
so interesting hearing the analysis of their mistakes, makes me want to be ultra aware of my own confirmation bias when approaching anything! i know the pilots were mistaken in not following the procedures, but i can't believe they managed to save the situation when they were so high on approach, its pretty awesome!! this is such a great video, i can't wait to see more - again, i'm sure this channel is going to do brilliant things :)
As a pilot, seriously impressed with this production. Learned about this from a CRM case study we did. It highlights well that "pilot error" is convenient for Airlines and Insurance companies when they ignore failings withing in the Airline itself in the Training and Maintenance departments.
Thanks! Great comment! :)
The crew didn’t consult the qrh and transferred fuel into a fuel leak. I’ve flown long haul in big jets since the 90’s and the first thing we’ve always done is a confirmation of no fuel leak before ever transferring fuel. I don’t know how these two kept their licenses. Shocking.
For those interested, there is a movie that has been made about this particular flight and about the captain's life before and after the incident. Check out "Entre ciel et terre" (yes a french canadian movie for a french canadian captain!)
That moment when the last engine flames out you can really feel the dread in the cockpit as everything around is dead silent
They did mess up but absolutely did the right thing by getting everyone home safe and sound amazing story!
This is by far the best youtube channel i have ever seen! Beter then the one on tv!! With al respect for the victums en there families 🌹
Wow! Thanks! ❤️
Well, tought market you're getting into, I wish you good luck with the channel. Subscribing.
🫶🏼
My grandfather successfully landed in Caen during 1944 - riding in a military glider. Of course, it had no fuel as such - only plywood wings - but the pilot did land it whilst under heavy AK-AK fire.
My grandpa was a Glider Pilot in Market-Garden. He'd be proud of the crew saving the plane and gliding in.
subscribed and commenting to say that the production value of this video, the detailed technical analysis and absence of constant advertisement interjections were all refreshing. nice to hear about a real life / death emergency situation that didnt result in tragedy too... I watched with anticipation.
19:07 'Longest glide by a passenger aircraft in aviation history' How many kilometers or miles was that? Incredible skills by the flight crew though as mentioned they did mess up in their evaluation of the problem and recommended procedures.
So glad I found your channel! Love your editing style
Thanks Sofia!
Fantastic absolutely fantastic this is definitely my new favourite channel!!
That's great news! Thanks!
Those two pilots are total studs!!
After they are the ones who messed up
They also fucked it up big time.
Thank you, thank you for posting this. I just canceled my Europe to North-America flight reservation, thank you.
What a wonderful ending to a horrific story. Thank you for this great channel
Our pleasure!
Wow this is just next level. I love mentour and green dot but this blows both of them out of the water. The commentator music sound effects graphics story telling unbelievable 10/10 who is commenting?
What a comment! Thanks! You made my day!
Good comment. The Menotor and Green Dot are great, too. This program is right with them. You learn a lot about CRM. As a fire officer, we use this in our training even though aviation is a different task.
The pilots are legends!!
Best videos on the topic. You're absolutely killing it
Thanks! ❤️
omg i remember watching this on Nat Geo when i was a teen... im 30 now damn i still remember the GLIDER!! and i still remember the graphics used of the pipes
9/11 was a month later
Great work. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
17k views??? With this level of quality?? TH-cam stays on some bs sometimes, like this is awesome. I don’t understand a damn thing you’re saying, I know fuck all about flying or the physics of it, but that does NOT stop my heart from really pumping at 3am😂 Please keep doing what you do!! So good❤
Thanks for your support! My videos start to get traction after a couple of days. It's a new channel, so the algorithm has to find its way.
To be fair his channel is pretty new so I imagine his videos will start popping up in more people’s recommendations soon, thats how I just found out about this channel and I never watch videos like these!
@Aviationaccidents of course! On that note - and don't get me wrong, create how you see fit and I'll tune in regardless - but I haven't seen other aviation channels do this so it could be helpful. Maybe have a brief definition flash onscreen whenever you mention a button that operates the plane/a maneuver etc etc. It'd help the dummies like me and may help people become more invested! If you say "the plane lost function of control X" and we could see onscreen what that's supposed to do, the gravity of what's going on would be way more impactful. Just a thought :) incase you weren't busting your ass enough lol
Hi Rosia! Thanks for your feedback! Really helpful! Will definitely do something with it!
Now 1.1M
I was just recommended this channel and subbed after watching 2 videos, I really enjoy them! Keep up the good work, I am looking forward to more vids!
Watched all three videos. Subbed. Can't wait for more. High-quality from the get-go.
LET'S DO THIS!
Thanks! LET'S GOOOO! ✈️
I was on the edge of my seat until I realized they were able to land and everyone walked out from this, then my eyes filled up with tears of joy.
this was an amazing put together video, great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You’ll be successful for sure, keep pushing guys
Thanks! Will do!
I used to work as a fluid power test technician for a company that manufactured hydraulic equipment for the Airbus family in aircraft including the engine driven pumps and in this case Ram air turbine driven pump and emergency generators which where powered by the ram air turbine pump, which allowed the pilots to use the limited electrical power in the cockpit to get the plane down along with a lot of luck
Does the ram air turbine directly supply hydraulic pressure ? Or does it provide electrical power to the Blue hydraulic system electric pump ?
Wow the quality of these videos. I was tryin to binge watch only to realise that there's only three videos. Subscribed, you'll surely grow big
Haha thanks! This weekend there will be a new video!
Because of the high quality visuals and the top notch story telling I thought this channel would have millions of subscribers, but nope... and it's just starting! you guys have huge potential! I just subscribed, keep it up!
Thanks mate!
That is a really nice feedback😊👍🏻
Damn well done video. As a person who did TV shows, over 3,000 flying all over the vast areas of American, world's third largest nation, plus shows in Hawaii, Alaska and Virgin Islands, I had many harry flights. One with seven big Russian ag people during the cold war, and they were studying Amish farming, and going back and forth in this very small commuter flight from Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Pa. The plane would dip back and fourth and the co-pilot came back and said to the interpreter stop this now, or we go down! That was just one of many, but this was bad, and the ground crew did not win any awards, but the piolets though not perfect, saved the day. Think I will stay with major airlines.
I just found your channel today! Awesome work!
Thanks!
incredible !!! they made it !!!! super, but what horrid terror, fear and stress !!!! amazing.
Another brilliant video with very professional narration. Without doubt the best flight investigation channel after Mentour Pilot. Bravo !
Wow, thanks! :)
This was so incredibly illustrated and narrated
Instant sub🎉
Welcome aboard! Thanks!
You’re growing so fast because these videos are really good, keep going!
Will do! Thanks!
What an extraordinary video - it is so high quality that I thought I was watching the Mayday/AirCrashInvestigations TV show before the simulator scenes were shown. Fantastically produced, researched, and edited!
Thanks!
Thanks God that everyone was safe.
Good work! I like the detail..delivery, etc..subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
This is incredible! These pilots are heroes
Superb quality for such a new channel. Graphics and transcript/narration are excellent. Subscribed, keep up the fantastic work, your efforts are highly appreciated.
Thanks! :)
The captain and number one are super heroes. death had already overtaken them. but because of these heroes, they escaped the realm of the dead. the longest glide ever. with a passenger plane. they had already been left dead. but luckily escaped. this is truly a miracle
The captain and FO were muppets🤨
They almost killed everyone but not using their brains to recognize a fuel leak
Absolutely phenomenal channel - I love the "Pilots Eye View" inside the cockpit and forensic detail of your videos.
Thanks you!
My first long distance flight ever was to Australia 2 days after mh370 disappeared. Even since I’ve been fascinated by plane crashes. This channel is the shit
amazing video ! This channel is underrated, it deserves way more subs! Keep it up 💪
Exceptional channel and videos, great effort and amazing details for aviation
Thanks so much for the great value
Thank you Ahmed! ❤️
