I was a passenger on AA Flight 182. I was sitting near the back on the right side on the aisle. The damage to the aircraft was to the interior and was significant. When Captain Eby essentially dove the aircraft, many of the passengers in the front half of the plane who had unbuckled their seat belts were thrown to the ceiling along with several food carts. The cabin ceiling in a DC-10 is a "drop" ceiling and the passengers and carts went through it. Many of the ceiling tiles were dislodged and were hanging down. One food cart came down in an unoccupied seat. It would have taken some time to repair the aircraft before it could be returned to service.
It must have been a horrific experience for all of you. Glad you got off that plane and reunited with your family.
@Andy Garmhausen
What did the flight crew say about the situation after the captain made the sharp dive? Did he tell you it was a near miss? Man if you were on this plane you need to do a video about it and let people ask you questions. Thanks!
All the passengers on 182 and 37 were so fortunate. Seems like miracle to me.
@@watershed44 Yes, the Captain came on the intercom several minutes after the incident and stated that what happened was "an evasive maneuver to avoid another aircraft" and that we would be landing in Detroit in about 20 minutes. We had no idea how close it was although I distinctly remember hearing a loud roar commensurate with the dive. I thought then that it was our engines. Later I began to think it was the sound from the engines of the L-1011.
@@andygarmhausen2571 well since everyone survived I would say that is a fun story...
Cool... And your underpants?
That definitely falls into the "Holy Crap" category.
Holy crap
No F'ING kidding!!! JUST WHAT in the hell were both of those two Flight Crews thinking? "Who's going to make the first Diversion and when"???" "Fun and games"? This is terrifying and
@@bandfromtheband9445 and....?
More like "HOLY SHIT"
@@bandfromtheband9445 flight crews had nothing to do with this mishap. I am surprised the LA bound plane didn't see the other planes lights though, since his own lights were seen by the other plane.
11/26/2019 - Just saw a retrospective of this near miss on TV; several former passengers and crew of that miraculous flight have kept in touch with the Captain and they all celebrated his 100th Birthday together in 2018. What a Hero! ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Gee wiz, that L1011 is a gorgeous aircraft.
my all time favorite. a TWA L-1011 is just a pure classic.
I can see they don’t fly for commercial airline companies like TWA anymore.
Pilots loved flying it, too. Great aircraft.
L1011 be like Let’s beat up this other tri-jet
Enjoyed flying in one !!
Great video-reconstruct of this incident. I was a passenger on this AAL flight that night (seat 2H starboard side) When the dive took place I didn't have my seat belt fastened. I flew up and hit the ceiling panels. After the plane leveled off, there was complete chaos in the cabin. Injured Flight Attendants, and passengers. Overhead luggage compartments opened up from the force of the dive, sewage from the toilets ran down the aisles and seats were bent out of place where people landed on them. For a very well researched and in depth look at the entire event, get a copy of the book titled EBY Master of the Moment, by Bert Herman also a passenger on the flight that night. Also... and call it superstition if you want to ...the Flight Number was 182 and there were exactly 182 passengers on board that night. Great video, please keep up your good work.
Thanks for sharing. What were the reactions like, AFTER the announcement was made about what caused the dive?
One of my aircraft mechanic instructors told us a story from his days as a 707 flight engineer for United on cargo flights to Japan. Mid-Pacific they were talking with a sister ship on a return flight 1,000 feet higher, looking for each other, and beginning to joke about whose navigation was off when they didn't see each other. Finally a dot appeared far ahead, and suddenly a 707 flashed overhead. At a closing speed near 1,000 mph, from the time you can see an aircraft coming at you and time it arrives is next to nothing.
Hs Hs It is. 1,000’ vertical separation in RVSM airspace is now the norm, and indeed from the time you can visually acquire another aircraft moving on the opposite direction until it’s past is quite fast. It does depend on several factors (eg size of the aircraft, sun angle, presence of contrails), but in this case at night in clouds with minimal exterior lighting on the opportunity to see and avoid is minimal at best, especially for the L-1011 pilots given the AA aircraft was below them in what’s effectively a blind spot in the cockpit (and the L-1011 has excellent cockpit visibility compared to other aircraft).
@@HEDGE1011 I'm reading Ed Jablonsky's book _Flying Fortress_ now, and a favorite Luftwaffe attack angle is head-on. Even in the days of propeller aircraft, A Focke-Wulf 190 doing 400 and a B-17 doing 350 are closing at 750, not much time for either to get a shot off at the other.
@@hshs5756 Without a tailwind and a steep nose down attitude a B-17 would be hard put get anywhere near 350 mph. For most of WWII 350 mph was fighter speed, not heavy four engine bomber speed whether the bomber was cruising, or on a bomb run. But yes, you are correct about the fact that the head-on firing pass took nerves of steel and perfect timing if one was to hit the target with ones guns and not with the entire fighter plane. This tactic only became popular with the Luftwaffe because it was the only attack angle which avoided a long, slow and dangerous tail chase straight into the .50 calibers in the tail, and which placed the cockpit, wing fuel tanks, and the engines and their props and oil tanks of a B-17 or B-24 ALL in the kill zone at the same time. For a few fleeting seconds.
@@dpeasehead You're right, a B-17's top speed at 25,200 ft is only 317 mph www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/B-17/B-17.html so I should have dropped my closing speed number to 717 mph. But I doubt if anyone in that situation shooting at each other could tell the difference.
Human reaction time simply cannot react fast enough at those speeds, TCAS when used properly is a game changer it pretty much makes these situations a thing of the past thankfully.
Again, thank you for these lesser known non fatal incidents. Fascinating. Keep up the good work my friend
Never heard of this one - nicely done my man!
Likewise
@Terry Hawkins why? 2nd did nothing wrong.
@Terry Hawkins
That was the 1st ATC's mistake. The 2nd ATC did nothing wrong.
I had not heard of this before. How utterly chilling and gut-wrenching! Can’t imagine what those pilots felt when they saw aircraft lights *coming at them* at eye level!
Interesting reporting on the planes’ futures after that harrowing event, too. Great job as usual, Allec!
@gomphrena -beautiful flower-
I bet both the AA pilots were in shock for weeks after this incident. I can't imagine flying and landing after such a shock.
watershed44 • Ditto. Unbelievable no one suffered a heart attack; but glad they didn’t!
@@watershed44 Might have had nightmares about it, too.
My heart skipped a beat for a second there. Well done!

Thank God for that second controller!!

@@K1OIK are you stupid?
@@K1OIK shut
@@pedrovicnt_ what?
Within 100 feet of each other but the pilots of the TWA plane never knew until they landed at LAX?
WTF?!?!?
@Hogan Savoy
Indeed, that's crazy. Perhaps the controller and supervisor believed that informing the crew would have created a lot of extra stress before completing the flight.
Yah! I mean, the L-1011 pilots could've been looking at something while the DC-10 was approaching, but then it passed within 100'... turbulence, noise, shock wave maybe? Amazing TWA's guys didn't pick up on it. Not that they were responsible for any of it...
The video didn't say anything about what caused the damage to the AA DC-10. Might have been if the AA was in a climb and caught jet blast from the L-1011? Would like to have seen it in the vid.
Both pilots of the AA flight had to buy new under drawers as the old ones were shart in!
Visibility out of the cockpit is notoriously lousy. Coupled with a closing speed of @800 mph and you have mere seconds visually acquire the conflicting traffic, evaluate the potential danger and take appropriate actuation.
The ATC tech in Cleveland should have been fired and blacklisted so they could not work in ATC ever again. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE.
More evidence of SLOPPY human error that could easily have killed over 600 people. I completely agree with you.
Debbie Kirby It says (he) multiple times, Ms. PC.
Debbie Kirby Political correctness... a cancer on our society.
Halcyon Outlander The term, “Snowflake,” was coined by those who typically abhor political correctness, so that’s an interesting choice of insult for you to use here.
Amen!! I would say that almost letting two planes collide head on just because you wanted to do other stuff or go take a #2 is more than a fireable offense! He's lucky he didn't get slapped with worse than what he got.
That was very scary. If the didn't avoid each other. Everyone on both planes would have killed. No telling how many people on the ground would have killed or injured.
Not to mention it was just a couple of days before Thanksgiving.
So a DC-10 vs an L-1011?
Also i can safely assume that TCAS wasn't a thing yet at the time
TheAmir259 not until after the Aeromexico crash
@TheAmir259
It was a long way off really. You have to remember too that there were a LOT less commercial planes in the air back then especially in the USA so in theory it wasn't as critical except for when it is.
No, TCAS did not happen until the 80's...
After PSA 182 mid air collision in San Diego did TCAS really be used and required
TCAS was mandated to go into operation in 1992, which it did. The technology of the time was barely adequate--early TCAS onboard computers used two 486 processors to make it happen. Also, the Mode S transponder made coordination of maneuvers between airplanes possible, but TCAS can recognize any A/C transponder and avoid those reporting altitude. If enacted today, an airborne anti-collison system would doubtless use ADS-B and GPS, but the TCAS-transponder system has proven itself effective many times. I do not think we will ever know how many incidents it has prevented.
Hey man. I read your comment earlier about flight school. I've been watching your videos forever now and I am really happy for you. You seem very passionate about flying and I am glad that you will get to experience it! I'm sure you'll do great.
*Seemed that this L1011 was star crossed, creepy how almost ten years later it has another incident but yet all the passengers survived in both. Miracles do happen.*
The miracle was the one done by the designers of the plane, all the lethal crashes of the TriStar I know about had been due to such a chain of errors and misbehaviours you'd say it was done on purpose, just to know how further might you've pushed it because it was too much to handle.
watershed44 the first incident was 1975 the second was 1992 so 17 years apart. Js
@Richard Speranza
Correct, I kept thinking I remember the video saying 1984...thanks.
In any case still a weird coincidence about the fact that two serious incidents happened and NO ONE was seriously injured or killed.
@TenorCantusFirmus
So you are saying that any crash of the L-1011 was the result of
flyboy or top gun antics of the pilots? wow. I suppose anything is possible though because I agree that the 1011 was probably one of the safest large commercial aviation craft ever produced until this very day!!!!!
watershed44 also extremely expensive to the point that it cost too much money for it to be a relevant airplane.
I love that music during the post flight investigation analysis. It really evokes emotion and a sense of human fallibility.
As a result did the ATC have his “World’s Best Dad” coffee mug taken away or something... anything?
haha
Nope. Vacation to Florida.
Now that's funny, I tell you what.
Nice vid, Allec! I'd never heard of this incident. Reminds me of that Japan Air one where the 747 and DC-10 almost collided. You'd think this mess-up would've gotten them to develop TCAS. Guess not. Everyone lived- that's what matters. Good job by the AA pilot to act speedily...
What did you do with the time you saved not typing eo?
They had TCAS, but the 747 TCAS commanded to climb, but ATC commanded to descend, and the pilots descended. The DC-10 TCAS commanded to descend, so the pilots descended.
@@K1OIK: Now THAT was funny! Just like the morons that type "n" for "and"..... annoys the hell out of me...
Reminds me more of the Bashkirian Airlines collision with the DHL cargo plane over Germany, where ATC let them collide, but pilots were confused between their last second ATC commands vs what TCAS was telling them to do. Had the second plane been ordered to ascend, would they have done it for sure?
@@smartysmarty1714 They try to be so cool and that their time is so much more valuable they must use abbreviations
I was on a TWA L-1011 out of STL in 1973 on the way to LA when about halfway along there was the sounds of "oohs and Ahh's" as an American DC-10 passed by us about 1 mile to our south and about 1000' higher going the other way. First time I had ever seen another airplane at cruise. Later we passed a forest fire over Arizona and the Captain pointed it out banking left so passengers got a good view and banking right to correct. He did that at least three times. Those were the good old days! I was only 10 years old and so fascinated!
I always have my belt on unless I need a toilet break. Scary stuff.
I remember when this happened. It was the Wednesday before Thanksgiving 1975.
That ATC should have been fired! Great video!👍❤️✈️
When I flew to the Philippines, as I was looking out the window, I saw a jet coming at us, and it was FAST. But it was definitely 1000 feet or so, below us. It's just that if it was at, or near, the same altitude as us, reaction time to evade was EXTREMELY limited. Very good video, Allec.
I’ve seen that several times while in flight. Now that there’s TCAS, it’s not as risky.
JimmyB In RVSM airspace 1,000 feet vertically is all that’s required for IFR separation. Rarely do I fly a leg that there isn’t someone crossing out with me 1000’ above or below.
It would be cool if somebody did a channel like yours but about ships and ship disasters.
The pilot's underwear did not survive.

@@smartysmarty1714 "ID LIKE TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY"
This was when my dad was flying DC-10s for AA but don’t recall him mentioning this - he was slightly older than this captain and flying the coveted Caribbean routes instead of coast to coast.
I flew on the L-1011 many times as a kid and teenager. It is my favorite commercial aircraft of all time.
Beautiful and spacious too. Lots of leg room. Now we do Philly to Orlando in a boring A-319 while being slowly crushed to death and smelling the Pantene on the person in front of you.
I've been in the back of two A320's and I can confirm.
Seeing a plane coming at me in mid air....I cannot imagine.
@Sharron Unger
Indeed, so little time to react. I'm sure the capt, F.O. saw their lives flash before them!!!!!
"I'd check on that."
Let me grab a ruler to take the distance in inches
The other plane was at his assigned level sir. YOU were the one at the incorrect altitude. SMH
Anyone who can manage that level of understatement after such an experience has my respect!
@@allgrainbrewer10 no he wasn't lmao
another well thought out and interesting video...I hope ypour making some money for all this hard work
Nicely done as always. It must have been a terrifying experience!
Very interesting & informative video! Thank you, Allec.
I'm glad to see both planes avoided the mid-air crash!
Another fantastic video Allec. There's another mid-air collision that's kind of gone un-noticed really. A BEA Trident collided with an Inex-Adria Aviopromet DC-9 over Yugoslavia in 1976. Be good to see that if you need any ideas for further video's
It's important to note, for non-pilots? Back in that day it was before what we call "Mode-C' altitude reporting by the transponders to the ATC RADAR. Also, WAY before GPS accuracy, which includes both lateral AND vertical info. ALSO before TCAS...One more thing? Above FL 230 (or 23,000 feet) in the U.S. we operated with a minimum of 2,000 feet vertical separation, and this was accomplished by using certain altitudes, whether mostly Eastbound or Westbound. Nowadays? We comply with (because of better more accurate pitot-static systems, more modern) with 1,000 foot separation standards, EVEN when above 23,000 (FL230). Courses that are mostly Westbound use EVEN altitude numbers, Eastbound Odd numbers. This has been a tradition for decades. Private/Student pilots learn this...except when they fly VFR at lower altitudes, this is why they cruise at 500-foot intervals.
The real event of DC-10 vs L-1011
imagine liking a DC-10 over an L-1011.
Love the pfp
What! That initial Air Traffic Controller ASSUMED that he could prevent a possible collision! The second controller's quick action was a touch of divine intervention.

good one, Allec.
Great work !
The L-1011 was evidently cursed. Considering the odds of a commercial aircraft crashing are extremely low. And this one was nearly destroyed once and finally destroyed later.
Awesome Allec!👍👍
You know what they say about ASS-U-ME ... and that would have been a collision over downriver Detroit, a heavily populated area. Damn, I shudder to think ... 😱
Like 2X that Bronx crash.
I think both planes would be vaporized. The only thing people on the ground would see is little pieces fluttering to the ground.

Two of the most beautiful aircraft designs ever built. Great job providing the history of each ship, post near miss.
thanks Allec for another great video. that was a pretty close call. two planes coming within 100 feet of each other.
Exactly why the only time my seatbelt is coming off is if I’m walking to the bathroom.
Pardon my ignorance but what is that brown section on the fuselage at 8:06?
Great Channel 🖒
Thanks, Josh.
Another great video, Allec!
8:15 Air Force One! (the old one, anyway)
The words "Flight 182" and "mid-air incident" makes me think immediately of San Diego. RIP the victims.
On a lighter note, this video reminded me of a editorial cartoon from the early 1980s, when collision avoidance was finally getting a serious look by the aviation industry after near-misses like this one, and tragic actual collisions: passengers in the cabin are looking out their windows in terror, while one of them says "how come that flight gets steak and we only get chicken?!"
It's good that only the pilot of one plane reacted, had both pilots reacted in the same manner i.e pushing the yokes in same direction, i think a mid air collision would have occured.
It would have been pretty much like the Überlingen collision in 2002 if you ask me.
8:06 what the heck did Raytheon do to this bird?
I know what the hell was that
@@roblaa3198 www.globalsecurity.org/space/systems/wasp.htm "Widebody Airborne Sensor Platform (WASP) is an airborne system housed in a modified DC-10. It has ultra high frequency satellite communication and performs target acquisition and tracking." Pretty sure this is what they were doing
Morgan Brown Yowsa!!
Rip Captain Eby, who died at the age of 102 in July 2021.
I remember when I was a kid back in the 90's I was sleeping on the floor and some other aeroplane flew over us, we heard it ..
had to go to comment section to find out about the damage and injury details from what i assume was the swift descent. no mention in the video captions. thanks andy g.
Considering it was a DC-10, I'm surprised the plane didn't somehow ignore the captian's inputs and then crash right into the TWA plane.
Legend has it that controller, after this incident, went on to keep screwing up orders in the McDonald's drive thru.
Imagine if both of the planes pitched downwards to avoid it
Thank god that everyone on board American flight 182 and TWA flight 37 survived. If the American DC-10 pilot's didn't respond when they saw a L-1011 in front of their own eyes. It would be a huge mid-air disaster and everyone on board and including TWA flight 37 perished. It was one of the earliest mid-air incidents way before 2002 Uberlingen Mid-Air Collision that everyone on board perished.
Neil Herrera it was actually the ATC who first saw the two planes approaching each other and ordered AA182 to lower the aircraft to 330.
Richard Speranza while the TWA also decided to descend.
I wonder what stories the aircraft we fly on have to tell...
Thank God the pilots and crew were so experienced
Question: while flying from West Palm Beach to NY I’m looking out the window . It’s a clear day. I see another jet plane going opposite way. I thought that it was kind of close. It was a bit lower. And maybe 5 hundred feet away. What constitutes too close?
Standard verticle sepration 1000 feet - it can look a lot closer
I often wonder how many times near misses occur and how many go unreported. About six years ago I was on an Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Berlin and while idly looking out the window somewhere over Europe I saw a speck approach and in a flash another aircraft had passed beneath us . I’m fairly good with distance and I’m guessing we were separated by about 200 feet , I was able to see the pilot for a nano second as he passed beneath. I gave an involuntary gasp as the two aircraft passed and the guys in the seats in front of me and behind me asked if I had seen what they had as they too believed we’d had a near miss . I didn’t say anything to any cabin crew as they were busy and most likely would have been unaware of anything untoward and so I just left it . For months afterwards I searched the CAA website for reports of near misses involving my flight but found nothing , however, I was slightly perturbed by the number of actual reported near misses involving other flights.
Talk about a close call. 😳
This was great! No one hurt and a complete ending. Excellent!
31 injuries including all 10 flight attendants.
THANK GOD BOTH SISTERS AVOIDED MID AIR COLLISION AND THX 4 POSTING !
Was there some firing as far as Air Traffic Control?
Very good job. What flight simulator do you use? For example, I’ll start doing crash animations in a while with X-Plane, but do you use FSX or what? Also, how did you get the L1011 to be on your route and/or viceversa. Was it multiplayer or something? Anyway, whilst I don’t really like the simulator’s cockpit design, I have to say you edit very well 👏 good job 👍!
This is a 2 jumbo trijet near collision in mid-air 2 plane was just 3 year-old
at 4:25 I think my heart stopped for a moment
I am so glad that everybody survived
Me too!
My 5th grade teacher always said “When you assume, you make an ‘ass’ of ‘u’ and ‘me’”. I have always tried to life my life by that truth. True in 1974, true today
Another way of putting it is 'Assumption is the mother of all f**kups!'
Brilliant, I like it, Politicians are full of Assumptions, Remember that at your next election program
Great vlog as always! Have you done the BEA Trident and Adria DC-9 over Yugoslavia in 1974? There was a movie made. I have seen it here on YT.
Wow, that was frightening. Never assume.
Human error, the two most frightening words in commercial aviation. The controller who almost sent over 300 people to a horrible death probably wasn't fired because of a strong labor union that President Reagan would later destroy. I used to love the livery of TWA at that time, especially on that plane. Classic. Great video as usual!
What is really interesting about these two aircraft is the were the first of the wide bodied type and were in direct competition for the same market.
Thanks for the video. Good choice of music.
Ibay is the master!!
I feel like the music is very effective in these videos . So weird how the L1011 was destroyed in an accident years later.
In the airplane graveyard beside the dc10 is a Boeing 707 in airforce styling. Is that a former airforce 1 plane? Curious
Phew! So thankful these two planes didn't collide! That was scary just watching it all these years later.
A DC-10 incident that WASN'T the Aircraft's fault!!! 😲
Seriously, outstanding Airmanship by that Crew! That's the kind of seat-of-the-pants Flying that's too rare in the Fly by the book ONLY that many Pilots rely on.
Can you insert the actual
ATC recordings in these? When we hear the voices it makes it much better imo. You do make great videos, adding the actual
Conversation would make them superb!
I do not think it is digitally recorded, or even recorded at all anywhere today (recording was much harder back then)
You have to remember that for some crashes and incidents the cvr are not released to the public domain.
fai_f I understand that. I’m only asking for when they’re available to insert them.
The first controller saw the collision course but forgot to mention it to the new controller, what could go wrong?..Luckily the new controller was on the ball and spotted it and ordered an immediate descent..
I'm sure the first controller will make lots of friends in the dole queue.
Nope. Government job, he probably got promoted, then filed a PTSD claim and retired with disability.
Why didnt each plane bank to its respective right rather than trying to leap frog over another?
We set our clock in Ocean Beach Ca........you knew it was about noon, when a Delta L10-11 came screaming over looking for the Pacific.
This landed in my 'recommended for you' as "Bad Ass." I thought "wha?"
What damage was done to the plane? You say at the end it was "repaired" and put back in service but you never mentioned any damage.
ThweThe agressive dive probably caused minor damage.
The ceiling of the cabin is made of panels in a dc10, so the tiles were knocked out of place by the passengers going airborne into the ceiling
jaim haas It’s all in the NTSB report.
www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/AAR7603.pdf
You’re cleared Flight Level 370. Meh. I do what I want, when I want.
Larry John What? The pilots involved were all complying with the clearances they had been issued.
HEDGE1011 really? Did he ever get to his assigned flight level?
Larry John He never got to FL370 because he was still climbing to it when the incident occurred...which was in compliance with the clearance he’d been given.
HEDGE1011 so it’s back to my original post. Meh. I’ll get there when I get there. It is unclear from this video if he took longer than normal. From the controllers reaction, he’s climbing too slow. Hence the title Bad Assumptions
Larry John Again, all pilots were operating within the clearances issued by ATC. That there was a controller error here is not in doubt.
Hi Allec. Another white knuckled, edge of the seat, didn't see that one coming, both literally and figuratively! Excellent vid. Well done!
Greetings from South Africa 👋🇿🇦
What did you do with the time you saved not typing eo?
Another 4 year old comment.. with a person nitpicking about there being no “eo” in “vid”. Seriously, why the fuck.
The aircraft "boneyard" mentioned in this video is Davis-Monthan AFB.
Yes, that's what it said in the video. Well done.
@@Catcrumbs : The video referred to the AFB as "David-Motham", not Davis-Monthan. "Well done."
I like the way this guy shows the biography of the actual aircraft. When she was born, how she lived and how she retired or in this case died. The crawl went too fast to read what happened to the ATC . I think I would have fired him and or made him relearn it properly. I'm gathering he was a bit beyond it though, he assumed too much and too 9ften. It's always in the ' great assumption ' when things go badly wrong. I'm amazed at how many people do it! In every seminar or course on how to do business you're cautioned strongly against assuming. It's just so stupid.
If I was the air traffic controller I'd probably quit after something like that.
And hopefully not end up like Peter Nielsen.

Indeed, I would have personally written letters of apology to all the passengers, flight crew and co-workers and never set foot in a tower ever again. I would never forget the potential catastrophic event I might have put into motion.
