Pilot here. An aircraft can fly with no engines. Airspeed must be maintained to keep the wings flying. A turn of the aircraft requires additional airspeed to avoid stalling of the wings, and will result in additional loss of altitude. An aircraft can glide, ie: it will move forward so many feet, as it also moves downward so many feet. This is called the lift over drag ratio of the aircraft. In my humble opinion, the best advice was to keep the wings level, to maintain the proper airspeed and to choose a landing space directly ahead. Trees will indeed "cushion" a landing. Trees can be a blessing in disguise. Personally, I would not have put the landing gear down, as this creates extra drag, and also creates something for the trees to grab onto, during a landing. But in any event, the landing was successful, the aircraft flew with no engines operating, as all aircraft are designed to do. The crew maintained their cool, they did the best thing they could do, and they landed safely. BRAVO to the crew.
No pilot starts out their statement by saying “Pilot here” you’re a google pilot nothing more, most famous for piloting between two pages on the internet for copy and paste.
Agreed, the landing gear wont serve any benefit landing in a wooded area or deep snow. The advantage to not having the engines hanging off the wing would make belly landing perhaps less destructive in deep snow.
I have nothing but the highest respect for Captain Rasmussen. That being said, I would fly with him as pilot any day. He saved lives. It is an absolute shame he is no longer a captain, as he is probably the epitome of what a captain SHOULD be. Also, he seems remarkably humble... A nice trait...
Just to add on.... Captain Rasmussen no longer flying is a loss to the aviation industry. He should be an instructor, letting others know the "right" way to fly. His story is one of success, and should be a celebration of his career. I don't care if he trains upcoming Cessna or Piper pilots, his background stands strong. I would love to have a beer with this man and as per my previous comment, I would feel safe flying on ANY plane he captains.
Can we add to that his ability to be a humble person? I mean this man saved lives, and never makes any mention of it... I REALLY want to buy this man a beer...
Rasmussen shouldn’t feel badly. He got everyone down safe and remained in control when it was necessary. His temperament was such that rebounding proved too difficult. It seems God closed the door to him flying commercially, or maybe even at all. But God always opens some other door. He was old enough to retire from the airlines and focus on other aspects of life.
Most passengers, Including myself, do not realize how important and well trained (focused) cabin flight crews are until an in air or ground emergency is encountered.
@@susiearviso3032 Who told you this? The belts are bolted to the seats and the seats locked onto place. So where you get your faulty and dangerous information?
And it really brings out what was not trained in or known as well! They have to know all aspects of their planes whether others think it does not matter or not. The captain was so happy when he was able to figure out the source of the confusion finally. He knew that his brain was intact and that it was not that that could be blamed. They could not blame him.
It’s totally amazing that everybody survived. That’s because the great piloting skills, well trained cabin crew, resoponsr time of emergency crews and possibly construction of the airplane itself. I’m talking about the strength of the fuselage, etc I think we should put God himself in too.
Yes, they think that "forcing" something that could go wrong because of the pilot is not something the "stupid" pilot does not need to know about. But good pilots know better than the "forced" command that comes out no matter what the damage. Pilots always need to know what they may need to override!
What's more important? The lives of hundreds of Passengers and crew or the noise experienced by people who choose to live near an airport? The ATR Is an example of " over- think" , where the engineers don't think through the ramifications of their actions. Then, to not let the pilots and carriers know?. Too bad flogging is outlawed.
Recently I flew to Paris from Washington. Before the departure the captain of the plane was walking around the cabin and door to the cockpit was wide open! I peeked and chat with the crew. Later I realized that I wasn’t supposed to do that. Nevertheless that was a highlight of my trip to Paris more than anything.
I drove a tractor trailer in Northern United States and always tried to clear snow and ice off the top of the vehicles but at our terminal we had contraptions you could drive thru to clean off snow and then a mechanic who would have a safety harness on clean off the rest but when I would be out on the road there was not a safe way to clear it off by myself !
Watching and hearing him and his voice break.... I wouldn't have liked to have been in any of their shoes. But the captain, the live of his life, flying, wants a divorce, and is taking the kids. THAT'S the level of heartbreak there. It's sad. And they're wanting ONE polit to fly in the future? Tell me how they'd cope here? And these pilots by chance had ANOTHER pilot on the flight. No way would I fly in one of the worst ideas to cut costs EVER, since Bo3ing hid the design defect that crashed their planes. Collateral damage?? Pffr
1991 - Major Aircraft Manufacturer adds a feature (ATR) without telling anyone about it, causing an accident. 1994 - Major Aircraft Manufacturer is bought out by another major aircraft manufacturer. 2019 - Major Aircraft Manufacturer adds a feature (MCAS) without telling anyone about it, causing an accident. Welcome to history repeating itself.
I flew on a DC 10 and remember vividly we dropped out of the sky and then the pilots got control but I told myself I will never fly on one of those again
Amazing that no one died. And gee another system that operators didnt know about leads to a crash. Seems like Boeing (737 Max) isnt the only one doing that lol
It sure seems like the flight industries use the word ( IF ) an awlful lot whenever they're describing a major airline crash,,,, to me, that's what is the number one thing that' I would call ,,, a disaster !
The Bible tells us we must humble ourselves but in a situation like this, a sprinkle of ego/ esteem/ FAITH would be acceptable. God Bless this crew, thank you God for the safe outcome of all passengers on board.
@YTCensors clearly you’re the one with the issue but thanks for sharing them and I hope these random chats, with complete strangers will see you through. You should shoot for standard diary instead of walking around bleeding all over everyone (less embarrassing too). Please don’t jump.
@YTCensors LOL! Were you trying to hurt my lil ol feelings!! LOL!!!!! if you had any friends they’d tell you how much fun it is, to laugh AT YOU! LOL! I appreciate your willingness to be my source of entertainment. Come back ANY TIME
Easy for me now, yet reality, no sooner an engine gives out, call tower immediately and given having just took off, easy to get back to down. To still try to fly on, no, as problems to accumulate and also, further a way reduces possible safe landing.
OMG, watching how this flight crew handled the surging engines and then the emergency procedures after loss of power was painful,, Thank goodness for the captain riding as a passenger and being forward with the captain and F.O. I'm sure, I hope,,, the training for SAS is better than what this portrayed in 1991.
The investigators should be investigated for not ensuring that some hiearchy as their own investigative agency didn't provide updated info on the throttle managent sys. These investigative agencies sit on their asses until something happens and then their pious index finger, and arms become a rigid beam while pointing and frowning at the human accident cause. I thought this very thing after seeing AA 1191 prang in Chicago. I knew, AA knew, the FAA knew and the manufacturer knew why the engine filed a different flight plan than the rest of the airplane.
I don’t know anything about flying a plane but we’re going to use logic here when you have to make a decision on behalf of 100+ passengers. Why didn’t the pilot call air control sooner when the first engine went out. They just got in the air and could’ve told air controller were going to circle around until we get clearance to land and see what’s wrong with the engine. 2. Why continue flying when airport is right there. Because you waited on calling you lose the 2nd and last engine and still didn’t call right away. Then when you did call after the second engine by wasting time your radio when out in middle of speaking with air controller because it’s located in one of the engines. He did everything but eight. If it wasn’t for the pilot seated in passenger he wouldn’t keep looking ahead as the pilot continue saying watch ahead to find a landing spot. Oh no the pilot thought the plane can land on the frozen Baltic Sea and they will be safe. How are you going to be safe when the plane’s heat will melt the ice and then passengers will drown under the ice. Thank god for the passenger pilot and 1st officer because the pilot thought he knew what he was doing. Nevertheless, I’m glad nobody died. Now let me continue watching at the airport waiting on my flight to board.🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
The prayers were answered, and the grace and mercy of G-d had a hand in this landing with not a single death. Christ was amongst those praying, and the Word saved the lives of these people.
The crew were very unprofessional in this instance . They made no mayday call ,they didn't make sure that the passenger captain was seated, and they didn't evacuate the air plane properly.They just...wandered out of the reckage. They also failed to shut down the obviously badly damaged engines in the first place.
Everyone's an expert on the internet and when they're not the ones in a life and death situation 🙄 Everyone lived and the investigation didn't find them at fault. One of them were even knocked out. U weren't even there so how do u know they included literally everything these pilots did in this episode meant for tv where they edit everything and decide what to include and what to leave out? Talk about disrespect to the pilots. It's sad how all u focus on is what they "didn't" do vs what they did do which is save every passenger on that plane.
@Missy Keating's Some people love acting like they were there and that they know everything after watching a video on youtube. They'd rather focus on what they think the pilots didn't do vs what they actually did which was save everyone on the plane.
I've said this before; There's too much automation in planes. Pilots are there to do one job. Fly the plane. The more systems you put in an aircraft to do the pilots job, the more safe you try to make them, the less control the pilots have over their plane, and this is the result. There should never, EVER be a system in a plane that prevents the pilot from doing what he is trained to do in a given situation. No company should have a louder voice than the person behind the controls. Money can get a plane off the ground, but a pilot keeps it in the air.

Absolutely, pushing the nose up into the forest & using it as a massive brake, then the stop-dime landing in the only safe spot. Bravo!

“Stockholm, Scandinavian Airlines, we’re crashing into the ground now.” Chilling words.
This reminds me of The Miracle on the Hudson.”
Definitely has same energy of "We can't make it we are going to end up in the Hudson"
Admire the Captain's faith, humility & skill.

Pilot did a good job. He shouldnt feel bad, I dont think they train pilots how to crash land. He did the best he could and it was good enuf!
I don't think I've ever seen the crew, including the captain and Co pilot give their input from a previous incident. Wow.
Probably bc most people don’t survive to talk about it

Yep and look at what happen with the ATR in Nepal
Amazing landing by the pilot.
I miss the open door to the flight deck.
its only possible in a high trust homogenous society.

@@paulcanon5533 and we never will
I had the exact same thought.
That's a miracle
Pretty sure inadequate training and third world pilots caused that accident but i could be wrong
I find it hard to believe that they would just call the tower and say they need to go back to the airport. That would be a Mayday, mayday, mayday.
Someone was looking over them that day!!!
The aircraft was not a DC-9 it was actully an MD-81. Its basically a newer version of the DC-9.
Yes that's a DC-9²
technically it's a DC-9-81 :P
@@OwlRTA yes, 9² is 81
That's 9 X 9=81
I remember when my parents always talk among themselves saying the McDonnell Douglas DC-9s and DC-10s were flying death traps.
We flew from US to Europe & back quite a lot in the 70s with no probs thankfully.
Well, you heard wrong. And your parents didn't know anything about them. Hearsay isn't truth, dumb dumb.
I flew on a DC 10 and remember vividly we dropped out of the sky and then the pilots got control but I told myself I will never fly on one of those again
The engines in the back seemed to be a bad design. Most engines nowadays are under the wings on big jumbo jets
I am so glad Captain Bah Humbug was onboard to help with this emergency. Makes up for all those Christmases. Ya mean?
It seems to me the Safety Board was trying to blame the Captain.
The Captain is a HERO to me! The other crew members are too.
God(s) bless these Great Pilot's and their Crew for preforming a marical after the planes manufacturer set them up for a disaster ! Bless you all !
