![Airbus A320 Crashes in Pakistan | Here's What Really Happened to Flight 8303 [Real Audio]](/img/n.gif)
Hearing the pilots voices made this even tougher to watch. They did everything they could with what they were given.
They struggled so hard to keep their plane going. But even the best pilots cannot control a defective plane. So often, crappy, unauthorized, improper repairs & maintenance are just too much. AA191, That Alaska Air flight, the JAL 747 rear bulkhead failure and others.
I choke every time I hear ATC ask how many souls onboard.
@@gusm5128 and what would you have done differently?
@@jsquire5pa They we're doing everything they could/shoud have done.
But with the increased drag any attempt at landing anywhere may have resulted in disaster. They needed to maintain high speed to overcome the drag of the left hand prop. And you cannot land at high speed.
Also the right engine could not sustain high speed/load for very long by itself. Once that left prop had jammed in a high drag position, they we're doomed whatever they did.
Maybe Gus M would have climbed out on the wing and fixed the prop with his bare hands.
@@Kris_T_ why didn't they flame out the engine no.1 tho? I think planes are capable of running on one engine.
I don't really know much about planes and I didn't understand this video fully but, I was just thinking about that.
If you could briefly explain what happened to me thatd be kind of you too.
Imagine being a passenger and see your plane go into a roll. May everyone who died on that tragic day Rest In Peace.
I can't imagine being on a plane that was Crashing anyway!!! I would more or less know that I was going to die!!
Great job bringing to life blackbox recordings for better understanding of flight tragedies to help prevent from repeating in the future ...
I’d be filling my pants without question.
If there is an afterlife, I would _not_ rest in peace. I'd look for the people whose shoddy care resulted in death or just get revenge on the airline owners.
I have been. We were landing during an ice storm in Mason City, IA when we were SLAMMED with a wind gust (little Saab, much smaller than the ATR). I thought I was about to die and it was oddly peaceful as I was laying flat against the window and watching the runway approach... though judging by the screams and loss of bowel control by others; it was not a shared sentiment. Our pilots were able to regain control and keep it until we were able to land safely. Incredible save by two pilots in their early 20s making 19k a year.
All crashes are sad and nobody deserves being killed in a crash, but this crew really had deserved another outcome. After first recovering, I hoped so much that they would make it safely to the airport.
That's what they are trained to do. Fly to the bitter end. Just like Japan Airlines 123, or Alaska Airlines 261, or United Airlines 232 (although they had a somewhat better ending).
Oh, I can think of a few people who I'd gladly put up into an ill-fated flight. You can't? Really?
There was nothing they could've done. That's just unfair.
@@bogdan_n Have you watched Western flight 2605? If not, watch it. The black box recording is horrifying
I really thought they would have made it, when they gained control. May their souls Rest In Peace
These pilots did all they could to cope with a very confusing set of circumstances. I am a retired airline pilot with 30,000 hours and I don’t think I could have done any better than these guys. I have always said there are a million ways to die in an aircraft and I just learned that there are now a million and one ways. RIP to these brave pilots who performed well in a difficult situation.
30,000 hours!
Good Lord! Did you start flying at 16 years of age? 😇
I started at 26 years of age, and have just recently hung up my wings at 14,500 hours.......
@@albertchehade9916 that's what i said to myself the most I've heard of is right around 20,000 and that's extremely rare, I don't think I've ever heard of anybody with 30,000 hours!!
@American Patriot
😇
@@badmonkey2222
Indeed....😇
For someone who's not a pilot and is ignorant of what is a lot of flying hours, what amount of hours do commercial pilots generally fly per week?
Even in the toughest conditions pilots are treating the ATC with much respect and calling atc controller as Sir Sir... Respect to the pilots from India
ATC controllers at Islamabad ATC at the time were Air force Officers.The pilots were Civilians.You should judge the conversation in that context.
@@khalidkhan-om8ud oh nice info thanku...
As a passenger, I'm terrified even boarding the plane and check out the pilot and co-pilot visually. Not too old? Not too young? Not drunk? But I see from these videos that there are many other factors, maintenance for one. Is there a way to tell visually when boarding if I'm safe on this aircraft?? Probably no, but just asking the voices of experience here.
@@robynzelickson6164 There is, by making maintenance protocolls public.
@@fragileomniscience7647 yes, that would be great. I wish they would do that. A pilot that I was talking with once at the gate basically told me the same thing. I decided that maintenance is more of an issue for pilots than anything.
"Standby Pakistan 661" the panic in pilot's voice is just heart breaking. I've heard this cockpit recording so many times since the crash but it still sinks my heart.
It was a national tragedy for us. Including all precious souls on board was our beloved Junaid Jamshed. I can't believe this was in 2016 because it feels like it happened yesterday. May all the souls aboard Pakistan 661 find eternal peace 💔
What else can you expect from PIA?
Yes those last words break my heart too. He was looking at the approaching mountain as he spoke those. Ah....what a horrific tragedy in every way.
This is truly one of the most badass and professional displays of airmanship. All air crashes are tragedies but after what these champs went through, and the way they kept it together to the end, they really really deserved to walk away from this one😔
Props to the professional ATC too.
Professional display of airmanship would cut power (fuel delivery) to the failed engine, and feather its blades...
@@denysvlasenko1865 sometimes the easiest solution is the right one. Most times anyway.
@@denysvlasenko1865 easy to comment on what they should have done from the comfort of your home.
Disagree on the atc...too nonchalant.
@@denysvlasenko1865 If you watched the whole thing, that prop wouldn't feather. They tried. I've flown steam-gauge airplanes for 53 years, most without autopilots, and would have landed under no power for sure after the first loss of control, although I think I'd have reduced the power on the good engine and found a clearing to set it down in even before that! Damaged airplane, yes, but walk away, yes also!
A bunch of heroes in that cockpit. I’m always surprised at how calm they can speak when you can hear the urgency and fear in their voice. God bless them and the souls on board.
Agreed completely. The cockpit crew handled the situation with incredible calm. May they all rest in peace.
how are they heroes?
spiderman verse< the pilots are gone here
My heart sank when the plane broke from that stuck left turn to a sudden deep right spin under consistent control inputs. You just know the pilots are fighting in the dark when the plane is randomly changing its own aerodynamic characteristics without warning. They didn't crack, they fought bravely to keep flying until the bitter end. 🥀
Read your comment made me go in to a deeper sad.😢
So touching..
Those pilots deserve some honors for their bravery
@@fajrinaaulia honor?? These brave pilots were labelled as fake pilots by our scumbag corrupt aviation minister. Just listen to their communication and decide whether they are fake pilots?
@@HamzaKhan-zb5up no it was hard Situation to be in. Very sad accident
I don't understand the video captions at that point, I think maybe they are wrong. It says they advanced power on the #2 (right) engine, but that also pitch decreased on that same engine, which then it says caused an immediate loss of drag from the #1 engine? Pretty sure this was supposed to say that the prop on the left, #1 engine suddenly feathered which caused the loss of drag, which would have caused the roll to the right since they were at that moment feeding in excessive right rudder input to counteract the drag that was there while also counteracting the additional left yaw component caused by high power on the right (#2) engine.
@@seeingeyegod It looks like the caption has a typo (somewhere over TYPO... sorry). It was a very complex situation, one far outside the pilots' understanding at the time. I believe the records indicate that, before the right spin, the pilots had reduced #2 power in an attempt to counteract the increasing left turn and high bank angle brought on by the high-drag condition of the #1 engine, fearing a stall or inversion. I think the goal was probably just to level the plane and correct the heading, and they were holding right rudder as well. In doing so, however, their airspeed dropped further, which they had not been monitoring well during the earlier stages of the flight. After something like 20 seconds of reduced #2 power, they received a stall warning and throttled up. Possibly due to the very low airspeed/stall, the #1 prop finally feathered again and they rolled to the right. Picking up airspeed again after the spin, the #1 prop again settled into a high drag state.
This was a harsh one. After the roll there was a sense that they had got things under control again, even in a damaged aircraft. And then, even with the best effort and knowledge, and all their experience, because of shoddy maintenance, it was impossible for them to control the aeroplane. The plane was working against them the whole time.
It just shows how long the chain is to keep aeroplanes airworthy, and when you get on one, how many hundreds of people are involved in making your flight safe. The other scary thing is: you have no idea what is going on behind the cockpit doors, and the decisions being made to make sure the plane gets down safely. Pilots are a breed apart, when it comes to managing high risk situations.
They're death certificate was signed by that uncanny human tendency to ASSUME A RETURN TO NORMALCY WILL SOLVE ABNORMAL SITUATIONS... they kept wanting to call and response with ATC get landing vectors and go thru that whole song and dance... like it was their desire to live wishing in vain getting into some normal routine would save their abnormal flight... Unfortunately no.
Well said 👍😔
That does it for me... I ain't flying again
@@darrinsiberia I don't think they could ve done any better
And now after watching many of these excellent videos, I’m even more unsure of flying. Knowing about so many of the little, tiny problems that could possibly occur, causing a total disaster, it seems like every single flight is a almost miracle of sorts.
A crash that was no fault of the pilots, who recovered from a complete 360 degree roll in a passenger airplane. Absolutely astounding airmanship. Yet there is nothing they could do when the plane was literally uncontrollable.
Excellent documentary, as always. And I love the inclusion of the audio clips in the videos. Really drives home how real these events are.
They could just switch off failed engine.
@@denysvlasenko1865 I don't think turboprops have a break on the engine.
@@Hunter4042012 Do you really think there is no way to turn off the engine? How do you think planes stop after they land?
@@denysvlasenko1865 If you have no way to control the pitch of the props, it will windmill. Windmills are things that when moving air is applied to them they rotate, this is the reverse of a propeller. Without a system to apply some sore a friction to the props or to feather them correctly they just keep spinning
There may be too much programmed "automatic" flying. Pilots should have complete control
of their planes from takeoff to landing. This is the down side of that.
Pilots fought till the bitter end. The control was also professionally handling the situation but didn't end to anyone's advantage. Mind boggling is the fact that investigators pinpointed the cause being "unauthorised maintenance" but nobody could ever fix the responsibility over whoever did that.
RIP brave pilots for fighting tooth and nail to try saving the unfortunate souls onboard.
The comment about "unauthorized maintenance " just gave me chills. Credit due to those pilots, seeing those mountains and realizing the inevitable. The chaos in the cabin... As always, super professional. RIP to the passengers and condolences to the families and friend.
In Pakistan, what would you expect ? these are the people who dangle from buses as they drive on the side of a mountain, with the road big enough for one car.......
@@linanicolia1363 that was 4 years ago pia maintaince is much better now
@@muddasir7479 but mentality never changes......
AND undocumented.
@@muddasir7479 Hello president of PIA 😉😂
The aircraft rolling from side to side at 360 degrees had to be most terrifying for everyone aboard. God bless those who passed away :(
Imagine the number of passengers that probably didn't have their seatbelts on. What you don't get from these videos is the *noise* that must've followed from the plane suddenly spinning 360°. The terrifying screams of people falling around up into the roof and down into the seats. The sounds of everything in the cabin, including baggage, cutlery and jackets going in all directions. The desperate pleas for God to help them.
Fucking terrifying.
@@TheWolfwiththeDragon I know I can't imagine the terror of all those people aboard. I think the same thing too, the screams and the fear these people go through in their last moments. Especially the moms who are their with their children and can't protect them. Things falling everywhere and the pilots trying desperately to do something. Once I heard the cockpit voice recorder for a fallen airplane and I heard the pilot tell his mom he loved him I couldn't listen to another one. Heartbreaking.
If that were the case and I was onboard (I NEVER unfasten my seatbelt unless I go pee, which I try not to do) but I would hope the overhead bins with luggage etc in it.. would fall out and bonk me in the head and break my neck and knock me out or kill me before we crashed in the ground
. . . not much of a blessing though.
yeah. At that time they likely figured out, they are about to die.
The pilot was really really courageous , brave and patient person . the fact that even after his plane went into a dive and a roll at the same time but he tried his best to remain his calm and make ATC conversations breaks my heart
You have to admire the pilots for fighting until the bitter end in an impossible situation. I would have been panicked beyond the point of reason in their situation, much less been able to effectively communicate with ATC or try to work the problem with my crewmates. These guys deserved a much better outcome, but unfortunately, life isn't always fair.
The Captain also had a youtube channel where he would film his flights. RIP to everyone on board, these pilots really had everything stacked against them.
What is his channel's name
Really? I would love to check it out!!
@@sadisadihotmailcom I forgot so I had to do a search, but it's here: th-cam.com/channels/T-I9Yve96frOHGd7QqSJpw.htmlvideos
Yes his videos into Pakistan's mountainous airports were breathtaking. We truly lost a gem of a pilot. He was known for his professionalism and exceptional flying skills as seen in this recreation to fight to keep the plane up
@@sabrina6720 Thank you for that. His last upload was on the day he died. May all the passengers rest in peace.
I just imagine them feeling so thankful, still trembling but so relieved that they survived what they thought was going to be a crash. Then that feeling of absolute horror comes back to them as it happens again. Only this time to die. It makes me sick thinking about it.
I get so depressed when I watch these , I can’t imagine what was going through there minds . May they all be in heaven and smiling
Oh my God, was that sad. The crew was exceptional as was were the folks in the tower -- yet they were all helpless. The big take-away -- nobody panicked!!!! God bless them all.
Nobody paniced... I'm not sure about that. Those passengers would of done nothing else.
@@KONAMAN100 Oh yeah, them!!!!
Outstanding video TFC, as always!
I feel bad for the pilots, not knowing what is happening, and then recovering from an inverted state, just beginning to calm down, and then you soon after witness a stall which is the last thing you will see.
This comment should be pinned.
The pilot had a unique youtube channel.
This crew really reminds me of the Alaska 261 crew, where a super experienced and smart crew were faced with an unprecedented and unsurvivable situation. RIP to all those lost.
Probably the last line the jocks heard the ATC say was: "Confirm you have visual contact with the ground?" They definitely were, but not how ATC meant it. Awfully tragic
No kidding right, so scary watching the ground getting closer as you are spinning out of control.
This one almost made me cry somehow. The pilots were so brave in the face of death, remained composed and fought the inevitable until the end. So admirable. And so heartbreaking...
Like Alaska 261 🙁
Every time a plane crashes I can almost feel the jolt that's how good your videos are. RIP to all the lives lost
My greatest respect to those pilots, it’s amazing how much they did in all that chaos. May all of those that died rest in peace.
That poor young pilot’s frantic voice on the recording is just heartbreaking.
Being a pilot in this situation would have been terrifying, they did not had any critical mistakes, did everything in their power correctly and yet died. Heartbreaking
Having heard many ATC recordings with controllers who were idiots or aircrew who were missing important communications, it is tragic that everyone we heard was highly professional and competent, yet still unable to correct the situation.
Terror was the perfect word for this incident. It is one of the most terrific ends I have seen. Those poor people must have thought it was all over when the crew managed to bring the aircraft under control the first time, only for much worse to be ahead. Now I understand why many countries banned PIA flights after last year's incident, though obviously this crew were not to blame in 2016. These incidents seem to show a company that's been cutting corners for a number of years, and people always pay for that with their lives. To all those who lost their lives in 2016 and 2020, God or Allah rest their souls.
Terrific?
@@tiptopsound The use of the word terrific has changed over time. It USED to mean dreadful or terrible. It then also came to mean 'of great size, amount, or intensity' (such as the line "the traffic was terrific' to describe busy roads from the Christmas carol "There's No Place Like Home For The Holidays". ) It's a modern usage for it to be a positive word. I don't know if I can include a link in this comment, but I will try to add one that explains in an easy way how the word, and others, have changed over time. www.courant.com/ctnow/hc-word-watch-1222-20131222-story.html
@Steven Macdonald I think the word you were looking for is "horrific". Not "terrific". But you have a solid point. PIA are one of the most unsafe airlines in the industry and glad they have been banned from the airspace of many regions.
@@DarkFilmDirector No, I'm quite sure what I meant, thank you all the same. I speak English.
Terrific:
adjective
1) extraordinarily great or intense: terrific speed.
2) extremely good; wonderful: a terrific vacation.
3) causing terror; terrifying.
@@stevenmacdonald9619 You left this part out.
2.

"his body presented a terrific emblem of death".
It's not 1879 and this is a silly thing to get defensive about. People make typos with autocorrect all the time and thought that's what happened.
I can't even imagine the feeling of horror the passengers experienced in that roll. First video on your channel which made me slam my desk when it crashed into the mountain. Such an awful fate. RIP passengers and crew.
They should have landed at Saidu Sharif Airport easily, no need to go to Islamabd. They passed Saidu Sharif Airport when the Engineer was called from Passenger cabin. They knew there was a problem.

@@jamesb1988 yeah that one was also so crazy
Nerves of steel, even in the face of death. They gave all that they had to save themselves. I pray their souls rest in peace. 🙏
I'm terrified of flying and yet I cannot stop watching this channel. Just proves how informative your work is, ty TheFlightChannel. :)
Me too, last flew in 2004, not going to happen again
Please don’t be afraid. pilots train for years (2-3) and the F/O (right side) has any amount of flight hours, but the captain (left side) has a large amount of flight hours. Technology is also improving, and pilots and the people who make airplanes are always learning how to make it safer.
Watching that plane rolling left, rolling right, inverted was terrifying.
Must have been terrifying for all those poor souls onboard that plane, one can only imagine what they went thru in those last few minutes. May they rest in peace.
I remember very well about hearing the news of this airplane crashing in a headlines. Honestly, I couldn't help crying after knowing how bravely these champs have fought with the plane for that long and they got the opposite of what they truly deserved 😭. Massive respect to the brave pilots.
I would just like to say (& i am sure i speak on behalf of a lot of your subscribers) Thank you for all the time & effort that you put in to post these videos. I can't even imagine the time spent researching, editing these videos. It is greatly appreciated.
Sometimes, even when you know the outcome, part of you is still hoping that they will be somehow saved through the video
This was one of the best videos I've watched on this channel. It made me feel so tense. I felt like I was on that plane and my faith was sealed towards the end.
Man they recovered it the first time as well...that last turn they made was fatal, still an astounding and brave performance by the crew.
That last STANDBY brought tears to my eyes... The struggle was real, but as titled, this flight was destined to crash! May the deceased rest in peace...!!!
My stomach was rolling on this one, I can't imagine what everyone went through
it was terrifying
It’s just amazing how things go bad so quick. I lived and worked in the Middle East for 15 years and I had to travel a lot. They tried to book me a few times on PIA and I just flat out refused especially after the last crash. Maintenance, pilot error etc. just to risky. RIP to all of them, those pilots did the best they could.
International flights are usually safe it's the domestic ones which are shambolic
Death gets you even on a bed of roses.
I WAS WAITING FOR THISSSSS. Rip to everyone that died...
Me too i requested this video ages ago thank you tfc
Your work is amazing. Thank you. That term “Souls on board” gets me every time.
This was so sad. I really thought that they would make it after the pilots recovered from the initial upset. R.I.P. to everyone onboard
I've been binge watching Flightchannel and this pops up now. Excellent 👍👍
Hi I am from india
What about you.
Me 2 ive seen you several times in this channel since last January
Just fantastic...absolutely fantastic. My heart was actually pounding by the final stall and dive into the mountainside. Not to keep beating a drum like I did last week, but this is EXACTLY the reason why narration should never be included. I was in that airplane with those heroic pilots trying to save the plane and the lives of those onboard. The 360 degree roll...the hope filled recovery and the subsequent loss of control must have horrified those poor people...it felt horrible for me! If this experience was talked through, none of that would have run through me. It's the reason I watch the channel every week and why I was so upset at last week's presentation. Sorry for all that!!! This is magnificent.
Absolutely gut-wretching, I can't imagine what the passengers and crew were feeling in those final moments
The graphics are so amazing that I missed the description a couple of time and needed to come back and watch it again. Great job on the video. When maintenance fails, we, the crew and passengers, pay the ultimate price!!
Stunning effort as always...the people who lost their lives may rest in peace
Fun fact: the famous cloth brand “J.” Owner ‘Junaid Jamshed’ was onboard this flight and he tragically died. After his death the company has had many successes. May Junaid Jamshed rest in peace
Poor guys. Shame the incompetent maintenance crew. Really glad there was no audio narration. I love reading the story as it unfolds. Great job 👏
My goodness! What kind of horrific situation the passengers of this plane must have gone through! It's really very sad to feel that passengers had a very clear idea that they will not be able to make it and they are now going to die soon. RIP to all the brave souls on board.
This was the crash of Junaid Jamshed
May his soul rest in peace

@@ahmads5889 Singing is a sinful profession?
@@kekelapp0r according to Islam yes music is a sinful profession
The pilots acted so pro did everything they could unfortunately it didn't end well but clearly not their fault
@@kennethsrensen7706 I'm aware of that, I'm studying to be a pilot and I know all of this that you mentioned, my point is though, that the circumstances that they were into led them to commit mistakes that in the same circumstances others pilots would also commit, they didn't fail, the whole system did, and it's valid to remark that in real life things goes really different than in a sim, you never know how exactly your failure will be till it happens, an example of that is the crash of TAM flight 402 in 1996 in this crash the circumstances set the pilots to fail, and no one could have saved that flight not without the acknowledgment of what was going on with the aircraft, same same for this PIA flight
@@kennethsrensen7706 sure, I agree that nowadays pilots are dependent on the autopilot but it wasn't the case here, I just took a look at the final report and it says: the crew shut down the engine, and they were experiencing 7 times more drag than a normal single engine drag, it wasn't a normal engine failure they were suffering from a aerodynamic distress, and it's easy to handfly when everything is alright but when your plane is trying to bring you down it's another story, and they managed to take the plane out of a dive at low level, so they knew how to fly they just couldn't, one thing you learn when you studying to be a pilot is that YOU WILL FAIL, dosen't matter you're not a machine, so expect to fail, so maybe if you're seeing from a investigation point you'll have a different vision, but in the real life when you're up there, with all the emotional charges thinking about your life your family things are different, so they could have committed mistakes but it wasn't the main cause of the crash and till the end they fought to save everyone so they acted like pros
@@kennethsrensen7706 - I think his point is that the Pitch control was FUBAR before they ever took off. Maintenance put them in a horrible situation. I understand they didn't feather the prop, but they didn't know they were screwed before they ever took off.
@@kennethsrensen7706 I disagree. Yes the procedure is shut down the engine and feather the prop, but part of the problem in this case was they couldn’t feather it. With the drag created by that if they had pulled back on number 2 they would have stalled out earlier. While I agree with you that all pilots are trained in simulators to handle emergency situations, there is a vast difference between a safe simulator and a “oh shit we’re gonna die moment”. Yes they lost control when the autopilot disconnected but they regained control and held it for as long as they could in the conditions they were in. This wasn’t pilot error, this was a maintenance error that pretty much doomed this flight no matter what the flight crew did. RIP the flight crew and passengers on this flight.
When u start hearing the warning sounds going off u know something is gonna happen badly
How sad... A Tragic loss of 47 people and the aircraft... It is so important NOT to cut corners on maintenance issues like this... This time it cost many people their lives....
Damn, I thought this is gonna end well at one point.
Me, too! I thought they were going to recover and land short of the runway with survivors or something. I actually slammed my desk when it said the plane flew into a mountain and disintegrated. Awful!
Am surely all aboard had that feeling when it seemingly stabilised levelling off for a while, damn that was a cruel twist.
Despite knowing the outcome I was sitting here hoping they'd make it out ok
This would be the most horrible feeling for a flight crew, knowing that no matter what they try the situation is just hopeless and out of their control.
We enjoy seeing the video, seems just like everything is happening in front of our eyes. But I wonder how much hard work is required to make such a nice and elaborate video about every event.. Just Awesome The Flight Channel. I am with you since , as much as I remember, you had 65K subscribers.
I remember 50k subs
I’ve watched endless amounts of these videos but this one really got me, really thought they’d pulled that back. Rip to everyone on board ❤️
A new flight channel upload means that I stop everythin im doing and just watch. This is one up my favorite channels.
Another great video FC, and another reminder of just how much attention to detail I need to maintain constantly as a commercial airline technician!!!!
Thank you for your service. 👍🏼
Absolutely terrifying and tragic accident. Prayers for everyone involved. Another great video by TFC.
That was so emotional to watch. JJ was on that flight along with other loved ones. When the plane rolled, I can only imagine what would've happened with the passengers. Very sad.
That was hard to watch, and even harder to hear. My prayers go out for all the souls onboard and all they left behind.
I was Copilot on AT-42 300 with a small Regional Airline in Brazil and I've been promoted as a Captain on E-120 Brasilia, which has had some problems with Propeller Control before, I knew that end up on lost of Control with fatal crashes, during the sim training we had some time to spare and SFI said: - free time for free practice guys, so I asked the very same failure at 15 thousand feet, my idea was to reduce the power on opposite good engine, pitch down to gain speed and control effectiveness using the Kinect Energy, my God the Aircraft bank so quick to the crippled side, and keep spinning, I wanted pitch down by 5 degrees maybe, it went to 25 degrees down...it was simulator and we lost spatial orientation, on a VMC maybe we have a chance to save the day. The SFI stopped the Sim before the crash. We finished everything and went to the hotel to Celebrate my upgrade as a Captain. I always had the idea that maybe on lucky VMC day it could be possible to make it, reducing power on the good side and using Kinect energy for the speed, sure would be a crash, being a lucky day, could be a controlled crash, unfortunately the training costs are high and Training Managers don't want us to play anything out of book. I knew about this sad crash, but few details, These pilots made a great job, would they have been trained to keep the speed, to set the flaps and go for a controlled crash the outcome would be different. Almost 30 years have gone, Covid19 took away my job, and life goes on. RIP Crew and Passengers.
I was just going to ask if they could teach this in the sim , surely a run away prop that can’t be feathered had to be thought of by the aircraft manufacturer … this should definitely be brought up in the sim .
that terrain is all mountainous
I can't begin to imagine what was happening on board this plane as the plane flipped upside down in the sky! Many plane crashes are a result of improper maintenance who overlook a critical problem! I'm so very sorry to all the family members who lost their loved ones in this horrible crash! May all the lives lost on this day, R.I.P. XO
So sad. RIP everyone. Fantastic airmanship till the end. Once again proves how important maintenance is!
I thought they were going to make it. I was pulling for them. How horrible to regain control and then lose it again.
Ooohh …. So near and yet so far. What a valiant attempt by those pilots to save their aircraft and passengers ❤️ R.I.P.
I flew this route (and I think this same plane) in 2008. It's a stunningly beautiful route but known to be dangerous for a number of reasons. My thoughts go out to all the victims.
Yeap, and I had the same toilet paper as on that plane
Outstanding airmanship despite the circumstances. Kudos to the pilots for maintaining a level head despite hopeless situation. RIP to the 47 souls on board.
The first officer was Ali Janjua, we worked two years together at a call center for an American insurance Square trade before he got recruited into PIA. He was a very happy go lucky person, always full of energy and joy. Ahhh... I remember he always used to say may day may day and I once asked him why he do it? He was son of a pilot . He explained to me what a may day call means. The last time we had dinner was at Balochistan sajji in gulistan e jauhar, two months before the crash. That was the last time I met him...may his and every other soul in the crash rest in piece.Ameen illahi ameen 😢
Salutation to the brave pilots. They did every thing any professional can do.
This may of been your best work yet , F.C , truly outstanding and thoroughly enjoyable
This channel is just great. After watching a dozen or so airliner crashes for a variety of unexpected and mysterious reasons, I probably won't set foot on one again.
Fun fact it's safer to fly than drive
One of the best videos you’ve done..and one of the most tragic. I was really hoping they were going to make it. 😓
This is the best video you have ever produced due to the incredible resolution and excellent editing. Well done.
Thank you so much for yet another outstanding video. This is one of the very best programs on TH-cam, hands down.
Heartbreaking, the crew tried so hard, were so brave, & almost made it 😢😢😢
Your videos are excellent, thank you for them. I'm not sure why I watch these, since I'm not a Pilot but a fearful passenger😊, I think the strength of the human spirit to persevere no matter the outcome, is what brings me back time and again. In the stories where a plane fails completely and the Pilots are able to hold out long enough to get their passengers and themselves to safety- I am so inspired !😊❤
Since getting extensive play time in Microsoft Flight Simulator. These videos, for some reason, have more of an impact for me. No pun intended. I don't know if it is because I am getting more of an understanding of the systems, physics and difficulty to flying. I don't know.
i feel a certain weirdness when i go see the cessna 184 my grandfather left when he died. at first it was all alien to me. we were going to just repair it and sell it. but now i know more or less what each knob and button does thanks to fs and i kinda wanted to fly it before selling it :(
too bad it's not happening. i'll just, idk, but a controller and keep flying the simulator instead.
That's sad RIP to the lost ones of that flight and my condolences to the friends and family members of the lost ones!🇺🇲
Hey Flight Channel, I hope you continue to use this type of music in these vids. It really brings home the emotions of the tragic loss of life. Great videos!
Thank you TFC and RIP to all the souls involved ❤
I didn't know anything about this flight before watching the video. I was really rooting for the crew to fly the crippled aircraft to a safe landing. Those pilots did the best they could.
Great job tfc you put so much effort into this video!
Great video though!! Thank you for all the hard work and effort that you put into your videos.
Although, most times sad out comes, they are always very informative.
there's an audio of passenger cabin for this flight in their last moments screaming and praying, it gives me chills
No one realized that the faulty turbine blade had actually broken on the previous flight...
F* ing unbelievable.
Cracked is very different from broken. Besides, I imagine they don't inspect the turbine prior to every flight. Even if they did, you can only see the last stage and the last stage turbine blade failure rarely cause an engine to shut down.
Poor pre-flight inspection ? Look at these blades.......
Oh someone knew and someone thought they could fix it and just keep the train moving along down the track nope doesn't work that way apparently.
@@linanicolia1363 Pre-flight inspection is just a walk around the plane looking for visible damage, the turbine is inside the engine nacelle, there is no way you would see any damage during pre-flight.
i love the intros verything about your channel. ive been watching sinces the first video. great job
A slow airspeed (caused by the increased drag from failed propeller) creates control reversion where you must point the nose for airspeed, while using ailerons for roll only steepens the roll in wrong direction. Rudder is what’s required to keep the nose straight. The brief pause was due to added energy (speed) from the inverted dive, then back to the original issue.
If you can’t keep it in the air, at least keep it in a straight line and find someplace “soft” to crash.
Condolences to all for this tragedy.
This was an emotional watch. Junaid Jamshed, a notable Pakistani personality was on this flight with his family. RIP to all the souls on board. The pilots did their absolute best till the very end, given the circumstances.
RIP passengers of flight 661....
From India...
This is the flight we lost the great Junaid Jamshed. Legendary Singer.
@@abdulhadikhan2964 and cloth brand J. Owner
@@abdulhadikhan2964 Junaid quit music long ago and considered it to be haram. He was an l$Iamic fundamentalist polluting people's minds.
His passing is the only good thing about this horrible crash.
I felt so bad for the pilots!
GREAT video TFC, was just wanting this one to know more about this!
Salute to the pilots for being calm till the end 🙏 condolences from India ❤️
the one thing that killed them in that situation was a bank into the failed engine, not sure if they would be able to have kept speed up to that point but that might've been the difference between 47 people alive or dead. RIP them still, i couldnt have handled the situation much better myself
