8 Bad Weather Plane Crashes 🌪️ Smithsonian Channel 

2:20 The captain actually had some knowledge of microbursts. He knew they were in a microburst. Cant fault the captain he did everything he could

It’s always a relief when a survivor or the captain gets interviewed

I was a teacher who lived near DFW when the Delta 191 crash occurred; I was also on the regular blood donor list for Dallas County. It was nearly the end of summer break, and I remember distinctly that I was standing in our backyard that day, watching the black clouds rolling around and thinking, "This is weird weather. I bet a lot of planes are going to get backed up for a while." Then, I heard our phone ringing inside the house, and when I went inside (the era of landlines hanging on the kitchen wall with a long cord), it was the blood calling me in for an emergency donation. I hopped in my car and started racing to the center, and when I turned on the car radio and heard the news, I knew why they were calling-gave my pint that day, I hope to God it helped someone.

That british airway Flight 9 is a very unique case. I watch the episode. The smoke was from a nearby volcano eruption in Indonesia and it seem the plane entered an area filled with volcano smoke. They made it back, do not worry. Everyone survived. They were on the way to australia.

Spending Christmas day watching plane crashes, good times. EDIT: Merry Christmas everyone

CDC:dont travel this christmas. Smithsonian: here's plane crashes all month lol

For those wondering. At 21:45 the crew had entered a cloud of volcanic ash that had come from Mount Galunggung. It entered and started to clog the engines. Causing them to shut down.

RIP Jerry Chandler (1948-2019). He was one of the best -- and among the most knowledgeable -- aviation reporters in the industry He's absolutely right when he says, "if there is one crash ... that made things safer, because we learned from it, it was Delta 191." It had the biggest impact on airline safety in at least a decade. Of course it's also true that we can, and should, learn from every crash -- no matter how big or small -- as long as we have the resources to figure out what went wrong and, if possible, how to prevent if from happening again.

23:50 I like how they all wore the belts at the same time. Pro mode on

All of these crashes caused incredible pain . Peace to the survivors. we must learn from these accidents and ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure in many cases.

I still remember that day when Air Florida flight 90 accident happened. It was right in front of my eyes. It was horrible to see it. I always pray God to keep the passengers soul in peace. Really I can not forget the tragedy.

Well, Merry Christmas to you too, Smithsonian. Guess I'll reconsider flying this Christmas, since you insist. lol

Delta 191 was preceded 10 years earlier by another microburst crash-Eastern 66 at JFK Airport in New York (not sure if this program has ever outlined that crash). Those two crashes led to wind shear detection on planes and at airports.

24:09: Rest in Peace to all those Manchester United players who perished in the crash.

Flowers of Manchester ♥️ never forgotten never will. #GGMU

The problem here is that BA9 didn't crash at all, it was beautifully landed by amazing pilots from a very respectable airline.

These videos are super addicting someone help 😭😭😭

So basically, ice on plane = crash

Between these videos and all the car crash videos.. I've decided to just stay home..forever.

Never been this quick, since I was born.

These are like trailers without any clear endings. I’m outta here

Really sad that the German investigators somewhat cherry-picked the evidence to make it appear that ice on the wings had caused the crash of BEA 609, and then afterwards refused to admit that they made a mistake and continued to blame the Captain. Even after the British PM had exonerated the Captain of any responsibility, the German investigators still held that he was responsible and the airline never re-hired the Captain. So sad that his life was cut short by a heart attack a few years after 😥

Trying to fly through moderate icing is NEVER a course of action!

British Air Flight 9 actually survived the incident. Every single person survived. One of the passengers even wrote a book on the incident, and eventually married a fellow passenger who was seated in front of her. That's so insane and so cool.

Everybody is gangster until the plane flies into hyperspeed at 21:45

Australian flyers when it comes to snow and ice: whats that?

Damn 191 might not have been bad if he was 40 feet to the right.

i love that guy that says WAY UP

I love watching videos of thunderstorms and then I listen to music I like like delta parole or metallica! Nothing better and more relaxing like that!

Respect to those cameraman that survived these crashes

Of these 8, British Air Flight 9 is the only one I know of that DIDN'T crash.

I'm always amazed. Cause I feel like I've seen every episode. Then these come out and I'm like how did I miss that one.

can you finish a story before you start another

Just in time for all the Christmas flights this year!!! Merry Christmas all :)

I have been in a microburst I stayed calm when my mom was freking out haha

Darkest day in history of our club .

Sometimes Mistakes are lessons learned too late

It looks like the people that where in the back survived it just broke off

Gotta love the narrator's voice

Harry Gregg, the goalkeeper of Manchester United, just passed away within this past year, on 2-16-20.

May god rest all the souls of the people who died in these plane crashes.i send my condolences to their families and friends.xx

Merry Christmas

why am i wathing this when i could be celebrating with family

All except the cameraman survived 🤣🤣🤣😅😅😂😂

The ice make the plane crash

Fun fact: BA009 didnt crash, they made it to the airport and got all the engines working again.

Nice

Merry christmas smitsonian

Smithsonian, it's Christmas. Still watching it though.

Anyone start binging these types of videos lately?

Who prefers to watch this over "HONE ALONE" or wife's complaining?

Who all are survived are very lucky

If you're going to do these kinds of videos with the details like you do, PLEASE include the cause of crash in each one! You're only leaving people confused because you end it and then go immediately onto to the next scenario and people think they're still watching the one before! This is the dumbest way to present a compilation.

21:55 they be flying in hyperspace

3:26 That’s actually not too bad with that kind of crash!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!

Awesome 727

24:10 RIP Manchester United Players

Interesting stories, but you need to provide more details - especially about the crash investigations...

12:39 lol his name 🤣🤣🤣👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Me watching this and being in the gate of a plane rn-

I was near the Florida Flight 90 crash. I watched them pull the survivors out. Very sad.

Never been so early

So the caused of North Link Flight 5719 is Pilot error but FROM captain not first officer.

It’s so sad that the first officer got killed by a guy that has anger issues, the first officer could had such a nice life but it just got took away by a no life, I’m so angry 😡

"I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers."

the pilots know what theyre doing boys: 3 seconds later CRASH

Please post the year of these situations.

watching this before i open presents ☺️☺️

Suggestion how about Planes that crashed due to mechanical error

I don't even like to fly but I love watching shows about crashes lol🥴

Okay only if the flight crew had some cameras to get that light show on tape

On the first one , are the fuel tanks near the runway ? , if so WHY?

In "Icy Wings: Arrow Air Flight 1285", there's more to it than that. They'd de-iced without letting Tower know, then moved into a take-off spot without Tower approval. The flight waited another 20-25 min until they were cleared to take off, but by then they had even more ice since the weather was so bad.

Spending New Year's eve watching plane crashes. What a wonderful life I have. 😟

I suggest going on a plane on a day with good weather, or perhaps if ur going far a week or more for a safer flight

That delta 191 captain saw that microburst coming you can tell by the way he said your gonna loose it all of a sudden

Disjointed video -- some of the stories don't have a proper ending, then suddenly another accident story is started.

They shoud like make a "No building zone" Around the runway so if theres any plane that cant made to the runway they can land at the grass and not hit a building

To clear it up, you should not be scared to fly, your chances to crash is 1 in 12 million

Pilots know what they are doing boys 😆😂

At the family Christmas party while on the couch watching this on Christmas. Weird lol merry Christmas everyone.

"HOLD ON TO THIS SON OF A BIT-"

Hopefully the actors in these Smithsonian videos are keeping their regular jobs.

Coming from Africa or Europe if you're running out of fuel you have to go to Gander!!! It's a refueling stop but it's also an emergency landing spot for both Europe and Africa. Atlanta day when we were running out of food coming from the Canary Islands: unbelievable Headwinds.

Merry chrimas merry christler

In February 1991 I was coming back from Then West Germany and landing there at Dallas Fort Worth airport the plane as we came closer to the airport dropped 10 maybe 15 feet. First thing I thought was here is another flight 191. We landed ok but man made my heart stop for a second. Last time I flew on a plane was 1996 and haven't flown since. Haven't needed to be anywhere farther than I can drive, plus to damn expensive.

Volcanic ash is by far the worst thing you could possibly fly through. It sandblasts the paint off, scratches the cockpit windshield, damages compressor blades, and, worst of all, melts and turns to goop as it passes through the combustion stage of the engines only to re-solidify and jam the engine shaft, causing engines that ingest it to fail. That was why European airspace was grounded in 2010 when Eyjafallajökull blew, but it was Speedbird 9 that taught us this lesson.

Where would I be able to find information on this channel about the Tenerife disaster please?

God damn it I wanted to see the last of the British Airways one

I waited till my mom and her boyfriend texted me they were off the plane before watching this.

Nothing but unanswered questions!

When u too early that plane haven’t crashed yet

Do a Japan airline video

21:47 who else thought star wars after seeing that

Well, I think you have to add *"Sriwijaya Air"* into your compilation. Indonesia, 9/1/2020

First want is my fav

aircraft can't get more speed on the B1 stage can't get lift should have emergency catapult for the aircraft hook like they do on a carrier is that possible??

Thats an ouchie

Which flight was on intro?
