Wow, what a PSYCHO this guy was. I've never heard of this story. Killed dozens of innocent people because he was the one who stole money and got fired.
@@ziffle Not really... He did make them lose lots of money and lose several of their employees, along with all the other people who died. So, he did accomplish his objective, it's just that it was a PSYCHO objective, as @alechamid235 put it.
Bomb detector -beep beep beep, baggage claim guy - it's not the right sound even even though none of the other bags make any noise let's put it on the plane 😳
Back in that day, certain instruments could make sounds for no reason at all, or could make one type of noise for something hazardous, and another for something harmless. The rushed instructions were probably somewhat to blame - if the instructor had said "if this makes any noise, separate the bag," that probably would have prevented the problem. Still, hindsight is always 20/20, but foresight not so much.
@@saralgupta5250 I can think of multiple possible reasons: It takes time to double check with the expert, if you can even find him. The planes are trying to get off the ground by a certain time. If you create multiple unnecessary delays, you can get yelled at/demoted/lose your job. Attempting to blow up airplanes was not common. False alarm might get you sued, the co-worker's instrument will be set off by the same things that falsely set your instrument off, there was nobody nearby to check with...
@@annep.1905 how much time does it take to check a bag for a homemade bomb also this is the perspective given by him theres no actual proof that the sound was different it could have been a cover for if someone else heard that sound as there were multiple personnels together pak was obviously involved and idk why but ig there WERE INTERNAL MOLES
So this athelete dude says HE didn't carry the gasoline on board... he just "handed his bag to a family member that carried it on board". Then says "my family was on board, why would I carry gas on the plane" (and risk their lives). YEAH... why did you? It doesn't matter if YOU carried it or you gave your bag to someone else **to carry on board** ... YOU were the reason it was there.
Yeah in all honesty that is true but the guilt is on the the guys job to ensure safety. Should be fired and put down as a potential threat to any security job in the future. As for the bozo claiming that it was only bleach who knows actually.. maybe his family members should have been questioned. Maybe the guy who brought the battery “knew” there was gas in the bleach bottle… just saying…
I like these compilation episodes, they condense each story down to the main points and focus on the investigation, which is the reason I watch this show in the first place. I used to watch Forensic Files back in the day for the same reason, I find the scientific and logical methods in putting together what happened fascinating.
I agree, many are padded out with the stories of people on the plane, which can be interesting but sometimes there is too much padding to make the episode longer. I was pleasantly surprised there were 3 investigations in this one video. It was well put together and concise. 🙏
Agreed! Whenever they pad the episode with D-quality actors doing mediocre reenactments, I’m always hitting “fast forward”. The compilations are much better. However…if they managed to hire Dateline’s Keith Morrison to do the narration, I’d watch their overly-padded episodes ALL NIGHT LONG. Morrison could read the dictionary for all I care. He has THE BEST voice on TV.
Well, these cases are ones that were relatively simple. So stretching each into an hour long ep would've been annoying. But most of the other cases kinda need all that time to explain all the developments.
Free falling in a plane must be the most terrifying way to go. The anger, sadness and regret for getting on that plane know your imminent death while waiting for impact. You just pray the impact is what kills you and not fire. RIP to all those on board who lost their lives 🙏🏻♥️
I really wanted to hear those court trials. Like, if this was not a deliberate act why in gods name would you ever bring those on an airplane, let alone together. I really wanna know what explanation was brought up in court.
This show gets a lot right just in terms of how it is presented and in doing so they made something that is quite entertaining. I am talking about it's pace, the narrator and how it is sequenced. The reenactments are not low budget either. Any loss of life is tragic but many of these accidents just leave you shaking your head - like there are a few where junior pilots just watch everyone, including themselves, die because they are afraid to correct their superior. I know after the fact we have a different vantage point but damn.
Tell your mom from me that watching these episodes sitting in a plane ready to take off, also while taking altitude and at 33,000ft in the sky is a special and intense experiece ❤
@@ginag.9316 Yep. A tragic oversite but things were pretty lax before the 21st century. Nowadays they take your badge and cancel your email the day you are fired.
41:23 That’s just wrong! He was the one who carried gasoline onto the plane, so how’s he not responsible? I think that country was protecting a star athlete. Same goes for the person who brought the motorcycle battery on board.
Court systems tend to be pretty strict about what kind of evidence is sufficient. I don't know how it works the ROC, but I'm assuming there's probably a requirement to prove intent, and since the fuel was in a bleach bottle, it probably would have required compelling evidence to prove that he intended to bring something other than bleach into the plane.
Its so gut wrenching to know that incidents like the 1st story has to happen in order for air flights to be safer in all ends. Im not speaking of mechanical, but hijacked issues.
Often times it takes several bad accidents for people to take health and safety laws seriously. The amount of nightclub fires, stampedes etc around the world wouldn't have happened if governments had taken the necessary safety steps that were expected of them and that other countries were doing for years prior. Kiss nightclub fire and seoul crush for example.
I'll never understand. Someone put gas in those bottles. Someone knows the truth. Someone is living with that truth, and I pray they come forward. A guilty conscience is a terrible thing to live with. Thank God it didn't happen while the plane was in the air. May the passenger that perished rest in peace. Prayers for all the injured, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Well no they dont need to come forward. They say it right there in the documentary that the person who brought the gas on the plane was Ku Chin Shui. He was tried 5 times and declared not guilty because they found gasoline on multiple items other than the bottles. I couldnt find much on who actually brought a broken live motor battery which caused the ignition and subsequent explosion. I cant think of reasons he'd need gasoline specifically but you cant bring things such as pressurized cans either so the charge on him would be the same as if someone brought a can of axe body spray and someone else put a lighter in a different compartment that caused it to burst. Guilty conscience is right though seeing as the person who died is actually his brother who was likely under the compartment that exploded.
@@lionman3378most likely anyone who maintains a "I'm a victim" attitude who would justify any nefarious actions committed by them. Sometimes, today's culture, the media, and politicians, can foster such unfortunate and often crippling mindsets in individuals. No one is immune to adopting such an attitude if they refuse to take full responsibility for their success or failure in their own life.
They found a few who died of drowning but could have been unconscious as they drowned including a pregnant woman whose fetus was found to have been perfectly fine and died after the woman drowned. Absolutely terrifying.
These days, there are X Ray machines and metal detectors. And these days, bringing a gun, loaded or unloaded, through an airport checkpoint is automatic jail.
Probably one of the reasons why they don't do that anymore. Now we all complain about how small the limits are for bringing liquids onboard. Well, this is why that rule is there.
Bleach is quite a dangerous liquid on its own. The fumes are toxic to most people - why would you leave bleach in baggage in the first place. It’s cheap, easily obtainable - the security person should have confiscated it anyway. Wouldn’t most people, security or not, find that it shouldn’t go on board? I don’t know why anyone would buy two bottles of bleach, let alone have it in cabin luggage? 🤔
I feel kind of sorry for that airline employee who allowed that bag with the bomb through when she broke the rule. She is responsible for all those deaths. She must feel so guilty and can never escape it. I wouldnt want to be in her shoes.
For the life of me, I'll never, ever, understand why passengers use aircrafts to transport all sorts of household products. Get to your home, then take your car, or the bus, or a cab, go to a store and buy your freaking cleaning products and go back home. Don't take an airplane to do basic shopping!
Me either, but they learned from the errors in the past. That should give us enough confidence. I fly three to four times a year with two being international flights 😅
Just remember that every time you get into a car, you’re facing a much, much higher risk than a plane. Your odds of dying in a plane crash are 1 in 1.2 million, compared to 1 in 5,000 for being in a fatal car accident. Plane accidents are incredibly rare and taken very seriously, all of the accidents you’ve heard about were learned from and are part of the reason why air travel is so safe today. Of course it still carries a risk, but so does any action you take in life.
I dunno. I think watching these shows me just how much effort this industry puts into stopping any and all causes of crashes. Really interesting example was TACA Flight 110 where the engines flamed out because they flew through a thunderstorm with the engines at low throttle, and they were only tested at high throttle. Then more recently, Qantas flight 32 landed with one engine that refused to shut down. The firies tried blasting water down the front of the engine (while it was at idle) with one of their high volume water canons and the engine refused to shut down. Clearly plane engines' testing has been changed so that even at idle, they can handle some pretty torrential rain.
I know for a fact that a US based airline took off with my bag and I wasn’t on the flight. I arrived early enough and checked in my bags and never made it to the terminal to board. It was an international flight and i was marked a ‘no show’. They went in about how it was my fault and they may not be about to put me on another flight until well after the holidays. I said okay and what not then asked for my checked in bags to go home and they were all looking at me. They eventually put me on another flight and I made the trip. Didn’t see my bags until reaching final destination.
In Australia, if a passenger fails to board on time, then the flight is delayed whilst that passenger's luggage is unloaded from the cargo hold. I've been on flights whilst that happens, the delays have sometimes taken ~15 minutes.
Hi I work at the airport checking in international flights :) When the plane is delayed, or u miss ur flight etc. Ur bag can fly w/o u bc we know u’ll eventually fly. So yes the procedure & checks are done properly. Esp after 9/11 we have to. The regulation states that Luggage cannot be checked in unless the passenger is checked in & confirmed to fly. It doesnt have to specifically be w/ a passenger onboard but it has to be confirmed that its checked in w/ a passenger who is or will eventually be flying :) Like one of the commenters stated YES if ur not boarding ur bags were supposed to be offloaded but bc u stated u wanted another flight i believe ur bags were sent bc u wld eventually fly out & YES the no show & blaming u is bs! Im sorry they made u feel like that
Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 1771 was estimated to have been traveling at 770 miles per hour (1,240 kilometers per hour) when it crashed into a hillside in the Santa Lucia Mountains near Paso Robles and Cayucos at 4:16 PM. The plane disintegrated instantly after hitting the rocky ground.
Wow, you figured out all by yourself that PSA 1771 'disintegrated instantly' after vertical impact with hard ground at 1240 km/hr? FFS, do you think everybody else needs to be TOLD this?
As a frequent traveller, way too many planes take off with my bags and with much stress and frustration without me so I think these baggage rules introduced after Air India aren't followed as much as people think
Hi I work at the airport :) Bags aren’t allowed to be checked in unless we know the passengers flying. When the plane is delayed, or u miss ur flight etc. Ur bag can fly w/o u bc our systems confirmed when and with who u’ll eventually fly. So yes the procedure & checks are done properly. Esp after 9/11 we have to. The regulation states that Luggage cannot be checked in unless the passenger is checked in & confirmed to fly. It doesnt have to specifically be w/ a passenger onboard but it has to be confirmed that its checked in w/ a passenger who is or will eventually be flying :)
@@CaIiforniaL0VE Not sure about that. I was flying to Bolivia from Montreal and landed in Miami, in March 2002 (6 months after 9/11) and I had missed my plane with AA to LaPaz. I had checked-in my luggage and was waiting for a later flight to LaPaz (9 hr layover). I boarded the later flight and arrived in LaPaz early morning the next day. I was looking for my luggage on the carrousel and couldn't find it. I asked luggage service to help and a lady working in baggage claim walked me into a storage room where I found my luggage. It turns out that my luggage arrived before and without me on a previous flight. So, please explain what might have gone wrong?
@@ejcash7234 Well, you *did* eventually fly, then. So that's exactly what CaliforniaL0VE said - it doesn't necessarily have to be on the same flight as you are, but as long as you do fly...
@@ejcash7234 thats cos u were confirmed to fly, the reverse also happens where the passenger flies and their luggage would be sent on another flight behind it, what doesnt happen is a luggage flying with no passenger.
This show is insanely well made and captivating, top production. I'm used to RU-vidrs analyzing air disasters and while they do a great job with the tools they have, it doesn't come close to this level.
What I was wondering is why were there leads linked to battery post? Something very wrong here,, you never leave wires hooked to a battery post, They wanted it to spark!
It was probably an accident ...why did t smell the gasoline when they were prowling around in the Baggage carry below strolling & looking for stuff . ...they could have been bored!? Don't ask me.. ..
This is alarming to know that with this incident and many like it that the cockpits were not reinforced BFORE 9/11 and such a tragedy could have been averted.
It takes courageous people, like those on 9/11 who took down one of the weaponized planes, they probably saved hundreds to thousands of people. Most are so fearful, they freeze. They want to do something but cannot. Others are courage filled and brave.
As others have noted, some people may freeze in fear, not wanting to catch the 3rd bullet. Also, some people may be waiting to act, hoping for an unguarded minute on the gunman's part. And some people may freeze simply because they do not know what to do - they have been faced with a situation which they never expected to encounter, and need time to figure out a plan of action, but time may be something they do not have.
Does anyone realize they say the same few words in every episode? Like “the worst disaster in…” or “the most devastating disaster in…” but then they change it up a little like “the worst accident in a decade” “the worst disaster in LA” etc etc
There are still issues with security at the airport. I have seen screeners just go through the motions while checking baggage. They don’t make a lot of money from TSA, but are better paid than security officers.
I agree & disagree lol. I work at the airport, so I agree theres loopholes to bypass security or the agent isnt that careful bc they’re overworked esp at my busy airport LAX. Where I disagree is tsa’s arent paid alot bc in california TSA’s make the highest amt of money in the airport after flight attendants & pilots. Im a check in agent & we make minimum compared to them.
How can an employee who's been fired still keep their credentials?? Why weren't they forced to give them up at the time of termination? That's the biggest no-brainer ever.
Bc something like that never happened before. Sadly in Aviation everythings regulated after something happens. If we get fired now, we have to IMMEDIATELY turn in our security badge (I work at the airport) In our trainings we HAD to watch a video about this flight & had an examination about this exact incident, why we turn in our badges & how it changed regulations
I was in Frankfurt Germany once boarding a Lufthansa flight to Atlanta. There was a bomb threat called in and they put all the luggage on the ground and everyone had to point out their luggage and then board the plane and only then was your luggage loaded. This way if you had something that was going to blow up in your bags, you were damn sure going to have a front row seat to the event. Thankfully, nothing blew up but it's a sickening feeling knowing a bomb threat was called in on the plane you're ridingon. 😂😅
I work at LAX and theres a bomb threat every few months! 98% of the time its a false alarm but every time it happens its a hassle bc every bag, passenger, worker etc we ALL exit the airport & stand outside until its investigated thoroughly.
David Burke could just move to another state with his family and with the remaining money. Starting a new life is better than committing THAT... Or he could just unalive his boss at night near his house, but not on a plane😢
A Nigerian DC-3 of OGIBUBUGUJU Airlines ( a domestic carrier) flying between the capital Lagos and Kaduna state crashed after the Captain had a stomach bacterial infection/food poisoning. He stood up in the cockpit and accidentally diarrhea on the central console causing a short circuit in the electrical system. The plane’s magnetos ( it was a piston engined radial job) failed and the aircraft made a forced landing in the jungle. INCREDIBLY!!!! Everyone survived.
on a flight I took two years ago from Denver to California, they let my bag fly to California before I did. It got there hours before I even left Denver🤦🏾♀️ I always think of Air India when I remember that
@@NateCooper111 If you’re lucky enough to get there, I’d like to ask your opinion then, but I’ll be long dead in my grave and I won’t get the chance. Lucky you.
Not long after the Air India disaster we flew Toronto to Gatwick with them. The security was horrendous, 3 security searches and the plane was gated right near the airport security fence well away from other aircraft. As we taxied out the RCMP drove along under each wing. They peeled away as we entering the runway.
What exactly do you need a motorcycle battery for on a plane, and old one at that? Some of you people don't need to fly, walking is probably a big enough challenge for you.
I worked for the company that handled Air India's cargo. We got a transfer of diplomatic cargo, and it was run out to the aircraft and loaded onto the last LD-3 going into the belly. The rest is history. Dip mail is MUST GO on the first available so as soon as we got it, it was in the jeep and off to Terminal 2 at Pearson. No one had a chance to look at it or even think about in Toronto.
The theory doesn't explain how gasoline got into the bleach bottle...wtf? Was there no real investigation into that? If that guy put gas in the bottle or knew there was gas in the bottle, he should have been at least somewhat legally responsible.
@@Darthjacob-xg9sm that's so strange the urge to need 6 separate trials and not discover the simple fact that he brought 2 bottles of bleach with gasoline. For me it's very clear: it was intended with someone else inside the plane. It's plausible investigators doesn't know why or how, but the fact still remais .... You are the only responsable to bring gasoline.
@@trawlins396 Are you ok? How did my feedback trigger you so bad? I mean I even started with how much I like the show and then only said I wish they would title them correctly. I hope you get to feeling better.
@@eco_man_8652 This show is about airplane accidents. There's one episode about a train accident and one about a ferry, but that's it. As for the original question, "hate" is a strong word. I prefer the single-accident episodes, but I certainly don't mind these episodes with thematically related accidents.
@@eco_man_8652 Except he is *NOT* the only one, there are hundreds of comments in relation to how people really do not like these types of documentaries. I, too, much prefer the single crash vids as they are much more detailed.
🎉🎉🎉 Does anyone happen to know if this first accident is the one that happened in Templeton, California? Most of the locals around here (Templton) don’t believe me when I mention this. Thank you for any help that you can provide. Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
9:52 I like how, when they reacted the situation that the whole is about few years inches deep when, if a plane were to hit like that, it’d be 7 feet deep minimum
We are so goofy with our false sense of security you guys realize when I worked for Everts as the person who just answered the phone... Employees like McDonald's employees we just go in the airport... We can go through any door... We have no reason to be in that airport in Anchorage Alaska but we can go through the airport and no issue whatsoever... I found myself in some places I'm like man if I had nefarious intentions... We're not going to stop people who are motivated all we are doing is inconveniencing ourselves for false sense of security
I was working as ground personal in two airports - a small one and big one. In big airport there is a separate entrance wirh scanner and so on for the agents but in small one we had to use the same as passangers. The passangers are rude, the most of them make a drama if the employees want to go without standing in line, even wirhout us they can't to on the board. In big airport there was once the situation that young filmmaker group decided to spare money and take the equipment as baggage on the same flights. They have a small diesel generator with some diesel in! And some big Li-accumulators also which exeeded the allowed volume. The group went from plead to threaten. It is crazy how the people behave in the airport.
I work at LAX as a check in agent for an Airline. Theres a “secret passageway” for employees to use that bypasses TSA. Only Check in agents are allowed to use this passage w/ a security badge bc we don’t fly with passengers we check them in and board our flights. Most of us use this path bc LAX is extremely busy & its a hassle for us to wait in long TSA lines, especially when we need to board on time. Im just now realizing that this isn’t a good thing, bc even though were thoroughly screened to get a job like this, u never know whose on the verge of “snapping” & doing something as horrific as this.
You’d be surprised that security is still not that tight at airports in regards to their employees. As someone who used to work in the ramp, at a smaller city airport, we didn’t have to go through security. I think some ramp agents didn’t have to go through security in larger airports either because a few years ago, ramp agents out of ATL were smuggling guns on Delta flights.
1st one , a coward for capping his boss & both pilots then everyone on board .. Possible on a episode of the one flight I don't recall the flight , I believe was air canada , young girl said to I think her older sister ( this is my first plane crash ) , if I remember correctly military personnel did the rescue mission on atv bikes , Thank you mayday on previous requests , 1st one on this video , suicidal pilot into the Swiss alps & the violent captain ..
I can't help but comment out of curiosity. Where are the bodies and the chairs or parts of the plane? Did they burn because of the impact? Wouldn't the chairs be made of metal parts though? Was the impact really that bad? When that Oceangate submarine collapsed there were so many engineers that made videos calculating the Physics forces that were involved and gave us numbers. I wish that was more common but included in videos like this, not the calculation but at least things like what speed the plane could be travelling/falling at for such kind of an impact on metal parts and flesh and bones.
And this happened in a neighboring country to mine recently: "Air Serbia has filed a complaint against Podgorica Airport after its flight JU173 from the Montenegrin capital to Belgrade was delayed last Friday evening when a passenger cleared security with TWO GAS CARTRIDGES in her carry-on bag, which she reported to have with her to the cabin crew after boarding and prior to departure. The passenger, who is a mountaineer and used the gas cartridges for her kettle dela, passed security at Podgorica Airport but was not asked about the items. After she reported them to the cabin crew the captain called the police and the items were removed from the aircraft. The Civil Aviation Agency of Montenegro has determined that the security staff member checking bags at the airport made an error and has been fined 150 euros for the omission." 💀💀💀
Fico impressionado com o nível de profissionalismo dos investigadores de acidentes aéreos. Em meio a tantos destroços conseguiram encontrar o revólver e mais tarde identificar o terrorista. Esse tipo de conduta profissional deveria existir em muitas outras profissões.
This is rather an unaswered question I have uncovered in regards to PSA 1771. Had the flight attendant not opened the door to the flight deck would A) The plane be flyable and B) Would it even be possible for David Burke to get inside and into the flight deck These two questions often left me stumped. From the outside perspective it may be quick to assume that the plane would land without incident had the flight attendant not opened the door but i want to see your guys take about this.
@@godloves1821 The flight attendant could've communicated via the intercom but didn't. Would there be a reason for opening the door instead of the intercom?
23:37 the actress doing the role of the ticket agent is she the same one who did the role of one of the flight attendants on the episode documenting the disaster of Flight 4184
The 3rd incident of the athele.. athelete was guilty regardless. We r responsible for our luggages. He planned it as evidenced by: 1. he disclosed to the security check point that it was cleaning solution - but investigators found out it was gasoline. 2. athlete said to the court that he didnt know that his relatives added cleaning solution in his luggage - yet he sounded he knew it was in his luggage because he disclosed at the check point why he had them. (Cant he buy cleaning stuff at his destination?). Also the security check point officer didnt do his job correctly.
