I would add extremely sad music and an explosion visual effect so that after the explosion dissipated the words "everybody survived" would appear on screen
Try looking at flight QF72, there was a certain plane that had problems where the auto pilot took over and it almost killed everyone on board. If it hadn’t been for Captain Kevin Sullivan’s quick thinking and taking manual control everyone would be dead.
He tried to reject the takeoff after v1. The only reason everyone survived is that the runway had good terrain after the end. If that had been Pearson airport 15l or r, he would have plowed through a 4 lane highway and then into a deep ditch.
@@skyhigh2118 haha fair enough. I just meant that if he'd called it off before reaching v1, he might not have overrun, which is the point of calculating v1. Mind you he apparently calculated it with an incorrect runway size anyways so who knows. Agreed though, he should have lifted off and entered climb instead of attempting to abort.
@@skyhigh2118, not saying he didn't make mistakes. At that point it took guts to abort the take off and face the music. That's what I'm saying. But ultimately it saved the people and it saved the plane because it's still in service as of 2019. As far as making mistakes this was possibly the most no harm done I've seen. Just saying.
@@skyhigh2118, thank you. We the people appreciate you. I still say he made the right choice. Others, who decided to go through with the take-off at that point, ended up in the trees with loss of life. I see what he did as brave and heroic and there's nothing you can do to change my mind.
The big take away from this is, "Everyone survived". Yes mistakes appear to have been made, but the Pilots were quick to correct, and land with no casualties . Thanks again for your very high quality production.
Not as quick as they should. The plane's nose lifted off before V1 call. Pilots should have aborted take off and lower the engines' thrust as the plane lift its nose without command, thus they could have fully stopped before overrunning the runway.
That's quite a wheelie! And a new one. Who knew airplanes could do wheelies? (Although, I suppose each flight is technically one really long wheelie. 😄✈️)
covfefe as the the who intentionally misspells him name , lol! The correct spelling of coffee ...... Is c-of-f-e-e. I just find it hard not to laugh when you suggest we all grow up! Are you including? ......including yourself? Bwwwaaaaahhhhhhaaaaa!
@@bobbygushlinger3637 welcome to youtube, it's part of the algorithm and anyone that understands it knows you have to ride that thin line of click bait with a little bit of truth for youtubes algorithm to use your video as a "suggested video". either way i thought the title fit the video just fine it wasn't until after the fact that the investigation showed it was pilot error and not an issue with the plane.
Fun fact: This flight was also the one that hosted the longest continuous string of four-letter expletives ever shouted by a single captain in the course of his duty. If strung together, the collective length of the 'beep' would be 17 times longer than the entire flight itself.
With that ridiculously sad music right there, I was expecting it to say "the plane overran the runway, and over 500 earthworms were killed in their little muddy homes."
Well the only thing sad about the music was the fact that this was the very last time this sad music was ever fully used on TheFlightChannel, that's what I find sad of it.
I was just casually watching this when I realized my company has this aircraft in temporary storage (due to coronavirus) at San Bernardino. I'm probably the one who parked it.
we are mourning the total loss of peace that happens at the bowel loosening terror we feel when we are on a plane and we can see with our eyes that something is very wrong.
@@muneermustafa8543 Hell, I have that feeling every morning when the alarm goes off. It warrants a wa-wa-wa-waaah on a muted trumpet, possibly a soulful turn on a bassoon. It is certainly not deserving of a full mournful piano concerto.
@@ImAlwaysHere1 you have the same feeling every morning that is similar to when you are sitting on a bouncing plane??? Are you a delta force navy seal recon cia ranger??? You are either that or you are being dramatic.
He kept his job... Turned out that the aft baggage was also 1400 pounds heavier than on the stated load and that didn't help matters at all... Sometimes s**t happens.
This is the best one where only a bit of confusion caused this accident. No one died, and the plane is still in service. Happy news! I do think though when you know how serious air crashes are it still shook up the whole plane including staff. Thank you for the happy one because not a lot of them are.
Sorry, but for the responsibility level and pay they make they aren't allowed or supposed to make mistakes. Not driving a bus here! Use the proper documents when configuring your A/C.
The pilot technically fucked up here, past V1 the plane has to be taken into the air as in most cases there is not enough runway to stop after aborting. They still saved a bunch of people yes but luck was as much a factor as any.
As is always the case; a great video. One thought though, in the videos where the flight crew survives the incident, it would be interesting if some mention is made about what happened to the flight crew; when ever possible and maintaining their anonymity. They're human too.
@Julian Moses Cargo pilots can earn more these days and have more varied work. I know a guy who flies for HeavyLift Cargo, and he has been all over the world and never has two days the same.
Love the videos. A small request - could the date of the incident be displayed more prominently? Either in the video or description. I find the date/year helpful to understand how each incident fits into aviation history.
Did the pilots face any repercussions. It always amazes me how crucial the smallest details are into getting the plane into the air and down again. To see an aircraft lift off effortlessly is a joy but the work that goes into making this happen is incredible.
@Truth This is not "AI technology", you need to learn what AI is. Technology in itself is what saves lives. How many pilots have killed people in the last decades? Too many to count.
I like and enjoy watching your channel. However, I find the title of this video very misleading: the plane did NOT take-off by itself, it did what the flight crew, albeit inadvertently, had set it up to do!
Nicholas Martinez this is how things can happen, with so much automation, AIRBUS, DOES NOT TRUST PILOTS, THEIR SYSTEM is SUPERIOR. This reminds me of truckers NOT USING a TRUCK/BUS GPS, then run afoul of headroom issues/bridge weight restrictions . from NJ
Having had a career in automation programming ,(though not aviation), you are 100% correct. Best combination is skills and intelligence combined with automation.
@ B.S. ; Dragon: Silly boy "Trump" or anyone is a perfect president, compared that evil spawn of Satan, Hillary!!! So stop talking "s**t about" MY imperfect president. You lame Democrats got him elected!
Goes to show if there is even the slightest possibility to cock something up, someone eventually will. That is how we learn and it is a blessing when nobody gets hurt.
The most important of all this that everybody survived and these mistakes allowed improvements for avoiding accidents relates to pitch-up and taking off.
Good thing they were taking off to the south, where there is just a lot of grass. If he was taking toward the north, they would have run across the always-busy I-94!
I suppose the bright sides are: Revision on the correct trim settings so they are not easily misinterpreted. Better understanding of the loading aft of CG. Correctly investigating the V1, V2 speeds dependent on runway lengths. Pretty sure the improvements for this incident rippled down to all airlines. That’s how aviation safety is supposed to work. And I hope the pilots didn’t suffer too much career damage due to setting a trim tab wrong, and getting a plane stuck in the mud. It was great seeing “EVERYONE SURVIVED”. And the plane got repaired and is still flying the airways. Great video!! Thanks for all your hard work. I know it takes a lot to make these videos and that work is appreciated!! 👍👍
May I ask... HOW DO YOU GET VIDEOS TO BE SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING? Edit: Does anyone know the software he uses? Another edit: thanks for the likes 😃 never got that much
@Merlyn Arellano Actually the Crew did not the right thing imo. If your plane does something you don't want or even know why, there is really something wrong. And as long you are on the ground, aboard asap! The Pilot should aboard takeoff right at the moment the nose got up that early.
No need for click-bait titles, I enjoy your videos anyway TheFlightChannel. That said, I hope the pilots only got a slap on the wrist. No one was hurt, live and learn.
Instructions on ALL settings should have been standardized long before this. It does not make sense that one sheet would list the sign first either + or -, and then somewhere else on the checklist have DN or UP AFTER the degree setting. That was a disaster waiting for an opportunity to present itself. Who ever set this stupidity up should have been the one demoted, not the pilot and copilot.
I am glad to hear that everyone survived. Everytime I watch your videos it's like I am there having the same experience with the crew and passengers😭. At least one happy end, what a relief!🥰
RIP to Mrs Edna P. Sitting in seat 15A. She was 81 at the time of the accident. She was was a bit shaken up as a result of the aircraft crashing off the end of the runway, and very sadly died just 22 years later, aged 103, of shock. Probably. My thoughts and prayers go to her family and relatives.
The most likely cause for the death of a 103-year-old would be age, or an age-related/age-deteriorated condition. Relating such a death back to any event 22 years prior is tenuous at best, but most likely ridiculous. Did the coroner intervene after the lady's death, or was her body handed over to her family for her funeral with no other document than whatever certifies a natural death in the relevant jurisdiction? Our bodies eventually lose the ability to replace cells that have reached the end of their useful life, (in a healthy person that's about 7 years), so as those old cells finally die the organs which comprised them can no longer function. Typically the heart loses power or the breathing system fails to transfer oxygen to the blood and to remove waste gases from the blood. Either of those is a common starting point for multiple organ failure and inevitable natural death, (unless a specific event reduced the body's ability to create new cells). Accidental/incidental death is a far more complicated subject, but a lot easier to understand. We know about decapitation, bleeding out, being crushed, being suffocated or drowned, and so on, but getting our minds around the effect of the non-renewal of tiny biological entities takes some assimilating. You can't see it, you can't feel it, you can try to delay it, but, ultimately, you can't avoid it.
At least the crew was smart enough and had enough intestinal fortitude to do the right thing and land, which is a lot more than I can say about other pilots decisions I've seen on this channel.
Exactly - that 700 feet of muddy terrain is what made the difference between everyone survives, to "plane breaking into several pieces and bursting into flames". Compare this to the Southwest flight that overran a runway at Chicago Midway and slammed into a bunch of parked cars, killing a 6 year old boy.
l'm retired ATC. I was the tower supervisor at DTW, on duty, during this accident. I remember it well. A brief snow squall had obscured the visibility, so the departure end of the runway was not visible from the tower cab. No one (in the tower) saw the aircraft actually 'crash', but we were advised by the flight crew of it. A maintenance crew, repositioning an aircraft from Spirit Airline hanger (which at the time was on the north end of the field), saw it. The snow squall cleared a few minutes later, and we then saw the A320.
I didn’t know they could abort the take of after V1. I thought there is no way back after V1 sound. Still, no one killed, aircraft repaired and sent back to service. Always nice to hear :)
It sounds to me like there was potentially confusing takeoff data. Add to that, things like possible fatigue, weather, schedule, on time departure etc and you have the makings for an accident. A good learning opportunity for others. It isn't the first mis-trim incident for sure. They may have let it go too long but their action was inevitably correct.
They probably could have kept it in the air, finished the flight plan and no one on the ground would have known they screwed up on their trim and V1 speed.
DrHarryT: I agree. In this case they almost surely would have been able to continue the takeoff. But the real issue is that the crew did not understand why the problem was happening, and how serious the control problem was. It could have been much worse. I am confused about the line in the video that says the pilot flying could not lower the nose. Stab trim was off by 3.4 degrees. Shouldn't the elevator have enough authority to overcome this?
@@MoGumboFukUTubeForChngngMyName Two years later the rhinestone cowboy rides in to save the day. Didn't your mommy teach you that "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
@@DrHarryT says the “Dr” who rushed to a notification that someone posted a response to his comment two years later. Hopefully your mommy didn’t allow you to take flying lessons… although I’m 100% sure that you would have made a fine pilot, I believe, maybe, not likely, probably not… but a good chance either way - let’s go with it!!! Yay!!!! Star Spangled plane crash (but probably most likely not… or not) Thanks, Harry - that was fun!
I'm still stunned watching those @theflightchabbel videos. So precisely done, informative and even poetic, while staying respectable to victims. Great job!
The mc mcas keeps it from pitching too high on take off and comes on at altitude even some before and throws the nose down. It's used to keep the plane from stalling on take off and throws the nose down pilots were unaware of the mcas system falsey coming on.
After additional training they both probably became even better pilots. The old story is "learn from others mistakes, you won't live long enough to make them yourself."
After 2005 or so, I recall all of these planes have equipment in them which they can be remotely controlled. This includes taking control from the pilots. I had read the patents awhile back and saw articles on it. Pilots were shocked when interviewed for they hadn’t been told
