Airbus A380 Catches Fire Immediately After Takeoff | TWO Wounded Giants 

The Captain of the Southwest flight was a highly trained military pilot filling in for her husband who was also a highly trained military pilot. There is no doubt her professionalism was a result of her training. The controller seemed to be struggling with his emotions while she was confident and relaxed. She was confident in a compassionate way. I would board any flight she was commanding!

I love that ATC question: “You are single engine.. what else?”. That really calm lady pilot could have said…. “Oh nothing else. I could use a snack, but I’ll wait until we get on the ground” (like Kelsey would say).

For anyone that wants to know, the song at the end is "A gentle Light" by Will Van De Crommert

To add to the brief story here' the Qantas A-380 had myriad problems as well as the uncontained engine explosion that made it very difficult to fly and the computer fault warning system became overwhelming in its flow of faults. Plus the aircraft was very overweight.(Even the landing computations demonstrated the runway wasn't long enough to stop the aircraft in time) Though the Captain was somewhat criticised for losing his 'cool', the first officer kept a calm head and re-did the mathematics, they hand flew the landing and succeeded. It was a very close thing.

The second controller on the Southwest 1380 flight was perfect. He gave them any altitude, any speed, total discretion for whatever the pilot needed. Also when he asked a question and the pilot didn't immediately answer, he said 'doesn't matter'. He totally understood that they were busy in the cockpit and the answer to is question could wait. This should be played in training for ATC, showing that in such a situation, the crew will have better things to do than talk to you

Just wanted to add that on the Southwest Airlines Flight 1380, one passenger, a woman, died. 8 other passengers were injured. RIP one soul lost.

The amount of times pilots bring home their crippled aircraft to a successful landing is truly amazing. As in these two cases their professionalism and airmanship is outstanding.

I agree that new videos should be posted reruns.

Last time i was this early Wilbur was flying it

Good morning, congratulations to the two captains of both Qantas and Southwest airlines and they did well, because right away the Qantas captain saw what was happening. catching fire and then also notified the control tower, which is why It was a success. And for the Southwest commander the same thing, who is also to be congratulated, it was a job well done.

It’s not worth complaining about the reuploads anymore.

Been following this channel since the beginning and a lot of these videos i haven't seen. Even then if i have seen them i like watching them again this is still the best channel for flight simulations. If you have already seen it then don't watch it. Do you realize how much time and effort it takes to make just one of these videos?

I love female Captains, they're always calming when I hear them over the intercom in the airplane though my poor Mom didn't feel the same, probably due to growing up in the 1920's. I believe she encountered her first female Captain when I did in 1980.

these pilots always seem just as calm as i am when making my grocery list (calmer than me when i think of how prices have skyrocked) . they act like these things happen every day . makes me wonder how much does go wrong , and we never find out about it .

For those people who don't know, this channel has been reposting previous posted videos for like half a year already, which they just post a video that connects two previous posted episode and instead of a brand new story is being made. About half a year ago, this channel almost post a brand new story every week, they still repost that time but just BARELY. And to be honest, I think these accidents included in any one of their connected (or reposted) video are not similar, which means they don't meant to be serious to make a connected video, instead they are just busy, so I hope you just went busy for half a year instead of considering give up this job. You have left your true fans many memories, and even used to be the best air crash simulation channel around 2020 according to me.😢

His videos are very good, and he is also very popular in China. Many Chinese people have released translated versions of his videos. My biggest pleasure every day is opening Bilibili and watching his videos. However, recently I have found that he has been posting videos that he has repeated before. I hope he is only tired, and I also hope this situation will only last for six monthsChinese aviation enthusiasts have heard of this channel to some extent, and I sincerely hope that it will update the video as soon as possible.

It's a good day when TheFlightChannel uploads.

That Southwest captain can fly me anywhere. A true Boss!

Wow, London to Sydney in 22 hours non stop. The last time I did that leg was in 1994 in a 747. It was 28 hours back then with a stopover in Singapore. Plus an additional 3 hours from Tenerife to London. Flying has gotten faster

Southwest, our own version of RyanAir. "Anything for a lower price!"

Damn! Why does that Southwest captain sound so laid-back, calm and actually in a good mood?🤔🤔🤔

In the actual photo of the aircraft when it's on the ground and you can see the broken window. Notice the color of the windows in front of that one and then the color tint of the 5 or 6 immediately after.

I wonder if the people who complain about this channel reuploading old videos have watched every single video on this channel? If so, it's time they checked out other channels as there are so many of them that cover same topic. To some this is a reupload, but to others this is something new.

The two-hour ultrasonic inspection only costs $170. What a deal! Why didn't they have them done?

Missed you! Hoping new material coming soon!

The Southwest captain's voice was so chilled it had me wondering if it was AI generated, but no, she really was that calm

If you run out of ideas, reposting videos isn't really the best idea

Yo what a380 are you using?awesome new video BTW

At 6:14 you can read "Southwest 3472" instead 1380. 3472 suffered a similar accident in 2016.

Well at least everyone survived and the plane didn’t crash

The A-380 was lucky to get on the ground safely. If it’s correct that the engine fire reached 1,000 degrees Celsius, that’s around 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. The melting point of Aluminum is 1200 degrees Fahrenheit or so. The consequences of an uncontrolled fire would have been truly catastrophic.

Hmm. A dark window on the port side indicates a previously reported situation, but nothing was said about any rapid decompression or other possible passengers injuries.

where did you get the A380 for P3D?

Tell us how many souls aboard!!

Name of the song at the very end of the video?

Oh I seen this it’s Qantas Flight 32

What about air india or air india express which caught fire a couple of days ago

A380... that's a surprise

👏👏👏👏

Hey! Stop giving the A380 a dirty name!

Video idea:Sq321

What does a Trent 900 failure on a 380 have to do with a completely different kind of failure on a CFM on a 73?

2nd from Brazil 🇧🇷

RR got a lot of flak over the Trent 900 uncontained failure & most of it was rubbish. Engines as with anything mechanical fail from time to time it`s unavoidable, new or old it doesn`t matter....it happens. While the engine manufacturers do all they can to design cowls to help contain debris, there are situations where it doesn`t work & it`s `in-the-lap-of-the-Gods` where that debris will end up. The Qantas episode was particularly unlucky as it effected pipework in the wing with bad consequences....very nasty true. But an Air France A380 fitted with EA GP7200 ( GE/P&W competitor engine to the T-900 ) had an uncontained engine failure where the large front fan & cowling sheared-of & missed the wing virtually completely which was hugely fortunate especially regarding the size of the failed parts & of course no flak given in comparison to the RR incident....very curious eh?!

Woo! Early!

Hello ,TheFlightChannel Can You make a Video of Singapore Airlines Flight 321?

hushshshs every one survived

Her name was Jennifer Riordan. RIP

In the second incident it was stated that one person was ejected in the place where there was a hole in the plane. What are the details?

How can someone being sucked out of the tiny window? Anyone can explain?

Hey story Please Singapore Airlines

I wanted to find out if anyone died on the Southwest flight and I can't find any information. Google is saying there is no information on a Southwest Flight 3472 from New York to Dallas. What??

How many reuploads man 😞

Who are all these sniveling Karen's in the comment section?? If you've seen it, don't watch it! I've never seen it, so i watched it!

He sold the channel about 6 months ago and reposts are what we get now.

During the two hours that the Quantas is on the ground and are the passengers allowed off to use a REAL bathroom?

Ill prob never fly again n thats ok fuck it 🎉

Game name pls

No way I'd fly with the "captain" on 2nd story. She sounds like a housewife.

Women rule !

1.49M subscriber it is a joke

I still can’t figure out how something that huge can get off the ground

Hey sent an email so yeah you may have received it so yeah do say the answer thanks!

First

Southwest blew it.

1st

You know, some of you just need to stop complaining. Not everyone has been following this channel since Day 1 or has had the chance to binge-watch every video that’s ever been uploaded. If it’s a video you’ve already seen and you don’t want to see it again, be a darned adult and DON’T WATCH IT! My gosh, if you hate the channel that much and/or are sooooo disappointed in it, do the rest of us a favor by unsubscribing so you’ll stop ruining it for all of us newer people who DO want to watch and enjoy the videos - regardless of the original upload date.

I

1st story, so boring. Nothing happened.

The repost channel

I'm tired of watching same videos again 😮‍💨

I'm officially done. Unsubscribing.

TheFlightChannel you are loosing viewers with posting same stuff in short version in order to get more viewers, this suppose to be real educative accident reporting channel, not instagram or tiktoklike viewer collecting BS.

Right, that’s it, I’m fed up with the new flight channel. I’m unsubscribing since I first subscribed for the original creator of The Flight Channel

What happened to this channel? Such lazy uploads lately. What happened to the passengers?

Come on, Stop reupload the Entire Old Episode. If you could have Listen, Then you should made New Episode already rather than make this Every Week

It’s not a Boeing. Who cares.

Not a fan of your new format. Go back to doing one crash per video.
