Airlander crash lands after second flight 

I hope the lady holding the camera is okay after that seizure while filming

This must be the same cameraman that shoots the Bigfoot and UFO films

Props for being able to film whilst standing on a galloping horse

This is what I like about air ships. Even when you are crashing there is time to get bored while still being safe.

i love how chill the pilot is, like he's just dangling out the side all the time

still wonder who is the worst : cameraman or pilot ?

Don’t EVER use digital zoom without digital stabilization!

If I ever have to be in a crash, I want someone who does know how to use a camera filming it.

The HindenButt.

The sudden loss of hight at the front looks like the gas that lifts the blimp got imbalanced and shifted to the back. Do not know much about that thing but I'm pretty sure the the engineers were smart enough to put in separate cells for the gas to prevent this, aren't they? Greetings from Germany - Home of the Hindenburg and the Zeppelin NT

for people criticizing the cameraman, he didnt have a tripod, when you zoom, every little movement is a huge distortion, and yet you could see the pilot siting in in the wreck cockpit

OH THE HUMANITY 😫

If I ever have to be in an aircraft "crash", I want to be in one like this: happens in slow motion at a few MPH or less, and everyone walks away unhurt.

The camera guy zooming must be a Hindenburg survivor. No other explanation possible.

I’m surprised there isn’t the usual hysterical woman screaming in the background

I’m so exited to see this camera shake I’m reading about.

Terrain, terrain, pull Up, pull Up!!!

The kind of crash that noone is scared of....

As we say in the airship business: "Blimpin' ain't easy..."

Next time give the phone to someone that doesn’t have Parkinson’s

A person could have a seizure watching this

Nice work getting the pic Angela (in 2016). Lots of tips coming through which is helpful. Two from me: best not to zoom - you may not like what you see - and secondly, find something or someone to lean on - who knows what may transpire and to miss it or mess it up may be a significant loss, not least to incident investigators. Thanks for sharing.

I like how the camera was patient enough to wait until it zoomed in to start shaking

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one! Especially in an airship!

Lady: If somebody's shaking less than me they can hold the camera. Me: Please, somebody take the darn camera! Anyone! 🤣

Nobody: The cameraman: im going to have Parkinson right now

The cameraman must be laughing so hard at all the comments on her shooting skills because I sure am! LOL

I would never have the patience to be a blimp pilot

Looks like he STUCK the landing. So to speak.

Well, more like a rather rough landing than an all-out crash.

Damn, 6 mins of my life I'll never get back. Thanks .

How many people died ? None ? Can almost not call it a crash.

"everyone can borrow my head." 😆 that child is going to become a legend growing up with airships.

The pilot only had ONE job... Dont smash the cockpit into the ground !

Thanks for sharing!!!

Someone please arrest the guy who is filming

That craft must be very heavy, it seems to have caused an earthquake when it hit the ground..

Zooming in and walking gives me a headache

May I suggest 2X playback speed?

(Peppa Pig voice): "George, you've done it all wrong!!"

I shouldve taken motion sickness pills before watching this....

Love how they sell this as a “quiet” aircraft

Glad to see that Michael J. Fox is bouncing back as a cameraman...

The worlds most hopeless cameraman .... 5:40 ....

"There's movement in there, there's movement in there." No my dear, you are the movement 🤭😏

1st rule of flying - Don't break the aircraft!

😎 GREAT camera work , Shakes !!!!!

Poorest photography I have seen. 🥺

That wasn't a crash just a hard landing. Mis judgement on speed and maneuverability and agility.

Like... I can’t even understand why all the movement unless that lady was epileptic.

They blamed the crash on everything and everyone except the person who flew a perfectly functioning aircraft into the ground.

I dislike blimps and hot air balloons more than words can describe. It’s like letting a very good but very drunk pilot fly. It might go well or it might not

Like the old hindenburg but family friendly

They need to have some kind of buffer like an airbag between the cockpit and the ground given the obvious difficulties they have controlling the thing while descending.

Very beautiful, I loved it! I hope nothing more serious happened with the pilot.

Exactly why the Germans used grounds crews and tethering pylons to land, the air circulating around the airship from its engines and the breeze as it gets close to the ground causes a coanda effect which is difficult to predict

Everything was fine, until you decided to zoom ... 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Now, its airCRUSHER.

Pilot did a great effort. Almost made the first sucsessful reverse landing. Maybe in wind landing would be a better idea?

[Unnecessary comment on the number of unnecessary comments regarding a camera that miraculously, audaciously, disrespectfully had the temerity to shake when zoomed in 20x--evidently because the person filming actually cared if the pilot was okay.]

slightly underpowered - imagine it in heavy wind

Maybe try to resist the temptation to have a second Costa Coffee prior to filming.

That’s crazy man in their flying machines

Great camera work at the most critical part. Brick

Ground effect, local weather conditions and very indirect controls make this a difficult thing to pull off reliably and safely. Without a way to transition from buoyant to thrust or lift driven flight, these will remain a curiosity at least on this planet. Variable buoyancy designs exist but share the same weakness of poor control authority and wind intolerance. Simple solution. Fire grapplers at the ground, have them burrow/anchor (robotically) and reel the ship in levelly using software to keep it balanced as you compress your helium or vent/exchange hot air.

Never film whilst drunk!

Please do not give her a camera ever again.

Well... HERE’s TO another great invention of mankind!!! Can you imagine the ‘blooper reel’ that the gods could post on RU-vid? Problem is, if we think there are too many RU-vid ads NOW... 😬

5:44 onward, Camera operator needs to lay off the Starbucks. LMAO.

JFC set the thing on top of something before you zoom for stability.. You zooming in that camera probably made the pilot dizzy and caused him to crash..LOL

How does it fly

cant tell what was worse the landing or the camera work

I love big ass airships!

Anything is worth loading on this site. I’m getting sea sick!

Bro these comments about the lady shaking had me dead😂😂

Nice camera work!

I think it's wasn't coming down and the pilot wanted his lunch and thought duck it, I will crash it ha

4:14 I thought I saw a butt

So how all of a sudden does the camera just shake all over the place ?

“I can’t see what’s going on” yeah no shit neither can I after that seizure

Pilot Error : He had to reverse the propulsion backwrds .... instead of lifting the vector thrust upwards ...

The guy who designed this is from the UK? HE grew up watching the THUNDERBIRDS. This is so Thunderbird#5 the green one.

No dejo de acordarme de la pelicula del zepellin Hindenburg cuando veo ese zepellin AIRLANDER .sobretodo cuando se detiene en el aire . Es como ver cuando soltaron los lastres para llévalo a la torre de amarre .claro que la estabilidad de ese zep era increíble...

Who was the accident, the cameraman or the plane

Great: now, who’s gonna clean up all that sick, now that the video has made me nauseated? Hmm? Well??!

That thing handles like a boat I once owned

Never seen anyone try so hard to stop flying.....

Armchair diagnosis. When inputting power, once the craft starts to react in the desired direction, GTFO the power! Let it stabilize. Input to counteract BEFORE you absolutely need it.

You'll never get me in that flying beach ball!

Back to the ol' drawing board.

"I don't need a tripod, I got calm hands!" (Lady filming this, 2016, colorized)

Who actually thought, "hmmm yes this will be a great idea to build"

The Airlander is now going into production. I believe they are starting on building production facilities this year (2020), as the Cardington sheds are not big enough. The production model is also longer than the prototype seen here. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-51032891 Thank you for posting this, it gives a good view of what happened. Better than other clips that I have seen.

How to film something about to happen... 1) point the camera at the thing that's about to happen. 2) dont move the camera once it starts happening!

Fantastic camera job, BTW, YOU ARE FIRED.

Seems like vertical thrusters like a ship’s azipod or bow thruster would be handy. For Christmas maybe 360 degree cameras.

The flying bum strikes again!

Diesel V8's........possibly the noisest type of engine ever

This crash was brought to you by....the speed of smell.

I dont understand why not use a computerized system with some form of gyros, sensors and feedback to control fan thrust and angle to keep the craft level and steady.
