The odds of two commercial aircraft being in the same airspace at the same moment, at the same altitude, in the vast western sky, in 1956....seem infinitesimal. But learning that these aircraft all fly to common waypoints on their routes, thereby potentially bringing them in proximity to other aircraft, does increase the odds substantially. Thankful we have TCAS now.

there were some bald-faced lies: both flights positioned to give the passengers low altitude views of the grand canyon and not at 21k ft, why they collided. the USN/USMC brought that out. and the recovery of remains from the sides of the canyon walls was nearly a year-long process. a real american horror story.

There are more coincidences than that. 1. The aircraft involved on both crashes are a United Douglas aircraft (UA718 uses DC-7, UA826 uses DC-8) and a TWA Super Constellation. 2. Both United aircraft came from the right side of the TWA Connies and shears the rear fuselage with one of its wings from there, albeit TW266 is more severe as UA826 also ripped out the roof of the front fuselage and the right wing. 3. Both United aircraft manages to stay up for roughly a minute after collision despite having a badly damaged wing and one less outermost engine before impact.

It's pretty coincidental that I like swiss cheese. Aviation accidents are like that, a lot. Multiple things go wrong and make multiple holes in multiple slices. The only thing that has to happen then for a disaster to take place is for all the created holes to line up. Thank you, TFC, for another amazing video, and I thank the pilots of everyday air travel as well for being able to get the aircraft, and its occupants, to a safe end of flight.

That's not surprising. By the time a pilot can visually see a plane on collision course, that pilot usually has almost no chance of actually avoiding that collision. Although I'm sure time stretches out horribly, as it will when a ton of adrenaline hits your system. 😰 Your brain literally overclocks, in other words, so time appears to slow down. Edit: I almost got in a head-on with a wrong-way driver (in a big pickup truck) on the freeway (when I was in a compact car). That was really interesting.

One young boy actually initially survived the collision over NYC. However, he died from his injuries a day later. Here are footages and interviews from the time : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gti_6AS-zo0.html

The child had been placed in a glassed-in nursery and was surrounded by doctors, nurses, equipment. The doctors spoke quietly, each weighing in on his area of expertise: the head of orthopedics saying he wanted to set Stephen's broken leg, but could not because of the burns; the plastic surgeon speaking of skin grafts. The chief of pediatrics, of surgery. They were all there. Then she saw him. He was so badly burned, she could not tell what race he was. A bone stuck out of one of his legs. He was covered only by a small, sterilized sheet on his groin. ''They couldn't even cover him with a sheet because of the bacteria factor,'' she said. ''He was just open wounds all over. I've never seen someone burned like this.'' She was put somewhat at ease by the experts milling around. ''They all kind of worked together, they had to,'' she said. ''It was just a case that I don't think many people get to see in a lifetime.'' As each doctor noticed Miss Stull, he updated her briefly on Stephen's condition and what could be expected during the night. She started to have a sickened feeling. One by one, their orders given, the doctors headed out the door, and not long after 12:30 a.m. the nurse realized that she was alone with two young nursing students and Stephen Baltz. ''When I got there, every chief of every service was on the floor, and I thought, 'It's not going to be too bad, all the people here to help me.' Because, you see, decisions had to be made that nursing usually doesn't do. But everyone disappeared.'' Silence, except for Stephen's halting breaths. HER training kicked in. First, check his respiration by watching his chest gently rise and fall. Next, his fluids, his blood and urine. Every 10 minutes she updated her logbook. She stood the whole time. There was only one chair in the room, and a nursing student was asleep in it. Stephen had also been sleeping when she got there, but a little later, he suddenly chirped up with the bell-like voice of a healthy child. He wanted to know where he was, he felt fine, he wanted a television. ''You stood there looking at this little boy,'' she said, ''and he was saying this, and you know to me it still is the weirdest thing that I've ever seen.'' She couldn't explain that the need to keep the room sterile prevented her from bringing in a television set. ''Maybe tomorrow,'' she said gently. ''I don't think we have one right now. I'll see about finding one.'' They looked at each other, eye to eye. Then he dozed off. That happened again and again. Stephen had been alone on the plane because his mother and sisters had flown east from Chicago a few days earlier to spend Christmas with his aunt, but he had been delayed by a sore throat. When his parents arrived at the hospital, they were given a room nearby. Every hour, Stephen's father, William S. Baltz, vice president of the Admiral Corporation of Chicago, which made television sets, came to the room. Calmly, he leaned over his son. ''I remember how he was with Stephen, and how he was able to come in and talk to Stephen as if nothing was wrong,'' she said. ''I never saw him break down, and that was amazing. I didn't have children then, but you could just imagine.'' It was one of the longest nights of the year. The boy's breaths continued, and grayish light filtered in from the windows. Around 7 a.m., a doctor reappeared. Soon, the room was crowded. The administrators filed in. So did more doctors, students from around the hospital to see this unique case, and her own replacement. A feeling of euphoria came over Miss Stull. ''I felt wonderful, and he seemed more alert,'' she said. ''I decided, you know, he's going to make it. Three-quarters of your patients die in those midnight-to-8 a.m. hours. Everyone was quite surprised, even pleased, and they said it's beginning to look like things are settling down a bit.'' She headed back to her apartment. It was going to be a beautiful, clear winter day. Stephen Baltz died at 10 a.m.

Climb to 21,000 is not allowed so the pilot decided to do it anyways by hiding it as cloud level + 1000. That is what caused the collision.

America's worst disaster? Are you kidding? You should add "prior to 1978" in your title. What about September 1978 in California with 144 fatalities, May 1979 in Illinois with 271 fatalities, July 1982 in Louisiana with 153 fatalities, Aug 1985 in Dallas with 137 fatalities, Aug 1987 in Michigan with 156 fatalities, September 1994 in Pennsylvania with 132 fatalities, July 1996 in New York with 230 fatalities, and of course the terrorist attack in September 2001 in New York? These crashes in 1956 and 1960 were not America's worst airline disasters.

9/11 should never be reckoned as an airline disaster; it was a terrorist attack and planes were simply the weapon of choice. Airline disasters come from proper use of aircraft gone wrong, whether from pilot error, mechanical failure, or other causes.

I was 7 living in suburb of Chicago at the time of the NYC crash. I remember TV was interrupted and they put on a "crawl" of the names of the dead from the Chicago plane on the news. I could be wrong but it *seemed* like they did that late the same day of the event; I remember my house was very solemn when that accident happened. My Dad was a designer for Sears and flew a lot - there was concern he might've known someone on that flight. 📺
@nobody7817
@nobody7817 2 года назад
The older generations were like that. My Dad was a WWII vet. I remember during Vietnam, he would watch the news nightly. When the dead were announced, you better not make a sound. He was going through the names with a pen and paper in hand. If he recognized a name--you can bet that a call was being placed to 411 or to HQMC (Head Quarters Marine Corps). I grew up hating that conflict because I didn't understand it, and could not figure out why it had to impact our lives at home. Now I just despise conflict. (Yes, I too, spent 22.5 years in the USMC).

I found out by happenstance that I had a 2nd cousin who was a flight attendant on the UAL plane that crashed in Park Slope. A couple of years ago I was visiting my grandparent's grave when I noticed a headstone a few feet away with a picture of a jet airplane etched into it (an unusual thing that caught my eye), and she had a familiar family-related last name. I was in the midst of doing family research at the time, and found out who she was and the circumstances. It happened before I was born, so never heard anyone mention it. Stumbling upon this video is kind of a coincidence. I wasn't really looking for it, just came up on the sidebar when I was looking at another video.

For the time. IIRC there was the American Airlines crash at O'Hare, also. 9/11 was deliberate, so for at least a few really bloody-minded people, it was _awesome._ Our actions of retribution afterward helped spread Islamic Fundamentalism in the Middle East, long term. Just noting.
