A Boeing 732 registered N9005U, attempted to takeoff from runway 09 at Philadelphia International Airport in Pennsylvania, on 19 july 1970, but it ended up on the ground, making this the first hull loss of of a 737.
That wasn't my point.Read my comment again. I gave no opinion about that particular incident and what the pilot should or should not have done. I'm not an expert in that area. Accident investigators ARE. My point was that since pilot error is a factor in about 75 % of aircraft incidents/accidents, critiquing is valid. It often leads to recommendations about how pilots should handle specific situations. It can, and has, lead to changes in emergency check lists. And changes in pilot training.
This is a perfect example why flight attendants are trained to prepare for an unexpected emergency for EVERY take-off and EVERY landing. Why do passengers resent that? It boggles my mind!
with so few seconds left to take the correct action... a voice alert stating "left turbine failing", or both or right one only, etc might come in handy instead of having to rely upon gathering all the information necessary when you are in a hurry in such a stressful situation ...
and / or the computer saying... statistical data recommends '... continue to take off', so as to take a bit of responsibility off from the pilots shoulders when you are too close to the ground and no time left almost... (if they have more time and or altitude they can decide to override the computer if they knew better...)
Working with what he believed he had (2 failed engines), I can't fault the captain's decision to put it back down. There was, however, a breakdown of SOPs. When the left engine failed, the captain was the pilot monitoring. Since they were past V1 (and V2) the PF should have maintained directional control and climbed out no slower than V2 and the captain (PM) should've assessed the problem and began to work it at a safe altitude. That didn't happen, however, and thankfully there was no fire and no fatalities. There are a lot of airports where that wouldn't have been the outcome. PS As an airline pilot, I had my one and only engine failure (a catastrophic failure) on take while departing KPHL. (RWY 27L)
If I was on that flight I would consider that crew hero's, there was not time to figure out the entire situation, so give them a break ffs.......everyone lived everyone went home!!! Sometimes thinking out of the box and using instincts is the better way!
As long as no-one was hurt everything else is secondary. You have seconds to react. You don't have all the information you need. The pilot did what he had to work with and good job.
It is possible that the aircraft in the reconstruction did not have the livery used by the accident aircraft, they used the “Saul Bass” livery instead as a replacement for the “Stars and Bars” livery
Excellent video as always. However the scheme in 1970 for United was blue and red, maybe the Friendship livery? The one used in video was introduced in the latter half of the 70’s.
I didn't think anybody else had seen that movie. The pier was supposed to be taken away, but the contractors went on a hunting trip. Thus the pier caused a fatal air crash. Decent film.
The particular United "Tulip" livery design on this aircraft in this video is incorrect for the time period of 1970. In 1970, United was still using their iconic "Friendship" livery, not this one.
As United Airlines did not yet have the tulip logo in 1970, this video must have been shot at least 4 or more years later. United's 1970 logo was the red, White & blue 4 star friendship logo.
United has advertised they wish to hire black female pilots,not the best pilots they can find regardless of race creed color ect. I will not fly on united!!!
You should not believe everything you see or hear. But is was likely a "reasonable" replay of what happened using a computerized flight simulator. In the 1970s nobody had cell phones with cameras in them. Thus real videos of such dramatic events are usually not available.
@@annsheridan12 I guess I'm not seeing what role you're thinking DEI played in this crash. That's what's confusing me. Sorry if I'm not picking up on your meaning.
