British Air Tours Flight 28M Explodes On The Runway | Air Crash Confidential S1 E6 

What I learned here is:At the first sign of trouble,LAND!😮

Two. Hundred. Points. ON AN EMERGENCY CHECKLIST?!

The more I see these investigations, more I get scared to board a flight. 😮

The wonder intro beat just gets me even more ready to watch

Personally, I would rather die than live and have 3rd degree burns over 90% of my body. Then again I'm 61 and a younger person may have a differing opinion. My heart breaks for burn victims. Especially children 😢💔 Fly at you're own risk! I no longer trust the greedy companies.

The passengers would put on the smoke hoods BEFORE landing so they shouldn't delay evacuation... Airlines are just too cheap.

The Air Canada disaster just blows my mind. There was no regulation requiring the captain to bring the plane down immediately.......yet the flight attendant discharged a fire extinguisher hoping to resolve whatever it was causing the smoke???? Damn! If a fire extinguisher is discharged, or if there is a suggestion on board the aircraft that a fire extinguisher might be needed, the plane needs to be brought down IMMEDIATELY. Which is the rule of today, but common sense should've brought that Air Canada flight down to land much sooner. Never assume that any mechanical issue is resolved aboard an aircraft at 35,000ft.

😢 As a 70yo _non_ -flying English woman, who has never even been _on_ an aeroplane, my thoughts, my fears - especially through watching such videos as this - are immense, plus my sorrow for all who suffer and die as a consequence of these accidents. My heartfelt condolences to everyone who has been involved in any of these horrendous incidents. I simply _cannot_ imagine how anyone could survive, even if they got away from the planes, initially ...as has already been commented, burns etc.... Serious smoke inhalation, the sheer shock of such awful occurrences... It's beyond imaginings. 😢💔😢💔😢💔 ...Rest In Peace...

Horrifying! Every time I fly, this is on my mind from takeoff to landing. What a horrible way to go.

What is so stupid is that 15 point check the captains must do before they leave the burning plain. The plain is on fire! To hell with your stupid book of rules

Not having smoke hoods because they take time to put on makes no sense; Most fires on planes starts while it's still in the air. The hoods can be put on while still in the seats. It's not like passengers have better things to do, than buying themselves more time, while the pilots gets them down. Also there will be a few moments between the plane landing and comming to a complete stop. Seconds where its not yet safe to get out of the seats, but being in a brace position are no longer needed. Sounds like a perfect time to put on a smoke hood if they haven't already. To me this sounds like a classic case of money vs safety. The cost of putting smoke hoods on every plane is not worth the lives saved from the Industries point of view- the lack of them won't make people refuse to fly with the airline, thereby hurting their bottom line.

The guy who stated that “it’s all about speed.“ Probably shouldn’t be allowed to have his job. Yes getting out fast is good. But what might work in a controlled laboratory environment with people who know what’s about to happen in the test is one thing. But when you have a plain load of regular citizens, all of which coming from various walks of life and various mental states. We don’t know what people do or we do in a high stress situation. Some people panic, others frees up some stay calm. Some people become extremely violent literally to the point where they don’t care about the safety of others. They simply put their own safety ahead of everybody else. Trying to get out of the plane fast is definitely a good thing, but not to the point where you could potentially cause injury and death. I think having the Hood is a much better idea. I used to be a firefighter and firefighting relies heavily on speed, but also on kind of like a balancing act between speed and survivability. The five seconds it could take to just simply slip a hood over your head in my mind is no different than the seconds that it takes for a person to put their emergency life vest on. I think the main reason here why Smok hoods are not being adopted is simply due to one thing. Money. The airlines don’t want to pay to have all of their aircraft installed with this extra piece of equipment. And this is not new. Earlier in the days of air travel , there were aircraft where they didn’t even like the idea of putting flotation devices in them. The same could be for other types of safety equipment, and such. As bad as this is going to sound in the eyes of many different aviation companies and such, they are probably thinking that it is much less expensive to deal with a dead person than it is a living person who may very well suffer injury, be at physical or psychological. Just like everything else in the world in the end, it all boils down to money. And unfortunately, it’s going to take the loss of a much larger aircraft like a 747 or one of those new double-decker airbus planes or something similar to have a massive disaster before any kind of measure is going to be taken. It’s unfortunate but sadly this always seems to be the case. There’s a saying in the world. Safety regulations are written in blood.

Ten times the EXPLOSIVE energy of TNT? Bolx.

If it’s Boeing ,I ain’t going 🎉🎉🎉

SWISS AIR FLIGHT 111 FASCINATES ME. I FLEW SWISS AIR FROM ZURICH TO JFK. MOST LUXUORIOUS COMFORTABLE FLIGHT OF MY LIFE

Changes in aircraft safety is often written in the blood of those who DIED.

Air Canada 621 in 1970 was the worst accident in Air Canada's history..109 people died when it crashed while landing in Toronto. Maybe a little research next time.

Why are not sprinklers on board ,?

Had I been the Captain of that plane I never would’ve considered following the checklist.

They should have had a wee on the towels. That’s how the initial protection from WW1 gas attacks worked.

Flight 111 never had a chance. Out of all the air ceashes, this one is the saddest most tragic and emotional for me. All the people that list their lives and got mangled and roasted. Who the hell did this? The fleet is in it’s 20’s now. They need new planes. I’m going to get a job there and try and engineer one so the rest of them don’t get ro as sted. JC! Tidy up, air craft foljs. Dude.

Aircraft explosions can happen to anybody at any time. Audience wishes hapless victims & grieving survivors all the best. Cheers!

I still don’t understand why they don’t just use marshmallows to cover the plane to stop the fires

You would think with all of the technology available to us today that there would be multiple cameras available to the pilots to view the entire aircraft inside and out. As well as on board fire suppression like a race car might have...

Jet fuel is kerosene and is not explosive. It take a lot of heat to get it to burn as a liquid. If vaporized by a turbine engine it will ignite or by burning/liquefied metal.

But if the wiring was on fire and cutting out the essentials in the plane wouldn't it likely burn through the wires lighting up the floor?

The one in Manchester is really scary. They were on the ground.

Surely there could be a system of cameras to allow the pilots to see the outside of the plane.

So sad

There's no such thing as fuel that won't burn in open air

That's the reason why I don't like to travel via air Even I don't let my husband to book flight tickets, i ask him to go by train

The flight attendants had zero control on that plane. I saw one where the plane was burning like this and 95% made it off because they were structured in manging the situation.

U.S. had anti gravity propulsion in 1954 , big oil blocked use .

6:07 Atc : 28m theres a lot of fire Captain: Do we need to evacuate passengers

Yet you show an Airbus in the thumbnail. Smh

Swiss Air 111, with a new entertainment - system causing a fire! Wtf, I don't need any entertainment; I'd rather arrive alive!

How to make the smoke less toxic ?

what I learned here is what I have always learned! People are unimportant"money is important"it's a very sick world to live in!

Well if theres a big bang something is really wrong so if you have them extinguishers in ebgines activate even in them days surely Air stewardess helped,good job ATC had good visual ifthe plane

MD11 or DC10 it's safety record has always been dubious electrical fires not uncommon, cargo doors opening, engines exploding or detachment. MD has been known for it's bean counting and pushing through production and since amalgamation with Boeing we're seeing the same unlearned lessons in pushed productivity resulting in tradgedy.

My plane is on fire and I’m near the airport, but I need to follow the checklist and dump my fuel. I get the reason, but doesn’t a burning plane override a damn checklist?

Our friend Boeing..

It's amazing how many of these "worst ever" accidents occur on the ground. The worst ever in British history, the worst ever in Canadian history. Tenerife - the worst accident of all time. All on the ground. It seems you're safer in the sky than in the ruddy thing when it's on the ground!

It seems to me that the main problem was in the electrical engineer department.

had to be a 737

🥰🥰🥰🤔🤔🤔🤔

I agree with Timble for once I agree with the British

Probably an Airbust...Sorry Airbus...

Flight-Fuel is 6 times stronger then tnt - Trinitrotoluol. So sorry, that solar-nrg is not available for passenger carrying aeroplanes, yet. What really is shocking, how lessons to learn just are ignored by both, carriers and producing facilities. For example: Boeing and door for luggage. 2 times American carriers and one Turkish Airlines. So sorry for relatives :((

jet fuel has 10 times the explosive energy of tnt. So why are they using tnt?

BOEING AIRCRAFT ARE REALLY SAFE, THEIR DOORS POP OPEN BEFORE ANY EMERGENCY. I GUESS BOEING'S MOTTO IS "BE PREPARED".

Was it really necessary to put veiled women on a Swiss plane for this documentary? As a Swiss citizen I feel insulted

The Cincinnati, Ohio Airport is actually in Hebron, Kentucky. Cincinnati is across the Ohio River. I had some cousins that worked at that Airport. One wouldn't get on a plane again after he seen this. If they were coming from Dallas they should've been able to land at Lexington, KY. I guess they might've already flown over Lexington?

Why would a combustion can explode? It has air coming into it, it has air inside it being being burned, it has cooling air all around it and all of this air is travelling from front to rear.

What??? Army, especially navy uses another kind of fuel? a less flammable???!!!! I am feeling so sad for relatives. And then that!! What went wrong in the nineties. I remember this feeling of "war is over". We missed this chance. Fearing communism Boris Jelzin was "installed" and in the background: "Hurrah".

feul ? .... wait what ?? .... ??? does that mean .... i did not mean this plane but .... 9/11 ....

what yall ran out of new mayday episodes already so now ur airing a copycat program lol

if you don't get The Flight That Fought Back by time on September 11th anniversary, I'll never like your channel anymore the deal is off

The smoke hoods are a stupid idea. That flash over is worse than the smoke. Get the f off but don't PANIC!!!!!!!!!! It's easier said than done but it would take to long to put the hood on.

Bad pilots. Land as soon as possible. air canada; that explains it. I'll never fly air canada. One of the worst airlines there is. Combination of the worst aircraft there is as well.

HALIFAX HAS LONG RUNWAYS (IT'S CIVILIAN / MILITARY) AND THE PLANE COULD HAVE CRASH LANDED AND EVERYONE ESCAPED. ALL THOSE DEAD JUST SO PEOPLE COULD WATCH MOVIES! PEGGY'S COVE IS A BEAUTIFUL AREA AND THE BIRTH PLACE OF SINGER ANNE Murray (78 in 2024). STILL IT'S BETTER THAN AMERICAN - THEY HAD THE LARGE SCREENS ON WHEN THEY CRASHED.

this is old and been uploaded before

WOW, Girlie BOUNCED, to hell with her new boyfriend she jumped up pushed over old ladies small kids and ran!!! Then had the nerve to say no I don't feel guilty, I had to go!

Thats why im happy i have never flown and never will 😂

The one in Manchester is really scary. They were on the ground.
