ENGINE FIRE ON TAKEOFF | Damage by Shrapnel found afterwards! 

So you're saying the shrapnel entered from the exterior and not an uncontained engine failure? That would be extremely concerning.

Only the fan blades are required to be contained in the event of an engine failure - there is no amount of shielding that can be installed to protect HPT components, especially at TO / climb thrust. Holes in the engine almost always = HPT. As for why that failed, that’s a good question. Likely maintenance missed some sort of metal fatigue during an inspection - some of these -200s are really getting up there in age.

​@@EstorilEmWhat is HPT please?

​​@@JuttutinHPT = High pressure turbine. The first stages of the turbine directly after the combustion chamber. They are under high stress especially during takeoff due to high rotational speed and temperature

@@Juttutin high pressure tubrine

My thoughts exactly 😂🥲

To be fair, Japan is very good at very straight forward, polite, and getting things done correctly and properly.

That's what i'd expect if i declared a mayday

@@freemanolI mean in JFK they’d put you number three for the runway and give you an attitude if you slowed down early 😂

Very impressed with those first two controllers. They clearly have had training on how to handle the harder to pronounce sounds of the english language.

In Japanese L and R are the same letters. Not easy for them to distinguish sometimes. Same with Korean.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that Japanese English speakers sometimes get R and L mixed up (e.g. pronouncing “friends” as “flends”). Interesting to hear that they’re literally the same in Japanese.

Japanese ATC and pilots are only allowed to speak english.

​@@ravingcyclist624😂😂talk about making life that little more confusing

Your written English is perfect! I keep trying to learn French, la lutte continue. :(

Japanese people hate speaking English even more than the French

Polar crew was definitely worried about infringing on strict ATC rules and the controller was telling them the equivalent of "do whatever you need to do".

It's good to hear that emergency training for controllers is reaching reality. I remember back in 2011 our training was specifically modified for this kind of proactive action.

And that's exactly how it should be. The emergency aircraft does whatever it needs to do, while ATC moves everything else out of the way as needed.

Exactly how it should be. "Let us know where you want to go and we'll keep everyone out of your way". Maybe something the FAA should be passing on to ATC in the USA?

@@BabyMakR It's not as simple as that everywhere. There are plenty of locations and times worldwide where that would cause even more problems. At this time and place they could do it.

Truth be told, Journey is/was very popular in Japan

But do they have a couple of backup singers, a guitarist and a drummer in the tower? 🤣

@@stephenp448 The controllers have a cover band. They call themselves “Jefferson ATC”.

100%

agreed ...she I can not make out 95% of what she said

Totally true! Except for some airports in the US 😉

I thought the same thing. My son asked why I was listening to all these plane crash videos and I said actually what I've been hearing is how 99% of the time the pilots and controllers do a fantastic job of handling anything that comes up and safely completing their flights.

@@jenniferwatson4529 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

They are pros

she is very well trained...

I liked that last 'Roger' from the Tower! 😊

Just amazing

Destination ANC, or LAX?

Red circles? I think you’re talking about the ingestion zone hazard markings.

The red circles are for ground crew safety so they don't walk into a propeller or jet intake. It's nothing to do with loss of engine parts. On literally every airliner, passengers sit in the engines parts' planes of rotation.

In fairness, I found the woman controller very difficult to understand without subtitles.

@@R32R38 Had no problem understanding her.

@@rztrzt I often have trouble with foreign accents, so that may be it.

@@R32R38 Fair enough, no problemo.

It's called "Japanglish"

I’ve seen some arguments (including from Kelsey of 74 Gear) that not having the cameras can actually increase safety in some situations. Basically, if you’re forced to take your instrument readings at face value and not waffle around trying to see if there’s a problem using the cameras, you’ll probably respond more safely than if you had cameras. This is just what I’ve heard, I’m not necessarily a proponent of this view.

@@jakint0sh that’s interesting - thanks

Few-ell on board.

You're dealing with 2 sets of language barriers - Japanese-English, English-Spanish (Victor's language). There is no mention of "shrapnel" in the Japanese official reports.

I don't think there's anything that says shrapnel has to be from an exterior explosion of something nearby. I think the shrapnel here is generic flying pieces of debris, from some source, causing damage. Possibly exterior, tire blowing or something also causing the engine issue. Possible something let loose from the inside, engine, hydraulics, retracted gear tire, etc.

GIINA is a waypoint. Waypoints are (almost) always 5 letters that can be pronounced somewhat as a word. When you see that pattern, just like BOSPA and SUPOK, those are all waypoints, more commonly called fixes, officially called Navigational Aid Intersections or NAVAIDS.

@@Dexi Thank you 👍🏼(I’m still learning). Q1: Are the NAVAIDS some kind of radio beacons? Or are they just a position/area/region on the map? Q2: in other words, how do the pilots know where it is located? Q3: are the names (GIINA, etc) acronyms? Q4: why are the 2 waypoints over the water signified with a diamond shape, whereas the GIINA is signified by a triangle? Thanks in advance for any response. (I’ll shut up now) 😁

​@@_Breakdown Disclaimer, I'm not a pilot, just an aviation enthusiast. 1. There are different kinds. NDB, VOR, VOR/DME, TACAN (military), etc. Today, with GNSS (including GPS), a lot of waypoints are not associated to any physical equipment but just GNSS coordinates. 2. Pilots have maps, approach plates, etc., showing them. Modern navigational systems can show maps with nearby waypoints. For navigation, the radio beacons allow picking up direction and/or distance. Otherwise, navigation is by GPS, and coordinates for the waypoint names are stored in the navigation databases in the aircraft's FMS (flight management system). 3. I'm not super familiar with naming, but generally not acronyms as far as I know-they're often named after people, places, things, etc., that have some significance to the area (like the city an airport is in), but this will probably depend on the area. 4. Not 100% sure but I think SUPOK and BOSPA are fly-by waypoints, whereas GIINA is a reporting point.

@@Laogeodritt Good explanation, but I just wanted to clarify a couple of things. 3. Waypoint names are not acronyms. They are globally unique five-letter identifiers that the people in charge of naming try to make more or less pronounceable. Some have names based on location (OSWEG near the town of Lake Oswego or SCAPO near the town of Scappoose), some are based on local businesses (NNIKE and INTLL into Hillsboro, OR) and some are just humorous (the RNAV (GPS) RWY 16 approach into KPSM has waypoints, from the initial approach fix to the missed approach holding fix, called ITAWT, ITAWA, PUDYE, TTATT, IDEED. [I think you have to be an old fart like me to appreciate the humor.]) 4. SUPOK and BOSPA are, indeed, fly-by waypoints. Fly-over waypoints have a circle around them. SUPOK and BOSPA are diamonds because they are RNAV waypoints, defined by GNSS coordinates. GIINA, which is known as an intersection, is a triangle because it's based on ground-based navaids. For an excruciatingly deep dive into all things aviation, I recommend reading _Aeronautical Information Manual, Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Airplane Flying Handbook, Instrument Flying Handbook,_ and _Instrument Procedures Handbook._ They are all available for free download on the FAA website. If you prefer nicely printed and bound copies, several vendors sell them for reasonable prices.

@@johnopalko5223 Thanks! Appreciate the clarifications.

It's lack of standardization. The assumption going in from both pilots and controllers is English is everyone's first language, so we get lazy with adherence to ICAO terms/phrases.

At least they didn't declare an emergency.

@@johnhaller5851they stated MAYDAY MAYDAY MADAY. I’m pretty sure that counts.

I think they did decent. They stated MAYDAY MAYDAY MADAY then said they were leveling off. The flight crew is already in an insanely busy stage of flight then had an emergency dumped in their laps. They have flows and checklist out the ass to complete. Other than confirming the heading initially comms were fine, controllers should know the workload of the flight crew and she did a good job being ready to assist when needed.

@@UpAndReady Time for Yanks to stop getting lazy then. The ICAO phraseology was devised for a reason and it works well in most of the world. It's just a lack of discipline and sloppy operating that allows it to deteriorate by US crews/ATC.

Back then you had a Flight Engineer to help with navigation and checklists and with so many fewer routes you were a lot more familiar with the area. You can still find old birds with flight engineers and placarded LORAN equipment today. I think the AN-225 had all those old instruments.

Terrain: Just go higher. MVA was probably well below what they already wanted to fly. Other traffic: Guess why controller said that any direction was okay? Because they had control of the airspace. So pilots could just focus on flying at the speed and altitude and direction as they wanted while taking care of the most early important stuff.

@@Xanthopteryx It is more helpful if altitude and heading is given.

I disagree. I'd rather be put in a hold. Vectors mean every couple minutes ATC is going to interrupt me, in a hold I can simply program the FMS. Once I'm established I have plenty of uninterrupted time to accomplish my checklist, communicate with the company, allow for a thorough briefing, and allow any other traffic in the area to be safely vectored.

@@nikh9080 Yes I agree. A hold is much simpler if your Area Navigation is unaffected but the first thing you need is a vector and an altitude so you are safe from terrain and traffic. After that you can proceed to a nice hold and relax.

More likely they were just pronouncing things more clearly for the Japanese controllers (at least that’s what it seemed like to me). Either way, you’ve got to admit everything was handled very smoothly by both parties.

It’s very common when you are speaking to someone who clearly is not fluent in your language. You will hesitate and make choices of words to try to make that person understand you better.

has zit to do with Boeing.

Are you an instructor pilot at United in Colorado making dumb racist comments on youtube?

@@UncleSubBass-qe5zy Definitely racist, I hope they're not an instructor.

@@UncleSubBass-qe5zy 😂😂 cry about it soyboy

Any pilot whose level of self-control would lead them to make that comment, will eventually be featured on this channel.

@@UncleSubBass-qe5zy Wouldn’t you like to know, weather boy 😂😂

I am afraid that the pilots will not get much appreciation from the passengers as this is a cargo flight. cabin crew will not be there also😂

Cargo don’t complain 😉
