Engines Fail on Approach to Hong Kong 

I’m guessing they were in a simulator since it obviously wasn’t in real time.

grandpa 1 this video is a re-enactment

Unfortunately there are many different types of emergencies in every flight even the best and most skilled pilots would find themselves hopeless at some point.

Charles Robinson, no matter what, keep flying the ✈️ plane. I was told that by a very experienced pilot 👨‍✈️.

Serriouly some pilot deserves extra respect

True great acting

Yeah actually

once i thought thats John Cena acting as pilot- -

They couldve shut down the engine that is out of control

@@wilsonfong4937 where though I can’t see him

😁😐 You better not Watch it..☺️

LOL

Yes because you know that the pilotsalways have a solution Even when there are two engines not working. :)

WHAT ABOUT THE VIRUS. People traveling right now because they don’t have the patience to stay home is an issue.

Yeah right

how come the engines were perfectly fine the whole flight and only malfunctioned when they were gonna land?

@@dude99844 becasue the contaminated particles of the fuel obstructed a valve, but they didn’t affect its reliability until there were plenty of them, which made the engine not to work properly (since the valve could barely move)

@@dude99844 the video is heavily edited. They were far off from landing when the engines initially failed and were expecting to crash into the ocean

74%❤

​@@dude99844 The Fuel Got Contaminated With Water and Absorbent Gel/Substance

@Georgia Gal from Wikipedia... Analysis of the engines found that their fuel systems were contaminated with spherical particles. The Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department’s Accident Investigation Division concluded that the accident was caused by these spherical particles.[8] The contaminated fuel, which contained SAP (Super Absorbent Polymers) spheres, introduced in the fuel system when the aircraft was fueled at Surabaya subsequently caused the loss of thrust control on both engines of the aircraft during approach to Hong Kong. These SAP spheres were used in the filter monitors installed in a fuelling dispenser at Juanda Airport.

It's like having both parachutes fail in you.

@@TommyTom21 Where can we watch the full episode?

That’s rare, probably a fuel issue or computer glitch

@@TommyTom21 was that the one with spheres residue in the fuel? Lucky it didnt happen in the middle of the flight..

hmm I wonder what the issue is.. could it be.. OvErSpEeD?

I know it's not appropriate but i think the engines are overspeed

Hattrick

I had no idea

They inform controll room ..it's rule.

Ikr and the acting is very good in these short movies

jack Smithsonian dont make the short movies, it's an exert from air crash investigation

arnold jack its a clip from a full 40 minute documentary

Ella Roxella Hudson miracle

There are more than you might think... unfortunately, only the most disastrous ones make it into history.

Underrated comment.

I don't see John Cena i only see an empty seat?

Yeah dude! He does look like John Cena 😅. The pilot

Hahahahaahahhaa

I dont see John Cena. Sorry.

He looks like the lead singer from imagine dragons

I did 😬

He looks like Matt Damon!

You can't see him!

ErvinLim TV Khon cents is a dam pilot

the co.s wouldn't stand for it... too much cost for manpower. in case you haven't notice there's a short of manpower for aviation...

AsHalt I’ve heard can’t be done all my career. Offer to shut them down.... and watch how the directors get things done. ;)

Jamesonthemoon he’s right. The world is actually running out of pilots. This is the reason i’ve decided to pursue aviation. I don’t think i can handle so much competition in any other sector. Hopefully one day i can successfully become a captain of a 777

Hii I am an astronaut 🤣💯

Mike G but that’s for every job you start with nothing everywhere, unless you’re starting a really successful business

ITS PRONOUNCED ENGINE FAILURE

nakhon wungwua dude chill out...

@@khonwang6263 calm down

@@khonwang6263 ☮️

Lol

You know it’s a skit right

I do know this is just acting. The story is real. Thanks for checking :)

@@Matchstick014 -You’ll definitely become a pilot Grace. We need more women in aviation, so that would be such an amazing accomplishment. Go for it! 💕

lol

ㅋㅋㅋ

being a pilot I can in fact confirm you can't get how scary it is until you find yourself in that situation

@@robotportachiavi2507 I understand that, lol. It was meant to be taken as a joke.

@@Daniel-zk4cc Playing Microsoft flight simulator in a Holiday Inn Express IS NO JOKE, sir. Well done.

And the people on the plane but whatever

@George Sturdy They saved all passengers on board. They did everything right.

This is why I personally thank the pilot as I'm stepping off the plane

George Sturdy - If possible, why not? Everyone deserves credit for a job well done at some time. Sure doesn’t hurt to thank anyone, even if they are ‘just’ doing their job.

@George Sturdy just because that's their job then you think you have right to belittle it?

Thanks for the info. Why did the engine speed up though, when reduced to idle?

This is a very important part that they left out!

@@236Mars the tainted fuel jammed the valve that controls fuel

@@sphansel3257 Oh I get it

@@wernerempire after he reduced the engine 1 in idle he tried to try to increase thrust on engine 1 multiple times and he got engine 1 to 74 percent power then he reduced the engine to idle once the engine did its job but the engine still remained at 74 percent power

They are. both pilots received Polaris Award in 2014, which the award is the highest decoration associated with civil aviation, awarded by the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations (IFALPA) to airline crews in recognition for acts of exceptional airmanship, heroic action or a combination of these two attributes.

But......its their job

It’s their job tho

Let me put this in to pespective for all the ignorant people. Youre a welder and fabricator....Would you use a grinder to cut a piece of metal knowing full well that the disc is cracked? What if youre a carpenter.... would you use a circular saw to cut through the wood with absolute certainty that the screw holding the blade was loose?

@@trrxyy1656 stop being a dumb ass

Thanks. I was hoping for an explanation in the video.

How did it get contaminated?

Loser X there was construction on fuel tanks underground and somehow salt water got into them

@@icemist5215 oh ok

peashooter101 wtf??? Crazy

Lmao

Lol😂

Bro not all Ryanair landing are hard

Stop being meme

Because you watch Smithsonian videos it's the youtube algorithm

They're not doctors lmao

@@basedneutral1173 he didn’t say pilots are doctors u idiot 😂

@@lamj3408 he did, are you blind?😂😂

They are no doctors ....cause Dr's save lives while Pilots keep lives safe

I’m sure you would Ahhhhhhhhh 10x harder than them if you were a pilot lmao

Twin Fun 🤣

this wasnt a crash tho

lol

They just want people to die

@@legosinaviation the vid or the comment

😂😂

They were like: They didnt crash so sad

😮

How is it unlikely

Scoop latte orange rose Lacey planes are the most safest way of travel

@@avalacey7550 its unlikely to the point that driving daily is deadlier than flying a plane daily

You are more likely to die in a car crash than a plane

@Warren Daysorry my bad thats what im trying to say but it cam out the other way

Bits were missing off the quick document. Later the pilot managed to get engine one back to 74 % as they were going to water ditch. The fuel was contaminated with particles, jamming the fuel metering valve, when throttle was pulled back, it jammed indefinitely at that setting.

steve N watch the actual episode

@@workonesabs Given its an airbus I assumed an ECU had gone bad.

Fuel contamination...

go watch the full ep

Holy cowcow

Was this actually real??

@@ruyariyax7948 this video is just a reenactment. the event did happen though.

@@harryfluellen Yes I know what is a heavy landing. Another weird thing is that they dont burn any fuel during the video.. In the beginning of the video: FOB 20040 KG In the end of the video: FOB 20040 KG 😁

@Xotic Yeah, these recreations are not really good always and some of the animations are horrible but at least you get the idea of what happened.

Thats wrong in this animation.

They can dump the fuel ⛽.. But ignored.. 20000 KG of weight... Dumping fuel will reduce the impact and explosion too..

Imagine the momentum

Risma Manullang yep

nah, u need the gears to be retracted, the planes on fire and at least one of the engines to fall of to get hired

Dr. Ducky how about everything just fell off

@@itsdanguo0519 that could work too

LOL

You should have been praying through Jesus Christ.

@@donnaking7439 why? Plane got down safe and sound. Besides, I'm not Christian, so it would have made no sense for me to do so.

There should be some g force sensor directly affecting the pilot's salary negatively if it reads uncomfortable levels in normal/optimal conditions. Same goes for bus/taxi drivers. I'm sure they would learn very quick.

they actually make butter landings sometimes

They could not make a smooth landing because the aircraft was too fast to land smoothly. When he set engine 1 to idle the power went down the 1st time. But when Captain Waters recovered engine 1. It went to 74% N1. They would not have made it when that happened. This is how the pilots made it to Hong Kong. When the Captain Waters set engine 1 to idle it got stuck at 74% N1. This was the result of the overspeed warning. When they tried to land the GPWS system sounded. It was because the aircraft flew at 240 knots while landing. 100 knots faster than normal.

Honestly when I landed in Derry airport which is small on a Ryanair flight it was so rough I bounced slightly! Ironically this was on Friday the 13th.

pilots are trained very harshly so that when a real emergency unfolds they are prepared to deal with it no matter how tough

Yaya Jallow are did?

@@evan6898 Ya, that's what he said bruh

I mean those pilots did something wonderful

@@yayalifestyle9231 we all knew what you are did meant

@@KG-kd4oq Well, your vocabulary is wrong!

What?!?! Obviously the pilots told the passengers they were having an emergency landing. What you think the recreation is the real thing or what?

@@samscrib8719 it happened IRL for ur kind information sir

@@samscrib8719 and also listen, I'm a son of a pilot, now who knows more???

Yes- SO TRUE , I was on a flight as a passenger in 2016 , and hadn't been on an aircraft since 2001, during the flight I noticed the left engine on our 777 we were on suddenly the left engine was shaking and extra vibration accompanied by more droning from that engine was happening- straight away I figured that the airplanes left engine had been shut down and restarted mid flight In a "windmilling"start as there must of been a malfunction/engine stall at some stage...

@nono4564 thanks

@nono4564 forgivin

Yeah you're right I agree , Hi how are you ?

lmao can we get an oscar for that one

The second worst thing you can hear a pilot say: "I almost died on my last flight and my wife left me after I converted to Islam. Have an enjoyable flight!"

flight doc 094502-75 For real! What an amazing hero!!

Everyone knows already

@@yhkhoo2269 r/ihavereddit

My dad told me if I was a pilot, and I panicked, I would crash the plane since of how scared I am.

Wow. That’s terrifying Julie. When did this happen? Was this recent?

@@sabrina.natalie it certainly was. Words you never want to hear from the cockpit, “we have a bit of an emergency,” were said. Funny back story was this was the first time I’ve flown alone without family. Had a few days off college and decided to visit my brother. Flight was fine and it was about 30 minutes before landing that we were told about the issue. I had a stuffed animal with me that was a gift to my niece but it became my stress ball. I squeezes the stuffing out of that thing!The flight attendants had everyone get in brace position and we landed extremely hard and fast. I had some bruises from the seatbelt but I was fine. We had to remain on the runway and wait for the fire crew to hose down the wheels and plane. It was still at risk of catching flames. In the end we all made it to the terminal. I was never happier to be on the ground in one piece. I called home to let them know we landed. When I told them that we had an emergency landing, they laughed. Clearly they thought I was joking but I about cried. They quickly realized that I was serious. I can’t imagine being on a plane that has an even more serious problem. What I went through was minor in comparison to some of the other stories.

James McInnis I'm not sure if you know this but Boeing makes Airbus it is called the Boeing Airbus A380

@@youexterminated787 lmao what??

Thought I was the only one that caught that lol

:P

He's a pilot he isn't supposed to panic unless its obvious that there is no way to keep everyone safe

@@no-nameduser1117 true

Really. It was kind of a Cliff's Notes version of what happened.

Nice

@@bobmens806 *bomb has been planted*

Cars are way more dangerous. They crash waaaaay more

you get into car crashes more than plane crashes. LIKE A LOT MORE.

@@tarunganesh4211 yeah you will have a higher chance of your way going to the airport in a car rather then traveling in a airplane trust me these poilets pay 100,000 thousands of dollars just to get this job they spend Hours, Days, Months, And almost years so theres nothing to worry about
