Every Plane Crash From Air Disasters Season 9 | Smithsonian Channel 

That poor pilot in the first crash just broke my heart. And the man trying to get the damned door open is a real hero, but I believe he feels like he let her down. He didn't...I can't even begin to imagine the guilt he must have felt. But he tried his best and that's what counts!

0:01 every crashs from air disasters season 9 0:51 united express 5961 8:09 Boeing 777 Asiana 214 14:47 Boeing 747 EI AL 1852 21:38 Boeing 737 Garuda 200 29:27 UPS 006 Boeing 747 36:24 Fokker 27 TAM AIRLINES 402 43:25 Mcdonnell Douglas MD80 Spannair 5022 53:10 Embraer 120 (Brasilia) Atlantic Southest Airlines 2311 56:05 BAe 146 Atlantic Airways 670 1:02:19 Douglas DC6 crash

The lady crying for help to open the door just rips my heart out not to mention the tears falling from my face.

Honestly, as great these documentaries are, it's depressing just how many people had to lose their lives in these real tragedies. Rest in peace to all of those who lost their lives.

The UPS air bubble in the cockpit idea is the kind of forward-thinking and ingenuity we need, but sadly it comes after something so tragic. You don't think about those things... "well what if the cockpit fills with smoke so bad the pilot can't see anything?".

I just flew a week ago. I've been watching these for months now. I had to stop watching altogether a month before my flights so I wouldn't have a panic attack on the plane or refuse to get on altogether. These stories are heart-rending and also very scary, knowing what COULD happen. Bless the victims and their families.

The ones that make me the most sad are those where the pilots did everything right, but someone had screwed them before takeoff. They fought like hell but the game was rigged

My Dad was going to work at Cincinnati Gas and Electric one morning when a TWA flight crashed on approach to the airport killing something like 70 of 85 passengers. This was in the late 1960s. He saw the fire but was unable to get to the area to help because it was across the river.( Cincinnati airport is actually in Kentucky) This was the second crash in 4 years by planes attempting to land on the same runway.

God bless those affected by these tragic events.

Your documentary always make me addicted

Garuda Indonesia flight 200 really baffles me. How come the captain didn't realize that they're way WAY too fast to land? Even the copilot with less experience suggested to go around. Also, I'm pretty sure the copilot's actor is the same as Garuda 421's Captain Abdul Rozak

asiana 214 actually crashed because during landing, the captain turned off a system that keeps the speed fast, but he thought it was too fast, so the speed kept on dropping, until it reached 116 knots, far too slow.

I feel that flight instructor probably sees that captain every night in his dreams and each time knows he's not going to be able to save her

Finally season 9 is here ,Waited so long

UPS-6 had definitely the most heroic co-pilot I have ever seen a huge fire barely any control and visibility yet still decided to pull up and managed to miss well done

I’m watching this while I’m on a plane from France to Detroit

That second one just kills me 😥😥💔

I was on a Caltrain passing SFO just after Asiana 214 crashed. None of us knew what was going on until we saw it on a TV at a restaurant in San Francisco.

Thats extremly sad of united express. They tried to survive. But faild. 12 lives dead bc a single door.........wow. rip to all onboard these disasters. Also. Ive heard about this El Al 1862 disaster was in 2006(the plane crashed years before that). My dad/mom saw the disaster. It was our worst disaster in dutch history.

Good show but it would be a good idea to briefly explain the reasons/causes why the accident occurred.

yes it is challenging landing at SFA all the more in bad weather . . . surprising that no pilot ever mention the unpredictable surge in cross winds when landing at SFA . . . it literally just slams the aircraft out of nowhere, it's like getting hit by a semi . . .

To all R.I.P.

Oh man if I was Paul Walker, I would be so damn heartbroken! That's so sad knowing you were the only hope and couldn't get that door open...

24:20 Typical Ryanair landing

My lols 9:56:Pilot: HANG ON HANG ON!! Co-pilot: this is fine why do I need to hang on 10:27: slides: Help I'm ded 13:30 passenger: WEEEEEEE 14:41: passenger: what's happening? Why is everyone screaming? 15:42: plane: that's it you fly me? I fly U! 17:32: plane: farewell world 24:19: Boing

1:57 Paul walker is in this one?!?! Lol

may all there souls rest in peace🙏

Oh man so sad! But the people survived. You are heroes! The animations are good. 31:12 omg he looks just like barney from half-life 2!

The Old Man In 1862 Broke The Heart of Mine When He Brings Hes Sad Face While Thier Plane is Diving And The Way He said Come On Just Let Me Teared My Eyes😢

therapist: a wavy plane tail is not real it can't hurt you wavy plane tail: 11:50

Omg I remember I was plane watching from Paracuellos de Jarama and saw how spanair 5022 went down, I’m so sorry for everyone that lost their lives 😭😢

39:14 why is she smiling LOL

As long these aircrafts keep crashing and people keep dying.. I'm sure there'll be many more great episodes to come... Keep em coming

That moment when you discover a new rabbit hole at Season 9..... yeah, binge-time is here.

John Nance reminds me of Jimmy Stewaet the old movie star.

Have a blessed day

3:18 how the heck didn't the captain just drop herself down from that cockpit window. If your head can fit through a window then the rest of the body can fit through

Just curious if you guys get this portable escape hood 🤣 because it looks like putting a grabage bag on your head

49:18 Aww the plane had a fever :( All jokes aside, these crashes are truly horrific. :( I have to make jokes to keep from bawling.... Rest In Peace to all the passengers and crew who lost their lives. My heart really breaks for their families... 🙏💔😭

I've only flew about 4 or5 times in my life. And that was 30 years ago. But seeing these shows makes me very pessimistic about flying.

Great presentation. So sad and very scary.

Top tier drmatizations, they're very gripping. the actors and actresses do such a good job.

The Asiana 214 crash is a case of gross negligence by the pilots, but incredible work & heroism by the Flight Attendants. They performed a remarkable evacuation, under the most stressful of circumstances, despite several of them being injured and several more becoming trapped by evac slides that inflated inverted into the cabin, trapping them & having to be rescued by fellow crew. Chief Flight Attendant Lee Yoon-hye carried a number of male passengers to exits, despite her much smaller size, evacuated unaccompanied children & was the last crew member to exit the airplane (after the pilots had long escaped) only when she was totally convinced the cabin was empty. When the firefighters came across her, they initally thought she was Asiana ground crew that had come to the scene, she was so calm and collected. A remarkable woman and a true professional indeed.

That's the same air traffic controller in sukhoi superjet 100

Why there is no equipment to bust open the emergency door

Mr Walker...it hurts my heart that you feel like it was your fault you couldn't save the passengers bc the door was jammed....please realize that it wasn't your error...we meet ppl that are in our lives that have different purposes...we may have ppl in our lives for an hour or lasting forever... You were put there for a reason...maybe your presence calmed the pilot or someone.... Just bc the door wouldn't open doesn't mean you it was your fault... Honestly, you tried...we can't all save the world... I just think you were needed there... Please don't keep the negative thoughts and have a good life!!

Where can we watch the full episodes??

What jammed the door of the first air crash was a fix from years ago

why at 25:01 there's a lightsaber ignition sound

I love this narrators voice!!

garuda 200 pissed me off so frickin much like how are such basic procedures overlooked? how did the captain look at his instruments reading 240 knots and think that was fine, while repeatedly ignoring the warnings that were going off in the cockpit? and why did the first officer stay silent when he knew something was very very wrong? just watching the level of sheer incompetence and straight up stupidity shown by that crew that cost 21 lives genuinely infuriated me

Never leave when there's only you there to help,pick up a rock and bust a window open,or use your jack to bust open a window.I would feel so bad if I couldn't get those people outta that mess.

God bless every this shouldn't be a thing

thanks to you, I'm terrified now

People: staying in the back is the safest Me: AAF 214

These are lucky people because they have survived this god bless everyone who survived these plane crashes

In the first one i know it is really sad and I agree but why didn't she just escape out of that window hatch thing

but how do they record when the aircraft is ap on air please answer

All R.I.P .🥺😭

In the first crash, if the captain had tried to escape through the cockpit window, would she have been able to do so? Or was she waiting for everyone to get off the plane first?

I just found this series.... Marty hooked... One question now and that's probably because I over Analyze everything.... Do you all notice before the pilots even take off on the runway they are sweating profusely lol (no disrespect to anyone injured or anyone who lost their lives) and I love the fly But after watching the series I'm questioning that lol

On the plane crash.. well maybe use flaps?

at 45:20 for instance i would love to hear the real alarm sound that would have occured like the stall warning

At around 56:00 the subtitles autogenerated are off. It happens to almost every of your video Smithsonian. Any clue as to why this is happening? We need to investigate, we don't have the Flight Data Recorder nor the Flight Voice Recorder which will provide answers. The investigators need to dig deeper...

Anyone know if they have these crashes in individual episodes? I want the whole thing.

So sorry for these people.

i live in san francisco we mostly forgot about asiana 214 except the fake names of the pilots aired by KVTU oakland during the crash

Stop playing and show full episodes already.

Plane window must be detactable.

Im literally going to fly for 8 damn hours. I’m currently at my gate and i’m watching this 😭😭😭

Those bounces make me wince every time (and my partner look at me when I react to them) The irony is my very first flight had a bouncy landing and it gave me the giggles. The Lithium Battery thing was interesting to discover as the ruling on them occurred in the seven years I wasn't working in an electronics job. I noticed the new labels and discovered why they were now a standard when I got back into the industry. Huh, A modern take on the Biblical burning bush story.

Why October 31st always crash every year

I vaguely remember flying home after a wedding and seeing Asiana’s wreckage lying on the ground, this was days after it happened by the way

12:44 I hate getting real high and coming down fast, nothing worse than a buzzkill 😁☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

Tams reward is right out of the window after that

It’s not Bilmer at 17:45 It’s Bijlmer with an IJ!

The subtitles are all over the place.

Lithium batteries have their own fire that's stronger than usual and way strong for the fire resistant cover

Rip everyone 😢 🙏🏻

For some reason these videos and investigations interest me

PAUL WALKER IS A FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR?!?!

Not enough ads.....they need more.

37:30 is the captain who said 'Hold the glide~ would you hold it?'

My father was pilot by Saudi pilot on the middle the engine 2 just begin firing but goodness the plane fall on water no one died or injured

Garuda Indonesia 200 looked like FedEx flight 80 but less bounces

16:46 OMG PHIL SWIFT!

What The Hell?! 2:09

37:47 only qualified to fly the fu**er 100 for a week 💀

You couldn’t pay me enough to willingly fly with lithium batteries

I would've tried to jump out of that window if I were that pilot that was screaming for help to paul

Maybe the fire warped or partially melted the cable? 🤔

The Cockpit Windows of United Express seem big enough that a passenger can fit trough it, why didnt they escape via the windows? 737's have These emergency Cockpit windows and even a escape rope.

🙏🏻 Sent to Heaven

The plane in the river bank kinda landed then oofed lol

This is a good video

Sven Hammarberg could pass as Doug Feith's younger brother.

44:19 thats the co pilot from the Birgen Air flight episode

1:57 Bruh, I didnt know Paul Walker was a flight instructor. 😂

That is the reason every pilot 👩‍✈️ should check out their aircraft before takeoff.
