How a Wrong Turn Caused this Plane to Crash in South Korea | Air China Flight 129 

danchise lacaata - Yes, I liked that too.👍🏼

Here

Yes, that map showing the path the plane took, definitely helped to explain why the circle approach the pilots carried out, resulted in the crash.

really help to understand

Yes, indeed!

They need to watch some giant queen ants flying 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🛸🛸🚀👽👽👽👽🛬🛩🛫✈✈🛸🛸🛸

Kunta Kinte that's racist

Kunta Kinte what's wrong with you

@@vinous. REALLY? PLEASE DO ENLIGHTEN ME AS TO HOW!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤪

Tanah Merah I Guess you live in Singapore cause Tanah Merah is in Singapore

Seriously...hats off to the creators...

Agreed!

It’s really incredible! I just built a new rig and totally want to make videos like this

He just copy & pastes stuff off Wikipedia. Probably doesn't take more than a couple of hours to do the sim footage once you get the hang of it

The videos are great though still

I very like @TheFlightChannel

Legendary channel

I agree. Its brilliant. No bullshit content

Done.

Well as a f/o you don't have to knock out the cap to take the controls, it's a matter of having the balls to say MY CONTROLS without asking putting your hand on the throttle and pull up, but ofc it's easier saying it than doing it, that's why we have so much better crm now days because of accidents like this.

@@Diego38019 I don't think the captain would have given up the controls with just a verbal request

@@MrCrystalcranium Exactly, that's why you need the balls to take them without asking and saying My controls so the captain knows whats happening but you just take them, that's what they teach you on CRM in airlines now days, if you warn the captain and you consider the plane at risk you have every right to take the controls from him without asking

Diego Andres Chinese culture is one of hierarchy. It’s very hard to go against your higher ups. This is just one of many flights where deference to superiors cost innocent lives.

Trisha Yamada well that also happened on Korean air accident where captain did extreme maneuvers on a 747 while the FO sits there doing nothing Conclusion: some part of Asian culture (the “boss are always correct” part) kills.

Sounds like a crappy place to have put an airport in the first place.

@@ronjones-6977 Indeed

@@ronjones-6977 there very few, if any places, in the Busan area to do so. This is also the reason an artificial island was made for Incheon.

@@kimchipig So you agree.

Yes....Jal 123... such a horrible accident...

Yeah, what a coincidence! :(

I thought the same thing too. :( It was a secret message i guess.

Oh wait,what a coincidence

It is, a coincidence

Ikr, a coincidence

label1877 and yet he got to survive and presumably the FO didnt...

@@DeepRedBlue Life isn't always fair.

Young, inexperienced and poorly trained pilots, poorly trained controllers and lack of modern safety equipment were the contributing factors. There have been many many cases where first officers had requested for a go around but the arrogant captain had disregarded the advice leading to a crash. I do not know when the Captains will ever correct themselves. A beautifully presented video. I normally view your videos immediately after it is downloaded by you. This time it was quite late at night in India when it was downloaded and after seeing the video now in the morning I am sending my appreciation of a nicely presented video.

@@DeepRedBlue CAPTAIN and two flight attendants survived, all FOs and the rest of the flight attendants died.

@@DeepRedBlue ikr horrible ! I was like fo didn’t but the captain did survive like what!

The light music is also enjoyable. Not too much or too loud.

The airport on vid makes all the plans worthless as the winds change time by time Korean pilots hate that place. I personally understand the Chinese pilots.

And this in spite of aviation charts having the topography beautifully depicted in color, not as much elevation detail as a USGS topographical map with 40 ft contour lines, but you definitely know where the mountains are and how high.

@@hshs5756 Classic example of this: The 1942 crash that killed actress Carol Lombard. Plane was scheduled to land at Las Vegas, then depart for Burbank, CA. Pilots had plotted course direct from Las Vegas airport to Burbank. In flight change due to weather caused plane to land at alternate North Las Vegas airport just a couple miles from the Las Vegas airport. On departure, they just headed off on the compass heading as originally planned. Only, that flew them directly into Mount Patosi. They didn't recalculate for the new departure point. Dumb, dumb, dumb!

Vegas George wow😭

@@georgeroberts442 My reaction was the same as Bart Madness.... Wow!

Same , it happened before i was even born lol

@@ezan3363 lol

Chinese censorship is so intense even South Koreans don't know this.

@@tedyi8588 wow lol

Ted Yi no, information about this accident is abundant, and the Mayday series covers this accident in one episode.

Its the relaxing tempo of animations, great sound editing, somber music and information. most of his videos are sad, but in a comforting way. Hard to describe. Hard to look away.

Yes SO addictive. I discovered these during the week between Christmas and New Year 2021/22. I watched so many, I actually got depressed. I was thinking about the fatalities of some of these crashes in my sleep, it seemed. I won't set foot on an airplane but my son is a pilot and I am fascinated with aviation. Anyway I had to back off of these and now I limit myself to watching a few per week. The sad music always makes me cry. GREAT channel.

Something I won't deliberately want to but certainly will agree with you on this. This is kinda addictive channel. Video Editing top notch, well explained chronological order of events, soothing sound makes all its videos likeable.

Actually, one person died in hospital. But this was not counted.

I thought this was the last comment

Max Aviation w h a t

4 enters is enough

bruh

There’s also a meme floating around joking about China Airlines taking a bath(CAL605, which overran the runway in bad weather :P Also rip brand new 747-400 that was involved

ahahahaa so true

EWA Thoughts ye most of the crashes are in the 80s and 70s

CAAC used airbus or boeing to fly to europe or usa but soviet planes for east europe and russia

I also like to watch blancolirio and VASAviation. The latter has ATC communications on various interesting incidents, although not accidents.

@@vernicethompson4825 I subscribe to Blancolirio (white lily) but not familiar with VAS. I'll check it out.

@@walmartdog1142 It's great for the ATC conversations. They have maps but rarely photos. Some of the conversations are funny, and others will keep you tensed up until the end. So, very enjoyable.

Abhinav Hazarika ❤️❤️

Me too!!

But they weren't on a roundabout 🎪🎪🎠🎡🎢🎢🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠🎡🎡🎢🎪🤡

Kunta Kinte please tell me you are joking

[not a pilot] My understanding is that in at least US training "go around" commanded by the pilot monitoring or ATC results in immediate initiation of GA by the pilot flying and "why" is asked afterward establishing the GA profile.

@@seanie877 Please tell me you are poking 🙌🙌😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If that case, at least disaster can been avoid.

GO GET A JOB!🤡✈

Kunta Kinte stop you dumbass

@@vinous. SPOP POO ZUMBSQUAAS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤡🤡

@tarun give him a few hours and he will probably have 100,000+ views

Just do your job and everything's fine.

its all about COMMUNICATION. winds shift. you dont want to be landing on a short runway with a 30 knot tail wind. Go round and reposition. 5 minutes late or dead forever

Yea, you are right. They should just overshoot the original runway because of tailwind. That's much easier. 🙄

There's an old army expression; Order. Counter-order. Disorder!

nothing if he was a CCP member

Death

@@smartjoe5258 You're probably correct about that CCP membership Midland Reporter-Telegram Article China Defends Pilot of Crashed Jet Published 7:00 pm CDT, Saturday, April 20, 2002 BEIJING (AP) _ The pilot of a Chinese airliner that crashed in South Korea with 166 people on board was well-trained and had over 6,000 hours of experience flying Boeing 767s, Chinese state media said Sunday. The 31-year-old pilot, Wu Xinlu, was among 38 people to survive the crash Monday near Busan, South Korea's second largest city. The defense of him in Chinese media follows suggestions from South Korean officials that human error was to blame. South Korean authorities have banned Wu from leaving the country pending investigation and have threatened to prosecute him if he is found responsible. At least 122 people were killed and six are listed as missing. Wu was hospitalized with a minor brain hemorrhage. In lengthy reports published in state newspapers, China's government-run Xinhua News Agency described Wu as a proficient and conscientious flier who aced tests.

Whatever disciplinary taken towards him, he also had to live with guilt that if he had listened to the First Officer's statement to abort the landing and go around, then he would not have killed all of those passengers who didn't survive.

Kylie Pechler wait he survived?

Flying was 1000x as dangerous when pilots were flying the plane. Yes, In an ideal world you’d have all these systems and the manual piloting ability to fall back on.

Correct, there was a time when the lion share were former military & fighter pilots. I lived with one. The passenger yacht does not convey the experience leading to proper reaction when something goes horribly wrong.

No decent pilot has ever "stopped flying the plane". Every competent commercial pilot is extensively trained on flying even in the complete failure of all automated systems. Controlled flights into terrain still happened before widespread automation, with aircraft under the command of pilots who had spent their whole careers flying aircraft manually. This incident is not "what happened when pilots stopped flying the plane", this is a result of poor training and human error, and would _still_ have been poor training and human error regardless of whether the aircraft had automated systems or not.

@@Anonymous551656 They were looking for the runway in the fog. They should've used their instruments and listened to the ATC

Ted Yi not as hard as Kai Tak.

@@mykimouse5420 How about you trying that 180 dgree turn at 1000ft on the sim BTW when the aircrafts land at RW18 it is because there are hard winds form south. So it is very challenging.

Look I'm not here to argue with you. I'm just making another suggestion. Ok? Do you understand? If not,you can get an interpreter to help you.

Kunta Kinte stop now

Oh and one small mistake, PEK terminal 3 (the terminal with gold roof in the background) was not existent in 2002...:)

I agree. I am always a little relieved, if that is the right word, when there are survivors.

Exactly. Since they're spreading the blame around........let's give some to the original mistake. Location of the airport.

A good research topic might be to find out how much longer the runway needs to be to allow for an 'as safe' down-wind landing, and compare this additional planning and cost with placing an airport at a different location. Perhaps just another thousand feet would allow for down-wind landings to be just as safe. Or maybe down-wind landings pose additional risks other than just the length of the runway, and if so, what are they? This crash reminds me a little bit (in terms of the lack of overall experience and training inside the cockpit) with the February 2009 crash of Continental (Colgan Air) Flight 3407 near Buffalo. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ST6vs4JXGV4.html - j q t -

On the contrary. He would make an excellent instructor to show what not to do in a similar situation.
