#Lauda Air Flight 004 was a regularly scheduled flight from Bangkok, Thailand, to Vienna, Austria. On 26 May 1991, the thrust #reverser on the No.1 engine of the #Boeing #767-300ER deployed in flight uncommanded, causing the aircraft to enter an uncontrolled #dive. What happens in the following seconds could only be described as the sum of all fears.

When Niki Lauda was told by Boeing that they wouldn't release a statement on wether they take the blame, he basically said to them "If it's so safe to deploy the thrust reversers mid flight, give me a 767 and I'll try it". Boeing said they couldn't do that because it's unsafe. Niki Lauda was an incredible person.

In his biography he says this accident was a far worse experience for him than what happened to him in F1. He said driving an F1 car and accepting the risk coming with that was his own decision. But this accident was 200+ losing their lives because something out of their control went wrong. This affected him deeply. He also recounted a story of when he visited a mass funeral for 83 unidentified victims of the flight (I think in Bangkok). He saw a young Austrian boy throwing seashells into the mass grave. When he asked his grandmother she said they were for the young boys parents who both perished in the accident. Lauda deeply cared about the lives lost. He even said publicly if his airline was at fault here he would end the company.

What were his motivations for founding an airline? I find it worth noting that it was a likely systemic lack of safety standards that led to this. Because, maybe grounding a plane until you have found the technical detail would be seen as endangering the survival of the business, and that already created complicity. We always have to look at the karmic balance sheet. Same reason why if you want to cause positive change, going into politics is not necessarily a good way to do that because there you might limit your freedoms to act accordingly.
@y_fam_goeglyd

As an F1 fan since he started in the sport, maybe a year or so longer (I was v young!), one thing I always admired about him was his determination to do the right thing, no matter the cost to himself. That is a characteristic of the few people I've known or known of that puts them in my highest position of regard. Even though I'm a Brit and of course, as an 11 year-old at the time, I was willing Hunt to win the championship, I continued to admire Niki from round one of the season. I don't think I breathed properly after the German GP until the news came that he had pulled through. That was news which all motorsports fans across the globe were desperate to hear. His return to the track from that horrific accident - I was going to say "astounded" me, but I don't think that's strong enough a word. He had already impressed me, both for his skills and honour, but despite the years, that day I actually remember crying with relief to see that he was almost back to his old self in a car, and then crying more out of sympathy on seeing the state of his face after the race. The pain must have been extreme. And to be honest, come that race in Japan, I was more relieved that he retired on safety grounds than glad that it gave Hunt the win. (It's known that Hunt absolutely admired Niki beyond words, before and after that season.) It took a massive pair of "brass ones" as we say, to stand up to the world and say "No, it's too dangerous." It's far too easy to give into peer pressure to continue, but he was always beyond that (otherwise he'd have been a banker IIRC!) His involvement in the investigation is legendary amongst his fans. It was something which didn't surprise us, but to take on the might of Boeing was something that not many individuals _could_ let alone would do. It was a relief to hear the truth when it came out, because I remember that Boeing were trying to blame his company and the pilots. That sort of behaviour cannot be allowed, and as ever, Niki led the way and gave strength to other individuals who needed to take on big corporations. His legend lives on, and his actions will continue to have an effect on the behaviour of big business long after we're gone, I'm sure. I'm sorry you lost your friend too soon. I know it was a miracle he lived as long as he did (stubborn old so'n'so lol), but it was still too soon.

@@y_fam_goeglyd Mandy, I love your comments! Not many people appreciate what a remarkable man Niki was! F1 drivers from that era were a special breed, but to me Niki stood taller than the rest because of his remarkable character. My first in person F1 race was the 1976 US Grand Prix West at Long Beach. I was a Lauda fan and a Ferrari fan. We had pit row grandstand seats right above the Ferrari pits. It was a Ferrari 1-2 weekend. Clay Reggazoni was on fire, taking pole, fastest lap and leading from start to finish. Niki finished second, increasing his lead in the driver's championship. James retired from third after an accident, only for the mechanics to find the car was still drivable after the race! A relative of mine was involved in bringing the Queen Mary to Long Beach, so I had access that many didn't that weekend. Met Chris Pook, Rob Walker, Phil Hill and Mario Andretti. Lots of history, too. Mario ran into Colin Chapman at a coffee shop the next morning, they agreed on Mario's Lotus ride on the spot. Ronnie Peterson, Patrick Depailler, Gunnar Nilsson and Tom Pryce all drove in that race. This was a golden era, and just five months before the Nurbirgring crash. Over the years, I have come to understand that Ferrari is not a good company. Enzo himself was not a nice person, nor a good person. (Things got worse after he passed.) It's interesting to think about a man like Niki driving for someone like Enzo. Morally, they were total opposites. It's easy to see why Niki walked away the way he did. Niki founded three airllines. In another remarkable episode, he faced down the Austrian government over routes they were protecting, with the same tenacity he brought to bear on Boeing. He won that one too, naturally! Along the way, he consulted for Ferrari, managed the ill-fated Jaguar F1 effort and was non-executive chairman and part owner of the Mercedes F1 team. He was instrumental in signing Lewis Hamilton. In a better world, we would all study great people with an eye toward making the best of ourselves. Niki would be at the top of that study list! Thank you for your post. It made my day!

One curiosity about this history and was beyond the scope of your video: accordingly to the Brazilian most respected F1 journalist Reginaldo Leme initially, Boeing strongly disagreed about the investigation conclusion and stood up with the position that this kind of failure was impossible. So Lauda himself went to Boeing's simulators and they lost the plane in all of the 15 flight simulations. However, Boeing kept denying that the Reverse deployment was the main cause and the pilots inputs was crucial to the crash. So Lauda convoked a press conference and challenged Boeing to a real flight with the same failure and initial conditions, only with himself and the test pilots a board. Boeing immediately retreat themself and assumed that the reverse deployment inflight was the main causa and the pilots wasn't trained to face the "impossible failure". I think Boeing executives didn't knew that Nikki Lauda went to Hell and came back a couple of decades earlier. One of the most tenacious and stubborn awesome human that ever lived.

I think the key point here is that Boeing basically said it was a minor issue and not worth grounding the plane for, and the "reset" wasn't just the engineers slapping duct tape on the problem and hoping it'll work, they were replacing actual components. To use the example of a ground vehicle, it wouldn't be an oil pressure light, it'd be like if your passenger airbag light kept coming on when there wasn't a passenger on board, and so you kept taking it to a mechanic and they kept replacing your airbag or the fuse or electronic components as per the car dealer's instructions and being like "hopefully it's fixed this time". Each time you take it to them you think this time you've finally fixed the problem, but you both know it's been a minor but problematic problem. It's something you both want to get to the bottom of, but the most important part is that you have a drivable car. Then one day your passenger air bag explodes violently, blasting you with shrapnel from your dashboard, incapacitating you, and you hit a semi and cause a 10-car pile up. All because your car dealer did incorrect safety testing on the airbags they were using and then assured you and everyone else they were totally fine.

@MikkoRantalainen
@MikkoRantalainen Год назад
I agree. Also, I think that the worst low altitude situation would be system accidentally deploying reverse thrust on the left immediately after the plane has flied over the end of the runway. In that situation engine power is high and altitude is very low. Even if you couldn't figure out that high altitude situation would be bad, the takeoff configuration should have been included in testing at very minimum. (Or even worse situation would be deploying reverse thrust on all engines after the takeoff but that's definitely not possible to fix and shouldn't happen with true redundancy anyway.)

I guess what mostly counts, is how close the aircraft is to it's stall speed. If the thrust reversers are deployed close to stall speed, the speed will quickly drop critically low - at the same time as the forward air stream in it self reduces lift. At high altitude, they are not going very high above the stall speed, despite going fast (the thinner the air becomes, the more speed they need to generate lift). In this case with it deploying on only one engine, the thrust asymmetry also get extreme and more than what pilots usually train to handle and aircraft designers take into count (usually the worst case is to flying with one engine shut off - but here there is one engine that produces normal forward thrust and the other one trying to push the aircraft backwards). Also the speed of sound doesn't change very much with altitude - so there is a big risk of hitting or even exceeding the speed of sound (and get ripped apart by the aerodynamic forces) like they did here, if things go out of control. That risk isn't at all that high at lower altitudes.

The level of detail in your illustrations is amazing. Some elements of the accident in this episode bring to mind one story that I would love to see you cover: the 1994 incident with FedEX 705. Specifically, how did an injured pilot and a DC10 survive an inverted dive in excess of 650 kts, lose the counterweights in the tail, perform acrobatics like a fighter, and manage to land overweight, overspeed and with a full load of fuel? The reason this came to mind is because this same plane (now a MD10) was in the news again last month, when it performed an emergency landing in Tulsa. This led to a lot of discussion in the comments (on a couple different platforms) about the first incident, and several of the details are quite similar to those in this video. The difference was, the DC10 held together and landed more or less safely. Now, the most recent incident with N306Fe happened on 7th June, when a suspected cargo fire that turned out to be 2 entirely unrelated bugs. Literally, a cloud of 5000 escaped ladybugs in cargo that triggered the smoke sensors, plus a heat signature in the same general area caused by some exhaust issue in the #2 engine. Anyways, there are quite a few avgeeks in the US that follow this plane (still hauling cargo 30 years later) and it would be really cool to see you illustrate what happened during that amazing incident. There is so much technical stuff that got skipped in the one documentary I’ve seen on it, which focuses almost entirely on what motivated the guy that attempted the hijacking (which led to the arial maneuvers in an attempt to keep the attacker off balance), and what physical injuries the crew had. Haven’t seen much of anything on what happened to the airplane, but there are pretty good details in a book. Would be awesome if you could illustrate this incident on your channel sometime!

A tragic story, for sure, but like the others below I have to say that Nikki Lauder's persistence was unbelievable and that without him this accident may well have happened again. I have seen some interview footage with him talking about this accident and it is clear to see how much this meant to him - not just as an airline but as a man who knew more about staring death in the face than most. Legend and hero are terms that are bandied around too easily, but in Lauda's case completely deserved.

Having been a commercial pilot for 42 years and a senior captain with TRI/TRE rating for a Major airline I deeply understand all the interesting case studies that Mentour Pilot brings to the audience. He really represent the modern pilot mentality. In this accident Niki Lauda has demonstrated to be tougher than when he was racing. In my childhood he was my favourite driver. But one thing that really impress me is the fact (nowadays it should be named THREAT in the TEM philosopy and modern CRM) that tis poor crew had to fly HKG-BKK-VIE on minimum crew of two pilots. This means pushing to the limit (and beyond) the fatigue concept. All of them, and the poor passengers,...RIP

I thought, briefly, of the hundreds of critical things going on around us (near-supersonic air ripping by just inches from our heads; flying in the upper edges of an atmosphere where low pressures and temperatures are lethal; our dependence upon thousands of critical components; thousands of kilos of flammable liquids surging from tanks to engines and burning at incredibly hot temperatures; engines spinning at speeds and tolerances too critical to want to dwell on; the weather and navigation situations we always deal with.... etc.).

Unfortunately what is often overlooked: Lauda Air did also do several things that were to say the least 'not aviation' standard. 61 error messages about the thrust reverser on the engine in the weeks before the crash. Some faults messages have even appeared the year before the crash. At some time it had gotten so worse that the Lauda technicians just erased the fault messages on a constant basis and didn't bother to enter them in the Log anymore when they appeared. Some fault messages were just erased eventhough the were a clear violation of the MEL for the 767. But the Lauda Air technicians did it regardless. Just weeks before the accident it was noted that the reverse thrust would not return to the fully stowed position after it was used during landing. Despite all of this Boeing was not informed what was going on with jet OE-LAV. And the most perplexing thing during all of this: The whole time there were Boeing technicians based at Vienna, but Lauda Air didn't request their help. Not even once. To quote Nikki Lauda himself: 'It is good that there is a Boeing Employee in Vianna, we're all glad about it, but I'm not required to go to him, since i got my own maintainence department and my own Boeing Manual to fix problems' That puts the crash in a slightly different perspective. Yes it was definitely Boeing's or Pratt&Whitneys fault to design the aircraft and engine in such a way. And Nikki Lauda did an outstanding Job after the accident happend to find out his pilots were not at fault and the deployment of the reverse thrust at a high airspeed would inevitably lead to a crash. But his company could have and should have done more before the accident happend. They should have at least informed Boeing about those constant fault messages and that nothing they tried would fix the problems and not just erase the fault messages on a regular basis. If i can't find the fault myself for weeks then it's time to call the the manufacturer of the product.

Do you have any examples of Lauda Air dispatching OE-LAV with faults contrary to the MEL?

An engine with a recurrent problem that could not be corrected by Lauda Air technicians over the course of 1 year, should have been taken out of service and replaced, regardless of the cost.

@@charleshammer2928 I agree that they should have grounded that plane but they were following Boeing instructions. When a repair was attempted that resolved the issue even for a short time, the 500 hour timer would be reset. I totally disagree with the timer reset - if the fault affects the same system time after time, it's clearly faulty and timer reset must not be done. This problem was caused by Boeing on so many levels, including all the effort to dodge the blame after the accident which required Lauda himself to be really persistant with the investigation.

@@MikkoRantalainen - One assumption Charles Hammer is making there is that the recurrent problem was within the engine and reverser mechanism itself - the truth of the matter is that from a maintenance/engineering perspective the problem could also have been within the warning system electronics and/or the wiring loom (and the video shows just how tightly-packed and complex those wiring looms are). As I'm sure you'll appreciate, with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, there's a large discrepancy in potential safety-criticality between an issue with the warning system versus an issue within the engine/reverser systems themselves. I've seen a few comments on here that chastise Lauda Air (and to some extent Niki himself) for relying on their own engineering people (working, as you say, from the Boeing manuals and operating guidelines) rather than taking advantage of Boeing's own engineers situated in Vienna. The truth of the matter is that if (as is most likely) the source of the problem was the wiring loom, there was no unique knowledge or technology that the Boeing engineers had over and above Lauda Air's own staff that might have solved the problem any sooner. The book (as written by both Boeing and the FAA) stated - for better or worse - that a temporary fix would reset the timer in terms of dispatch safety, and every airline operating the B767 abided by that book.
