Who else is addicted to watching planes documentary 😅

Stories like these are why, as a passenger, I never gripe when my flight gets delayed or rerouted. I’d rather get there late than not at all. Great job as always! Very informative.

Seeing the video of 642 I would not have guessed only 3 people died. Terrifying footage.

I like the fact that you took the trouble of defining a few words. Some of us are not pilots and appreciate less jargon, or at least appreciate explanations.

Maybe we have all become too gung-ho, expecting technology to beat the elements in getting us wherever I want to go, when I want to go? No aircraft can outfly thunderstorm microbursts/windshear safely. A favourite saying us pilots have goes: 'Better to be down here wishing I was up there, than up there wishing I was down here.'

I'm literally shocked that only 3 people died in that second crash. Given the size of that fireball in the video, I assumed it was a total disaster. It's frankly a miracle.

Without meaning to disrespect the passengers and crew who died, this is an extremely well made and professional mini documentary. Thankyou.

Michael Origel, the FO for American Flight 1420, is still flying with AA today. China Airlines had publicly disputed the final reports of virtually all their fatal accidents in the 90's and 2000's as an attempt to save face from their poor safety record. The disintegration of Flight 611 in 2002 finally made China Airlines to swallow their pride and made necessary changes behind the scenes, even though they also disputed that accident's cause at first. There hasn't been a fatal crash involving China Airlines ever since.

I just binge watched all your videos, you’re on to something here, keep them coming I wish the best from the bottom of my heart.

0:08 well I didn't expect getting jumpscared by Disaster Breakdown 🤣

Slight correction: An ILS does have a localizer but that only gives lateral/horizontal guidance. The ILS has another system, the glideslope , for vertical guidance.

This is why I personally monitor the weather, if it's really bad along the flight path, i rather stay home or wherever i am and not take chances. No schedule is worth more than my life.

WAIT! Only 3 fatalities out of 315 passengers?! WOW

Very nice Disaster Breakdown! I've been following you for 1 month and you're doing great! Keep it up!

I flew to Florida last year during a hurricane. let me tell you, I will never do that again!!!

These videos are so interesting and you make them so well! Thank you for keeping us entertained 🤘

Been watching your videos tons while recovering from a major health problem gotta say very well done!

Well I've been watching your videos for two straight days now. This is the first one that struck home, hard. I've flown that Dallas to Little Rock AA flight 100s of times in the past few years. I know that flight like the back of my hand, we always land on 22L.

I'm amazed there were only 3 fatalities! That's a miracle. But still a tragedy

I've just watched about 10 of these in a row. This is great content. Keep it up dude!

Oi! Why did you get me fascinated and addicted to stories of metal birds!!!?? I’ll never forgive you!!

Damn, this is why I don’t complain if the schedule changes. Rather arrive than not at all tbh… It’s also interesting to know how in these two incidents pilots were able to survive. It’s seems to me that for the most part, when there’s a plane crash, the crew in the cockpit almost never makes it to the end. ):

Great videos, I can see this channel getting much larger. Keep doing what you're doing!

I definitely remember American 1420 and, last year, I heard a story from someone who was sitting in their sunroom watching the storm and heard the crash. Sometimes, I see the part of the runway where the overrun occurred and just get a chill.

Absolutely love your narration and editing. Lots of great timings for sound effects. Keep up the good work!

Love that you are uploading very regularly at the moment. This is my favourite channel to see in my subscriptions, keep up the great work mate!

Totally addicted to your channel now after binging all the videos in a day, keep 'em coming and I'll never leave! :D

Liked before watching. Love this channel

As always great video and story telling, we'll be waiting for next breakdown.

I absolutely love this channel. Great work in breaking down what happened.

I am amazed only three people died on the Mandarin Air flight. Horrible no matter what, but I was expecting so much worse. Great video as always.

Love this channel thankyou for uploading these awesome vids. Can't wait for more! 👏

I was there when this happened. there are so many shameful things that happened within the hour or so after the crash. there is so much more to this story.

It's appalling that aircraft are permitted to fly in dreadful weather. Better a delay than lose so many lives

Loving your work so much, another awesome video ✌🏼

Great video dude, keep it up, this is the type of content that you get big... if anything add more visual animations of the stuff you’re describing... Not only does it help visual what you’re saying but following along is way better

I really enjoy your videos! They are extremely informative and your narration is spoken in laymen's terms and very calming to listen to. Great job!!!

Love your vids. Hoping your channel will grow soon!!

Fatalities were so low! I was sure none survived on 2nd one.

I was on a plane landing in New York during a violent North Easter. I can remember the pilot was basically sideways to the airstrip and I was looking out at nothing but white caps on the ocean. I'm sure he was pushing that plane as far as it could go. I'm absolutely terrified of that kind of Landing now.

"There's gonna be casualties!" _ya don't say_

So well done! Should have 500k plus subs!

Who could have imagined that an even more modified version of the DC-10 had massive design flaws. Thanks for clearing all that up for is 😂

Amazing only 3 people perished out of 315 in the second accident shown. That fireball looked like it could have been much much worse.

Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏼

This is a great video man, Keep it up! :)

The problem with the MD-11 was because of its modified tail from the DC-10. It is smaller, so the plane requires a higher landing speed to keep it stable. If speed isn't maintained, , it lands hard and begins to bounce, or porpoise. The pilot then makes the fatal error by fighting the bouncing. He's supposed to let it continue, as it will straighten itself out. Instead, by fighting it the plane can invert just off the ground, as seen in those FedEx crashes.

Damn seeing that second plane explode I fully expected there to be no survivors, I was shocked to see so survive.

Just discovered your channel and love it! Subscribed.

Consistently producing videos of a high quality 👍👍👌👌

again.. an awesome video!

i have had the luck of flying as a pasenger aboard dc9 up to md 80/82 both on austrian airlines and on scandinavian airlines. i love the dc9 and the md 80. my favorite one is sas md80 and dc9. 👍👍👍🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

The DC-9 and DC-10 families are some of the crashingest damn planes around…

Due to the smaller tailplane of the MD-11 compared to the DC-10 made the MD-11 want to pitch up more. This meant the MD-11 needed to land at higher speeds to counter this pitch up. Crews were instructed to increase thrust just before touch down to slow the aircraft's descent. The stretched fuselage also gave crews the illusion the plane had its main gear firmly on the ground if it for some reason bounced causing them to push the nose down increasing the stress caused by the second bounce to damage the plane's structure.

Flying the MD-11 was like walking a tightrope. It was a stretched DC-10, which was already temperamental to land, not unlike its DC-9/MB-80 siblings.

First video I've seen talking about that crash (Mandarin Airlines Flight 642) I've come across in multiple crash compilations. This is probably the most visible example of that video I've seen as the others were genuinely hard to see the accident as it occurs.

Your videos are very good. You deserve more subscribers

Another great video, and I especially like the coverage of two separate but similar incidents. Now I have what is probably a stupid question - if I go to Patreon with nothing but USD, how do I know the conversion to your categories expressed in £'s ?

1420 should never have taken off, should never have tried to land. Stupid accident. What a waste. Rushed landings are so often a catastrophy.

Took off during a snowstorm in Delaware one time and I'll just say this... never again will I step foot on a plane during those conditions again. It was to the point where I'm positive the plane should not have taken off. But did I die, you may be wondering? Maybe. 👻

That lightning strike scared the 💩 out of me😂

I always love your videos and am sure it was great. I wish you would have put flashing light/strobe effect warnings at the beginning of the video alongside your content warning. I have light-sensitive epilepsy and this triggered an episode- I dont want to guilt you I just want you to be aware of this potential problem! Please consider adding these warnings in future videos🙏🙏🙏

2:50. I love a good crab landing in the morning. Actually morning wind is worse here in FL. If it’s windy in the morning it’s going to be windy all day

Love the use of LTR's music c: at least I believe its their music since Its been so long since I heard, but the song at the start certainly sounds like their work!

Yes these are great and such a nice polite person doing them!

Little Rock National Airport (Klit) ....they should come up with something other than "Klit". lol.

I used to fly all the time, but after watching enough of these vídeos, plus my own scary eperience the last time I flew, NEVER AGAIN. NO WAY, NO HOW. I'll take my chances vía car from now on.

I did not understand why when AA changed the plane, the allowed working time for pilots extended?

Looks like the tail flexes

Flying during nasty weather is what gave me PTSD. I refuse to look outside if we’re over the ocean with turbulence. I will end up having panic attacks and lose it. It was a horrible, terrifying experience. I guess flying in the early 2000s was something else

Ples make im new to this channel and all ready watched all the videos keep up the good work!

I'm learning how important a good Pilot is!!!!!!!!.

Your tower pictures are looking like the tower od Dusseldorf Airport

underrated

Pro-tip: If your plane crashes while landing, you can get some of the money you paid for the ticket back, as they didn't fulfill their contract fully, as that contract also included a safe landing.

New sub I had a discord buddy recommended this video

There alternate landing was memphis not Nashville. I was on that flight number the day after as scheduled comming back from honeymoon. Needless to say I have a huge fear of flying. Hubby is a AA pilot. He was hoping to withhold info on the crash until I got home, but someone in Dallas let me know why we had to get new tickets. I still gave my original ticket.

I still have a ticket with this plane number. We were to be on it the day after it crashed coming back from our honeymoon. I hate flying and someone told me about it as American was rebooting my ticket. Needless to say my anxiety was through the roof. It was so bad they had to serve me drinks before we even took off. While about to land Mt drunk ass looked out the window and yelled to everyone on the plane- There's the wreckage! I have never seen windows close faster. And that is only a quarter of that story. Rip to the people and the ones I knew.

My local airport was in this

I love your channel i watch your vids everyday :)

I'm addicted. I like the one's that have survivors

Ripping a wing, cathcing fire, flipping on its back and only so few dead and injured… Wauw!

You can see why at 62 they won't let you be a captain in most airlines. So stupid to have the answer to the speed problem on take off and then completely ignoring when in the air

How on God's earth did ANYONE live in that China Air crash?

Make a video about the charkhi dadri mid air collision

Wow, Little Rock sure has a spicy ICAO code! 🥵 LOL

All safety procedures are written in blood

I've noticed Chinese almost always dispute investigation findings mostly where pilot error is involved.

The video of the second crash is horrifying. In a matter of seconds hundreds of people were gone just like that.

I'm surprised with modern technology they don't have CCTV cameras in planes

3:43 time travel doesnt exi-

An ex military pilot is still far less likely to do something really stupid like pull back on the stick of a stalling aircraft. You increase power and push forward!

Please do one for SQ6 (Singapore Airlines).

HOW did only 3 people die in the second incident

The ICAO for Little Rock airport activated my dirty mind 😐

Me too

I’m addicted to her voice 😏

What’s the music at 3:28

Can you do FlyDubai 981 plz ?
