Deeply unsettling to see an aircraft that I flew, being raised from the depths of the ocean. I had the pleasure of operating her with two different airlines in the 90s.
@@flightforensics4523 Do you have a source for this info? Initial reports from the coast guard stated the wreckage was enveloped by a large slick of jet fuel. Also the pilots were found soaked in jet fuel, so there was at least SOME fuel on board.
The intact rear section of the 737, with tail and main and rear wings still attached, proves the Captain did an exceptional job with zero engine power to slap her down true without tipping or cartwheeling. The man deserves some recognition because that clearly assured two lives were not lost that day.
Except that they didn't do an exceptional job as they caused the crash through pilot mistakes and shutting down the wrong engine after #2 lost power they thought it was number one due to poor airman ship and shutdown #1 - So if anything the pilot should be held accountable for the lose of the plane & Revenue to the company and pay some sort of fine or pay for it.
I watched this from my back yard. I’m so glad the pilots are alright and made it out alive. The fact that they were able to bring the aircraft so close to shore was a miracle.

9:15 you can see 1/3 of the fuselage is missing. They definitely should have at least detected some small cracks during outside check. Somebody didn't do their job well.
I know the feeling of seeing a plane in pieces that you have flown. I my case it was TWA 800 747 off Long Island . I had flown the same flight, 800, exactly 4 years previously, and the same aircraft many times before
07:55 I think this is the first time I've begun to get a true picture of the volume and complexity of the wiring in modern aircraft. It looks like two miles of wire right there alone.
It is amazing the resources the NTSB will put into investigating JT8 engines, which are ancient and some of the most studied aircraft engines ever. The rules which require getting every single piece of new data even on ancient aircraft are why flying has become so amazingly safe.
of a crash they caused. continuing on one engine should have been routine, but they shut down the wrong engine. I'm hoping they didn't continue to work in aviation.
I remember seeing this on TV the morning of the crash. I was shocked. Things like this don’t happen very often in Hawaii. I (might) have saw N810TA before, it will be missed.
@@wewd Approx 13.6 tons(9% of the plane's weight) of that model of 777 is made of titanium. Titanium can stay in sea water for 100 years without corrosion due to the highly active bond between titanium and oxygen.
yeah somewhere in the China Sea , where they found that "flaperon" near Madagascar. It was sent to be investigated and showed it had come from a 777. That one was the only one missing, so, it had to come from it. There was also some suitcase found but we did not hear anything specific about that. I expect they would be in the bottom, all sitting in their seats, as the ditching was likely controlled.or the damage of the leading edge on the flaperon would have been greater. A commercial pilot checked it out and determined, it had done successful ditching.....after that......who knows ? Even a controlled ditching would not likely have allowed any survivors to get out. This was not like ditching in the Hudson river.....We may never know but I think someone, somewhere knows something.........
Looks like we had only one engine running at the time of impact. The relatively undamaged one looks like it wasn't turning at all apart from possible windmilling, but the other engine looks like it was at high power and broke apart.
The cause of the accident was an engine failure combined with the pilots shutting off the wrong engine and trying to fly with the damaged engine by mistake
That's because Boeing installed MCAS on one older 737 to test it before installing it on the MAX. It seems that this is the choosen aircraft. As like as the MAX crashes, the MCAS then caused this crash because it got false inputs from the angle-of-attac-sensors.
@@trvman1 Hawaii can have 20 to 30 foot seas in places. But the pilots of this aircraft were fortunate to crash close to the Honolulu airport...generally calmer area but also deep water.
1:40 WHAT the heck was That move? Is that the way to lower large parts; One person, One line Off Cleat, and 'drag' person across deck. 'clever'? looks fun. ugh =\
Was that the case with the two ultra competent pilots that decided to flip through manuals for a while rather than land a failing aircraft on the runway?
@@frankrizzo5594 bs. in this case they followed that logical flaw instead of the obvious return to runway. a checklist is if you are far from a runway and generally only useful if the situation isn't critical. With two pilots the obvious action is return to runway declaring an emergency and the copilot can flip through any applicable checklist. with engine trouble you of course don't take a 30 minute stroll over the ocean to nurse stupid checklists.
Think this is another waste of taxpayers money. What are they going to find out? One engine failed and another overheated leading to a second failure. We are so incredibly deep in debt I guess it just doesn’t matter anymore.
Looking at what investigations, especially by the ntsb, have done in aviation safety history I cannot agree to that statement. Worrying more about money than about safety is among the top reasons for crashes.
@@mkevilempire True. But he has a point. I wonder how much more crucial information they could attain by retrieving the entire airframe vs just the FDR and CVR. Just playing devils advocate
