TERRIFYING - Airbus A380 engine explodes after Takeoff! Qantas 32

Which they would be using

420 centre the pilots then use the graph extension handle to uncontrollability checks on the aircraft again to ensure the plane we're still flavour without the flab and the gear the table and what engines came into land reluctant to move the trustee for engines 1 and 4 as it wasn't clear whether they would respond 14 episode 4 setting and to use engine to control the speed of the plane that this was the only engine that appeared they would have set up for landing and lined up the pilot it would be the audible on the ground standfast

Ikrrrrr. Precious time is lost in thinking what actually happened. A live feed like that can help them make decisions instantly

Yep. It's unbelievable.

One would think flight attendants would be pounding on the cabin door...

​@CherokeeSher I half expected to hear that passengers sat near the wing who saw what happened alerted the cabin crew to then alert the flight crew.

Good thinking maybe write a letter to the airplane factory

It’s better than sitting in the cockpit like idiots wondering what’s wrong like they did for 20 minutes. Especially with 5 guys in cockpit. These pilots sucked and almost got everyone killled

Passenger confidence is a very low priority in situations like this. That's the job of a well trained cabin crew, not the pilots!

@@jeffpestano1296 That's a cheap shot, Jeff. It's easy to second guess what you would have done in similar circumstances. The fact that this incident had a happy ending gives the lie to your criticism. Maybe the captain wanted the combined brain power of all the pilots on the flight deck as they sorted through the chaos of failures they were dealing with. That's my more charitable speculation on the event. The captain's not here to explain his actions or those of his crew, so I say, give him the benefit of the doubt. They landed safely after all with no injuries to anyone on board! Bravo zulu!

They got lucky. Pilot did everything he could to crash the plane. Tell me one thing they accomplished in that hour that changed what he was supposed to do immediately. Not second guessing him. Those were my instincts.

@@bearowen5480 don’t take anything he says as a serious thought go look at his other comments they are always negative towards the crew think they have a problem with crews or something

@@claysonantoons3142 Really yeah?

@@claysonantoons3142 The flight was completed in my book.

17:45 Unable to dump fuel? They are already dumping fuel and probably at a higher rate than if they used the fuel dump system…

​@@MothaLuva they want to dump the right side I suppose. Also I don't think the leak is faster

Thank ÿou!

Qantas has always been a very fine and professional airliner....

​@richbrake9910 seriously?! I guess you haven't flown qantas to l.a. recently. The flight staff literally set up a tent around passenger seats and sleep there because apparently there is nowhere else for them to sleep.. Sooooo unprofessional

@faff Not disagreeing with what you said and yes I haven't flown overseas for about 10 years. Nonetheless in this incident the pilots were very professional. Regarding the cabin crew incident you refer to they can't do that too often otherwise people will simply go to other airlines. There is just no where to hide these days in terms of real poor customer service and crew practice.

Not a single person injured?! They’re heroes. Truly impressive handling.

@@richbrake9910should have just landed. If you’ve got emergency lights. Just land.

Agreed. I must say that British Airways BA9 which lost all 4 engines over Indonesia in 1982 is another favourite happy ending plane story that equals this one.

@@madness8556 Oh that is a good one. Haven’t seen it in quite awhile. Going to go find and watch.

@@deemariedubois4916 there's a number of great docos about BA9 on RU-vid.

While I give the nod to US Airways Flight 1549 and the legend of Sully (not to mention the crew & passengers, who deserve a ton of credit in their own rights), I respect your choice for sure. It shows the side of humanity that gives me hope- no matter one’s job, no matter one’s stake in life, being a consummate professional even when tasked with life-or-death responsibilities is something that feels more rare than it should be… To be fair, “feel”’is the operative word because I do believe vast majority of professionals in the aviation industry (outside of Boeing senior staff 😬) and other fields are hard-working, dedicated people committed to providing safe air travel.

thats very funny, right up there with 'ladies and gentlemen we have a small problem in that all of our engines have failed'...great pilots are also apparently great comedians!

really interesting additional info. i didn't know any of that. cheers

The captain also gave his mobile number to every passenger on board, if they had any problems. I believe that to be true or I could be wrong.

They truly went above and beyond

Somehow the Ground Fire Crew were not ready at the end much that it took +10mins for anyone to be closer to deal with the spilling fuel and the hot tyres. Phew!!!

Why I love Singapore

@@lakovkreativity1451 because we’re so far away, Qantas gets decent mileage from their A380s. The SYD-LAX run is well and truly a route the A380 was tailor made for. Very popular emirates route to Dubai too. Even here in Brisbane there’s an A380 Dubai route. Anyway, A couple have been withdrawn but I don’t think OQA is one of them. The rest were sent to Europe early in the pandemic for a full cabin refit, assuming a D-check was done here, as cabin refits are generally performed while the aircraft is pulled apart. It’s safe to say that while the they are stored in Victorville, they have brand new interiors, so they absolutely will fly again.

@@uzaiyaro that's pretty cool they still repair them and use them after catastrophic failures like that, instead of wastefully scrapping the whole thing and starting fresh, also hello from America, Google told me it's 5-7 pm there 😀

@@lakovkreativity1451 Well, I think that like everything else that’s insured, there’s a point in which a repair or rebuild is more economical, or it’s more economical to write it off as a hull loss. At the time, VH-OQA was still pretty new, and no doubt was still under engine warranty. A very large portion of the total $140m bill was Rolls Royce replacing all four engines under warranty for free, at about $23m a pop. AFAIK there was nothing wrong with the other three engines (i.e. the oil stub pipe in question was only faulty on engine 2), but I imagine they decided to just replace all four of them to head off any possible legal battles over this. I don’t know who coughed up the rest of the bill, probably Qantas’ insurers. Ultimately it would have been up to the insurer to decide whether to repair or declare a hull loss, and they clearly opted for the former, which would be been the cheaper/more economical option. Had the aircraft been a good deal through its service life, this same event may have indeed led to a hull loss. It’s simply a question of what’s cheaper. And hello to you! It’s now a bit later in the day, but you were pretty on point! The thing to remember about Brisbane and Queensland time in general is that we do not observe daylight savings time, whereas the rest of the eastern seaboard does, which is somewhat annoying, as it’s an hour ahead down south despite being roughly in line with each other. In any case, I hope things are going well in Americaland! It’s raining all week here in Brisneyland, an area of the world that is sadly already ravaged and rebuilding from mildly catastrophic floods earlier this year.

@@uzaiyaro that's pretty cool, and yeah it's goin about as well here as it is there, plus some bullets and whatnot.. 🤣

@@uzaiyaro QANTAS will always repair a damaged aircraft. That way they keep their world-class safety record. Even the 747 that skidded off runway in BKK was repaired, to the tune of millions’ $.

Big jumbo jets like the 747 and the a380 have a lot of redundancy measures Thats why those never went down for minor things

Agreed, Culture can play a big part in CRM.

We should be proud of our national airline and their pilots. We might be a small population, but we have so much to be proud of. In fact, with the rest of the world going rapidly down the toilet, maybe it's time for us and our Kiwi cousins to secede from the planet 😊

@@davidhynd4435 : really? How? I’m so proud that you are not a human?

I wish Aussies treated politicians the same way

Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!

Captain takes another flight, engine failure

You set it aside and go tunnel visioned to only your task at hand and use your crew for complicated input. It would have felt like a call to arms and a challenge to survive as opposed to all out crippling stress.

@@TheRealHoltzy But what about his flight back to Australia? A few days later?

Haven't worked on aircraft but having worked with monitoring systems, I've intentionally hidden information from users in order to prevent mistakes on their interpretation. My guess is that not enough studies were made about the effects of pilots having a live video feed of the aircraft. Maybe that would be a distraction, maybe it could lead to them ignoring other readings if the video does not show any damages, et cetera, and maybe Airbus preferred to be conservative and err on the side of caution.

Yes I would think that they would have gone back immediately

@@caiocc12 that should not prevent one of them from going to see for himself.

I have thought this too. Also with how small and inexpensive cameras are why is there not cameras all over the plane for assessing damage in a pinch. Primarily landing gear bays, flaps and slats, cargo, ext.

@@caiocc12 i understand it's a potential distraction for pilots but why not train cabin crew how to do cursory inspections and immediately report all obvious issues to the cockpit? From watching many crash videos it appears cabin crew doesn't want to bother the pilots even if an engine is on fire. I just don't get it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much and nice to see you again!

@@GreenDotAviation yes...wonderful job!

Was about to say same! Yes - so well done.

I was about to leave the same comment… I have watched the Smithsonian Channel’s “Air Disasters” version of this incident many times and thought I knew all of the story, but you have added more details and facts that they didn’t include in their recreation of the event. WTG Green Dot… that’s one of the reasons I like your videos so much!!

This one gives SO much more detail than most documentaries on this incident! Thanks Green Dot!

😮

Don't forget Capt Sullivan QF72

Write and British Airways Flight 9

what about the other pilots that never made it? Do you not bless them

​@@malahammerno they failed us

@@keagandeal3475 hahahahahahaha! whodefuq are you to say this....god?

In situations like this you don't have time to argue... Pride goes out the window.. everyone talks like equals. I can assure you that titles of your job also go out the window. The more people you have the more knowledge you have.

It’s a common practice. Still, it was fortuitous that he did make sure to take that step before takeoff.

You like the fact, that he did his job?

@@derpinguin7003 Yes I do. I am a retired Army Master Sargent. With respect to my seniors, I took charge of situations, even when there are Senior Officers on site. In other words, It’s my plane and I am taking both, control and responsibility for my PLANE!

Some of those pilots out ranked him. He did a great job and saved his passengers.

And the atc and ground crew . Coast guard , scdf and other airport emergency services.

BTW, there was no one called God on that flight. They were saved by a combination of engineering and human skill.

@@geoffcrumblin9850 about being arrogant not funny. God bless you. Romans 1:28, NIV: " Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done." Galatians6:7 "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."

The Captain had had engine failures in his time with the RAAF. He had learnt a lot from this which helped his CRM.

Glad you enjoyed it! ✈️😎

Thank you very much!

Gotta disagree . Good video but I found the narration difficult to listen to. Reading from a script of course but sounding just like it.One sentence at a time , no smooth flow or nuance. Just sayin’…😉

@@user-jl9to6zh1q Huh? I just love the narration! I don't care what the subject is, I love a good story and there's no story without a good storyteller. Green Dot is top notch and that's why I love to listen!

Thanks for the suggestion! I may cover this at some point.

Easily one of the most infuriating air disasters of all time.

​@@LunaticTheCat totally agree!

​@@GreenDotAviation please don't forget about Saudia Flight 163, try reading about it, it was the worst air disaster by loss of life at that time. It was also totally avoidable, and like some of the repliers mentioned, totally infuriating.

Holy crap!

I think many older Pilots are not fans of the amount of automation in some of the Air Bus planes .The A380 is an amazing feet of Aeronautics, especially up close when you realise just what a huge Aircraft it is . I am luck to live direct under the Flight path for the Airbus Factory in Hamburg were they did cabine fitting and painting of the Aircraft , Lufthansa also has it workshop here in the main Airport were during the Airports 100 year celebrations they had an A380 land and then Taxi into the Lufthansa Technic display.parking next to a DC 8 and Lockheed Super consolation they looked like Toys compared .this incident was bad for Rolls Royce and must have cost Millions to replace those 50 falty engine's and then refurbish those too. Other than the excellent crew that the Aircrafts systems and build quality have to be praised to, any such accident like this in the past would have spelled disaster a decade or so before. Love the content quality here thanks.

You left out the primary engine failure, anti-lock brake failure, no 1 engine failure to shutdown, massive fuel leak, extreme overheated brakes, complete tire de-pressurization, extreme overweight landing, punctured fuselage, loss of hull pressurization, etc.

@@bigbaddms low of hull pressurisation? Errrr no they didn’t have the fuselage penetrated. And in case it wasn’t obvious this is a list of faults that were caused by the failure of the number 2 engine. You haven’t really mentioned any “failures” there, just additional problems except the anti lock brake failure which was due to the hydraulic system loss which I did mention. Engine 1 failing to shut down was due to the electrical system loss

@@tomstravels520 actually there was a small hull puncture, however it did not affect the passenger cabin because it was on the underbelly and only affected a small portion of the cargo compartment. Even if they had lost ALL hull pressure that would not have been deadly on it’s own at the relatively low altitude that they leveled off at (7k feet). Humans can easily breathe air at outside pressure at pretty much an altitude under approximately 12k feet. Actually a small town not too far from where I was born is known as the “Two Mile High City” because it sits at an altitude of 10,151 feet.. well above the altitude that Q32 leveled off at.

Wowsers that’s quite a list! God bless you all

@@kathrynarchuleta1776 Denver is well over 5000 feet (5100-5700 depending on which part), as an example of very large cities that are in that altitude ballpark. I think there are South American cities over 10,000 - though not by a lot, and not huge ones.

It should give you comfort that these incidents are learned from and unlikely to ever happen again. Each disaster makes flying MUCH safer as we learn

Thank you! 🙏🏼

Green Dot Aviation is good value

But if he did have a sponsor there would be nothing wrong with that since at the end of the day, our favorite content creators getting paid for their hard work should always be viewed as a good thing.

Thank you! Will do!

*Whole wing comes off* Passengers and Flight attendants: 🤫

The need to fly and navigate first

Yes because you don’t know exactly what is wrong with the aircraft and what may or may not work

Thank you!

Glad you liked it!

Glad you enjoyed!

Most welcome 😊

Agree, Qantas 32 is many places around the Internet, but this is by far the best one !!!

Exactly. Plus some of passengers would have seen the issue. Why haven’t they reported it?

Thanks dlc!
