Boeing 747 Nearly Crashes in the Heart of Europe | Terror on Board 

“A superior pilot uses his superior judgment to avoid situations which require the use of his superior skill.” - Frank Borman.

Apparently, the passengers of flight 411 thought that they were on a sightseeing flight and kept calm. I applaud them for that!

Since no one was hurt in the air or on the ground in Athens, I have to say how amazing it must have been to witness and hear a 747 flying overhead so close to the ground. Say what you will about Boeing, esp. after the merger, but the 747 was an amazing technological achievement, and thrilling to fly on back in early '70s. Yes, I'm that old.😂

After what the general public has recently learned about Boeing, i think very few would believe a word they say. Theyve always blamed the crews.

Boeing not being accountable, shocking 😂😂

Kudos to this greek captain and his crew !

In the Olympic case it was the flight engineer who initialy messed up by deactivating the water injection to the engines.

This one is definitely a re-upload from the previous channel owner. I remember it distinctly now.

What is it with uploading old videos on this formerly great channel? Nothing new, just reruns. Well that's it. I'm not coming back.

THIS CHANNEL IS SOLD AND HE MADE A NEW CHANNEL

That lady in red has got it going on.

Capitaine MIGADIS is à fantastic pilot !!.....

The quality of the content has dropped. Noticeably... now the videos are just some jumbled facts. The music isnt even inserted at the right moments. Wtf happened?

What even happened to this channel, why are you just reuploading videos?

I've seen this Olympic video before. Why repost?

Copilot: what's the big orange blob in the middle of the radar? Pilot: I don't know. Let's continue flying toward it though.

when will this channel be called re upload master 😃

I'm shocked how most of the people still don't care about the reuploads.

Shweeeeew 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮😮😮 Those Were Some Seriously Close Calls But Thanks To The Captains and Crew Everyone Survived 😊❤️😀❤️😇❤️

Don't usually comment on your videos, but had to here. Migadis was superb, using wits, experience, know-how. They must have been passing bricks at the time. How often has that happened to them? You're in one of those apartments at height, seeing a 747 just whisk past you like it was a bird. No recognition about engine no.3?? Lost of engine power?? Did they all dream it? Simulations all ended in crashes, yet the real thing did not. Boeing said 'you guys f***** up, and the plane rectified all, owing to its marksmanship and design.' Magadis had to have shown them the finger. Same thing again for the guys going to Cameroon. Last moments showing them an imminent crash and they had to dig in, pull up, avert, get over, land and kiss the ground in Douala. It's nice to see at least there were no fatalities, but good piloting.

No year given, 2 minutes in. EDIT: OK mid 1978 then. I'm at 8:51 and working 37 years back.

I would like every one of you complaining about this channel "falling off" to get right to making your own flight based RU-vid videos, to show us all how it's done. Post links when you're ready. I'm waiting.

Why are u posting that u already have posted on channel?

Was the date of the Olympic incident some sort of state secret or something? That's a rookie mistake, brother. You gotta do better than that.

What is the big deal about being first?

Did I miss the date in the beginning? When did this happen?

What is the simulator

Why do people worry so much about being the first one to comment?? What’s your big prize for doing so?? Geez lol

Ok, this upload is getting out of hand

Boeing was already shady back in the day.

« All good things must come to an end! » -The new owner of this channel, busy reuploading old videos without adding any value.

Another low quality re-upload, no thanks

i guess i must be a fairly recent sub. because i didn't want to binge watch to catch up. i haven't seen any of these. so i'm OK with it for now.

Yep, what did I thing to expect? 3 people saying “first” And 2 Original videos mixed together to make a new video, being almost utterly lazy.

Why do you hear the modern GPWS alert in the background? This happened in the 70s didn't it?

Jeez, pick your battles guys. If this channel's reuploads bother you so much, change channels. Like when watching tv.

Thanks for the video

Not interesting, nothing happened. And stop with disposing fuel in the ocean. Ridiculous

Two incidents that did not become accidents. Close calls! There is an interview with the pilot of flight 411 on my YT channel, I posted it 2 years ago.

I came looking for this comment...the hook her going up the steps at 1:35 how did you boys miss this???

How can you FORGET there's a bloody great mountain in the way??

the actual owner of this channel sold it long back. It is inside news.

This is literally just reuploading

You guys need to spellcheck your captions. At least 2 mispellings in this one. "Confuration" and "Bboeing"

Do a video on Delta 9877

Human error. I suppose all flights should be treated as first flights, checking every warning that is not usual. Still room for error though.

A Bbeoing…? 9:04 timestamp

Is there a new or better channel? I cant stand the reuploads

Has the first segment of the Athens flight been previously presented.

The ice nothing to do with stalling this old and less maintenanced airplane.

It looks to me the pilots of the 777 did not act immediately. Totally incompetent to not know where they were or notice the mountain coming up to them.

This channel has become nothing but reuploads.

Amen 🙏 🇺🇸🇵🇷✈️🙏.

Everyone that claims FIRST gets a cookie. Let us all know how it tastes.

Is this sim P3D? I don't think P3D has a 747 Classic, Then what is this?

Your music in all of your videos is obnoxiously LOUD! TURN IT DOWN!

If you pause the video at 1:40 theres a girl in a blue jean skirt obviously sneaking something on the plane. She could barely walk. She probably had something to do with it.

Whiny re upload comments incoming

Boeing - it says itt all. A piece of cheap low quality scrap up in the air. And Boeings absolute refusal to take any form of responsibility went unrecognized until the 737 MAX started dropping out of the sky due to poor construction.

Suggestion for TheFlightChannel: everything you do is top notch except for passenger animation. They move awkwardly and exhibit the most unnatural jerks and sudden jumps. I suggest removing the passenger animation all together. Keep the ground crew as they are less noticeable. This will make far better videos. Cheers.

Sad, I’ve unsubscribed for now, hope the channel gets a revival soon and please channel creators hear us all out, we were all true fans who watched all your videos from the beginning, reuploading the same content to milk views will just drive fans away.
