I love it and just feel so happy when I’m watching the video and then it suddenly pans over to a survivor from the crash instead of hearing the narrator say there were no survivors. This accident though, was my happiest moment yet. ❤
It’s even better when a baby is born during the flight, so that beyond no losses, the flight actually has more living passengers than when it took off.
I've seen this episode before, and I watch it every time it comes up. I've even looked for it to watch from time to time. It's one of my favorites because of the research done to find the culprit, and also the quick thinking of the captain to give them those few more feet of airtime they needed to get over the obstacles. Plus, there were no casualties. A quote from Doctor Who always comes to mind. "Everybody lives, Rose. Just this once, everybody lives!"
Man, I love this show so much! It's fascinating to see how investigators piece everything together to prevent future accidents. I would LOVE some behind the scenes footage, showing how the recreations are filmed & so forth!
@@AntiFurrySupport it’s amazing though when horrible as these accidents are they inspire engineers to make flying safer all the time. That’s why I find the crashes interesting. 🤔
I won’t spoil the episode, but the problem had nothing to do with anything made by Boeing. Just thought I’d point that out before foreign trolls started fear mongering.
It was the micro tube heat exchanger designed and manufactured by Rolls Royce. Sadly they did not actually show the heat exchanger, only a mock up of tubes being held together.
They're referring to 777s at large, not that specific plane. That comes out to about 550 777 flights per day, worldwide. Most commercial planes fly multiple flights per day, and this one was specifically mentioned to be good for both short and long haul runs. It's not an unreasonable number of flights.
Its ironic that the Boeing 777's QAR Quick Access Recorder uses a PCMCIA card. The only problem that unless you get a special custom built laptop, they no longer come with PCMCIA slots as back in the day, those slots were meant for telephone modems or network cards (either wireless or cat 5 wired (via a custom dongle that the rj45 plugged into and then the dongle plugged into the PCMCIA card. 😛
Star Trek The Undiscovered Country "An ancestor of mine once said 'If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." Keep looking. Eventually, you'll find the truth. My question is, why can't they have a fuel system additive that prevents moisture from in the fuel from forming ice in the first place? Something that absorbs and assimilates water and helps it blend with fuel at non dangerous levels?
The crash landing of British Airways Flight 38 dominates headlines around the world, including the US media, such as NBC and CBS News Nobody could've imagined that a crash like this one could happen in one of the world's busiest airports like Heathrow!
16:50 I get this is a rerun, and that it's an older aircraft, but I don't get why audio and data recorders are so limited now. I have an audio device that supports 16 channels of audio that basically fits in a water bottle and can hold about 400 hours of audio with an expandable memory of about 1 or 2 years more, nearly everything is either wireless or I would probably use contact with lock and latch. Not to mention basic power storage for them that, say the aircraft gets obliterated it keeps the device on long enough to save the last data.... And Honestly, it probably wouldn't be too hard to make dozens of armored Altoids tins* and scatter them throughout the aircraft just in case.
@@diontranekr6567 deep after is easy, most abs plastics are effectively crushed proof, and nearly everything is solid state now. It would be like tossing a silicon brick into the ocean like, good luck with that. The other one is more tricky , but currently a lot of it is either water based or highly moist Drywall* encasing a silicon brick. The idea is it boils away the heat until someone can get there.... Guess would be more robust memory modules
I'm sure one consideration is the cost to design, test it sufficiently, and deploy, but I agree it seems like the result would be worth the investment.
@@tomorrow4eva as for cost, these jets cost in investments that be calculated in high schools Like, a new high school plus annual staff is "only" about $25 million
Install 4 engine on all commercial jets.Whats Is the problem with the manufactures that the pilots can't see the engines from the cockpit?Here in Houston Metro City Buses has cameras so the operator can see inside and outside the bus.There should be cameras on these jets that would give the pilots and flight engineer a 380 degree view of the aircraft.
if i had the money i would fly alot and the time to do so now i dont due to school if i wanst in school i would love to fly on planes with these types of pilots i wont have to worry about my life only if i knew a head of time and how they are it will relax me before i step foot on a plane
Why is it that they so commonly used the call of speedbird.? I seem to hear that in different videos it seems like maybe one airplane would have that in their call name but not a bunch of them.
According to google, it’s the call sign for the British airways airline. Meaning all aircraft in that airline would use it.(In 1939, the airline adopted the call sign, deriving it from the airline's emblem, which featured a stylized seagull in flight)
"One of the most sophisticated airplanes" Hm... well, seems people love to brag. There is a Greek saying "Μεγάλη μπουκιά βάλε στο στόμα σου μα μην πεις μεγάλο λόγο" which is translated as "Put a big bite in your mouth but don't say a big word" Apparently things may go wrong at any time!
Gimli Glider episode... produced by you guys yourselves... The plane ran out of fuel at 39,000 feet... not 26,000 feet as you mentioned here. Please double check production scripts before committing to recording.
This show would be amazing if they lost the actors trying to (and nearly always failing) put together dramatic scenes, and whoever does the set lighting needs to goooooooo. The premise is awesome though!
Two million 777 flights without a major accident (at the time of this incident) is not a curse. Commercial airplane crashes with fatalities by manufacturer for 2014 to 2024: ○ Boeing: 16; 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019 being the most prominent. ○ Airbus: 10; mostly involving A320 series aircraft. ○ McDonnell Douglas: 1; as most of its aircraft have been retired. ○ Embraer and Bombardier: Fewer than 5; primarily involving regional jets.
@@johannrajan3279 right so lets just ignore the hundreds of people dead and families ruined over the past years due to Boeings negligence and greed. And the boeing CEO had to testify to congress? and got a 45% raise while their workers got a 1% raise over 10 years and are threatened and mentally abused to not spread factual information on how Boeing executives are skimping on engineering designs which puts people at risk every day?
Ice that had built up during the coldest part of the flight in the fuel system got turned into slushy ice as they descended and then it got dislodged and created a bottleneck at the fuel heat oil exchange core face when the pilots had demanded more power. Problem was fixed by redesigning the fuel heater core face.
