Thanks for the video from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪 We love your narration

[@moujeabs7834]

Case 2 is a perfect example of even a single error or mistakes done by computers could costs lives. Great video btw

[@phoenixwrightdefenseattorney]

Is it Qantas 72?

[@amritlohia8240]

@@phoenixwrightdefenseattorney Yes.

[@Fcowiltonsilva]

You know that fear of flying for the first time? watching these videos this fear increases more.

Great that you present all this.. then cut away without any resolution..

[@LSBPS7614]

During its approach to Mexico City International Airport, the plane followed a Boeing 767 too closely and encountered wake turbulence which caused it to invert into a nose-down position

[@silverdandylmao]

This whole channel makes me nostalgic over flying, for some reason

[@joshuamartinez2389]

Learjet crash had two pilots that faked training and certifications that’s really didn’t know how to fly a airplane ✈️ so they didn’t know how to fly in rush hour situation and flew too close to another airplanes wake Turbulence

[@ysmithriley]

UNCONSCIONABLE❗

[@michaelmugo247]

The authorities are to blame for allowing them to fly

[@redsus4839]

The first clip?

@@michaelmugo247 they know how to fly planes in general, but they are not qualified enough to fly learjets

[@louieosumo]

Santa barbaras pilots were very late, they did start the plane but didn't wait for the computers to synchronize before taxiing. Because of that, they have no navigation systems, and ended up flying blind, into a mountain even with a backup compass.

How a cameraman survives still it is history to uss

[@Airbus_aviation18]

On ba38 they sound so british! “What’s going on? Looks like we have a double engine faliure!”

[@VecterAviation]

Ever wondered if maybe they were British pilots

[@Asperkid22]

Well no shish kebab

[@Steam171real]

Yes. It was a British Airways flight. So they must be British.

[@karenhodgson1413]

They were flying from Beijing to LHR, passing over Russia. Keeping a watch on the fuel temperature, which never froze, but small quantities of water (present in all Jet A1) did. When the air temperature increased, the ice turned to slush, and clogged the heat exchangers, resulting in fuel starvation, both engines flamed out. The plane, a 777, crashed just short of the runway threshold, and was written off. The fault was with the engines, leading Rolls Royce to redesign the heat exchangers, so this wouldn’t happen again.

[@SimulatorAdventures]

19:16 - Weird observation but they actually manged to get crisp HD footage of London's streets from 2008? Just for the documentary? At least all the cars look like the right era.

[@LSBPS7614]

The aircraft came to rest on the threshold markings at the start of the runway. A significant amount of fuel leaked, but no fire started. One passenger received serious injuries (concussion and a broken leg), and four crew members and eight passengers received minor injuries.

[@shahminasrawi3751]

As for the third case, I think the reason behind the accident was ATC failed to provide information about the most adverse crosswind conditions. This could have aware the pilot of the high winds.

[@omphalke3483]

Respect for the cameraman who survives everytime

[@pippyquark]

haha

[@adnanhaidershar]

ADR 1 had failed before the computer showed irractic angle of attack readings (8:09)

[@ahmaduzairii]

perfect example

[@Rawkwi]

The first learjet clip the FO seems a bit zoning out when giving instructions and the co-pilot look like he didn’t have enough training when approaching the airport.

[@phoenixwrightdefenseattorney]

It’s because they faked their license to become pilots

[@adnanhaidershar]

11:22 Wait a Minute here.... The Angle of attack sensors froze around 30000ft, but when the plane stalled it's only 3500 ft above sea level....how?

[@Aparanoidpunk6]

It was at different phase of test

[@The787Dreamliner]

9:08 can we just realize how that plane has no engines on (in front of the continental plane

[@adnanhaidershar]

9:24 Isn't he the same Air Traffic Controller who cleared American Airlines Flight 191 For takeoff (followed by a crash later)?

[@igotfreecandy123]

sorry for being late but same actor so yes

[@maxgodtankspubg3089]

We need more crashes!

[@Asif-ek1vs]

didn’t we see this so many time

[@naojinguji9182]

Flying get safer. Less crashing. Less material for new episode. Need to recycle old episode.

[@animegeek2488]

@@naojinguji9182 Season 23 for this show is coming out at the start of next year due to the fact that the US got season 22 in the form of season 17. Season 18 is just episodes from season 10 with a small amount from season 1 which the Smithsonian Channel never got due to that season airing on National Geographic in the US until National Geographic no longer had the rights in 2009.

Learjet crash was caused by poor piloting and they weren't even qualified as pilots and they flew too close to the 767 ahead British airway 777 accident was caused by a small design flaw the ice clogged the pipe
