9 Crazy Air Disasters Where Everyone Survives | Smithsonian Channel

[@pamelaphelan4144]

Had the pleasure of flying on a trip with Captain Sully (as a flight attendant). He truly was a very kind man and a true professional. His “Pre-Flight Briefings” with us were very thorough. When I found out he was the Captain of that flight I understood completely the success of that ditching. 👏👍🙏❤️

[@heleneg525]

Airline passengers would always be very fortunate to have pilots like Captain "Sully," those who have served as military pilots.

I wouldn’t be so scared of flying if I knew he was the captain. Unfortunately he’s retired so I’ll never have the pleasure of that. He’s definitely one of the best in the field.

[@mikewizz1895]

@@nightmareflame101 Yes

[@Alb410]

The problem with that one is that that crash was also due to pilot error.

[@nightmareflame101]

@@Alb410 Maybe. But not everything was their fault. 1.) At the time of the accident Canada changed their metric system from pounds (feet, etc.) to kilograms (m, cm, etc.). Flight 143 was one of the first, maybe even the first plane to receive fuel in kilograms instead of pounds. And that's where the first error happened. Instead of x kg of fuel, it got x pounds of fuel and since pound is around half of kilogram, they only got half of the fuel they needed. 2) Second error happened in the software of the plane. A plastic was covering one of the components on the motherboard that was suppose to tell the pilots that they don't have enough fuel, but since it was covered and wasn't working properly, it didn't. Yes, the pilots checked the papers with the fuel to make sure it's ok, but on paper it was! They had no idea that they only had half of the fuel. Still, praise to the captain for bringing the plane back to ground safely.
