9 Explosive Plane Crashes | Smithsonian Channel

I don’t think many people quite comprehend just how incredible the DHL landing in Baghdad was. Not only did they have no control. They also had part their left wing blown off, with the rest of it on fire

[@FloozieOne]

Yes. I felt like I was sitting in that pilot's seat myself wrestling with the yoke with the plane not responding to me. The feeling of just hanging on while believing that your best may not be enough must have been crushing. But he hung on and made an almost impossible landing.

[@fluffy-fluffy5996]

Didn’t they also land in a field full of unexploded mines and they had to be carefully cordoned off the terrain by walking in a track made by a tank?

[@wenthulk8439]

Yes they did well. Very well.

[@ajl729gaming2]

I was in 3rd grade at McKinley Elementary and saw the PSA 182 plane go down. It crashed a half mile away at the end of one of the streets from my school. Just watching the video brought back a lot of memories and feelings. It was a terrible day and many days after.

[@momstah]

@Chaz It didn't really affect me aside from nightmares of plane crashes now and then, but when I had my first child... yeah. That's when the fear of flying set in. I still hate flying, but I can get on a plane with a little bit of anti-anxiety drug, fly only in the mornings when the turbulence is less and have to be on the aisle.

[@momstah]

@@michaeldailey7103 yes, had the pilot not basically nosed dived the plane it would have taken out more of the houses and possibly the school. I just remember the entire school lined up on the sidewalk, looking down the street at the massive fire. St. Augustine High School was then used as a temporary morgue and I had to go past that every day. Forty one years later and I can still see it. I prefer road trips lol

[@peter.sung_]

Even though that second accident ended in tragedy, Paul Walker and the other pilot on the ground are heroes 👏 They did all they could to save lives in a incredibly dangerous situation and risked their own lives without any thought of the consequences. I hope they both realise that, but especially Paul Walker, because he shouldn't feel like a failure and he deserves to be recognised for his efforts

My (American) cousin barely dodged a ground to air missile in Saudi Arabia, back in the early 80s, while flying the Bin Laden family’s business jet .. Was a well paying job, but that scared him enough to come back to the states to get a job with a major carrier. I always wondered if Osama was one of his passengers, but it would have been before the black sheep of the family broke bad.
