A Routine Flight Turns into Every Pilot's Nightmare (With Real Video & Audio)

An A320 operating as JetBlue Flight 292 takes off from Burbank, California, for a flight to John F. Kennedy Airport, New York. However, immediately after takeoff, the nose gear of an jams in an abnormal position. DHL Aero Expreso flight 7216 was a cargo service between Costa Rica and Guatemala. While performing this flight, the Boeing 757 lost its hydraulics, and during an emergency landing, it crashed immediately after touchdown. The aircraft operating as KLM Cityhopper Flight 433 crashed during an emergency landing in a field just outside Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. An Iberia Airbus A340-600 operating flight 6463 crashed after overrunning the runway in an attempt to land in Quito, Ecuador. Finally, a Boeing 747 operating as Ansett Australia Airlines Flight 881 is on final approach to Sydney Airport when the flight crew deploys the landing gear. However, the nose gear fails to extend. Believing the gear to be down, the crew elects to complete the landing. Find out what happed to these flights.

The KLM Cityhopper one really grinds my gears every single time. Major, massive negligence on the part of that flight crew.

I was a passenger of the Iberia flight to Quito, I was returning from a vacation trip from Spain, after touchdown we heard an explosion from the tires I guess and huge noise from the impact into the runway. We truly thought we were going to die that day because the plane never stopped and previous plane accidents in that airport happened the same way and they couldn’t make it. Everyone was safe after all

[@jellyhorizon]

Glad that you are okay!

[@aviator346]

Very unprofessional pilots...

[@vasilisraf]

which year happen that accident ?

[@daraghmorrissey]

I dont think the Jet Blue pilots failed - it was the landing gear that failed. The pilots did an amazing job to land the plane intact by keeping the nose up as long as they could.

[@sammylacks4937]

I remember that well because I walked in from work as the NEWS media were awaiting flight live while they circled burning fuel. This made jet lighter and less hazardous if the worse happened. I remember seeing the nose gear sideways , thinking they should be capible of safely landing if front gear didn't collapse striking runway. Whoever piloted that plane in sure knew how to ride the main gear and he/ she feathered that front wheel down so it only after a ways smoked from heat but no fire or collapse. Give that pilot a blue ribbon. Like a fighter pilot said once any landing you walk away from is a good landing. Any landing you can take back off again is a great landing Those pilots didn't fail they saved the day making a great landing after fresh tires. Don't hold that against them. .

A very simmilar accident to Ansett Australia occured in 2011 in Chopin Airport, when LOT aircraft landed without, of course, front gear. Everyone survived the accident.

Good summary of the 5 incidents. However, I notice that TheFlightChannel no longer has the majestic music playing-it added such a nice touch. TheFlightChannel is becoming like some of the other channels re air travel incidents. I think something has changed-and it is not a feather in the cap.

[@scottfranco1962]

I recall watching the Jetblue landing live. They made such a big deal of it, and it took them an hour or so to get ready for the landing, that it was on live TV.

They have to dump fuel

The CItyHopper pilot-flying (the captain) had failed two engine-out checks, and on his most recent one had been given a "standard minus," the lowest passing grade. The captain's death was attributed to his not wearing his shoulder restraints. A truly incompetent pilot, who should never have been flying passengers. At least after this flight he was no longer able to endanger passengers.

Don’t know why planes don’t have cameras that allow the crew to see the landing gear. I’d go without food if it would help cover the cost.

[@CATASTEROID934]

I imagine the cost analysis for such a component and all the other gear, services and training required to integrate it into the other systems on the aircraft and maintain it wouldn't be economical compared to the potential cost of an hypothetical accident in X number of working hours where it may have made a vital difference.

This video wasn't of the same high quality of other videos. Not enough info is given about these crashes, sometimes not even the fight number.

This video was rushed, as evidence by the numerous typos as well.
