Aerial calamities: Fatal Distraction and A Phantom Strike | Mayday: Air Disaster

[@taaurus13]

1:10:47 - I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! As soon as they said the plane had been sitting for weeks I literally yelled out loud “PITOT TUBES!!” My guess: Captain’s speed indicator connects to a blocked pitot tube. Maintenance probably left tape on them (I saw another episode where that happens). Autopilot must connect to it too and doesn’t know it’s wrong so it thinks the plane is going too fast & points the nose up to slow the speed. Which actually slows the correct speed that is showing on the FO’s indicator and that triggers the stall warning. Then the Captain - panicking and I guess forgetting that his indicator was the one not working on takeoff, decides both indicators are wrong now for some reason, then takes control and slows the plane even more, which stalls it and crashes the plane. The Captain freaked out & crashed the plane bc of careless maintenance. That’s my guess. The NTSB should hire me if I’m right! ETA: okay not tape but I was close! (also, that was just my guess after having watched so many of these. But it was all things that Captain, as a Captain flying a plane, should have known. Also, maintenance knows about bees and knew the pitot tubes weren’t covered and did nothing?)

I was on to that from the off'ing too. We're learning! First officer needed to assert but tragically did not

So Sad and ridiculous, that bomber he is alive and a free man now, just walking around breathing and enjoying his life, classified as "low risk" and released from his halfway house, while these poor people lost their lives and that poor woman lost her entire family. Canadian parole board said he is reformed now. RIP to all those who lost their lives, and their poor families ❤

[@Qsefthuko4]

Yeah "rehabilitated" 😂 it's sad they released a MASS murderer

Canada seems REALLY soft on criminals, the worst ones.

Every time I see the repeat of this crash, I’m so impressed with the investigation.

[@elizabethlegault5034]

The investigator is adorable I dont think i could look that happy after this happened

[@AnthonyRufo-py4yr]

Radar says flight altitude is costal, then air traffic controller asked the pilot what altitude lol

[@ccrgrl]

The woman who lost h÷r entire family, so heeartbreaking

[@countryjoey858]

Her^* you mean obviously

[@christianbuczko1481]

That bruntingthorpe test seems to have a MASSIVE flaw. They pressurized the jet for the 1st tests without blast protection, for the 2nd test, that aircraft had no rear end and could not be pressurized...

[@siskojaakkola1650]

As an airline employée, one should never get impressed by a client getting angry ; on the contrary, one should call the Police to come over and not give in...the terrorists are under pressure and this is why sb showing signs of anger should raise alarms...and why should you care if sb not complying with transit rules misses his flight...he's angry for losing time, just to put the pressure on you to make a bad decision to give in...all criminals are first class manipulators

Why aren't CVR and FDR data sent straight to a cloud service?

[@Qsefthuko4]

Money

And not all clouds are reliable.

Isn’t this story from before Cloud?

[@Justice-ef9sk]

@@andreadiamond7115WAY before. Lol that cloud hadn’t even formed yet. 😂

The was 1985😂😂 no internet forget about the cloud

Air India has the most beautiful uniform. I don’t care whose kids wants to go into the cockpit. These pilots should have been a responsible grown adult or go back to the airline school.

HOW SAD

[@taaurus13]

Uh, that crash in the Canary Islands was due to an egotistical arrogant captain who thought he could do whatever he wanted. Full stop.

[@13SarcasticCats]

That last one could have been avoided if they had all just communicated.

I'm wondering if the opening of Salman Rushdie's book "Satanic Verses" looks back at this tragedy.

[@Big-Blue-Blanket.]

It had to do with radical Sihk terrorists not radical Islam.

Religion of peace

[@hali8580]

It was Sikh and Hindu extremism. So you are clearly a person who is prejudiced. You saw a brown person with an accent and a heinous crime with a bomb and thought Muslims. Take a look at your life and ask why you have such prejudices. Peace
