[@medicus1963]

The Quantas pilots are even in Europe highly appreciated for their skills. The cousin of my mother has been Quantas Captain. He has started his career after emigrating to Australia from the scratch with post flights. He flyed to Papua Neuguinea distributing the mail. In his home country he began flying with 16 years with gliders. He was a typical pilot who could fly everything with wings and had the feeling for it. Once he had an emergency landing due to technical failure and had survived. The new generation of pilots might be good in technique and electronics, but the feeling for flying man get only starting with low tech planes. So it fits into the picture that the captain of the flight was before a military pilot. An interceptor man fly as well without autopilot!

[@paull502]

When you see the professional capability of people like Captain de Crespigny , Captain Al Haynes (the UA232 flight at Sioux City), Captain Peter Burkill (BA38 at Heathrow) and their crews one might be forgiven for wondering what kind of mentality is pursuing a single-pilot option for commercial aviation. Computers help, computers can even control when working correctly but when things go wrong a computer says 'that's it' and a professional crew says 'we'll find a way'. And these crews did exactly that. Astonishing skills.

[@Vousie]

Yup. Excellent pilots on QF32. And then you get the airlines that don't train their pilots well, and planes crashing because of pilot error and now plane companies think they need to put more automation in to protect from that - instead of just telling the airlines they need to train their pilots properly.

I strongly recommend the book QF32 written by the pilot. It fills in so much more detail and is a fantastic read. One of the key background features was his time in the Air Force. He was the sort of pilot who didn't just ant to know what he was doing but wanted to understand why he was doing it. That carried over to commercial aviation.

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

He's not just a pilot, he's a captain... The definition of professionalism and leadership. There's a reason I always feel safe when I get on a plane with the kangaroo on the tail and hear the familiar cool and calm Aussie accent of the captain speaking. Qantas flight crew are the best in the business. At least, they have been up until now. The corporate culture and kowtowing to political ideological agendas has plenty of potential to put that unblemished reputation at risk.

[@ericmarcelo8976]

The oil stub pipe breaks and spews oil on the engine: Wasn't there a sensor that could have alerted them? Like oil pressure or oil level drop? The oil bursts into flame: Strange that the oil burns but doesn't trigger an engine over temperature alarm. The engine starts to spin faster until the turbine fails: Don't they have an engine rpm sensor? Shouldn't that have triggered an alarm? These questions might have already been answered but not presented here. If not, maybe a further investigation is needed?

[@jaywalker1233]

good point - seems a weak point potentially in all turbine engines

[@QAT4969]

spot on. ECAS should have displayed ITT, VIB & maybe RPM. same question popped up as i was watching the video.

[@PBMS123]

At the end, they state that all of that likely happened so quickly that they didn't have time to react. They're in takeoff, essentially 100% power, max rpm, max fuel and oil flow. It only weight 160kg, it wouldn't take long to overspeed and shatter the disc at takeoff conditions.

[@krashd]

Yeah, as the guy above said, all of those things happened within the space of a few seconds, a fire starting inside a compressor (which is what that part of the engine was) is like spraying fuel into the air intake on a car engine, the engine would rev up enormously in just a matter of seconds and if it exceeded it's limits it would pop.

Once again I am puzzled that pilots had to send someone back to the cabin to look for any physical damage or fuel leaks when every $1k hobby drone carries a high-def camera. Why oh why are there not tiny cameras up in the tail and at the end of each wing where the pilot can look at the wing, engines and tail on his display with the flick of a switch? It is a no-brainer, and absolutely negligible extra expense.

[@VidWatcher-v4j]

I'm being an armchair quarterback with these suggestions. 1. Transfer fuel from the good wing to the wing leaking fuel. Hopefully it would release more fuel. 2. Put the landing gear down sooner causing drag and lower flaps slowing down the plane. To compensate, increase engine power using more fuel. I'm not a qualified pilot, just wondering if my suggestions would of helped.

issue would be that from transferring the fuel from the intact wing would make the wing now somewhat lighter and more fuel to an area where there is a possibility of it catching fire is not a good thing and could possibly cause the plane to bank to the left as the wing is heavier on the damaged wing as if you were to transfer more fuel to it then to compensate for it there would be A-symmetrical thrust on the right side engines to prevent excessive bank if it fails you would spiral out of control and again it is a position where you would not want to be in since the control surfaces are hindered too. putting the landing gear down will cause drag yes but they cant go too slow too as they may stall and too fast if they push for more thrust all while maintaining a correct pitch angle of the nose whilst using damaged flaps because if the flaps and slats were not working they could ultimately slam the nose gear or one of the gearsets near the wing faring to collapse scraping and possibly snaping the plane. Scraping the underside of the plane has its other issues too if the accident did go that route as more fuel would just leak out and obviously catch fire

Humans make errors! They always did and always will make errors. That's why I find it very disturbing that so many companies don't have proper quality checking for what they build especially if you're talking about planes. It's as if an engineer would design a bridge requiring a 1 inch thick steel rebar but nobody would check if the rebar being put in is the proper thickness. It's practically begging for something to go wrong. Not only that. Since many times the decisions are made by accountants (as Boeing is showing us) the first people that get laid off are those in quality control because they don't seem to produce anything that can be sold and their work only results in extra costs (as they reject bad parts). It's a shortcut to the company losing trust and causing death among their customers.

iam literally in tears.Fantastic pilots

Amazing job by all the crew, you are all heroes 😊

Why did the pilots wait so long to turn on the fire extinguisher in engine 2?

British Airtours would have been my first day on duty after training at Manchester but I stayed as a paramedic in the ambulance service. We were placed on standby then released to other calls then asked to respond. I will never forget the image of an ambulance from Cheshire in front of the burning wreckage waiting for help that was a very long time coming. The crew made the right choice not to evacuate QF32, as an experienced paramedic firefighter in AFRS as well as a Rescue Squad, I can see they were in the safest place. Airtours was a running fuel fire which are hot and deadly, inside that aircraft was chaos with scared people climbing over seats with people sat in them or people. The fact that over half got out alive was down to the flight crew who steered the aircraft towards the fire station. Help was right there. I have attended aircraft were the no1 engine exploded after rotate and the pilot landed then rejected take off. I watched it vanish off the runway with a burning engine and blazing undercarriage, underneath 60 tonnes of fuel. The pilot taxied then stopped, he didn't know where. He asked if he could evacuate and the police ordered him not too. Think the city where Saudia 163 landed, 15 minutes later the first fire appliance arrived followed by myself within a minute, I had followed the first. He had no water neither did I but two 40 tonne crash trucks arrived five minutes later. Within minutes they extinguished the fires, the passengers were then deplaned well those who could. We took dozens to hospital. When you are sat in an aircraft full of fuel and flames cover the windows people panic and get ill. QF32 was right not evacuating, the PIA Captain should have evacuated, minor injuries were better than what happened. Moving bodies across international borders is a nightmare for families having just lost loved ones.

I would have thought Titanic of the skies was Air France 447 due to the Pitot tube's being stuck with ice formation as a result that lead to calamity. may all the souls rest in piece..

[@thegrandmuftiofwakanda]

The pilot had ice up his bum? No wonder he crashed.

[@krashd]

@@thegrandmuftiofwakanda Don't talk ill of the dead, Monsieur Pitot was a great pilot!

So when is the hollywood mega movie re-take of this movie? Tom Hanks maybe in it?

[@NeilAngus-we2gh]

What an amazing crew

[@Probly_a_sweet_potato]

“Is it bad?” “Oh we’ll be fine, no worries… number 2’s blown apart, cut all through the wing, we’re leaking fuel”. That feels like a bit from a movie 😂. Like “Is it bad?” “Nah should be fine… we’re f*cked”

[@PBMS123]

Kinda just Australian culture. "She'll be right" attitude. The passengers can't do anything, there's zero point in scaring them, or telling them how bad it is, it would provide zero benefit.

[@wellhungwarlord]

I love the ridiculous flight decks they build for these 😂

[@Baskerville22]

Rain Man knew what he was talking about

[@jacksmalling4265]

Fantastic piloting.

[@taylor.shorty]

I should stop watching these videos before hopping on a plane

[@gbevan-c1n]

have to say well done in staying calm and identiying the problem

[@alpof809]

Great crew team!
