An Explosion That Caused A DEVASTATING DISASTER | Behind Closed Doors | Mayday: Air Disaster

An explosion tears a gaping hole in a brand new DC -10 just minutes after launch. The pilots just manage to land, and the investigation reveals that the rear cargo door is defective. Two years later, another aircraft is hit by a similar incident, but this time the pilots are not so lucky.
Why did the same problem occur on both planes?

Mayday: Air Disaster - from Season 5 Episode 3 "Behind Closed Doors": American Airlines 96 & Turkish Airlines 981 (DC-10)
An explosion rips a gaping hole in the cabin of a brand-new DC-10. Investigators discover a serious problem with the design of the plane’s rear cargo door, and recommend ways to fix it. Two years later, another DC-10 takes off on a routine flight - only to suffer the exact same problem, with deadly consequences. The accident could have - and should have - been prevented. But why wasn’t it?
Climb into the cockpit for an experience you won’t soon forget. Using news footage, interviews and gripping reenactments, MADAY 5 investigates aviation disasters to find out what went wrong and why.
Now in its fifth season, the series takes viewers on ten more ill-fated flights. Based on cockpit voice recorders, eyewitness accounts, and accident reports, the series expertly recreates the pressure and tension of being in the cabin and the cockpit.
MAYDAY 5 also follows survivors, family members and air crash investigators as they piece together the causes of the disaster. Whether the result of a fire on-board, automated flight systems, pilot error, or manufacturing defects, every accident offers valuable lessons about air travel, that ultimately make flying safer.
MAYDAY 5 takes you to the scene of the crash like no other show. Buckle up for another season of tension-filled flying and surprising scientific investigation.

[@electricturtle3326]

33:20 that brought up some pretty raw emotions. My heart aches for the families.

[@dabs4602]

Mayday does such a good job with these documentary's I found myself almost wishing there were more plane crashes, lol. Nooooooo

[@josephweiss1559]

You don't want to wish that

[@johna.4334]

Oh my gosh, just the mere thought. How could you???!!!

[@catmac4700]

The comment was a joke, albeit a poor one. 😒

[@daviddavis3389]

That sounds like a sick & morbid statement, but I'm sure that you were joking...Even though it's actually not a humourous subject...

[@TaylorAmelia]

There are tons they just haven’t done episodes on them

[@brent2438]

Only a pilot would announce that "We have a SMALL problem". I would never, ever, take off my shoes. Pretty hard to evacuate a plane that may end up on fire, or, dangerous wreckage to walk thru.

[@DylanTrippe]

For those wondering why it's on the left, it's probably the class D cargo door situated on the left of the plane.

[@keithfaulk1354]

Can you imagine hitting the ground doing 5 or 6 hundred miles per hour in a plane?? Wow!!

[@died4us590]

I can't imagine my family member being blown out of a plane in the casket and landing on the ground like that. Thank G-d for having his hand on that plane.

[@slagarcrue85]

Bryce is among the few to pull of such an impossible feet with a good outcome.

[@ntag411]

A familiar episode for me. The outward opening cargo door latches give out with higher plane altitude that causes higher interior air pressure.

[@chris7933]

Bryce McCormick looks like the co-pilot on " Airplane" .

[@RealSaulGoodman78]

4:29 look close MD-11

[@a.h.s5152]

It's crazy seeing the coffin ⚰ with the legs hanging out of it, at least they were already dead

[@wez123123123]

Old McDonnell had a plane Ee i ee i o And on his plane he had some passengers Ee i ee i oh With a crash crash here And a crash crash there Here a crash, there a crash Everywhere a crash-crash Old McDonnell had a plane Ee i ee i o

[@slagarcrue85]

Douglass luck ran out eventually they struck out to many accidents, the company died. Bowing came in like the thing and asord Douglas assets the only thing that remained of there revivals essence.

[@slagarcrue85]

Here’s the worst part Douglass knew about the design flaw several years before and Windsor which my and extreme miracle every one survived and the fatal second crash in Paris. Douglass stupid prideful and gred put out performing there two rivals and maximizing the best finical stability. Over passenger safety. Passengers safety comes first always when designed such a massive heavy piece of technology costs be damed. You got to hold these big airplane feet to the proverbial moving buzz saw not fire to get them to cave in : even then some times it may be still to late the wounds our to severe for the company to survive.

[@marielongoria6714]

@slagarcrue85: Huh?

[@tholang6415]

2024 everyone

[@josephweiss1559]

Use Imperial not Metric

[@johna.4334]

Imperial is soooo last century. Get with the times!

[@TaylorAmelia]

America isn’t the only country in the world. But it is the only country that doesn’t use the metric system. Pretty sure this show is British.

[@thunderburkhardt2684]

Maysau does such sn awful job using others footage, tje edited voice is annoying amd the overthetop nlises are not necessary i dont watch

[@thunderburkhardt2684]

And my keypad is bad, i can type lol
