That first flight, WILD that the co-pilot got half the blame on that one. Telling your superior OVER AND OVER AGAIN that, "hey, we are running out of fuel" just for him to ignore it.

[@jaydumon2784]

They didn’t make sure the captain understood the situation though. Yeah, the captain should have listened but if the copilot and flight engineer would have made sure he understood the fuel situation the plane would not have crashed. And the purpose isn’t to shame the pilots for their poor job, it’s to see how the accident could have been prevented.

[@Jay12321Jay]

@@jaydumon2784 Ignoring the problem of command hierachy, apart from starting to slap the Captain in the face not sure what more one can do other than REPEATINGLY showing and expressing the "THE FUEL IS RUNNING LOW". If I am in command and not only failing to understand that we are running low on fuel, but my subordinates tell me this OVER and OVER again. That crash is on me.

[@TheEquationSlayer]

They aren’t “blaming” anyone. People will always make mistakes, so the procedures need to be robust enough to account for them. The fault is with the emergency protocol/checklist, since it did not account for things like “pilot was distracted and did not acknowledge low fuel warnings”.

[@PrograError]

This also happened to a Korean airline flight, with the captain ignoring the co-pilot due to “seniority”.

[@Paul_Wetor]

Even with the hierarchy at the time, how could the other people in the cockpit not be more forceful, since their own lives were in danger. They'd rather take their chances with a plane crash than challenge the captain?

[@betterchapter]

Most pilots recognized and solved the problem. But I like what Sully said about this type of thing. "Pilots should never be expected to compensate for flawed design." If there is a system that repeatedly fails to give accurate data to the pilot, that sounds like flawed design to me.

[@Schlabbeflicker]

This is actually a really good maxim for industry and business in general.

[@HowdIEvenGetHere]

#improvepolling

[@bendybus5165]

Same logic applies to a system too that uses pilot input as a fail safe/last resort measure - the final line of defence of a crucial system shouldn't ever rely on human input (unless human input is already a very large part of it's design and operation; the stall warning system/AOA sensors and stick pushers for example)

[@LeeStewart]

CRM is fundamentally important in aviation safety. We've seen a few accidents occur because the pilots aren't working together. CRM has historically saved lives.

[@FNLNFNLN]

Society needs to take the hint and realize that maybe commercial aviation isn't the only place CRM might be helpful. Aviation in general has a lot of lessons it could teach everyone else - when small mistakes leave a visceral, unignorable consequence like 300 corpses in a multi hundred million dollar hole in the ground, issues that might skate by in other industries quickly become critical problems that need to be solved immediately. Surgery and medicine adopted the airline industry's practice of having checklists for everything, and massively cut down on the rate of complications and mistakes, and the fundamental principle behind CRM is so universally applicable and useful you might as well just teach it in grade school.

[@Pivotcong2000]

It’s not just a few. Some of the worst aviation accidents in history had lack of CRM as a contributor like Saudi 163, Tenerife, Charkhi Dadri collision, AF447.

[@rationallyruby]

@@FNLNFNLNwow that’s a great point. I think the big difference is in medicine the issue of time is much more of a problem. Problem solving in a group relies on the group being able to talk things out. But if you only have seconds to make a decision to save someone’s life you don’t have that time. But overall I agree.

[@FNLNFNLN]

@@rationallyruby Aviation also has situations where split second decisions are required. Sure, there are things that need to be done by memory, but if you look at a variety of incidents, as soon as the plane is no longer falling out of the sky, the first thing flight crews do is to start going through checklists to troubleshoot the issue. It's also important to note that there are multiple people involved, in aviation, as in medicine, and this is where the CRM comes in handy. If everyone knows what should be done, you can have one person dealing with the immediate emergency, while the others run checklists to make sure nothing's being forgotten or overlooked, and if the pilot or surgeon is making a mistake, the copilot or nurses running the checklists can remind them. There's also the other part where checklists run in advance of acting can prepare you for emergencies. For example, pre surgical checklists involve steps like confirming the site of surgery (i.e. you're operating on the correct leg), that there's enough blood on hand in case it's needed, that there are no medication allergies, etc.

[@ibec69]

The moment a pilot realises they probably won’t survive but they want to cause as few fatalities as possible is a peak humanity moment. Passengers on a plane suddenly become souls on board.

[@cremebrulee4759]

The number of souls on board is what ATC always asks in an emergency.

[@Willaev]

How did the fuel become this low in the first place? You have to have enough fuel to start with.

[@DocuzanQuitomos]

Due to the doubts the plane"s landing gear was not secured in place, the captain flew in circles over Portland; without changing the landing configuration of the plane. This caused more drag, forcing the engines to work harder and burn fuel at a higher rate. As that happened, the captain got so focused on running every single checklist that could guarantee the landing gear was not locked in position. He got so fixed in that train of thought he ended up, precisely, flying past the reserves planned for an emergency.

[@n3wt]

Wow good unique topic and video Flow

[@amcconnell6730]

Part of the problem for the first accident was that the jet age was very new. In a piston airliner when the engineer says you have 5000lbs of fuel - that's a lot. In a low by-pass early age jet at low level it isn't. The Captain, with 27000 hours on piston airliners just didn't twig that 5000lbs isn't a lot of fuel...

[@DocuzanQuitomos]

That's an unfair comparison. The 737 model has a more crashes.because it's been a workhorse of the industry for several decades (it first flew in 1968). According to official figures, 11,797 Boeing 737s of any variant have been built (as of 2024), logging collectively 184 million flights (as of 2013). Of those 184 million flights, only 529 have ended in accidents/incidents. So, no; in spite the recurring problems of the Max variant, the Boeing 737 is not a killing machine just because it has more crashes than any other commercial airplane (it has them, mostly due to its long service history).

[@arashi32900]

The training check airman who came to assist, Dennis Fitch, had studied the 1985 crash of Japan Airlines 123 where a fatigue crack from an improper repair of a tailstrike resulted in the destruction of the tail of the plane and a catastrophic loss of hydraulic power and control where, despite the crew's heroic efforts, they crashed in a mountain killing all but four out of 524 onboard. He had practiced the scenario in a simulator after wandering if it was possible to control a plane in that condition using only throttle power. This helped save the lives of the 184 who survived United Airlines 232.

[@thegamingplayer8395]

Over 500 people on board😮 that’s insane, do flights today still carry mass amounts of people like this?

Got this from google: ‘The Airbus A380, a double-decker aircraft with four engines, can typically seat 525 passengers, but its maximum certified capacity is 853’.

What’s even wilder is that Denny Fitch was absolutely the best person to have join the cockpit crew at the time. He had studied the crash of JAL123, still the worst single plane crash in aviation history. He was obsessed with trying to figure out how the pilots managed to keep the plane in the air so long and did a ton of practice in simulators trying to work it out. Because of this, he had literally the exact knowledge needed to help in the situation with the United plane!

This was discussed in Malcom Galdwell’s book “Outliers.” It talked about how because of Korea’s strict hierarchical society, co-pilots wouldn’t challenge their captains. As a result, Korean Air had the highest rate of accidents for a period of time until they realized the problem.

[@OwlRTA]

Gladwell got a lot of criticism from people that are actually within the industry. Asiana had a normal safety record of its time despite also being Korean. The real problem with Korean Air was their poor CRM program, and even then, their safety record was on par with USAir.

[@tullochgorum6323]

[@strikan115]

Captain John Cox big respect and greetings from Croatia

[@lukethomas.125]

0:36 Absolutely correct. There's a very important rule in aviation if dealing with problems on board. It's called "Aviate, Nagivate, Communicate", they are listed from most vital to least vital. Aviate = Fly the plane is the priority. Navigate = Be aware of your location and adjust if necesarry (high terrain, storms etc...), Communicate = Communicate with ATC (Say intentions, discuss your course of action etc...) Many times in aviation, professionnel pilots focused on Navigate instead of Aviate, a prime example being American Airlines flight 965, which crashed into a mountain in Columbia after the crew made navigating errors and experienced a case of "Get-There-Itis", basically a need to rush the descent and landing without taking the time to consider the feasibility of the plan and ended up crashing into El Diluvio.

[@__ASAAA]

I think a very important aspect about flight 232 that was left out was the emergency response. The crew got the plane down on an airfield where there was a lot of emergency workers already waiting for the plane and more on rout to the site. Departments had people come up from 80+ miles away to assist in the operation. You can survive a plane crash usually as long as help is available right away. Most of those who died on that plane died due to smoke inhalation and being in parts of the plane that were not accessible after the crash. Most people were injured and a lot needed to be assisted from the plane. If there had not been the amount of people there that there were than that assistance and immediate aid would not have been available. This is not meant to diminish the efforts of the crew as their actions undoubtedly played the most important role, getting the plane down. but that is only half the story. I would also like to add that although there were no procedures for their situation Denny Fitch said that he had previously practiced doing power only turns in the simulator on his own time. Captain Haynes later said that although Fitch was very experienced it took some time for him to full realize what was happening before he was able to start helping. Additionally i would like to add that the plane coming in to fast was in no way under the control of the crew. they were controlling pitch (the angle the nose points relative to the ground) by trying to go above or bellow the trim speed (the speed at which the plane flies level without elevator input) bellow it the nose points down and above it the nose will come up. that speed happened to be very high as without hydraulics they could not control flaps. this meant that through no fault of their own they came in very fast.

I remember the Sioux City crash, very well. My husband had to convince me to fly again.

He was one of the few people, that airlines would come back to the departing gate for, if the National Mediation Board needed to give him something. I recall them calling me, to come get a brief he would need. I'd have to get our children into the car, drive into DC, where his secretary would hand me a package, then I'd drive to National, (now, Reagan), get the childreb=n into the baby carriage and run to the departure gate. What a time it was, to be young, before computers.

[@ShesAaRebel]

When professionals who have years of experience put their egos aside to take any help they can get from someone who is still learning, it's truly inspiring. In many professions, sometimes the new blood have insights, and more up to date info than the more seasoned people. I know in my job I'm guilty of falling into habits, and what is comfortable. We NEED people fresh out of school to be around us in order to pull us out of those zones.

[@18_rabbit]

yES! that is a very very interesting topic, and it's a bit more complex than most ppl grasp for one main reason: the whole point of extremely routine work such as piloting is to resist getting too habit-prone in a mental sense, and also even much more importantly, to be of a personality disposition as to reduce ego to a bare minimum when working. But big btw, it really should be entirely normal (and not particularly inspiring i'd imagine) for long-experienced operators to take any help they can get, in fact, the whole point of being a mature professional is to exactly that type of operator, i.e., almost zero ego, per se, and the wisdom to know that the mind takes shortcuts and makes so sooo many mistakes! I'm a very technical person, and tbph, IF i had to choose between a modest quality pilot, and a true full automated plane (which may not exist yet) I'd pick the automation, probably. To err, is a normal human behavior.

Sometimes having someone still learning or in training is super valuable. A lot of the first things you learn are the things you need in emergency situations! Pilots that have been flying for decades may have forgot a lot of the book stuff as they nearly never need it.

Aaaand I just flew through the one most popular US company and this was maybe my 4th flight where I had to put emergency masks and we had to do emergency landing, talking about the luck maybe should play a lottery if you say 100 years until someone dies in the plane every single day fly with the plane it has to be something special about it 🤣

Boeing used to be the best, too. They stopped focusing on safety, possibly after the merger with Douglas.

@@cremebrulee4759 tbh a LOT of well-informed people are pinning this on mindsets imported from McDonnell, so that could be a good observation

Boeing went downhill once the Wall Street types took over and the stock price became the sole priority.

I remember this crash in Portland I live in the Columbia river gorge my dad drove us by this crash the aircraft wasn’t totally destroyed like a lot of them for going through the trees like it did. It was amazing it held together. I was like 16 years old when that happened.

To correct the record.......CRM originally stood for "cockpit" resource management. When it was pointed out the flight attendants were also a valuable source of info.......the acronym's meaning became Crew Resource Management!!
