I just want to appreciate how you end most of your videos with scenes of the aircraft actually flying safely, as if the accident/incident never occurred. It's a gentle shift into a safer reality, and it's soothing and peaceful to contemplate.

Without knowing the circumstances behind this crash, it would appear that on the face of it, the engine out climb performance was compromised by excess weight. Something that should have been picked up in the preflight. Dumping fuel would be for reducing the aircraft weight for landing in normal conditions as the maximum landing weight is usually lower than the takeoff weight. However, an overweight landing can be done in an emergency using emergency procedures.

I worked in kmia during that time as an AMT and Millon Air had 3 or 4 Clapped out 707's they had ALOT of incident's @ MIA there was a joke on the Airfield about getting outta the way when they'd line up for T/O due to 2 to 3 out of 4 Engines compressor stalling while on T/O roll! It was bad over there!!!! I'll bet you any thing that they were grossly overweight too cuz that was what went on back then. The fright handlers would build a pallet and say it's weight was 4500 Lb's when it was 1500 to 2000 Lb's heaver X 13 positions and the other 3 Engines were not exactly healthy maintenance wise!

Modern certification requirements state that an airliner in part 121 service must be able to climb at a 2.6 degree gradient after the loss of one powerplant. The way this is met is by limiting the payload; The more payload, the more difficulty making this requirement. A twin engine airplane loses 50% of its power but 80% of its performance; A four engine airplane loses 25% of its power but about 40% of its performance in an engine out situation. Here's a little piece of information: Airlines do NOT lose your bags. You see those tags with barcodes? There are conveyor belts that take the bags to the cart and then to the airplane, and there are lasers all over the place reading those barcodes. Airlines always know precisely where your bag is at. They simply leave them behind in order to make these required performance specifications.

@peterlazuric5641 4 ай бұрын

Why did the crew not shut down engine # 3 and deploy the fire agent bottles to put the fire out. Then start to jettison fuel which would reduce the weight of the aircraft and give them more time to at least make the coast or maybe back to the airport.

@benc1103 4 ай бұрын

Probably way over max gross wt. Losing one engine on a 4 engine jet is not a big deal. If one of the other engines was having a problem, the flight engineer would have caught it. Without knowing the particulars of the investigation (like speeds, configurations, what they did in the cockpit, etc.), did the FO actually raise the gear? Or did he get distracted (easy to do) when the fire bell sounded and forget to raise the handle? Did they (flight engineer) increase thrust on the other 3 engines? Did they level off and try to get the flaps up? Fuel Dump rate is pretty low to help much at such a low altitude. It takes a long time to dump a significant amount of fuel. But the FE should have been on top of that. It's a normal briefing item. A good FE would have had that done before the gear made it into the gear well. Never heard of a min dumping speed, and I used to be a B707 instructor pilot and type rated in type rated in 11 jets, mostly Boeings. and Douglas. That big long streak of fire trailing the number 3 engine is a video feature. Not a real life thing. The F-111 is the only jet I know that could dump fuel and light up the vapor trail with the afterburners, on purpose for fun. Sometimes you just have to look at the jet and the operation and say, "No". Especially if you can't trust the weight and balance info.

@markr.1984 3 ай бұрын

This animated depicted aircraft looks more like the shorter Boeing 720 than a 707. The 720 was a shorter range aircraft based on the 707 but had several differences. Such as a re-designed wing, weight saving structures and the use on only two turbocompressors rather than three the 707 had. Also was shorter and stubbier. The 707 300 series was actually longer than most earlier 707s. So it just didn't look right to me.

@davidmccann9811 4 ай бұрын

Why was it still losing speed/height on three engines?

@jaym1512 4 ай бұрын

Why didn't they raise the gear?

@rapman5791 4 ай бұрын

They did raise the gear immediately after takeoff . The “Landing Gear” warning was to remind them to LOWER the gear, as they were descending and the plane didn’t know it was an emergency or just a regular landing, so it was a reminder to lower the gear because the sensors will alert the pilots after reaching a certain altitude during descent.Something they never do when ditching an aircraft into the sea (as they were attempting to do). The landing gear would have acted like spikes in the water and cause the plane to cartwheel or break apart as soon as it hit the water. I hope that helps . 👍 If you remember they were attempting to reach the coast to ditch in the sea. Also the landing gear creates drag and that’s the last thing they needed when losing altitude.
