On the Mayday episode of this accident, the investigators, with the help of a human factors psychologist, actually did an experiment where an airplane cabin was configured and filled with volunteers to duplicate Flight 28’s passengers. Then to make them act like the plane was on fire, they offered money to the first ones out. As I saw the footage of the experiment, I saw people going over seats, getting stuck in the bulkhead opening and doors, and just plain chaos. And when the actual survivors saw the videos, they said, “yeah, that’s how it was”.

The only other incident to happen to a 737-200 that left it in a state similar to BeaTours 28M was that of Pacific Western Flight 501... In that case, the 737-200, registered C-GQPW, suffered an uncontained engine failure [one of the compressor discs in the starboard engine of C-GQPW had failed, sending debris into the fuel tanks.] on takeoff. In that case however all 119 passengers and crew managed to get out. But the plane itself was suffered the same post-fire damage as Juliet Lima, the 737 that did the BeaTours 28M run...

All modern engines, cowlings (the cover that surrounds the engines) & pylons (where the engine attaches to the wing) are designed to contain & control engine failures - there have been huge improvements to aircraft since this particular accident back in the 80's. The reason so many incidents start with engine issues is because they are the hardest working part in the whole aircraft - they are the reason you're up in the sky after all! You'd be amazed at how well engineered they are - titanium fan blades, wrapped in Kevlar, built-in fire detectors & extinguishers. They withstand freezing air, burn hot enough to melt most metals, and those fans spin at insane rates from the moment you board the plane non-stop until you disembark - so they are about as safe to operate as you can get! Most engine failures these days are down to maintenance. And there are several reasons that aircraft don't use external video monitoring, but it's basically not worth the trade off - aircraft are already filled with sensors that give pilots warnings about very specific failures, and most problems start out of sight (like an electrical wire burning out or a fire inside the engine). A video camera is only useful if you can see the problem on the outside of the plane - and by the time you can see the problem outside there's usually been a heap of alarms from internal sensors go off to notify the pilots. Plus external cameras & extra wiring add weight, add risk from adding holes in the fuselage, etc etc. - so basically the pilots wouldn't get any extra useful info from having external video monitoring to make it worthwhile.

Great video, as usual. The lessons learned in this disaster in the area of cabin layout and seating density were short-lived. Aircraft in service today have even more dense seating than the accident plane. An example can be found d when looking at the seating layout of the Airtoues 737. On the accident plane, the last two rows on the aircraft LH side have 2 seats across, leaving a wider aisle leading to the aft exits. Today’s 737s have 3 seats across in the last rows leading to the aft exits. Witness how today we have rows of sesfs directly IN FRONT of aircraft doors. Witness one of JetBlue’s 321 configurations where the literature pocket for the adjacent row is ON THE DOOR. Alaska’s 321NEOs are the same way. It is only a matter of time until we have a repeat of the Airtours tragedy,

There were litigations and new standards set and met, weeding out the "Third party sources" that couldn't bring their repair and recycling part qualities up to snuff... I'm not prepared to say this was among the crashes and incidents that led to such audits and actions by aviation authorities... ONLY that the audits DID happen and this wasn't the only time a dubious quality of repair was brought into question over damages and losses of life that shouldn't have been nearly as bad as they were under the scenarios and other preparations to aircraft safety. ;o)

Theres something that doesnt add up 100% in my mind in your explanation of the failed combuster can. Let me propose a scenario that makes more sense, at least to me: The pressure outside the combustor can is greater then inside the can, otherwise compressed air supplied by the compressor stages would not be able to enter it in the first place. Could it be that due to the cans failure, it was squished by the surrounding pressure, braking the fuel line supplying it, leading to fuel entering the space around and below the squished can, then cumbusting outside of the can, wich led to the overpressure that made that part of the engine explode? Whats left of the combustor can also looks rather squished in that picture. Maybe this is what you were getting at anyway, but it sounded more like you were saying the can itself exploded. Anyways, great video!

There should be pictorial instructions on it and it’s normally covered in the safety brief.

A prime example of people being killed due to a fire starting, not because of the flames but smoke inhalation. A sad case that was totally avoidable and unnecessary. Unfortunately checks on the flammability and the toxicity of the plane seats and other cabin furniture weren’t strictly carried out.

We allegedly have the technology to fly to the moon, yet for more than a century we travel around in metal tubes filled with explosive fuel that can be triggered for any number of reasons to ignite into a raging fireball. You would think by now we would have come up with a better idea.

Why did the pilots not activate the safety masks? Maybe It might have saved some of the passengers who died from toxic smoke inhalation.
@peteconrad20772 жыл бұрын
No it wouldn’t. It’s would have hampered escape and fed any fire that got on board. Oxygen masks were the last things they needed.
