There's another why the Soviets required five crew members to fly their planes.. This was to prevent only one or two pilots to get it into their heads to defect. Also, the IL-76 was designed initially to be a bomber, hence the glass nose.

Just a correction. There were 289 passengers and 23 crew onboard Saudia - Saudi Arabian Airlines Flight SVA763.

Yes, I lost my brother on the Saudi plane. He was about to get married, and he was the only person who did not find his body. They used to take some of the bodies in bags, to the point that we searched the dentists’ records to see if the remaining bodies belonged to him or not. Unfortunately, we did not find, instead of That’s because our lives have changed from that moment until now. For me, I travel a lot, and whenever I start taking off or landing, I remember those situations well. I move from one country to another. I don’t tell my mother when I travel but when I arrive, and also when I return I don’t tell her until I arrive, pray for them. All have mercy.

[@andrewtaylor940]

If I remember correctly, the “witness” was a U.S. Air Force Transport crew who were on a humanitarian relief mission. The ATC asked them if they saw anything. They first reported the flames in the clouds, and later described seeing 2 distinct flaming trails falling to earth. They also went into “defense” mode assuming that missiles were involved. At least until it became clear that what they saw was a 2 plane collision. I’m always kind of amazed at how unknown this crash is? To me it actually seems worse than Tenerife. I mean yes Tenerife technically had greater loss of life. But Tenerife also had a surprisingly high number of survivors. Whereas this one was 2 full passenger airliners with a complete loss of life.

[@2002georgezacharia]

@@lowlowseesee the shock ( in a good sense I mean ) was over survivors was mainly related to this crash, this mid air collision was extremely horrific (many bodies were not recovered and many undetected. Most likely the early survivors would be on the Il-76 I assume as it had some fly ability till the end, Almost all bodies in the Saudi 747 were charred beyond recognition ( most only identified by DNA tests) IN such an accident even having people initially survive sounds a (miracle :)

[@sdot40k]

How would they possibly survive dropping out of the sky

[@ABCDEFR]

@@lowlowseesee In incidents where some semblance of control is maintained all the way to the ground, let's call it the distinction between a "crash landing" and just a "crash", a surprising percentage of people usually survive the initial impact with the ground. Unfortunately aircraft also happen to be flying gas tanks, and it's usually the ensuing smoke/fire that claims the majority of those who might've survived otherwise. Outside of crash landings, people have also survived far more "impossible" scenarios too, of course. Vesna Vulović, a flight attendant aboard JAT 370, survived not only the detonation of a bomb on board and subsequent midair breakup of the aircraft, but also the 33,000 foot free fall that came immediately after. 4 people, including 2 children, survived after JAL 123 slammed into a mountainside at ~340 knots in Japan. It's not entirely outside the realm of possibility that there were survivors, at least initially, from this incident as well.

[@annabethchase2569]

I'm from India so I've heard of this incident (I was only a couple months old when this happened so no recollection) but never knew the specifics. I'm happy that the ATC did as required and was recognized for that. The last thing I'd want is to be blamed for 346 deaths even though I did everything right and someone else didn't follow instructions correctly. I guess we will never know what happened in that 5 person cabin that led to a communication breakdown, but that is deadly. We could only hope that lack of communication would no longer be a factor but human nature tells me that will never happen. Also, the airspace issue and bureaucratic delays for the radar system are just terrible on the part of the Indian govt and military

[@lemonflavorclorox7389]

I agree it kind of serves the purpose of rubbing off the shoulder as “not our problem” “instructions given but someone didn’t follow”. A greater relief would’ve been acknowledging that the country as a whole was responsible for this, if not just the pilots. A focus on the level of corruption must be done here. Indira Gandhi International Airport did not have secondary surveillance radar. Not because it didn’t exists. It was year 1996. 90% of world, even 3rd world countries had this advanced radar. This radar provides extra information, such as the aircraft's identity and altitude, by reading transponder signals. Had it been there, the controller would’ve got an alert on his terminal as soon as planes breached the assigned altitude. The radar hardware was physically present in india. The bureaucracy and shameless corruption of Indian govt at that time, is majorly responsible for the death of these folks. After all, it is true, that had they been flying elsewhere in the world, they’d have been alive. They are only dead coz this happened over a corrupt country’s airspace

[@2002georgezacharia]

@@lemonflavorclorox7389 yes correct, actually bi directional air space was already approved but was stuck in red tapeism. Also secondary radar was approved but not installed... Agree wr had failed as a system.. of course most likely kzhakasthan aircraft pilot made mistake too. But we failed as a system. Having said that lesson learnt..we were one of the 1st to make TCAS mandatory for all indian civilian aircraft after this .. hopefully this never repeats

[@lemonflavorclorox7389]

@@2002georgezacharia I agree with you. Wasn’t expected of Khazak flight to descend that much too. Especially when it’s only and only one corridor for arrivals and departures. TCAS, was made mandatory first in USA in the year 1987. It was following a mid air collision in California in 1986. It was made mandatory via Public Law 100-223, also known as Airport and Airway Safety act

[@hinglajsankroth]

What about military ? It was bureaucratic delay

[@annabethchase2569]

@@hinglajsankrothThe military reserved so much airspace that there was only a small corridor by which planes had to both enter and leave. It's on all - the govt, the military and the airport authority to at least provide 2 routes, 1 for entry and 1 for exit, to the airport, especially at possibly the busiest airport in all of India at that time. It may have made sense in an active warzone, but Delhi hasn't been under that level of threat in a long time and any war with Pakistan would first happen at the border, not Delhi.

Great episode as always! I have some kind of suggestion - how about airplane 101 series? Personally, I'm well interested and deep in this matter, but I think a lot of the viewers do not know everything about this, which is actually very helpful for even better understanding of the videos. You explain some of the basics and mechanics in each episode, but a whole separate episode or series would be really mesmerizing - explaining how actually planes fly, flaps, ailerons, jet engines, runways, wing force, etc. - all details explained in 1/2/3 episodes. I think everyone would be eager to watch such videos.

I subscribe to other airplane disaster channels but hadn’t come across this one, nor had I heard of this tragic collision. As someone said, it seems very under reported.

Hi, I’ve just found your channel (as an aviation nerd) and I think you are doing a fantastic job IMO far better than mainstream ‘air disaster’ programmes. Firstly I will commend you on giving just the right amount of technical and meteorological information - stuff that I can understand anyway! Secondly your excellent use of graphics (both instrument boards and flight senarios), I really appreciate that you do not show gratuitous explosions in your reconstructions. This leads me to say that I think you come across as being very respectful to all the poor people who have lost their lives in air disasters (I lost a very good friend in a plane crash - Kathmandu - Pakistan Airlines Flight 268 in 1992) Your choice of background music is so fitting - many mainstream programmes use climax building, action movie music which I find disrespectful and distasteful. I appreciate the time count that you give for cockpit recordings - all of them are deeply distressing, but some are worse than others - I have certainly forwarded through a couple of them. Please keep up the good work that you do👍

So the 747 Involved was a 100 Series? Incredible it didn't suffer a centre wing fuel tank explosion like another 747 did only 1 month prior

Thank you

[@birgenair301]

Great video

[@jamesx4952]

Great video by disaster breakdown yet again

[@DisasterBreakdown]

Thanks!

[@5amH45lam]

While the chances of it happening near or above a busy airport are likely orders of magnitude higher than above a random spot above earth that features air flight, the chances of a mid-air collision must be miniscule.

Hey, DB (or anyone else with knowledge of aviation standards), 'unanimously unfavorable'...can you elaborate? As I understand it aviation uses imperial units because modern flight kind of started in the US. Are miles and feet more favorable units due to legacy or is there another intrinsic property of imperial units that makes them more 'proper' to use?

[@spongebubatz]

Imperial units are more of less used because of legacy and because it would be too complicated to switch, aviation is international so it’s no surprise that all countries are nowadays using imperial for aviation

[@peteconrad2077]

It helps to use different units for different things. So short distances in EASA are measured in m fir runway visual range and ft for altitude. Miles for distance but km fir visibility. These mixed units reduce confusion since the unit reinforces the quantity being talked about.

love the video!

[@asdf3568]

Weird I haven't heard of this crash before

[@PlutoPigeon]

When you asked me to try and put myself in that air traffic controllers shoes I know I never could but all I can really feel is my heart drop shock I feel like my first thoughts might be that it must be a glitch right maybe trying to call one before the full realization sinks in. But I've never been trained in this field so Idk if it seems like a realistic reaction

[@kasia7478]

why are there no subtitles in Polish?

[@Kat183]

Really good thank

[@FOG2006]

Geez! The kazakhstani flight was also numbered 1907! Being a brazillian, this flight number totally clickbaited me. This Ilyushin plane is pretty similar to the brazillian KC390, a military jet made by Embraer.

[@PrincessPattyPumpkin]

Love your videos! May I ask, are you of Indian decent? Just curious. 🙂

[@DisasterBreakdown]

Hi, thanks for the comment. I have no Indian heritage to answer your question :)

[@ranjeetsingh6034]

RIP,Great loss.Weather condition , communication factor responsible what I think so

[@leathergazelle2491]

hey, what if you cover some of the comet crashes that occurred around its service like BOAC 781 or SA flight 201.

[@longbeach7623]

Good video. But I would have liked to have seen the collision sequence and subsequent crashes more thoroughly detailed.

[@spongebubatz]

Something like that isn’t possible in the flight simulator

[@baderalsaleh2061]

Wait guys… why’s planes with 1907 have air collision incidents like gol flight 1907 which crashed from an air collision accident 😮

[@cantfindmykeys]

Requires five pilots. Definitely Barefoot Bandit-proof.
