China Airlines Flight 611's Mid Air Crack | Mayday: Air Disaster

[@christopherpardell4418]

I flew on this very plane, flight 611, 7 times. It was always the same flight crew for the morning leg from Taipei to Hong Kong. ( this 747 only flew the heavy traffic route between Taipei and HK, about 3 flights and 3 returns every day. The morning flight was always numbered 611.) I flew on this plane the morning before the accident. Arrived in HK, settled in my hotel, applied for my visa to the mainland, had a dinner with a client and when I woke the next morning, I saw the news that 611 had gone down. Those stewardesses who I knew by name and who knew me from my frequent trips, all dead. Had I booked one day later, I would have been with them.

I remember that! We actually flew on this plane to HK just half a year before the crash. It was the most uncomfortable flight ever, and some people were throwing up from dizziness, my sister was one of them, and we fly regularly without ever feeling sick.

I would've thought a better long term solution than a patch and then replacing patches everytime there's an inspection, would be to have disposable skid plates fitted as standard on the bottom tail section for all new planes, that when/if damaged can be easily replaced and form no part of the main fuselage.

[@ClarencegHamm]

I don't think the structure could handle the actual strike, tearing up the skin is like a scratch, a strike deforms structure

[@Sjb-on5xt]

@@ClarencegHamm The tail section is an obvious place where poor landings and take offs can lead to damage should be constructed to take more punishment. A skid plate should be like a armored crumple zone on a car that takes most the energy out of impacts before it can do damage to the interior and its occupants or parts. It doesn't mean that when the skid plate is damaged, that the fuselage isn't inspected for damage too.

Blows my mind that if a “tail strike” is common, why wouldn’t that portion have a steel or very thick aluminum skid plate? Not sure how realistic these panels were presented in this video but they appear really thin. Grinding cracks down would thin out the panels even more. The amount of pressures these have to endure it would seem like a no brainer not to repair panels that way. I am no engineer of course but 🤯. I shouldn’t have watched this video LoL. I’ll be trying to look at the tail area if I could. I’m still blown away though, this isn’t body working your weekend beater. wtf??

I saw this airplane at Hong Kong airport numerous times while it was flying around with the original temporary repair.

Probably the vacuum itself and the forces on their body no to mention impact with the surrounding metal and if not the then air being sucked out of their lungs with the force of a thousands vacuum cleaner hose collpasing the lungs, they's asphyxiate or loose consciousness from the pain or the low pressure.

Stop destroying this series by making fake thumbnail for click bait, history doesn't need that !!!

[@Maximilian1990]

What is wrong with the thumbnail

[@ybing]

@ it doesn’t happen like that, that’s what’s wrong? And they been doing this lately for all their repost, the accidents didn’t happen so dramatically

[@ddimov2557]

Is pressurizing and looking for air leaks standard method of inspection nowadays?

[@ultrajd]

This is the kind of maintenance misstep that I’d expect from China. Not Taiwan.

[@chinaheartforever4707]

I’d expect from US, that's why so many American made Boeing planes have accidents!!!Because Boeing employees cut corners!!

[@ultrajd]

@ actually the manufacturers are some of the most well trained. A lot of times it’s the maintenance personnel that cut the corners where they have to or can. Yes, even an aircraft can be designed with flaws. I don’t remember the exact number of the aircraft, but I remember there was one aircraft from I want to say Douglas that had this issue where the rear cargo door to get access to the baggage cargo area instead of opening up inward, it opened up outward. And thus, instead of being what is known as a “plug door“ it basically was just kind of an every day regular access door. And I believe on at least two separate occasions maybe more because of a flaw in the locking mechanism. The doors failed at altitude and unfortunately, on a couple of those flights there were some casualties. Although if I recall correctly, both aircraft were able to land. Now, granted you also have the latest slew of issues surrounding Boeing, where the escape doors on some of the windows are popping out, which of course is bad. However, to say that it’s purely, Boeing’s fault is just blatantly incorrect. Yes Boeing is not a great company. Especially in recent years, but they don’t deserve all of the blame.

@@chinaheartforever4707most incidents involving boeing planes are the result of pilot error or something unrelated to the design of the plane

[@ODKON93]

Well this proves Taiwan is indeed China's, even the airline's called China Airlines. You won't have an American airline called China something.

[@onlyonecai]

Air China has one of the best flying records

[@peterolsen269]

Greed is certainly one way to look at this repair. I've been in Aviation for forty years and I'll tell you that, yes, money is a big part of decisions made in the business, but also ignorance of the consequences plays a HUGE part. Many times the people making the decisions simply don't know what risks they are taking. I'm sure those that called for that repair are long gone from the company and probably think that their leadership was intelligent and well thought out. But clearly it was not; we here in the United States after learning the hard way will ALWAYS call Boeing anythime an Aft Bulkhead is damaged because we know the consequences. Boeing will actually send a team to your airport and repair the bulkhead on site. The United States has the best pilots and best technicians, the best sheet metal techs best avionics techs bar none. Yet we know that that big dome in the back call the rear bulk head must be repaired at the manufacturers level. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 and the Jal flight that fell out of the sky was repaired by Boeing techs and was bodged by... Yep Boeing techs so you are talking 💩💩💩

@ Armchair quarterback. You ever been out of mommy's watchful eye? Ever play with the big boys or are you relegated to the basement where mommy can keep her eye on the little monster.

[@liowyew]

Whatever happens to any commercial plane must be attached to the plane's records. All technicians must refer to past records before they make any repairs.

better maintenance

[@LouisBunnell]

agree

[@jsdc002]

From the looks of it, the original accent happened at the old Hong Kong airport which was an artificial peninsula in the heart of the city. Planes on approach flew inside the city for landing then taxied back to the terminal. Alternately the flights had to make a turn down the Hong Kong harbor channel. That ended for two reasons: 1) the tendency to overshoot and crash land on the runway or worse inside Hong Kong harbor. This happened at least once. The other reason: capacity. Hong Kong International Airport handles millions of travelers and tons of cargo each year. The old airport grew insufficient in the late 1990s. Today, the new HKIA is cleaner, modern, and 1000% safer.

[@k.kdowning3284]

China Airlines actually is the Taiwan air line,and it happened 23 years ago.

[@Giles20]

It's still Chinaaa!

Love the use of a rivet gun without a mandrill with the sounds of an air drill and faking drill torque 😅😅

[@COYOTE_N8]

6:36 yall really showing dead bodies floating in the water. Pretty intense! And another thing, missiles dont accidentally hit planes! Lol if a missile hits a aircraft then it was ment to hit that aircraft. Maybe it was accidentally identified as a enemy.

Scary to know how fragile the plane is

[@gecsus]

Typical for Chinese workers or management cutting corners & costs.. I've lived in China for the last 13 plus years, and as a Certified Quality Auditor of over 35 years, I can say there is all too much corner cutting in pretty much every work type. Especially in construction. Unskilled labor posing as skilled workers.

[@iwannaseesnow]

@@gecsus China Airlines is from Taiwan while Air China is from mainland china

[@gecsus]

@@iwannaseesnow OK

@ They are not equivalent. If you haven't lived there, you don't know anything.

[@stephenconnolly3018]

It was an American made plane. Boeing so I'm not going.

[@yamosuki]

the engineer probably though, "I knew I shouldn't have ordered it from Temu and got it from Alibaba instead"
