Hello from Japan. I have been watching your videos for years and really enjoyed them because, despite the tragedies there is always something to learn from them, including from the comments. Also whether you narrate or use subtitles. One of the things that always sets you apart from other channels is ‘In memory of…’ , please include this again at the end of your videos, as it’s very respectful for those who died. 😢 Thank you.

[@ILoveLucy21.]

[@concreteandwall]

I much prefer without voice. I hear your cuts, which is jarring. And to be honest I’m struggling to keep up with all the data you’re saying in that accent you have. Most of all, the entire mood of the video is dramatically changed; the text-only made me feel a part of the story, as if I was sitting in the cockpit, frighteningly. But with the voice, now it’s just you telling a story, which isnt as interesting to my imagination. Bravo for this though, because you didnt use an AI voice. Edit: i wanted to add too, that the text-only videos, especially when coupled with the great music choices, had a sense of reverence for those who lost their lives, a sort of gravitas for the industry and its lessons learned.

If you read the official report the handling pilot made a phone call at 2am so his rest was disturbed.

[@rickrickard2788]

Me thinks the REAL cause of all this is totally clear- The reaction by the Investigators to the FAA's idiocy about, "Polished Frost" in the manual. Who the hell includes something of that nature, that can so easily be misinterpreted leaving pilots feeling safe in their decision to NOT De-Ice? By 2002, we KNEW the dangers of ice VERY WELL. The one thing we didn't get, was the Co-pilots experience. However, he is 58, and the pilot himself, having much experience on this craft, gave him the go-ahead, so he must be well qualified as well. So who the hell doesn't de-ice when this experienced? Pilots who've not faced severe icing to the degree, the FAA RECOMMENDED WAS A-OK, in their flight manual. That's who. I mean, it's the FAA! They must be right, right? Obviously not. IMO, Blame should have been placed FULLY at the feet of the FAA- NOT at the feet of "cold medicine" which, btw? Was in miniscule amounts, couple this with the simple fact that they got MORE rest that required, and that goes out the window, in my, COMMON SENSE, book. I couldn't, for the life of me, understand why such experienced pilots would choose NOT to de-ice in those conditions, when all else were- and so many witnesses saw the ice as well.... Until I saw that report at the end, and the FAA had them EXPUNGE ALL REFERENCES from their manuals. Yeah, that's called a "COVER-UP"- IMO? This accident should be RE-INVESTIGATED, and the blame placed squarely where it belongs, ON THE FAA. That Auxiliary unit? May have added the "back-up" sense of security the pilots felt, in making their decision, but the FAA's own "go-ahead"? THAT, I believe, was the fatal hole in the "Swiss Cheese", that caused this sad loss of human life.

[@DrumsByDennis]

Good analysis!

[@Deadlydonkey-z3f]

It is not the role of the investigation to apportion blame. That is one of the fundamental principles of air accident investigation. They determine the likely cause and make safety recommendations. Any apportion of blame is a legal process for the courts. The very first safety recommendation in the formal report is that the FAA delete all reference to polished frost within their regulations and expunge all reference from operation manuals. There is no blame apportioned to the crew in the report. I fail to see any coverup. It’s as damning of the FAA as it can be within the permitted bounds of the investigation. Note - the report is by the UK AAIB so they have no interest in protecting the FAA. The co-pilot was also employed at a captain but was not designated as PIC for this flight. He was more experienced than the PIC with 20,000 hours and 800 on type. You clearly haven’t read the report, I would suggest reading the full report before claiming a cover up.

[@rickrickard2788]

@@Deadlydonkey-z3f What are you babbling about? First, I spoke, clearly, in MY OPINION. Second, NOWHERE did I say the FAA would be, "Placing blame". Only that an independent investigation, which would obviously NOT be the FAA investigating themselves, but an outside agency, and that, if this were done, IMO = "In My Opinion", the blame would be placed where it belongs... AGAIN, IN MY OPINION. But you also speak as if the FAA's finding carry no weight. Entire careers have been destroyed because of them. Companies as well. They are NOT there to "just make suggestions. Btw? Why would I go "read the entire report"? I watched a video, gave MY opinion on what I saw- And what I saw? Looks suspiciously like a cover-up, to me. Cold medication after HOURS of sleep?

@@senilyDeluxe This was so good i was, myself, glued to it.

[@MikeGervasi]

NO! We've gone through this before. There is no "narration" on TFC videos. They tried it 2 years ago and it was horrible so they went back to the tried and true method. DOn't mess with the formula!

[@Buwuzhengye]

No narration please! We prefer subtitles with music which is already more than enough. And we can know about some aviation terms. Now it's so noisy!!

[@Heike--]

Go read a book then.

[@ernestkovach3305]

Please no talk. Your voice is not condusive to narration.Go back to showing and let the recipient read what happened .

[@DutchSheep80]

Sorry but I dropped out after a minute. English is not my native language so I have to concentrate too much on what is being said. Also I often watch without sound. If this is permanent I will say goodbye to this channel.

[@YouGotPropofol]

Thanks for showing exactly how it ended before the video starts.

[@enigmawyoming5201]

I would have never been a subscriber to TFC if the first few videos I saw were like this. This narration is annoying.

[@blrenx]

It's 2024 , Icing has been huge problem since the Wright Brothers. common sense tells you that this problem should have been solved 80 years ago. This is a problem that affects most aircraft.. To my mind the solution lies with the design of the wings and the dicing. Any type of water, oil, will freeze. even grease . Just ask the Germans about what happen to all their armies on the doorstep of Moscow. The extreme cold froze fuel, lubricants, grease. The extreme cold also caused metal to swell to a point they couldn't load there weapons. Don't take me wrong, Dicing does work to a point. But putting a hot liquid on a iced surfess makes it build up twice as fast.

[@davidp2888]

No narration, please.

[@Toeken42]

I for one am proud to see the growth that your channel has, keep going. ALL of your content is fabulous and respectful. Thank you thank you, for everything and how much your content brings to KZbin and to us, as viewers! Thank you.

[@RogerAlan]

The voiceover makes this officially the best air crash channel on KZbin

[@steveloafe]

wrong

[@rosiegroovy]

You rock, The Flight Channel! Pay no attention to the negative comments. You do you.

[@Highheels4ever]

I prefer the OLD TRAVEL CHANNEL not this one where there is narration. The “old system” makes it more interesting and special where you feel like if you were inside the airplane. But this new version of narration, is for the bird. Why the former people have to sold this channel??? Why??? 🙄👎🏻👎🏻

[@stanpatterson5033]

Lotsa folks here complaining about the voice-over narration, saying that they preferred the old way of using text on-screen. Well, I`m gonna go against the flow here, and say that you did a nice job, so don`t let their negativity dissuade you. Yes, the text is fine, but if you want to narrate sometimes, go for it !

[@HanafiXW]

Amazing CONTENT!!! welcome back!

[@vinly8734]

I am not keen on the narration. I like the option of pausing and reading or rewinding and re-reading. The narration makes it feel rushed. And there is something quite respectful about slowing down and telling the story via text along with the somberish music that pays more respect to the people that were involved.

[@johnnydao8056]

Is this new or re-upload

[@Randomly_Browsing]

New fortunately

[@Bryan_Master_Blaster]

Knock off the voice narration. Distracting.

[@WALTERBROADDUS]

You are complaining really about nothing.

[@eagleone5456]

If it's distracting, maybe turn volume off and turn on Closed Captioning. Woaaahhhh.. crazy right?!

[@Heike--]

Click the mute button. Deal with it.

[@NeonVisual]

You're correct. If the next video has the same boring narration Ima unsub.

[@Heike--]

@@NeonVisual Sorry to lose you! Bye!

[@billp4]

They should charge the passengers extra for the Six Flags experience.

[@JDG81-r3b]

Keep the narration so i can listen while I'm working! Love this format. I also appreciate the work you into making your videos more informative by narrating.

[@kimifur]

I like the voiceover, personally. However, I do understand that the no narration style is what your channel is known for, so I can see why others may want to have that back. I wouldn't take that as anything against your voice, or style of narration, or anything like that, really. I love your content regardless.

[@GhostWatcher2024]

So wait.... MULTIPLE people saw ice on the wings but NOBODY reported this to the tower so ATC could, idk, refuse to allow the plane to taxi until it has been de-iced?

[@TheMark2newell]

I hate the narration on this channel but WHATEVA 🤔🤔😡😡😝😝

[@mawj09eas4]

Honestly, your narrated videos are better since they’re more detailed. I know that everybody is saying the subtitles are better, and I do kind of agree with you all. But lately there’s been a decrease in quality, and it’s just good to have part of that back. On the other hand, you still seem to butcher some pronunciations.

[@evelyn-q7u]

NO! no voice over! I will NOT watch.

[@AviationLoverIndonesia]

To anyone who have said previously that TFC should do a voice narration, well then congrats, ur dream come true, and now ur making everyone else feel "annoyed" which they don't like voice narration at all 🗿🗿 Anyways, great video, TFC 😎👍

[@beaucailloudu21]

Guys, when he talk, he don’t use what he write (for the video) but a website, and he write is nowhere, it’s disgusting

[@gryphon10]

I didn't finish this video because of the annoying narration and I'm not going to watch anymore until you get rid of it.

[@htos1av]

Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

[@dakinglip]

The amount of people complaining about the videos on here is wild. Y'all wouldn't put in even a fraction of the work done but endlessly complain. Would love to see yall do better

[@gusm5128]

Get the narration the heck out of

[@SuperZytoon]

12 seconds. Horrible.
