What caused the plane to go up? Could the pilots have done anything to prevent this disaster?You can find all spooky 👻 content here: kzbin.info/aero/PLel46YMQX0eHNwHCuBaPQuwwW6iR3hN_1

Skipping steps is one thing but the verifying step is mind blowing.

[@Herowebcomics]

Wow! This crash was messed up! When you fix something,fix it right!

[@sonjastarr1364]

This was extremely interesting. Thank you so much for bringing this story to light.

[@HellcatMad]

What 2 beautiful young ladies they were. I couldn't help but cry for the Shepherds. 💔😪

[@annacmoreno1]

I was on a small plane once, that was over weight at the back due to baggage. The pilot had a larger passenger move up to the front to counter balance!!

[@DNTMEE]

Seems like the best way to go is to weigh the entire plane after it is fully loaded. A few strain gauges where the aircraft is parked is all that would be needed. They could also figure the real center of gravity for the plane. No need to estimate or weigh every passenger and the baggage.

[@Scottallen8909]

Good point 👍🏼 I was wondering why they don’t install the weighing scales where the plane drive across before going to the runway , I would imagine that would give them a very accurate measurement of the planes weight in a matter of seconds.

[@angelareitz5122]

here on your page, because mark garrison of wbt radio stated how good this documentary was today on his 6:00 p.m. newscast!

[@arnenelson4495]

Excellent video! Just subbed.

[@tonyc7301]

Ridiculous that the airline used an average weight chart that was almost 70 years old (Have you seen the average American lately?). Even worse that the lazy maintenance manager skipped steps in the process, had a trainee do the work and signed off on his decision to skip steps and his own shoddy work. Poor captain Leslie and FO Gibbs had no chance at all.

[@ClearedAsFiled]

Mechanics AND the airline should be held ACCOUNTABLE for such deadly mistakes....but not in the USA

[@ronniedelahoussayechauvin6717]

This is so HORRIFFIC, I personally never heard anything about this. Was it on the news?

[@joeygibson9955]

Yes it was. I live locally and remember it well.

[@csn6234]

No. You heard about it first, right here! SMGDH.

[@chrisdidonna7386]

47:06 couldn't even get their apologie right without having an accident.

[@alinadobro]

Thanks 🙏

[@joefillicetti1165]

"Yeah don't worry about those"😮😮😮 Let's train people and not supervise clearly what they're doing. Unreal

[@steph.a.7517]

Greer and Gsp airport is in SC not NC about a 2 hr drive from Charlotte and maybe a 40 min max flight.

[@sandrap7635]

While watching this sad story I heard about a plane crashing into a hotel is it possible for you to cover that story if you haven't already?

[@foxtrot312]

Plane is a turboprop Yet sound affect is of reciprocating engines?

[@crystaldawn9255]

Skipping steps is not an inverted act that's deliberate

[@seanberthiaume6909]

Never knew there's a Huntington VA and a Huntington WV...?

[@maxxmich]

looks like she also had a steep Angle to take off with...

[@krakenwoodfloorservicemcma5975]

Total pilot error.

[@the.mystery]

I'm sure the forced apology was very sincere and genuine... or more like phoney-baloney...

[@anonymousfarawayland3890]

I want to know why there are no charges were filed., when it involves airplane Clearly, it was negligence. If you were driving and get into an accident, and they found that I was speeding or under the influence, I can be charged.

[@adotintheshark4848]

What operators of smaller planes need to do is weigh each passenger along with their baggage, before boarding. Put both passenger and bags on a scale at check-in. That way the pilots will know exactly how much weight they are carrying. Also, most crashes of the Beechcraft 1900 involved planes that were full.

[@RenaissanceRedneck]

Yup, and then balance based on actual passenger weights. Some airlines do it. I'm a big fella, and frequently fly on regional planes. I've been asked to move fore or aft a number of times, as well as side to side.

[@krakenwoodfloorservicemcma5975]

Charlotte is such an amazing city. Totally southern badass.

[@donnarinaldi3002]

What an irrelevant comment for such a horrible incident

[@angelareitz5122]

Charlotte used to be a great place to live--- in 2003 (at the time of the crash) she was still in her sweet spot. Unfortunately, i'm looking to move now-- this city is now ghetto, dangerous, with horrible schools, and corrupt, inept local government. And, lest i forget... beggars on every street corner and in every parking lot.

[@michaelpcooksey5096]

I wonder if stunt pilot or military pilot training would have helped this tragic situation. ? Say loop the plane [too close to ground?] ... or in dive push to ground to increase control [too close to ground?] I see no reason for using 'average weight' on anything in the air. What is the issue resisting its implementation? Why can it not be made a mandatory practice, along with scale validity checks?

[@kellyzeewolf4613]

How many times can this video be renamed............... I'm sick of seeing it and a handful of others in my recommendations.

[@SKF358]

Planes are a bad idea.
