The Captain of this DC10 had to make a split second decision. He was in the process of lifting his massive 200 ton jet into the air, when something wasn’t quite right. 42 years later, we are going to learn about this exact moment in 1982. Looking at the decision that was made, the events that led up to it and analyzing what investigators had to say about what went down at that critical time. So, let's look at this together. Let's discuss Spantax Flight 995.

A suggestion to follow the "leave your stuff behind" warning: keep your wallet/documents physically ON you or in a very small clutch/shoulder/lanyard bag that you keep on you or in the seat pocket in front of you. This small item will not get in the way of others and it will be ready to go with you, already separate from your luggage. When I flew last month I had my cards, ticket, and a little cash in a card-sized zip pouch on a lanyard around my neck and my phone was in my pocket (when I wasn't using it.) If I had to get off that plane in seconds, I was already wearing my important things.

[@giggiddy]

People are becoming very aware of the narcissistic behavior of fellow passengers. Especially during an emergency evacuation where these people are trying to collect their property jeopardizing the rest of the passengers. To that end, I would caution anyone against doing that as they may find that they survived the accident but fared much worse after the other passengers got their hands on them. I, for one, will not hesitate to clear the exit route of anyone purposely impeding said exit.

[@giggiddy]

Was the one doing the "we have a problem" narrative a passenger? Was it just a coincidence that he happened to have a recorder and decided to narrate the soon to be tragic take- off? Did he survive?

[@ZombieSazza]

100%, for me I have to take a lot of medications due to health issues and disabilities (collecting them like Pokemon), so I ALWAYS have my meds bag (it’s a Harry Potter Hedwig makeup bag, but CRAMMED with pills) on me, I keep it in the little drawstring backpack I have (it’s a small bag that sits on your back, the type you’d use to go to a swimming pool) which I wear at all times so it’s always on my person, the only other items I’d bother with is my wallet which has all my IDs and bank card, and my phone, both these sit in my jacket pockets. Everything else is out of the way but the most important items are on my person, ain’t no way I’d be caught dead holding folk up trying to literally survive by taking my time getting personal belongings. Like if the item you need is very important that you NEED it then plan accordingly beforehand, make sure it is on your person so you can get out your seat and move quickly when the air hostess tells you to evacuate! Most of us will never need to evacuate, but it doesn’t hurt to plan accordingly and make sure you aren’t hindering someone else’s survival!

I remeber Spantax not having the best reputation here in Germany when I was a kid in the late 80s/early 90s. One year (must've been in 1992 or 1994), my parents and me once again spent our summer vacation in the Canary Islands, and our return flight was with Spanair. Nobody had really heard of the airline, so some people were joking "Spanair is a subsidiary of Spantax - only every other plane makes it home!" I got quite some odd looks when I ( aged 9 or 11, I don't exactly remember which year it was) remarked "Well lucky us, the first one just took off for Hamburg..."

[@Canleaf08]

Funny to note the nick name of Spantax: "Finkenwerder Airlines". In 1967, they wanted to land a Convair C990 in Hamburg-Fuhlsbuttel, but landed at the HFB aircraft manufacture in Finkenwerder (present day Airbus). A giant mishap and a major PR disaster. The plane landed safely, but could not take off again. So the entire plane's interior, seatings and carpet had to be taken out to take off again.To add insult to injury: The CEO of Spantax was in the cockpit at the controls.

[@skayt35]

Spantax had multiple crashes with loss of life. One good thing about Spantax is that it no longer exists.

[@SentralGamer765]

Your Lucky your airline Spanair did not forget to put on flaps before taking off

[@MarkusLoffelsend]

I flew with SPANTAX several times in the 70s and early 80s... my father gave them the name of 'They-never-come-back-airline'.

[@alfredwilson4224]

my friend served for Spanair and she flew her friends coffins home on her air bus after their accident and they did forget their flaps

[@JmaK17]

I swear the overhead bins should have a locking mechanism activated for take off and landing. Preventing them from being opened from engine start until the seatbelt sign comes off on climb/cruise, then locking them again after the crew finishes securing the cabin for landing.

[@WaddupItsYaBoi]

If they're able to dedicate a separate location to the baby flotation devices (and other emergency equipment stored there) then that would be a great idea. Though I imagine the wiring and mechanisms required could be prohibitively heavy to allow for this realistically (based on budgets that is).

Why did the vibration get worse after the nose wheels lifted?

[@peterscheer445]

@@tomellingham8627 I am only guessing but with pieces that broke off; this tire was very out of balance and was dampened somewhat by the shock absorbers pushing the tire against the ground before liftoff .

That Ikea Blåhaj reference was hilarious in how completely unexpected and understated it was. But about your videos! Thank you for taking the time to make these and do what you do - your way of approaching these events is diligent, pragmatic, and empathetic, and as a writer but also a member of your audience, it's obvious that you put great effort into the framework of your storytelling. As someone nonbinary and transmasculine, it's also been surprisingly stirring to hear these stories spoken aloud by someone with a calm, even, easy-to-listen-to voice and genuinely beautiful cadence who I know shares a similar-but-opposite gender identity. I've struggled A Lot with my relationship with my voice and it's been unexpectedly meaningful to randomly happen upon your channel in my... ravenous search... for more aviation related youtube videos (okay, so maybe I didn't "randomly" happen upon you then, lmfao). Anyway, thank you again for these videos, Chloe! When I'm in a place where I'm back on my feet I'll certainly be taking a look at your Patreon.

I think that people just aren't thinking straight in an emergency.

[@almathetiredone9167]

@@chrissywales6575yeah that’s what I was wondering. I’ve heard that some people go into a sort of shock and aren’t thinking, they just don’t realize how bad of a situation they’re in. They go into their own form of ‘autopilot’. It is DEFINITELY not always the case, and no matter the reason it doesn’t make it okay. Edit. One thing I thought about that happens a lot of time is people have very important medications that are hard to replace that they have to take every day or they are at very big risk of death or other harm. So I can see why those people would be very panicked to get their carry on luggage. Again obviously this isn’t all the time but I think trying to understand why these things happen helps to plan for it better rather than throwing everyone in the “well people are just stupid” lot.

[@johannageisel5390]

I think it's similar to people's reaction to climate change: They think "It's not that bad." and "It's not affecting me right now." and "I have other problems [like my passport]..." and when they realize they have completely miscalculated the risks and consequences of their actions, it's already too late and many lives have been lost.

Good to see you back, Chloe! I'm amazed at the quality of your videos, it's nothing short of professional documentaries (and yours are way more accurate than 95% of what netflix spits out these days).

This is so sad-excellent video and well done. I lost three dear friends and fellow USAF airmen on Northwest Flight 255 on August 16, 1987, which crashed on takeoff under and near Interstate 94 also due to pilot error when they attempted to take off without the flaps set. I have attended the annual memorial service at the crash site three times, and videos are on my page. There is also a song that a first responder wrote. The crash is the deadliest, with a sole survivor, and became the second-worst U.S. crash at the time.

[@flyingfeline7110]

So good to see this disaster covered with your usual thorough analysis. Very sad that while crew were dying while trying to get people out, passengers were dying because they were trying to retrieve their hand luggage. Spantax, Spanair, Aviaco, Hispania...all names from my teen plane-spotting days. I remember one family holiday in 1984 My Dad and I were due to fly from MAN to PMI on Air Europe's brand new Boeing 757 - unfortunately it had a serious technical problem, and so, 12 hours later, a Spantax DC-8 was sent out to Manchester to collect us. My spotter disappointment on missing out on the 757 turned to delirious excitement when my dad and I saw that big old Spantax DC-8 rumbling towards the gate!

[@chrisnizer5702]

My first flight was onboard a United Airlines DC-8 Super 60 Series Stretch in "Friend-Ship" livery. Nonstop from Friendship Airport (now BWI) to San Francisco. The second the flight crew opened the throttles on those JT3-D's I was fascinated with jet aircraft in general and DC-8's in particular.

Hi Chloe 🙋, many thanks for another great production! It made my day. My homebase is Cologne and I remember an accident when I was 5 at Cologne airport. A Spantax flight from Mallorca made a gear up landing. The accident report blamed the crew for simply not lowering the gear in absence of any checklist read out. The forgot it. The airline had a bad reputation in Germany, and was offering cheap flights. Greetings from CGN Germany, Marco

[@5amH45lam]

The frustrating thing is, it probably wasn't those passengers retrieving hand luggage, slowing the evacuation, that perished. I hope then, that those who survived - with their 'precious' carry-on items intact - fully comprehend the result of their actions.

[@trinity72gp]

In their favour they, in the 80s, acted in relative ignorance. The fact that ppl still do it today during evac is exasperating 😑

[@alfredwilson4224]

@@trinity72gpamen.

[@Jens-Viper-Nobel]

@@trinity72gp I have to disagree with that. I flew back and forth from home to my navy station from 79, and already then, we were ALWAYS told to bloody leave our luggage behind if we had to evacuate as it would (and that information was very clearly stressed already then) cause a delay in evacuation that could very possibly cost lives. And what is never mentioned even to this date is that the crew of the plane will in that case be among those getting killed because they have to stay on for as long as possible to ensure that all passengers are evacuated. So when people value their belongings so much that they are willing to spend time trying to retrieve it, consider that you not only risk blocking other people from escaping with their lives. You are almost ensuring the death of at least some of the crew who is supposed to get you out of there alive. And all because you value your belongings higher than the lives of other people. And I don't care if you have all your valuables in the luggage or medicine or the lab top with your whole written assignment for your university final exam. It is NOT worth a single life of somebody else. You can always replace lost things, or in the case of a lost exams assignment apply for a later examination due to your original assignment being destroyed in the accident. There is not a single university in the world that would deny you that option in the circumstances. To be quite frank about it, I consider each and every person in the world who will try to retrieve luggage in a disaster to be a coldblooded premaditated murderer. Because they cannot claim that it is a panic reaction they can't control. The fact that they will even consider retrieving the luggage because they value it highly shows clearly that they are NOT in a state of panic. Which means that they are litterally and premaditated ready to see other people die if it can help them save dead things rather than just have them replaced.

[@trinity72gp]

@@Jens-Viper-Nobel Fair point. I'm not condoning the behaviour, just highlighting the fact that ppl today, modern times, are More informed than back then. Incidents and accidents since the 80s prove what cabin crew have been saying all along. Sad state of affairs in ANY situation that ppl would risk their life, and those of others, over possessions that can be replaced - when a life cannot 😑

Very well done as always. One day you have to cover the max 8 crashes on lion air and Ethiopian. Because the pilots weren’t aware of the mcas feature, it opened up an investigation into Boeing, come to find out they left out mcas in the training manuals.

Something tells me I might be getting to that soon

[@Thatguyjack758]

@@DisasterBreakdown awesome.

So good of you to visit this accident place so recently

[@jonchowe]

Amazing video. What a fantastic piece of research to get that recording up. That's truly a one of a kind recording from the time!

People who evacuate with luggage should go to prison.

I shouldn't be surprised, but I didn't know retreaded tires were a thing in aviation. They were the bane of my grandfather and father's existence when they were still alive and hauling cargo in their trucks. (Papaw was mostly local, my dad was long-haul.) They were banned from use on drive wheels, but still having them on the back or the trailer didn't stop them from ripping apart on the highway. Or exploding next to people just rocking out to music in their car while they drove back from seeing urgent care...

To me, the whole chain of events seemed so obvious. I strongly suspect that he knew that the vibration was coming from the nosewheel and would cease at VR. However, what he did NOT realise was that the moment the nose lifted, the tyre would have been spinning at high speed an not having the ground to absorb 50% of the vibration, in the aircraft it would increase, then slowly decrease as the wheel slowed down. When things did not happen as expected, the increase in vibration led him to think that he had imbalance in one of the engine rotors or fans and continuing to climb would have caused it to break up. Unfortunately, he did not stop and think at the most critical time. His mind switched to the problems that he would have had, climbing, going around, then landing overweight. A fatal mistake, that took less then 5 seconds to make.

[@Woodman-Spare-that-tree]

@@wilsjane. Thank you. I know nothing about planes, but your explanation about why getting the wheels off the ground doesn’t actually solve the problem, sounds like the truth of what happened.

[@joshuaboulee8190]

Thank you for the work you put into this! I imagine this was harder than some others just because it hasnt been covered to death already. I'm glad you're feeling better.

[@micahmitchell2330]

It makes me happy you are able to visit these places. Enjoy your travels and thanks for the great content!

[@CAROLUSPRIMA]

Greeting from Eastern Kentucky. I’ve seen several episodes from various sources regarding this crash. This video being over thirty minutes long, I’d have probably skipped this - had it been from almost any other aviation channel. In fact I almost didn’t watch this. That would have been a mistake. This channel always seems to provide a fresh perspective, regardless of how much the viewer already knows about the crash. That’s certainly true in this instance.

[@xxEzraBxxx]

Central Kentucky here! Good to see other fans from my state.

[@CAROLUSPRIMA]

@@xxEzraBxxx Sure enough. My pleasure indeed.

[@TheoriginalKnevel]

OH yes a new video leeets gooooo!

Hope you like it!

[@CoolBreezeWyndi]

Hey, I just found your channel with this video and I absolutely love the way that you did it. I'm glad to hear that you're recovering from your surgery...... I've had a few accidents recently that meant a few surgeries and it was rough. I subscribed to your channel because I'm an AV fan and I love the way that you did this one.

So glad you are feeling better. You sounded right on point. Thanks for the video.

[@agnieszkakowalska9658]

You sounded absolutely on point! As always, a thoughtful analysis. It's a pleasure to follow your videos, Chloe.

[@aviationking8588]

I’ve always wondered what happened to this airplane and the crash thank you for showing this video Chloe!

[@tintin9573]

Wow! Always an improvement with each video that is uploaded! I am surprised how underrated this channel is!

[@DisasterBreakdown]

Thank you for the kind words :)

[@weaviejeebies]

Chloe, you're so thorough in every video, and your production skills are amazing. You always present such a balanced analysis, too. I've learned so much from you in the short time I've been subscribed. Thanks for making KZbin still a viable platform for me.

[@maratusa]

You sounded perfect, as ever! We have all been keeping you top of mind while you recover. Love from Mississippi, USA! Fantastic video, by the way!

[@Completeaerogeek]

I love your take on these documentaries. I am a professional (postgraduate qualified) airline safety investigator and I usually end up picking these kinds of videos to bits but yours are very well done.

[@pooryorick831]

Another terrific video. These are the best aviation documentaries on KZbin. Thanks for all the work you do. It's obvious you put a tremendous amount of effort into this. It shows. 👍🏻☮️✌️

Great to see you back! I’ve never heard of this accident, but you did an excellent job of covering it. I love how you incorporated news broadcasts, personal footage, and recordings into this video! Keep it up! i want a blåhaj

OMG..i wish id known you were at AGP!! Its my local airport and i like to go to plaza major purely to be in the flight path! Going to IKEA monday 😊 I haven't seen this accident covered so thank you Chloe ❤ Good to hear all went well and recovery was good 👍😊

[@rachmunshine9474]

I was happy when I saw 30 minutes versus like 12 from some of the older ones and then when I saw two hours ago, I believe it said, I was like this is the new one that she’s been talking about! Thanks, Chloe for all the work you’ve put in!

Another awesome video. Thank you so much for all your time and effort. I'm living these. How you only have 214k subs right now blows my mind.

[@Springbok295]

I remember when this happened. At that time I was in 9th grade. I had never heard of Spantax. The accident reminds me of the Continental DC-10 lost at LAX. It was packed and blew a tire. Then in the Summer of 1980, a National/Pan Am DC-10-30 (Clipper 99) was rolling down Runway 28R at LHR to MIA when it blew a tire. The plane was able to stop on the runway and successfully evac the pax and crew.

[@russelldunn2999]

I've really liked your thorough and detailed accountings of these accidents, and it's also explained in "layman's terms." I especially appreciate your acknowledgement of the 3 flight attendants that perished, and the efforts involving the flight manifest recovery service that has honored them. Minor petty complaint: I think the 5-second anecdote of the Ikea side trip could have been omitted, as it distracted from the otherwise appropriately somber account of the chaotic evacuation following the crash. Again, very minor, and I otherwise think your series of these videos is commendable and noble!

[@andyhill242]

Glad to hear that the surgery went well and that you are recovering well; particularly glad to hear that you are happy with the results. FYI, if you hadn't said that your voice sounded different, I don't think I would have noticed.

[@HannahHudson787dl]

Thank you for a fantastic video….. I hope your ok, your really brave for doing this while poorly I really hope you will be ok xx

[@FEAR.LESS.]

Brilliant journalism. Brilliant aviation knowledge. It doesn't get better than this. Sad subject but absolutely spot on with the facts and the reportage. No crash, no matter how old is still as important today as it was when an aircraft and souls aboard is lost. Thank you.
