[@ZhangtheGreat]

For those who are unfamiliar with this case: it was basically discovered that the captain had berated the first officer so much that the FO was intimidated enough to the point where he didn't call out the altitude even as they were crashing. It's such a shame, because that first officer was one of the most dedicated in the business: not only did he consistently declare that being a pilot was his dream job, but he actually made his own navigational charts of every airport in the region and familiarized himself with all of their ins and outs (well above and beyond what's expected of a pilot).

It contributed to the crash in a big way, by making his co-pilot so demoralised or afraid of him by the end of the flight that he stopped asking for an explanation of the unusual approach manoeuvre the captain was attempting, so he didn't know what altitude they were supposed to be at, and he also didn't do the required instrument call-outs during descent. It's likely that the crash would have been averted otherwise.

While he was an intimidating and provocative man, he had a reputation for following company procedures and being meticulous with flight checklists. The concluding statement from the NTSB report (NTSB/AAR-94/05) provided the following probable cause for the crash of Northwest Airlink Flight 5719: "The captain's actions led to a breakdown in crew coordination and the loss of altitude awareness by the flight crew during an unstabilized approach in night instrument meteorological conditions. Contributing to the accident were: the failure of the company management to adequately address the previously identified deficiencies in airmanship and crew resource management of the captain; the failure of the company to identify and correct a widespread, unapproved practice during instrument approach procedures; and the Federal Aviation Administration's inadequate surveillance and oversight of the air carrier."

Does anyone else find it weird that the narrator for this whole videos the narrator for 1000 Ways to Die that's so cool in a specific way

[@robotplays346]

captain was wasting away in a commuter job just getting angrier and angrier, lashing out at his colleagues, and finally paid the ultimate price for his rage. he owes all his victims and their families a huge debt. my guess is this guys dad never hugged him. people like this really should be prevented from flying or being responsible for people's lives in general. this person needed a sabbatical and some counseling. if you ever encounter a person like this in real life, and they are responsible for anything big, do the right thing and report them. express your concerns, make sure they are documented, because it could save someone's life. take these people off duty and get them some help. If whatever pilot who initially discovered he was making extreme maneuvers to make passengers afraid to get back at the airline....had made a bigger deal about it, maybe all these people would still be alive today. That would have been the point where, as a colleague, i would have gone to corporate and said straight up "this guy isn't safe to fly, i wont' fly with him, you need to take him off duty, now. this is serious." of course hindsight is 20 20. more likely is that this guy could probably turn on the charm for his superiors so no one really knew how unstable/weird he was. as many have said, this crash was written on the wall for years prior. an ultimate failure in management and human resources. never ever let an arrogant angry person into a cockpit.

He was "intolerant of mistakes," yet failed so many proficiency exams? What a hypocrite

[@EVERYTHING_OUTDOORS814]

Hes the true story behind the Final Destination movies

[@FederationStarShip]

Still allowed to fly after physical assault? The people responsible for that are partly to blame as well.

[@indiana350-ayan-6]

Did this pilot crashed flight 5179 out of anger??!! Well i dont know... You are supposed to tell me that ......

[@JasonShipley1979]

Somebody that’s a failure doesn’t need to be flying or to be a captain for that matter

[@brodyszone157]

If he had this rage on the plane can u imagine riding with him in a car.

[@paultwiss199]

The sad thing about almost all air crashes is that they correct things after the fact, whether it be a fault in the aircraft hardware, a fault in the aircraft software or a human fault.

Hopefully, there won't be other pilots like him.

Hey, David Wallace is now an Air Crash Investigator? What happened to Dundee Miflin after last Season.. did Dwight really burn it to the ground?

[@blair7001]

Wow...yes he was a good flying pilot but what really makes you good is how you act to to others.

[@naiyuu1623]

Not even Albert Einstein could figure out why this guy was allowed to fly.

[@ReservoirGooses]

Toby Flenderson has snapped

[@joshjay4132]

For anyone womdering, NO, his anger DID NOT caused the crash. The aircraft, at JetStream, was not equipped with GPWS. When descending, they were too low, causing them to crash into trees.

[@compulsiverambler1352]

The first officer was terrified of him by the end of the flight, and so was too scared to ask about what kind of non-standard landing they were doing (a "slam dunk"), and didn't do any altitude call-outs. So his anger did cause it even though having a GPWS would probably have prevented it.
