I know you keep getting suggestions, but an incident similar to the one you did on the 727 disappearance, Varig flight 967, would be a very interesting one.

[@strikermodeling4201]

The occupants of SkyWest flight 1834 are as follows: Captain Michael David Gambill, 37 First Officer Walter F. Ray Jr., 33 Tom Rouse Stephen Copans Chuck Montgomery LaVerne June Tiger, 52 Nekoma J. Rangel, aged only 6 Jimmy C. Landreaux, aged only 5 And the two occupants of the Mooney: Pilot Chester Baker Instructor Paul Penrose Lietz, 54 Rest In Peace.

[@AHOOSIER]

You left out, the mid-air collision of Allegheny Airlines flight 853 with a PA-28 Piper Cherokee, on September 9th, 1969, which was well before any of the three U.S. mid-air collisions you noted. The accident involving Flight 853, killed 83 people and should have been a wake up call to the FAA, but sadly it took three more deadly mid-air collisions in the U.S., before anything was done. Perhaps you could do a program on Allegheny Airlines flight 853?

[@DisasterBreakdown]

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out!

[@earnedmystripes2382]

I live 1 county away from the crash site. Indiana's worst air disaster.

To think that over 200 people had to die from 3 major midair collisions (PSA 182, Allegheny 853, Aeromexico 498).

[@ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Wasn't at least the start of better traffic separation protocols (if nothing else)?

[@JeanSchermerhorn]

I had a close call so similar to the Sky West 1834 story. As Capt. on the Wings West Metroliner domiciled at San Francisco, my last flight that night was from Redding to SFO. On climb out in a right turn I saw a Mooney on my left. He was tracking the ILS on practice approach but on a collision course so close I had to pull up and hard right to evade a midair. We passed over the Mooney at less than 200 feet. A lengthy explanation was need to calm the passengers. The rest of the flight was normal into SFO. It was that incident that helped me decide to change employers which I did later on.

[@sarocker7541]

I remember this very well. I was a little kid in elementary school in Kearns that day. I heard the loudest, blood curdling boom and we all jumped under our little desks. We weren't allowed to leave school on foot because of the body parts that were out there. My mom had to come pick us up. After all these years, and because I was so little, I often thought that maybe I had imagined this event until coming across this video today.

[@lorilloyd88]

I was in high school at the time at Taylorsville High. So sad. My aunt's in-laws house was damaged a bit from the debris. They lived right in the path.

[@afreightdogslife]

Wow, what a sad story. It's definitely a catalyst and a precursor to the installation of TCAS. Good video. As always, thank you for taking the time to make it and post it.

[@Supatsu]

This is FASCINATING! I actually plan on taking PPL lessons out of south valley regional airport soon, and when I go to my jobs central office I routinely pass by this airport. I had absolutely no idea about this! I absolutely love when you cover lesser known crashes and HUGE kudos to you for the compilation of research and condensing of sources into these videos.

There is no Air Traffic Controller on Unicom. That is Common Traffic Advisory Frequency used by pilots to announce positions and intentions. Some FBO’s monitor and can provide local information such as wind velocity and direction, but are not controllers.

[@LunaticTheCat]

National Airways Flight 27 could be an interesting air disaster for you to cover sometime in the future. It's a pretty crazy incident that happened back in 1972 where a passenger was ejected out the window of a DC-10 after an uncontained engine failure penetrated the fuselage. To my knowledge no one on KZbin has made a video about this yet.

[@edobeirne]

Another masterpiece, thanks Chloe!

[@gooner72]

The fact that there are very few mid air collisions, even with ever increasing aircraft in the sky, shows you how good 95% of the World's ATC operators are and how highly trainined they are. It's like juggling with 100 balls in the air at any one time whilst having one eye covered, standing on one foot and spinning around like an ice skater. It's such a high pressured job that they're only allowed to a few hours on shift at any time before having to rest, I imagine they get a lot of headaches, even with our ultra modern technology.

[@ciprian7243]

I like how the instruments on the Skywest plane took a very...let`s say "transparent" approach towards the outside world at 1:30. Great content, though, as usual.

[@pickles3128]

Dude you have Lindsay Ellis, THE Lindsay Ellis, as one of your Patrons? I had no idea she was into aircrafts! Whatever you think about her personal politics she's a great editor and creator. She obviously sees the same potential in you. Keep it up! (But don't overwhelm yourself -- your mental health is not as important as some vague algorithm or keeping us entertained. Wishing you the best from St. Louis (KSTL, Lambert International, right under runway 12R to be exact!)

[@kimmyers5648]

Thank you so much for doing this video! I lived in SLC at that time and later became an emergency medical technician there. Part of our training was to analyze photos of mass casualty incidents, not just to analyze the type of injuries but to harden us against the gruesome scenes we may encounter in our work. One set of photos was from a mid-air collision over the Salt Lake Valley. In recent years I have tried like crazy to find more information on this disaster- until I saw this video! Thank you very much!

[@patolt1628]

In the USA at least, I do think there are too many light aircrafts flying too close or even inside big airports areas so that, as small airplanes will never be equipped with the same systems as airliners and, in addition, knowing that they mix amateurs and professionals, this kind of accident will happen again and again. My opinion

[@ZeldaTheSwordsman]

This incident stands out from the other similar ones you mentioned (and Allegheny 853) by virtue of both accident aircraft being prop planes, a circumstance in which the antiquated "See and avoid" principle was at least _somewhat_ feasible (if hardly desirable as a first resort). Whereas the others were "See and avoid is worthless when a jetliner is involved"

[@nenblom]

Reminds me of the Cerritos air disaster which involved an AeroMexico DC9 approaching LAX and a private plane that had just taken off from Torrance Airport. May the victims in both accidents RIP. ❤️❤️

[@cantfindmykeys]

I love the smooth ride of a Mooney. My friend had one, they are nice little planes.

[@windcorpOLEGSHA]

I find these videos really interesting to watch, especially given the amount of research and the tone of your presentation. Thank you for your efforts. The only thing is, for some strange reason I can never take proper notice of the year of the disaster =\

[@alexs5394]

Crazy. I live in SLC and often wonder about south valley whenever I fly out to the south. I had never heard of this disaster, but it completely makes sense knowing the area

[@jennifercordova7229]

I've been watching this channel (and similar ones) for months. I know more about airplanes and how they work than I did this time last year. I know the stats and how air travel is by far the safest mode of transportation today. And yet, I'm still terrified of flying. I still fly, because I have chosen not to live in fear, but still...

[@OriginalPineapplesFoster]

Good for you, choosing not to live in fear! Would it help you at all to think about how there are more planes flying at once than all the disaster videos on any given channel? And these videos cover a span of decades, making up a nearly insignificant percentage of every flight that's ever happened? You've said you know the stats, but perhaps framing it this way makes the safety factor a bit more tangible? Also if you haven't already found it, I recommend watching Mentour Pilot's series on air incidents. As a very experienced pilot, he speaks with firsthand knowledge of the environment, but is objective, not glossing over anything, and he's incredibly reassuring. 🛫🍍

[@ambers1102]

Just wanted to say this channel is fantastic and you have a very soothing voice/accent.

[@NateDates]

This would be a much different story had the plan landed not even a block later, probably would've been one of the worst plane to on ground civilian crashes, an entire school would've been gone. In a weird twisted way its very lucky the plane crashed where it did

[@JustWanderingBy]

I grew up in Kearns and was 7 when this happened. I lived in the jet path just south of where the collision occurred. That crash and the coverage after it happened is still seared into my memory (probably because of the wreckage and body parts that were found all over the area). There are two main paths to SLC airport from the south now (only one was used in 1987) The So. Valley regional airport is almost directly under the main path. It’s never made sense to me why they placed the smaller airport where they did when there were plenty of alternatives at the time it was built.

I was looking at the videos of the airport and I was wondering why that airport looked so familiar when I've never even been to Utah. Then I realized it was LAX, out of which I've flown numerous times and every time I've flown internationally. Just seeing that makes me feel the excitement of getting to go to an entirely different country (although I've been to both of our neighboring countries on land).
