Flight 111 Plummets Into The Open Ocean | Mayday Compilation | Wonder

I don’t know if anyone mentioned this in the comments, but the place where the crash happens is iconic for Canadians, and long before the crash happened. The lighthouse in Peggy’s Cove is often included in montages of Canada. For us, this tragedy was made all the more surreal because it happened in a place we all “knew”. Such a sad story. May the dead rest in peace and may their families continue to receive comfort.

I used to be an Aviation Electrician (AE) in the U.S. Navy, and when I first heard there was smoke in the cockpit of the Airplane, I immediately knew that was a serious emergency. I knew that when the fire starts to burn those electric wires, they will lose all the flight instruments, autopilot system, as well as the controls of the plane. The pilots should had called for mayday immediately after they noticed all that smoke. They wasted too much time trying to do other things than landing the plane as soon as possible. Those extra minutes could have saved the lives of those 229 souls. It was a terrible loss, and my heart goes out to all their families.

[@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617]

Yea man it's unfortunate they didn't take it more serious from the first hint of the smell and especially combined with the wisps of light smoke, though I've talked to several pilots, mechanics and read several reports and simulations since this happened not to mention my grandfather who retired as a 747-200 Captain in 1994, me being a kid it was something of a past time for us though of course it was always much more bitter than sweet considering someone was always either injured or more likely killed but he believed they wouldn't have made it even if they immediately declared an emergency squawked 7700 went through the checklist and configurations, most I've talked to or read or heard also seem to agree and unfortunately so do I, Japan 123 has been the scariest air disaster for me since my grandfather first told me about it almost 30 years ago now but as ridiculously insurmountable the odds against that crew was, the one thing they didn't have to deal with is Fire, and for me it's one of the few things I'd truly panic about, it's truly amazing how lax the aviation industry was when it came to smoking, I mean not only is it unhealthy and annoying as hell, it's also ridiculously dangerous but so commonplace the crew of Air Canada 797 didn't think much of a fire in the bathroom trash can because it was so common for people not to fully put out their cigarettes before tossing them, that truly amazes me, possibly hundreds of lives at stake and all it takes is one spark but it was permitted for decades and even in the US not officially completely banned until 2000... sorry to yap man I still need to work on that but yea man these guys met their end in such a horrifying way, if its not the worse then it's a nanometer behind it..and also much respect to u for your service bruh

Several things I don’t understand your entire cockpit is to the point you need your oxygen mask and you don’t declare a emergency nor do you start early wanting to land immediately and start preparing to in that 30 min window you were given than you fly out towards the ocean already having this problem to dump fuel. You should have just landed. I’m sorry but this was a instructor and a experienced pilot. I’m not saying he couldn’t fly well but common sense and logically thinking in a emergency situation there was no logic on the captains part. They still might have made it but he had 30 mins to arrive at the airport 20 mins later he’s over the ocean dumping fuel. No the air controller did everything right he himself was concerned the pilot was to high and by his wording more less why wasn’t he descending to be able to land.

I'm not an airplane pilot, I'm a fishing boat captain out of San Diego. But even halfway through this event, I was already calling this captain a moron. Here's why. First, "Where there's smoke, there's fire," and when you're in an enclosed vessel, be it airborne or waterborne, any sign of smoke is considered an EMERGENCY SITUATION. We have a saying on ships, and it goes like this: "A FIRE AT SEA CAN RUIN YOUR ENTIRE DAY." We take that statement seriously. This so-called "professional" captain should have put this airplane on the ground ASAP, but instead he flew around like a student pilot enjoying the view. This was an accident just waiting to happen, but could have so easily been avoided. He had plenty of time to land before things went critical.

An excess of maybe 5 or 10 times the current rating of a cable is required to heat a cable to red heat like that. Where were the fuses? Arcing? Heating & cooling?

3:47 --12 cabin crew for 215 passengers? Amazing! What do we have these days? 2 cabin crew with attitudes for 215 passengers... I remember enjoying flying back in the 60s/70s/80s. Now you have to be young and healthy to "barely" survive a plane trip.

[@PrettyVacant45988]

I never gave flying a second thought. I 'hopped' from Sandy Eggo to LA, or whereever, with all the trust in the world, never, ever, even considering that any danger or malfunctions, organic or inorganic, might be an issue. I even put my beloved boys, about 7 and 8 years old, on a flight from Boise to Atlanta, without a thought that the [invaluable] Attendants would look after them; the aircraft was sound; and everyone would do their job, and beyond, when needed. The mechanics, electricians, & all whose job was to make the aircraft safe & sound, did their jobs perfectly. The flight crew would b perfect. Of these things I had faith & confidance. Thank God, they all did. My babies flew clear across America, twice, & thanks to so many consciencous people, doing their jobs well, i got my babies back. Thank YOU (plural). All of you.

I am sickened by the stupidity and foolhardiness of these two pilots. They owed the victims an apology even in their own demise. Pilots' error causing major catastrophe is totally unacceptable! They took things too lightly when dumping fuel should be the start of the process!

[@772amanda237]

Agreed. So many commenters blaming the ATC and other things. The pilots should have abandoned the "by the book" process really.

Bill ATC did all he could and did it correctly

[@christopherzhao3135]

Bill did his best. Even though he missed a transmission from the captain but that’s no big deal. It’s the pilot of flight 111 failed to recognize the severity of the situation in the first place that let everyone down. So I blame this accident on the flight crew rather than the fire emergency or ATC. Lack of situational awareness and critical decision making sealed the fate for all 229 souls on board.

[@MithridatesOfficial]

My Dad was a check airman on the 777 for United for a long time.. retired now. He used to fly to Delhi, Tel-Aviv, Shanghai, Paris, all over.. He used to say, "If I ever I had an on-board fire while at cruise over the ocean, I'd be making a B-line for the closest piece of land immediately. Also used to joke and say, "When going over the north pole, if there was an engine fire or a dual engine failure, there'd be very I can do".. would be crash landing on Santa's front lawn."

Insisting on dumping fuel while there is lots of smoke and fire in the cockpit is absolutely insane, no matter what any checklist says.

[@AhmadNaveedKhan1996]

Driving is a lot safer if you do have an accident your chances of survival are still very high. But if you count plane crashes, then the chances of surviving are almost zero

[@marybarry2230]

For me on an airplane smoke indicates a fire! Smoke in a cockpit really really indicates a serious fire!😮

[@RaisedLetter]

In the back of my mind, knowing that the circulating fan towards the rear was pulling the fire towards the back, would it have changed the outcome if the cabin bus remained on?

[@christopherzhao3135]

Definitely. By leaving the cabin bus on, smoke won’t enter the cockpit all at once causing the autopilot and primary flight displays to fail. Unfortunately turning the cabin bus off was one of the checklist items they were performing at that time.

[@RaisedLetter]

@@christopherzhao3135 I get it. Basically they sealed their own fate by following the checklist rather than landing immediately.

[@christopherzhao3135]

@@RaisedLetter that being said, the reason why captain Sully was a true hero is because he did his job as a CAPTAIN. He wasn’t fixated on the best possible outcome (returning to an airport). Instead his situational awareness and decision making was superb. He was constantly analyzing the situation at hand and willing to change his mind. If that plane was flown by captain of Swissair 111, I believe the outcome will be very different.

So I understand that experts believe that they would not have been able to make it to Halifax airport no matter what they did differently BUT was there really no other alternative place they could land? A huge field, long roadway, anything on land that could have been better for them? Seemed like such a huge stretch of land between when they noticed smoke and where Halifax airport was.

How is smoke in the cockpit not an immediate Mayday call, they were way too casual with it.
