Football Tragedy | LaMia Flight 2933

[@RedTsarOldChannel-INACTIVE]

Here people still remember it... Everything looked good for Chapecoense,but then the crash happened. Was really grateful to see Atletico Nacional giving up the title to them. We'll never forget them. Never.

[@ichhasseamerika]

Wow, thats straight up of Athletico (I dont follow football, so didnt know)

[@TenorCantusFirmus]

I distinctly remember the whole story too... Disturbingly similar to the 1949 Superga disaster, in which the whole Torino FC squad perished, and which has practically blown out the team from the highest echelons of the sport (in that case too the other teams agreed on giving them the Title, Torino FC heading the Italian Championship with a large gap), those old enough to remember that other tragedy, and those knowing it too, immediately started drawing the comparison. A friendship between the fanbases of the two teams have also been born, and on the first anniversary of the Chapecoense tragedy Torino FC players went on field dressing a one-off green shirt reminescent of Chapecoense's official social colours.

[@ginabench1981]

How horrifying to know you are about to crash.

[@jeysonandstephaniebraun3051]

The airline was already going through financial trouble. The captain was a part owner of the airline... Stopping to refuel would cost extra so he basically chose not too. Also, declaring an emergency would call attention to the fact that they knowingly disregarded the fuel requirements to destination and alternate, so they chose to go on. Even as the engines started flaming out, in spanish, they are say to the control: "a fuel problem has arisen" and when all go out, they say "an electrical problem came up".... meaning they still hoped to land with no engines and sweep they problem under the rug. Another flight had declared an emergency earlier which is why they were put in a holding pattern. With almost no fuel, thy chose to hold nevertheless rather than admit they had a problem - and admit they had basically planned the flight with that fuel range.

[@richardbradley1598]

That explains so many questions I had, no mayday for instance

[@timonsolus]

Perhaps there should be an international law that airline owners aren't allowed to be pilots for the airline, to avoid a conflict of interest.

"i have gotten away with it before" needs to be added to the list of hazardous attitudes the FAA makes us learn. This type of thinking is so easy to fall into, and can be so deadly

[@olivergrumitt8033]

The same thing happened on the Challenger flight that exploded shortly after launch. There was a fault with the O rings that engineers were aware of and warned managers but managers decided that although O ring erosion had been observed on previous flight, no disaster had occurred and so it was all right to continue flights. Essentially, managers were playing Russian roulette and sooner or later the bullet would be in the firing chamber. The 25th Shuttle flight, the 10th of Challenger was the flight which had the bullet in the chamber. This complacent approach to a potentially catastrophic problem became to be known as the Normalization of Deviance, which occurred again with the second fatal Shuttle flight, of Columbia, in 2003. Aviation and spaceflight are not tolerant of carelessness and such complacent attitudes must never occur again.

[@eltonalonsopompeu615]

A few extra details: 1. The pilot was also one of LaMia’s co-owners. He was well aware of the airline’s poor financial condition, that’s probably why he adopted this conducts about flight planning and management. 2. He knew he would be fined if he landed anywhere flamed-out. That factor probably explains why the emergency declaration was made so late. 3. How bolivian authorities approved this flight plan is beyond me. That aircraft should never be allowed to take off with such little fuel to spare. 4. About the survivors: 🇧🇴crew technician Erwin Tumiri is studying to become a commercial pilot 🇧🇴 stewardess Ximena Suárez became an air traffic agent 🇧🇷 journalist Rafael Henzel resumed his career until dying in march 26, 2019, by a heart attack while playing football with friends 🇧🇷 backup goal-keeper Jakson Ragnar Follmann lost a leg in the crash, effectively ending his footballing career. He is pursuing a career as a singer, winning a well known Brazilian singing reality show recently. 🇧🇷 defender Neto retired from football wihout being able to resume his footballing career due to chronic pain from his injuries. He belongs now to Chapecoense’s staff. 🇧🇷 Wing back Alan Ruschel resumed his footballing career. He returned to Chapecoense after a loan to Goiás (a Brazilian first division, mid-tier club). About Chapecoense’s fate: Chape is a very small club that was very well run by the board of directors that perished in the crash. They never got back to the playing level they had before the accident. In the aftermath of the crash, several clubs suggested a three year period while Chapecoense would be free of being relegated, even if finishing as one of the four last in the league. Chapecoense, maybe under pressure by the Brazilian Football Confederation, refused. Last year, which would be the last year of immunity, Chape finished second to last and got relegated to Brazil’s second division. It will be really hard to them, as a tiny club, to get back to relevance after the disaster and the personal and financial fallout from the crash.

[@illumiNOTme326]

Gary McMichael what don't you understand? He's basically stating that the USAF considers a pilots failure to ensure the appropriate amount of fuel to be so serious that it's equivalent to a Navy Captain making the mistake of grounding a ship. In both instances it will end your career. He is making the case that this video highlights the reason why the punishment for such an oversight is so harsh.

[@TheProPilot]

@Gary McMichael Seems pretty clear to me. If you intentionally flight plan to not have enough fuel, declare an emergency, and then divert for it, you're going to be flipping signs in front of the local tax office.

[@Tom-ih8gr]

I’m calling bullshit, that’s absolutely backward. That sort of culture would encourage people not to divert for fuel and to press on regardless, thus crashing. Nothing wrong at all with diverting for fuel, most people have done it a least once if not more times in their career. Increased holding, headwinds or go arounds can all make aircraft shorter of fuel. To sack someone for making a safe and pragmatic decision to divert because they’re low on fuel is so ridiculous it’s clearly not the case.

[@computertutorials1286]

@@Tom-ih8gr The difference is they knew they didn't have enough fuel before they left the runway and just didn't care. This crash was caused solely by the idiot pilots.

[@smokeyveras7235]

Some major incompetence going on here. Flight logs revealed that the pilots basically allowed this to happen more than once. Majority of their flights were under fueled, and I believe a flight that took place shortly before this one, ran out of fuel as well, but the pilots were able to glide it down and land safely. Multiple situations and the pilots never thought “hmmm, maybe something is wrong with our fuel calculations?” Imagine being okay with this much stress for every single flight.

[@emiliosimone366]

1) 10 minutes before landing (and with 20 minutes of gas in the tank) everything looked fine for this pilot coming from a South direction. I believe he was third in sequence for landing (LATAM and AV ahead of him). No delays, no particular weather on his route. 2) Out of the blue, VivaColombia (flying from BOG to ADZ) declares an emergency and request landing at MDE. 3) ATC quickly clears Viva for landing and puts everyone else in a hold. 4) The Lamia pilot has two choices: a) declare an emergency himself or b) hope the VivaColombia lands quickly. Even though the guy sounds quite distressed he goes for b) mainly because MDE will fine the airline (I think it is 25K) for a preventable fuel emergency landing. This new charter airline and the pilot might further get their licenses revoked to operate in Colombia if they are found to be operating recklessly -which is very likely-. 5) Viva faces some weather landing (he is coming from the North) and its landing takes an extra 8 minutes to complete. That emergency was due to a faulty fuel indicator. 6) By the time ATC goes back to the aircraft waiting on hold the Lamia plane is doomed. He declares emergency way too late. We know how that ended. 7) MORE IMPORTANTLY: both Avianca and LATAM planes are then diverted to an alternate airport while ATC tries to sort out what happened to Lamia. Those two planes, sequence 1 and 2 for landing with the MDE airport literally in sight AND good weather, spent over an extra hour in the air while the Viva and Lamia emergencies played out (and to take them to the alternate). Lesson: you do need extra fuel for both 1) delays not related to weather and 2) fuel to alternate.... even when everything looks perfect 3 minutes from landing with the airport in sight. avherald.com/h?article=4a16583c/0017&opt=0 (Comment by ColPilot on Thursday, Dec 1st 2016 16:34Z)

Yes, and they also likely added flaps at some point. We know they deployed speed brakes at 15:57 but they likely never retracted neither flaps or SB's. I don't know what the glide ratio is on the aircraft but those short wing surfaces don't appear to make it a very good glider either. I only have about 100 hrs real flying time but 10's of thousands of hours on flight sim games and practiced trying to make a runway many times.

I mean, if these pilots were not morons in the direct meaning of the word (and that means we are saying that all the involved pilots have well bellow average intellect), the only thing that can explain a moderately sensible, sane pilot doing this is very poor training or a hellish amount of pressure to get there (Like in the case of President Kaczyński's plane crash). whichever it is, someone outside that plane (or at least that cockpit) is responsible.

"bordered" on criminal? aint you an angel

[@bullseyes1983]

There were several factors discovered later on: - The totally unprofessional crew, leaving with a flight plan that hadn't enough fuel. That is no miscalculation, THEY KNEW IT. - Once in flight, they choose not to divert to refuel, even knowing there was a big chance of not making it. - They didn't notified ATC about the fuel warning until it was too late. - Didn't took corrective action to make it to the runway and slowed too soon. - Bolivian aviation authorities knew about regular LaMia's short on fuel flight plans, but we're corrupt and shut up for money. - CONMEBOL, the south american football association that organizes the tournament, urged teams to contract LaMia charter flights. Several teams used, even when it meaned larger flights like this one, at no better price that a direct flight contracted with any other company. Corruption once again.

what animation/game do you use?

[@ythinder]

Their actions turned a perfectly serviceable aircraft into a death trap

[@douglasb5046]

Terrible flight planning/aeronautical decision-making by the pilots/dispatchers. Very sad this led to such a loss of life of innocents

[@emiliofernandez7117]

They are still playing, just not on earth 💔

[@CaptainJadenAR]

The accidents are real.

[@WendyKS93]

There is no getting around the fact that this tragedy happened because of the pilots careless disregard for the lives and safety of their passengers and apparently did so on more than one occasion and this time it ended in tragically. They knew they had a fuel problem yet did not divert and get fuel when they could and should have yet. Well done video Allec.

[@CyberSystemOverload]

These have to be the two most incompetent unprofessional pilots I have ever heard off. The people behind that cockpit door sitting in those rows of seats place their lives in the hands of the flight crew. This accident makes me so mad, their arrogance and unprofessionalism took the lives of those poor passengers, the young rookie pilot in the jumpseat and all the cabin crew because of sheer incompetence. You can hear the stress entering the voice of the controller as she began to realize the seriousness of it all.

[@Boubson]

What if they shut 2 engines when they saw the master alarm indicating that they have only 20 min of fuel remaining??

[@Alicia-BG]

First they risk running out of fuel and then they act like nothing is happening even as the engines start flaming out. It's truly sickening how so many lives were lost due to stupidity and negligence.

[@sanyahikari7072]

This is like the Andes crash, but with a jet plane instead. And the second plane crash to almost eliminate an entire sports team.

[@workingguy-OU812]

Such a shame, and a waste. Also, one of my favorite aircraft for its uniqueness. I got to fly on one while it was in service for an American airline as a regional (IIRC) aircraft, and I just thought it the coolest little plane with its four high-mounted engines. I figured that it may have been originally designed for military use, but it seems that it was designed for short take offs.

[@JJDigitalartStudio]

The young lives lost is sad. All for the laziness or ineptitude of the pilots.

[@Cthight]

Pilots logic: Hey we might not have enough fuel are gonna make it? Pff sure or do Birds need fuel? We got wings dude so calm down.

[@maximorlova226]

rip to those amazing soccer players

[@AvEnth1]

What do yu use to make your vids Is it pure animation or from a flight sim

[@petuniaskunk2316]

Wonder what is the new video today?

[@Boubson]

"The flight late departure is due to a Chapecoense team member's request to have a videogame retrieved from his luggage in the cargo hold prior to departure". A capricious child (or star) mindset. "I want my Nintendo Switch. Right now. Otherwise I'm going on a starvation strike"... At the end, we had a starvation strike from the plane

[@bjr4567]

Still, considering all the errors made by the crew, both before and then during the flight, it's a wholly inconsequential issue. As it were, I'm not sure ANY flight crew could screw things up more thoroughly and impressively than this one managed to do.

[@francocrosa1073]

I waited a lot for this video, thanks Allec! For the next I would like to see the Air Botswana Disaster, and the man who stole an Alaska Airliner, btw is that story real? Hahahahaha

cool story bro

[@IanTaylor_1]

SOOOOOOOOOO many errors made by the pilots and ATC. Neither took the situation serious. Amazing how humans can be that negligent when dealing with many lives. ATC clearly doesn't understand the definition of EMERGENCY.

[@mizzyroro]

He never declared an emergency.

[@IanTaylor_1]

Mizzy Roro true. However, when an air traffic controller hears a pilot say they have a fuel problem then they need to take it seriously. I was an air traffic controller for the US Air Force and I would’ve asked the pilot if they’re declaring an emergency. Very simple. Gear down and flaps configuration was enough to kill them all. Your next pilot could be that stupid.

[@gabe-po9yi]

Where did they get their licenses from? Mail order?

[@biglsworth567]

Will you do a video on Urugayan Air Force Flight 571?

[@alexfield290]

It's not mention here, but one of the investigators theorized the captain had pulled the CVR's circuit breaker on purpose (as pulling it practically makes no noise) in order to prevent further conversations about the fuel situation being recorded.

[@AndrePereira-tw5vs]

It was not the first time that the killer commander flew with the fuel running out, the other times it worked and he did it again even wrong, stupid killer.

[@sharksman20rocks]

Could you do BEA flight 548?

[@khkartc]

Operating an airline on a shoestring budget, together with the pilot’s being a substantial shareholder in the company, is a recipe for disaster.

[@virginiafry9854]

Taking 2 hours to reach a cruising altitude of 30,000 ft would use up a lot of fuel!

[@jl5529]

I vividly remember the day I learned about this crash

[@ZC_Offcials]

Are there any BAe 146/Avro RJ100 in production?

[@pup1008]

Nope!

[@ZC_Offcials]

But why Skyjet ordered their first BAe 146/Avro RJ in 2012?

[@ZC_Offcials]

And SWISS ordered their first BAe 146/Avro RJ in 2002?

[@skunksecond]

What were the names of the people who survived the crash?

[@Harley08]

So sad. Rest In Peace to all the passengers who lost their lives. ✝️

Inmediatly after the accident went public, Atlético Nacional wanted Conmebol to proclaim Chapecoense as champion of the Copa Sudamericana 2016. No even a single person in this planet had a different opinion. Por siempre en nuestras memorias, todos los que perecieron en el vuelo 2933. RIP
