It’s Halloween night, in the year 2000, and a Boeing 747 crawls onto the runway at Taiwan. Amid howling winds and piercing rain, the pilots strain to see out their windscreens. As they push their four massive engines to takeoff thrust, they have no idea that ahead of them, a terrifying surprise awaits.
This is the horrifying story, of Singapore Airlines, flight 6.

I was on a flight from HK to Taipei when this happened. We had just broken through the low cloud cover above Taipei airport on final approach when suddenly our plane went into a very steep and violent climb. I had no idea what was happening. I thought the pilot had misjudged the landing or decided the typhoon was too strong to land in. Eventually, our pilot announced that we would be flying back to HK "due to the typhoon". After we landed in HK, we were kept on the runway for hours. Eventually, we were taken off the plane and sent to hotels. On the way through HK airport, I saw lots of reporters trying to talk to the crew. I thought it was all a bit strange. After arriving at the hotel and getting to my room, I turned on the TV and found out what had happened. It was then that I realised our pilots had witnessed that crash from above. I will never forget the sound of those engines screaming as our pilot pulled up.

I feel extremely bad for the captain. He was sure that he was doing everything right, and he almost was. He fell prey to an error that anyone pilot could've made, and that cost 83 people their lives. Singapore Airlines firing him and the F/O were unnecessarily harsh, and I'm glad they continued to fly with AirAsia.

[@rilmar2137]

Exactly! The issue with the lights and markings was on the airport authorities.

[@PJay-wy5fx]

Was the airport held accountable in any way???

[@stormix5755]

So many things were working against the pilots. Literally the only thing that wasn’t was the PVD, but it’s unfortunate they didn’t listen to it. It’s absolutely infuriating that the airport didn’t either temporarily or permanently shut off the lights to the closed taxiway, or put up barriers at the entrance of the closed road, or maintain the other green line properly, or have ground radar, or have literally any signs that a hazard was ahead. It’s an absolutely unacceptable in today’s world. You can’t rely on a paper map and broken lighting to guide you in terrible weather.

Damn, I remember this from Air-crash Investigations (TV). Probably one of the least egregious 'pilot-error' accidents in history, whilst it's awful so many died, a 54% survival chance is better than 0%... I was gobsmacked those lights were so misleading on the ground, it's incredible no one else had crashed/overran/became dangerously lost earlier. That dead runway should of been clearly closed, the airport authorities have just as big a role in causing this crash as the pilots, if not more, given the authorities had much more time (and weren't victims of confirmation bias) vs/ the pilots.

[@heythave]

So true. However distracted or incompetent the pilots were, they can’t go over concrete barriers. So, if it were cordoned off, the error wouldn’t have happened.

[@shrimpflea]

Yup, not to mention if they had ground radar in the tower they would have seen they were lined up on the wrong runway.

[@LastAvailableAlias]

You'd think that the pilot would've looked at the airport map though and seen that the taxiway continued in front of him and that, according to the airport map, they couldn't be at 05L since 05L was at the endpoint where you had to turn R. 6:21 12:35 He also ignored his PVD. You'd think he'd take it as a sign that he was on 05R. I will say they could've at least put barriers up at the ends of the runway also to make it obvious the runway was closed.

[@Erasethetruth]

Rubbish...Accident was caused by appalling airmanship and professionalism. Nothing wrong with the airport. It is entirely the crew responsibility to locate the correct runway. They just ignored their basic instruments and moving map. Eg PVD .the signal that powers that come from the localiser( centre line) of the active runway.. Depaeted on airport surface with NEW GREEN CENTRE LINE TAXIWAY LIGHTING... ????

[@DaWrecka]

@@ErasethetruthAnd the fact that the taxiway lights leading to the other runway basically didn't exist in the darkness? So the only lights guiding the pilots were to the wrong runway? That's not the fault of the airport?

Exactly. The light should have been off as well. Airport personnel should have been present in foggy conditions because no ground radar. Airport management is more to blame than the pilots as they were negligent with days, weeks to plan this out rather than the flight crew's minutes.

@@BB-xx3dv Singapore isn't really the "developing world". Wikipedia: "As a highly developed country, it has one of the highest GDP per capita (PPP) in the world." Though they are capitalist, they nonetheless decline to follow the doctrine of economic liberalism (the idea that the government should take a hands-off approach to the economy and let the private sector handle everything), and hence they probably have better healthcare, education, etc. than my country (the USA) has. However, they unfortunately have a problem with authoritarianism. A person can be caned (repeatedly struck with a cane) and imprisoned for overstaying their visa, and can be condemned to death for possessing drugs. I don't think I would want to live in a country with such authoritarian policies. edit: I think they were trying to take off from an airport in Taipei, Taiwan, but neither is Taiwan in the developing world. We get all of our computer chips from there!

[@robertjenkins6132]

I agree, there should have been a barrier at the entry if there were barriers and construction equipment further on down. Moreover, it seems prudent to maybe put a sign up saying something to the effect of "Bro, this ain't a runway! Don't try to take off here!!" (or similar).

Somehow, despite watching so many videos in a row of airplane crashes/accidents, I feel oddly reassured.

May those who lost their lives in this crash find peace.

OMG..I've seen other videos covering this accident, but none so detailed! This really explains so much. I was almost sick when hearing the breakdown. Although yes, there were 3 signs from the pilot's instrumentation that showed they were not exactly where they should have been, I really find fault with the airport. The other recreations I saw didn't break down about the green lights & other CRUCIAL details that explain why the pilot did what he did. As if piloting a commercial aircraft filled to the brim with passengers on a rainy, windy night isn't enough, having to navigate the airways to get to their destinations, trying to find a valid runway shouldn't be such a confusing puzzle. NTSB & airports should clearly delineate & even have barriers to corridors that look like runways. All the airport really had to do was TURN OFF the green lights at the beginning of that runway/taxiway that was under construction, & the pilot would have taxied the jet to the correct runway...which would've been the only one with green lights if the airport had done their due diligence. It really is/was that simple! Again, it's hard enough for pilots to navigate all that they must without having to study a map of an airport like they're studying for a final exam! For shame!

[@utdutd8336]

I discovered this channel one week ago. I have to say that it is the most gripping stuff I've ever seen on KZbin. I have also learned so much about flying and what goes on in the cockpit. Needless to say, I have now developed a fear of flying. I worked as a risk analyst years gone by but I've never really assessed the risk of flying in my head. Now I do and It's terrifying. Maybe this sudden feeling comes from the fact that flying in a plane is the only time in your life where you are not in control of your destiny.

[@eXJonSnow]

Idk how you could supposedly work as a risk analyst and be afraid of flying as a mode of transportation. A plane crash is obviously going to be far more catastrophic than a car crash, and you have absolutely no control. Despite that, you are vastly more likely to die driving to and from the airport than you are to die in a plane crash. The odds aren’t close at all. When was the last time you saw a news story of a disastrous large plane crash (not some prop-plane with two people)? Compare that to the literal thousands and thousands of successful flights that happen around the world everyday. As for control, you also can’t 100% someone from t-boning you in an intersection and killing you. Mile for mile, flying is absolutely one of the safest methods of travel. These crashes are terrifying, but the odds are that no one who watches this video will end up in a similar crash in their life.

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

Take it from someone who's ridden a motorcycle for the last 30+ years of his life. You ARE NOT IN CONTROL of your destiny for most of your life. You have some illusion that you control some things, but your legitimate scope of control is tiny... nearly insignificant. You only really have influences that you can exert... playing the dice with little manipulators on your general statistical model, but sooner or later EVERYBODY gets "lucky"... sometimes good and sometimes not so much. "Live by the sword... Die by the sword." Right? Miyamoto Musashi lived by the sword. Rose to become recognized as THE (one and only singular in history) Kensei of Japan, which roughly translates to "Saint of the Sword". He died of stomach cancer in a monastery. Thousands of us "fans" make a pilgrimage to the very rock where he drew his last breath, and take a tour to see some of the specific sites where he fought in duels that were well enough documented to get the stories told and places shown... So much for "Live by the sword... Die by the sword."... EVEN for arguably THE MOST ardent man of the sword in Japan's history... and that didn't take long to research either. (Though I cheated, and grew up in the 80's and 90's when you just about couldn't get away from his mention... haha... I'd suggest you pop over (at least once in a while) to a couple good channels. "74Gear" where Kelsey (a pro' 747 Pilot) reviews videos, talks aviation, and explains a LOT about how it is in the cockpit today... and "Mentor Pilot" where Petter, a 737 Pilot and instructor or check captain(?) also talks aviation, reviews past incidents and disasters, and helps understand the goings on and progress that's been made to date and speculates on some of where progress is going forward (ish)... Lots to pick up. Finally, a word of warning about channels like this one. These are "disaster channels" and all you're going to hear or see are, in point of fact, disasters. It's easy to slip into a bias, yourself, when all you see is how easy and monumentally things can go wrong... It's easy to reach a perspective where it seems a g** d*** miracle that anyone gets anywhere in one piece... AND that simply is NOT the case. Incidents do happen, but even they are rare in commercial aviation, and accidents are extremely rare. Granted, it's a cold comfort to those who get caught up in such things, BUT with literally hundreds of thousands or millions of planes in the air a day, even the most vanishingly rare instances still get annotated more regularly than "almost never"... Still, you have a FAR greater chance of dying in an accident on your way to the airport than you do on an airplane. ;o)

[@mackaroni33]

i also have a fear of flying, but remember: you're hearing about the very very very rare cases. so many regulations have been changed to make sure nothing like this happens ever again, and they're so rare to begin with in the first place. also, planes are the safest form of transportation in comparison to trains cars boats etc etc etc. there's a reason to have a healthy amount of fear, however planes *are* safe, and accidents like this make sure this fact remains true.

Airports need to take in to account that human pilots will make mistakes. There are thousands of flights, someone eventually is going to have a bad day for one reason or another. Put up portable barriers when you are working on the runway. No pilot will drive their plane through them. Every train crossing have lights and a gate. Street crossings have lights. Put a red/green light at the runway, controlled by the tower. Or something. Anything really.

Your runway maps made it very easy to digest and even though I had heard this story several times I was deeply engrossed. Too many lives lost for such a simple mistake. Love your channel! Thank you!

[@ivangomez2481]

Hi love your videos and your explanation of the facts. Would love to see a video about the crash of the 747 from Avianca just before landing in Madrid Spain. Thanks Ivan

[@SuccessforLifester]

I know about this case but never know it was Halloween. Because it is not really a thing in Asia

[@apocrypha5363]

The pilot was being so methodical and careful, that halfway through the video, I checked the release date to make sure it wasn't a very strange April Fools joke, where Green Dot documents a flight that goes perfectly from start to finish.

[@cinnatoastkrunch6638]

Stumbled on your channel today! Working at Pratt and Whitney and watching your videos have been a journey so far!

[@rexelgaming3632]

Wow..i never knew this story that in depth before.

[@civilianconcerned]

Always excited for the newest Green Dot upload. Keep up the good work!

[@justmoritz]

This is the best docu on this flight. Well done!

[@eleminikraft3571]

Im always so hyped when I see you upload. Your upload schedule is just right and I think nobody will forget about you inbetween two videos. Not to mention your videos keep getting better and better.

[@anumCooking1]

Captain Mr Maaz chee koong should have known about what is ahead

[@philippgabler5835]

I have my phone on black and white and when I read "Helloween Horror" I thought it's some random Helloween stroy. Then I realized it's one of your videos. Black and white can turn one of the most beautiful 747s into a scary looking object.

[@LibertyLover5]

I hate the accidents now, but I love your style. So I keep watching.

[@SMSPLAYZ]

This was amazing! Everything explained with even more information that some channels never include! This video was superb great job!!

[@Matityahu755]

The technology was there right in front of them to see. Three experienced pilots, their guilt must be palpable. Thinking of those poor souls lost, and their families, and the rescue teams out there helping to save lives in those horrible weather conditions.

[@auntbarbara5576]

Yay a brandy new Green Dot! Thank you!

[@johnny5805]

Regardless of the airport's layout issues, it was breathtaking incompetence on the part of the crew.

[@LastAvailableAlias]

Nicely done videos. Just the facts, no focus on yourself just the story, and if you are doing all the animation then that is a lot of work. I also appreciate that there is no hype, no weird sound effects and no overbearing music.

[@Eric_Hutton.1980]

Excellent video as usual.

[@LQ2DARESQ]

May they rest in peace

[@VerveQuest-zc4ri]

It's stunning 96 ppl survived that fireball

[@o0oSolidSnakeo0o]

I gotta say mate, your videos are fantastic. Great pacing of storytelling aided by flight recordings and technical information (flaws) of each respective plane makes for banging videos every time. Thank you very much for the thought and care you put into your videos. Far and away the best on the platform.

[@Penasco]

Really cool to see the interaction with the airport chart . Great video !

[@MalleusMalleusMalleus]

I found your channel yesterday and have been on a binge ever since. As someone who has no clue what goes on in aviation and hearing your explanations makes it super clear. Consider me subbed 🖤

[@rolada1335]

Another green dot aviation banger just dropped🗣💯💯

[@asdfghjkl-ef5lx]

Love how this was uploaded just a day before Singapore's birthday. Loving your videos!

[@eos_planes]

This was one of the most interesting ones yet, thank you for covering this story.

[@Tina-d8f]

Very informative.

[@HorrorFuse]

Keep up the good work!

[@Geopoldd]

That perfectly timed bedtime upload

[@fridayman99]

Great video, as always. I don't know how you do the plane animations, but they're very cool! Please do a video on United Airlines Flight UA1722, which dropped 800 feet after takeoff and almost crashed. The NTSB just published their report on it.

[@sorroua1658]

I feel so terrible for the pilots they didn't deserve to be fired, and the guilt they must've carried with them afterward

[@shrimpflea]

IMO they kind of did deserve it. They ignored so many signs that they were not on the correct runway.

[@conned]

Such as?

[@santhanamsingh4905]

The day is good when green dot guys upload

[@jordnchn7907]

ngl would like to see some more non-air crash investigation videos, mean still great work on your vid and i LOVED your south african airways vid (explained alot better than the air crash investigation episode) Maybe some infamous crashes that havent been covered by air crash investigation episodes would be fantanstic, as me and probably alot of other ppl who watch this channel have probably already seen this episode. still love your work!!!!!

[@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617]

"It's the night of August 8 2023 and I just saw a new upload from Green Dot" "I pause then begin to rub my hands together like Birdman"

[@gordocooper5324]

I was with them when this tragedy occurred.All very sad indeed. But this is an excellent presentation of the facts and causes of what happened, very well done.

[@aaronmdjones]

Not just the moving map display, an RAAS (runway awareness and advisory system) would have also prevented this crash, and many other aircraft have that. It audibly calls out what runways you're approaching and which one you've lined up on. "APPROACHING ZERO FIVE RIGHT" and "ON RUNWAY ZERO FIVE RIGHT" would be what they heard, knowing that they were supposed to be on 05L instead, unless the data had been updated to reflect the conversion, and then they wouldn't have heard either of those (which would be suspicious in itself), and additionally, when they set takeoff thrust, it would have screamed "ON TAXIWAY, ON TAXIWAY".

[@AJDIYNetwork]

Love your channel. Keep up great work!

[@vivi6121]

such an avoidable accident, terrible

[@Zakorree]

i was jus at taiwan it was fire

[@kindenmarcs.riquez5868]

Thank you for another 747 disaster series 🫶🏻

[@cassandraparker8467]

I love your videos omg, by far my favourite things to put on while I work!!!

[@chrzoc]

Yeah, I’ll never forget this one… It’s used quite a bit as reference material when discussing the kinetics of psychological phenomena such as tunnel vision and confirmation bias… RCTP really is a completely different airport these days. 2x parallel 12K ft runways with CAT II capable ILS and ALS in all directions, ASDE-X/Surface Surveillance Radar in the movement area for ground controllers, A-VDGS at the major gates, and runway guard lights/Wig-Wags. This accident had a major impact on surface movement safety and operations close to/at the minima at RCTP.

[@tomdonis4315]

Isn't this largely on the airport here? Could be missing something

[@melonycrumpet]

I keep checking for a new video…..thanks for this
