I grew up in San Francisco and worked for Lockheed ground support at SFO in the '80s. This is an excellent video that shows the Bay Area just as it is. The big problem in the '70s was that the new, heavy 747s stressed out the runways, which were landfill done around WWII. They constantly required repairs, but the problem wasn't being solved. Millions were spent after this near-tragedy to deeply reinforce the runways.

@@riverwildcat1 The aircraft would have lifted in time had it rotated earlier (i.e. at a slower speed). However the pilot was waiting for it to reach the incorrect and too high VR speed and so held it on the ground until it was too far down the runway to clear the obsticles. Using a higher flap setting means that while it can be rotated earlier and with slower (and so steeper) climb-out, the accelleration during the takeoff roll is lower (more drag).

The engineers won, there were 4 hydraulic systems on the 747 and the thought was this flight would have crashed without that extra backup system.

On June 24, 1982, a British Airways 747 flying at 32,000 ft. to Jakarta, Indonesia, Flight 009, experienced St. Elmo's Fire over the whole fuselage, and in minutes, the front windshield was almost opaque and all four engines quit. They couldn't see on radar that a dry volcanic ash cloud had risen higher than they were, and it had sandblasted everything outside, and choked the engines with volcanic grit. All they had for power was the auxiliary power unit and the onboard batteries. Soon they passed through the cloud and miraculously restarted three of the four engines. They landed safely with no casualties. Talk about great pilot training! And fantastically well engineered turbofan engines.

The 747 was an amazing aircraft. Triple redundancy. Very buoyant for all it's weight and mass. It didn't want to fall out of the sky like other aircraft. The landing attested to the skill of the captain. One issue however on the 747 was the location of various input switches. The were reversed on the 747 as opposed to the 707, which pilots upgraded from. This incident, in my opinion is more of a communication problem as to the overall condition of the runways. Pilots should have personally notified via bulletins or otherwise. This is where it all began. Remember pilots lives are just important to themselves as are the passengers and aircraft. They don't want to die.

With 10 degrees Flap on the longer runway, the V-Speeds are higher. Selecting a 20 degree Flap setting means correspondingly lower V Speeds. Put another way, V1 is "takeoff safety speed", commonly referred as "Go/No go". Point is to be able to abort BEFORE V1 and have room to stop. So, lower V1 means lower VR, and the Flap settings are increased to accommodate the lower speed after lifting off.

Looking at a shorter runway the pilots went for a 20deg flap. That's a good decision. Then they didn't reduce the V1,Vr speeds & kept the higher V1, Vr value of flap 10deg.. Other than eating up some extra runway length, a higher ground speed for take off is good & safe isn't it ? One can get a better lift & can climb at a higher pitch rate.

"Little" things (and there is NO such thing in aviation) fell through the cracks, ending up as a perfect storm of errors. Including the actual landing footage was amazing !!!

I always had fear to heights, of course that meant getting on a plane was a terrifying thing to me, in my life i only have travel in a plane 5 times and i still have fear to it. But these videos are fascinating to me, learning so much about the technical aspects of flying makes me see it with another eyes, the amount of work that pilots and crew members do is immense and of course you expect them to perform their duties flawlessly because people's lives are involved, but you can see that sometimes, human errors are inevitable. Cheers from Spain and keep up the good work!

11:05-Plane must've still been quite heavy, that's one helluva bounce! Hard landing, tyres blown, but everyone walked off the plane. So, a good landing!

Well, except the guy with his leg nearly ripped off and the passenger with a crushed arms and at the back injuries deplaning due to the tilt of the aircraft and the wind. But yeah, overall great that there were no deaths.

Best news to read here is that all survive and even better no serious injuries. Although the metal that penetrated the aircraft must have been scary! I always think it’s impossible to get better and better with these videos but you do! As other have said the transition from simulator image to real footage of the aircraft landing is seamless. Thanks and I look forward to the next one! 👏👍

Maybe close runways completely for any repairs or alterations, so pilots don't need to recalculate their distances and speeds at the last moment to fit onto and take off from a truncated runway?

The real footage transition was incredible. WoW. Thanks for this outstanding video. I'm not a pilot, but it's almost inconceivable to me that 5 flight crew in the cockpit (with thousands of hours of collective flying) would overlook what appears to be a most elementary function of recalculating speed and other measures once they knew they were on a shorter runway. That seems like something a basic private pilot would know to do. I guess that's why there has been so much research (and many improvements!) in crew resource management over the decades. Does anyone in the comments think these kinds of oversights would happen today, or have the ATCs improved markedly along with the pilots being much more well-trained in CRM ?

Brilliantly edited between the live footage and the simulation - I had never heard of that Pan Am very close call - I wonder how they "retrained" the flight deck crew or if they were booted out....

Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Pan Am headquarters building, in Miami, is still in Coconut Grove / Dinner Key. It is use as the Miami City Hall. I grew up 1 mile or so from the building in the 1960's. I used to swim with the Manatees in the surrounding Biscayne Bay.

Great video. M y Dad worked for Pan Am in the 80's at Heathrow and would have worked on N747PA. She didn't get her Clipper name Juan Trippe until 1981 after the great man died. A good landing is one you can walk away from, a great landing is one you can use the plane after.
