Iberia 610 "The Basque Tragedy"

[@callingoutmayday]

All my video content is FREE, but, as I hope you can appreciate for yourself, 'a huge' amount of time & effort goes into their production. So, if you've enjoyed what I've done & would like to recognise all that hard work by buying me a coffee no matter what size, I'd be delighted !! … www.buymeacoffee.com/callingoutW Might also convince my wife that it's a good idea to keep doing this stuff 😂

I personally apprecite the detail you go into to cover these crashes, but to be honest you’re going to face an uphill battle with other YT channels that are covering the same crashes in fifteen minutes or less, people have very short attention spans and don’t want to sit through an hour of a story that others are covering in a fraction of that time. Again, your coverage is impeccable but you go into way too much detail. Your crash sequences are the most realistic and better than any other channels, maybe use them as your intro and summarize the story for future episodes. Good luck and I will keep watching regardless. 😂👍

What en excellent accident analysis! Thank you very much for that! Subscribed! As a retired airline pilot I have seen all the 3 previously mentioned altimeter layouts in my career - fortunately never this very unfortunate drum type layout. But alas: Published minimum altitudes have to be meticulously maintained it's really only our sole insurance against CFIT (apart from GPWS nowadays)....

[@michaelpcooksey5096]

A very nice walk through debrief for a pilot to pilot exchange... not so much for the layman ... but general concepts appeared anyway. Thank you for the video.

[@Badgersj]

I don't know why this channel isn't more heavily supported. The technical analysis is excellent and beautifully laid out (in proper grammatical English). Perhaps there's not enough over-dramatic reenactment, presenters walking diagonally across the screen talking to the camera over the shoulder and all that rubbish.

[@callingoutmayday]

Many thanks Badgersj. You’re subtle sarcasm is appreciated every bit as much as your kind words 👍😜

[@Vladimirthetiny]

It could be even better without the melancholy piano lounge/massage studio music

[@Badgersj]

The photographs of the people involved in the search and rescue are so poignant, you can see on their faces what they must have seen.

TY for your comprehensive account of this tragedy -- I was previously unaware that navigational charts had not been updated following the erection of the TV antenna in proximity to the airport. This egregious -- though, sadly, not unprecedented -- oversight begs the question: had the crew been aware that there was an obstacle in their flight path twenty-eight metres higher than the published datum, might they have monitored their altitude on approach more diligently?

HOW SAD

[@fillipo1972]

Loving your content sir. Please tell me exactly where in Ireland that accent is from?? as it matches exactly the guy from The Chase on TV

[@callingoutmayday]

Have travelled a lot …… but Dublin born & bred 😜

[@SimonWallwork]

I once did a level bust going into Glasgow. We were descending in VS, and I reduced the VS using the VS wheel just as the thing started to capture 3000'. It disarmed the 'Alt Capture' mode and we were down to 2600' in seconds. It's easy to go wrong with these old systems and procedures.

[@travelwithtony5767]

It’s because his videos go into way too much detail about the crashes he covers, when people ask you what time it is, they don’t want to hear how a watch is made..nobody has an hour to waste watching an airplane crash video that other channels are covering in fifteen minutes. Just sayin.

[@callingoutmayday]

Evening @travelwithtony5767 Completely understand the point your trying to make, but, in acknowledging that fact, I think, with respect, your missing what it is I’m trying to do. ……. There are many really good content creators out there who are mass producing these ‘15 minute’ videos, & absolutely nothing wrong with that. BUT ……. what I have deliberately set out to do is inject nearly 40 years of aviation experience into a far more in-depth analysis of these accidents ….. for those who want to delve a little deeper than blockbuster superficiality. (Absolutely no offence intended) After all the Titanic was a massive engineering & human disaster ….. not simply a boat that sprung a leak.

[@FastFatman]

Too much detail for who? For those of us that are fascinated by aviation the detail is greatly appreciated. Your right, other channels will cover it in 15 minutes, and you learn nothing more sophisticated or technical than, yes, an airplane crashed.You can view the NTSB aviation accident database that will give you the date, type aircraft, location and fatalities if you want to keep it simple and short.

[@davidbeattie1366]

On the bright side, one can go to Wikipedia , look up Iberia 610 and read the same information in 5 minutes.

[@eucliduschaumeau8813]

I can easily read most altimeters, but the drum altimeter that you showed was indecipherable and confusing. I have no clue what altitude it is displaying.

[@Shamrock100]

There is no frequency 138.5 in the aviation VHF band. Maybe 128.5 or 135.8?

[@beatmueller6490]

I don't recall hearing of the Captain's "Pilot Monitoring" failures being attributed by the relevant Air Crash Investigation Team as a significant contributor to the Fatal Collision. Was it not?

[@markotango54]

I wonder if the Capt took a Power Nap after Departure hence the FO preforming both PF+PNF duties? That Altitude Alert confusion was a classic case of confirmation Biase.

Deadliest year in aviation history 1985

'Murphy's Law'

[@valinormons]

There once was a guy named Murphy who perhaps made one of the most profound statements ever made. "If anything can go wrong it will."
