Indonesia's Aviation Nightmare: Terrifying Flight 574 Disaster | Mayday: Air Disaster

[@marigeobrien]

Mayday is such a great show. Their production values are top-notch. The writing, acting and directing -- compared to other, similar shows (such as Forensic Files, FBI Files, New Detectives, etc.) -- are so much better and the use of CGI when needed is superior to many movies. Last but not least is that, by making sure the actors closely resemble the actual people they are portraying ensures there is never any confusion as to who is who in the re-enactments. This is a genuinely great show. In doing all this, each story honors the victims and gives their lose meaning. Plus, I have learned so much about how the airline industry functions and especially how much effort is put into accident investigations.

I feel bad for all the cameramen who died to bring us this footage.

[@kkdd3844]

I remember vividly that era of Indonesian aviation. Every month I would hear some incident with air travels, either plane skidding off the runways or something else. Delays are very common, sometimes up to 4 -6 hours. But that's the least of the concern. Everytime i board a plane, i knew i roll the dice. Adam Air was one of the worst accident that really shook the whole system. Flight safety is much better nowadays, and I do well to remember that every time I travel using aircraft, my safety is the culmination of all the efforts from people that work to make flying safe and the lives lost to give us the hard lesson about errors and how to prevent them.

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

My uncle died in this flight. Years after, I worked with one of Adam Air's stewardess once, she told me that she was meant to be in the flight because she keep asking to be assigned routes that goes to Manado because she want to visit her parents. She got assigned this one but had to decline because she was attending Church for New Year service that day. Her attitude is kind of comforting, she told me that every crew onboard have this mentality of "if we died, then we died" so they will be much more prepared.

ADAMAir’s owner named the company Adam because her defunct son, whose name is Adam, wanted to be a pilot. The second crash was perfectly available if after this crash the company had been grounded for further controls and investigations on the company’s pilots training and aircraft maintenance and periodic controls on the conditions of the aircrafts used.

Whether it be because of its actual merits in technological advancements with their equipment, which being the US can afford the best of the best, most often than most other countries or because the NTSB is simply better prepared due to its very stringent regulations and demands on those that work within the department. I believe most nations want the NTSB involved because they more than likely don't give a damn who resolves the mystery of what killed all aboard unlike some here in this comment section seemingly offended by the frequent involvement of the most sophisticated and advanced plane crash detection team on Earth, instead these countries in which these accidents occur want to give answers to the families of the victims.

[@kevinquist]

a pilot and mentor of mine. ALWAYS flies with a bottle of water in a tight cup holder on the dash. Why? as he put it. gages go bad. ears trick you. water obeys gravity. its not an absolute but a fail safe guide.

[@nickv4073]

I wouldn't trust this pilot let alone "mentor" me. Thats HORSE HOCKEY. The movement of liquid in an airplane can give completely contradictory evidence to the movement of the aircraft. In any coordinated movement of the aircraft, the g-forces in the aircraft are going to be felt as a vector perpendicular to the wings and pointing straight to the floor of the aircraft. In which case, the liquid in the bottle will remain level from the perspective of the pilot. Even when the aircraft is inverted (upside-down) or in a steep downward spiral into the ground. If you are in a coordinated turn with positive g-forces, the liquid will appear level. If you roll level out of the bank that is producing the turn too quickly, the liquid will falsely present a banking turn in the opposite direction. This will cause the pilot to re-enter the original banking turn. If you swirl the liquid, even slowly like in a turn, the liquid will continue to when the actual turn stops. The liquid’s momentum will cause this. If you accelerate or decelerate in a straight line, the will slosh forward or backward. This will give the impression that the aircraft is pitching nose up or nose down. There are other effects that would make both your inner ear and the half-full bottle untrustworthy indicators of attitude. That is why a gyro-stabilized Attitude Indicator is used instead. It’s gyroscopic rigidity in space makes its accuracy possible.patial disorientation, and what can stop it?

[@VidWatcher-v4j]

I have no clue what you stated so I'll agree with you. :)

[@steelyx]

@@VidWatcher-v4j If the plane is not effected by alot of g-forces, water will lean with the plane. The problem is when other g-forces push against the water which can trick the pilot.

Why didn't the pilots advise ATC that they were having equipment issues and ask for help returning to and maintaining the correct course, AND avoiding any severe weather? Why didn't at least one of the pilots give priority to flying the airplane the "old fashioned" way when it became obvious that the airplane wasn't doing it for them?

I've never been in that sort of situation nor overheard it while on frequency, but it sounds like ATC is yelling out after a non-comm flight on its way to peril, you've been dumped and we're not responsible for your safe passage anymore! Is that standard protocol?! Seems like a rather quick abandonment of responsibility and a CYA to protect ATC from liability. Contrast with two years later when US Air 1549 with both engines taken out by geese was headed for the freezing Hudson River… ATC kept calling even when there was no response, arranging and offering clearances to airports and runways in every direction, never giving up.

[@Grey-Wraith]

​@@Romaniathebest326 He's not, that's exactly what brought down the airline, it's literal. There are accidents where airlines are cutting corners, usually financially and such "budget" airlines hold risks. They are indeed "Too good to be true"

[@Southamericangirl42]

@Grey-Wraith I agree but I flew with a budget airline for the first time in my life this year. There were seats with extra room for one's legs and I booked one of those just for fun 'cause I'm short. Honestly, it was great: great takeoff, great cabin personnel, great flight, great landing.

[@jetblackjoy]

Maybe the safety culture in Indonesian aviation has improved since 2008 but there are still many people around the world who simply can't afford safety. Let me give you an example. Over the past few years, most of the Russian taxi market used a local service like Uber (who was forced out of the country by the sanctions). To use the service the drivers must comply with the regulations and it's own standards: have a taxi license and proper rest, mainain the car well, be high-rated, ect. But guess what? People are apalled with the prices and now more and more are starting to order shady taxis in small Telegram groups. Public transport don't reach a lot of places and it's difficult and scary to use when your mobility is limited. Many choose those fishy taxis because the prices are more affordable.

There is technology that they could put on every plane that could find a downed plane. Would send a ping to local satalites at a crash site. They are starting to put them in submarines so why not planes. Price and greed

When I was still in elementary school, my family and I used Adam Air to travel home from Padang to Jakarta, at that time Adam Air was a red flag because there were many problems such as slipping on the runway and falling into the sea, and at that time the cheapest ticket was Adam Air so my father bought it there I thought why my father dared to use Adam Air when the airline had so many problems, after we were in the air I was not calm in the plane, what if this plane crashed, and thank god, we landed safely in Jakarta

From my point of view: How is it possible to lose the most important device like artificial horizont for 30s???? Especially in this kind of weather.

[@generaljacksoncsa]

No modern aircraft should have a black out of some instruments when switching from one mode to another.............Unacceptable.

[@tomorrow4eva]

I don't think it's possible not to have a blackout. There will always be at least a tiny time between one system cutting out and the next cutting in. Machines are not magical.

[@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549]

I think this aircraft was built in the 1980s

[@AtleBerven]

Investigator Crookshanks? Hahahaha 🙂 Jolly good name. I must say.

[@AB-tc8lx]

Can someone tell me why when the technology fails? The pilot won't turn it off and just fly the plane with a compass setting and the artificial horizon. I don't understand because they started flying that way. And then it's like they refuse to go back to that.

[@tomorrow4eva]

It's too big. You cannot do it like you can in a small plane. That's like trying to pilot a cruise ship the same way you would a dinghy.

[@AB-tc8lx]

@tomorrow4eva You can turn the auto pilot off. And fly with the compass and horizon monitor I know you can because, in one of these crashes, a Brazilian pilot flew a 747 like that For years he preferred to do that. He was in a crash but it was because of fuel and it was real tiring but he had a lot of muscles and he preferred to fly that big old plane, that way.

I'm speaking from a place of total ignorance, but I'm more in disbelief that no search attempts were made until 7 months in. Cheap, greedy, stingy, bankrupt etc airline aside - why did the government not step in? Imagine not getting any more news about your lost loved ones or friends for 7 months after their whole flight went missing.

So what happened to the owner of Adam Air??

[@LoneSheWolf09]

The founder, Agung Laksono, did not invest his money in Adam Air; instead, he simply used it for political gain. The another founder, Sandra Ang, was arrested and banned from leaving Indonesia for embezzling over 200 million dollars from Adam Air.

Do the life jackets found by the submersible mean there were survivors forced to tread water long after the craah until they drowned from exhaustion?

[@tomorrow4eva]

I think sometimes they can be inflated by the forces in the crash. So I hope not

[@LolaClementine]

Adam Air was banned from flying after numerous warnings by the Authorities. The Airline itself declared bankruptcy in June 2008

[@LiesureSuitLarry]

whenever someone says, "money's not everything"... yeah, tell that to the families of this crash. No money, no looky for blackboxes. Cry all ya want. Money is the most important. Just do what you can to make as much money as you legally can.

[@ingenious5699]

Pilots should have better nervous systems, be quick thinkers, and retain what they learn in their training programs. Pilots also should be very cautious and prepared mentally to meet any bad or worse situation if that happens how would they be able to tackle that specific situation. Pilots should also try to fly the plane without autopilot during the flight so that they would know how the plane reacts.
