The city of Milan, is one of the largest cities in Italy. Nestled away in the North of the country, Milan is served by two primary airports which bare the city’s name. The larger Malpensa airport, and the smaller airport located closer to the city itself, Linate. On October 8th, 2001, this airport would become the scene of a devastating accident which claimed the lives of 118 people. This video is about that accident. It’s a tale of how two planes collided on the runway at this airport. It involves many aspects like many disasters. From the weather to the actions of those involved to the actual airport itself, there is a lot to go over as we discuss the Linate Airport Disaster.

You said the citation called at 7:58 for start up clearance and Was told the take off slot time is 6:19, that seems odd,

[@Harley-and-Her-Ruff-Riders]

A couple things: 3 of the 4 people in the Cessna survived at first. They died waiting for help, as people saw the plane that exploded first and went there. Likewise, there's a chance some of the DC87 survived - if I knew I was going down, I'd have something soft over my head to protect me the best I could from being knocked out. (It worked in a 1970s crash for a man where the rest of his section died.) So I wonder how many were unconscious and woke up dying. They incorrectly named the short runway. Since 2001, they repaved in 2019 and I'm guessing someone assumed "let me check that the compass reading from 1930 matches the 2019 one." It didn't. The short runway isn't true north and south (360/180 on an airline compass, so 36/18). It's actually 350/170 and is now 35/17. The radar was approved to be replaced in 1995. It was then decommissioned due to age in 1999. They had the new one partially installed but then didn't finish it. So they didn't even have access to a crippled system. And they were known to say things like "You're cleared for the main runway." That makes no sense. Finally, 35/17 is pretty useless. It's under 2000 feet. I need at least 1000ft to take off in a Cessna 152. The Cessna jet requires over 3,500 feet. But the airport was built in 1930 so I'm guessing it was a pretty popular strip back then.

[@Harley-and-Her-Ruff-Riders]

Oh! And they had their capacity downgraded. They were allowed 32 planes an hour. Now it's 22 by law.

This was almost completely the airport's fault. Ground radar removed and not fixed for 2 years even though it clearly didn't take more than a few months to fix it when they did, weird airport design, poor naming, separate frequencies for 2 planes on the ground taxi-ing by the runway, ATC not even having correctly labeled maps of their own airport, visual identification being the only way in a

[@davidjma7226]

It's Italy.......things are bit chaotic there when it comes to litigation!

[@Harley-and-Her-Ruff-Riders]

Gross negligence could fit, maybe, if it was an airport all ran by one person but each department is in charge of their own stuff. The airport was built in 1930 when a local strip couldn't handle commercial traffic. And they probably got lazy over the years, which is unexcusable but to be fair, until 2001 there wasn't a ton of standards that all countries followed. However yes, these issues all deserved a termination: 1. New radar was approved in 1995, and the old was decommissioned and removed in 1999. The airport is at fault, including whoever is in charge of the systems. They had already partly installed some of it and then just stopped. 2. Two channels may have been built not to both handle 36, but for west to handle departures off the much smaller 35. (See below for renaming.) That is definitely only a runway for turbos, and I'm guessing private pilots use it. I did check and 35 was too small for the Cessna (it's about 2,000ft while the jet needs at least 3,600ft). But yes, one single radio is necessary so pilots can hear each other. 3. The smaller runway was named wrong. They're named for the direction they face. 360 is true north, so the big runway is 36/18. But they resurfaced the asphalt in 2019 and I guess someone decided to check a compass but I saw it immediately in the video: 36L and 36R were not totally parallel. When rechecked, it was discovered the smaller runway faced 350 and 170, while the larger faced 360 and 180 (true N and S). So - 35/17 and 36/18 are the runways. Also explains why S4 wasn't on there, when they literally never checked even compass headings to compare 1930 to today. 4. Grounds should've taken care of the signs. But if it was just that R6 turned into S4, grounds mightve viewed it as nothing since all the controller just referred to the entire thing as R6. I also wonder what their budget was, when they couldn't replace signs and when radar was ignored for so long. 5. Apparently ATC was so undertrained that they even used terms like "main runway" instead of 36. So if you didn't know the airport, you'd be confused. It also leads me to believe that there was some sort of huge mass hiring or something where training was rushed because that is in no way excusable in any airspace. Finally... the good news is that the limit by law was changed from 32 planes per hour to 22 allowed. And they seem to be back into caring as while they're only a domestic airport with likely small planes, they resurfaced everything in 2019.

[@Harley-and-Her-Ruff-Riders]

Oh, and I hope the airport was sued and had to pay family, especially considering they let the survivors die. 3 of the 4 people in the Cessna survived but died due to not getting rapid care for injuries. It wasn't a fire that burned them but they probably bled out, especially considering the Cessna was noticed and cared for second if I remember other reports right. Plus I bet you many of those in the DC87 didn't die on impact. The back passengers were all burned. They could've survived the initial crash (people had long enough to realize and I know of at least one crash survivor in another crash survived by covering his head and face with pillows and then his head with his leather coat for fire) and then burned when the tanks exploded. But what about the people in the middle? The ones who maybe didn't have as much blunt force trauma, could've been knocked out, and then died from smoke and fire? I highly doubt these were all instant, especially as he got the Cessna wrong.

The difference is that the SAS crew did nothing wrong. The worst air crashes are where a crew at fault is about to die and there is nothing they can do. I only hope the SAS crew wasn’t thinking “what did we do wrong?” when they saw that building approaching going 160mph but something tells me that crossed their mind.

I find it very strange that it is not mandatory to have ground radar at a busy airport. This accident shows how critical having ground radar is.

[@MovieMakingMan]

It’s capitalism. Companies decided to not pay for a radar system. When companies do everything for profit it leads to accidents and deaths. Making short term profits is always more important to companies than long term gains based on responsible decisions.

[@laceneil4570]

They did have a ground radar system at Linate. Sadly, it was, at the time of the disaster, packed in boxes in a warehouse and hadn't been installed. That's why the authorities managed to install it in record time after the accident, shame they couldn't be arsed to do it sooner.

[@barcodeguy7627]

I watched the Green Dot Aviation video about this crash, they actually had the ground radar hardware stored in a warehouse somewhere on the airport premises for ~7 years but never installed it.

[@EpicJoshua314]

10:46 Both Citation pilots and one passenger survived the collision but were trapped and died of smoke inhalation. Had the rescue services arrived sooner then they most likely would have survived. Another point to mention is that the Linate controllers used slang terms to describe taxiways and runways such as " The Main Taxiway", " The Main Apron", " The Main Runway" leading to great confusion to pilots who had never flown to Linate before.

[@DisasterBreakdown]

Thanks for the extra information. Might see if I can trim the part about the citation occupants if its not exactly right. Thanks

[@grmpEqweer]

I had a weird thought... What if taxiways were all identified by colors, and were marked with big painted stripes of that color down the middle of each taxiway? And then reserve *number designations only for runways.* That way, if someone is taxiing in the fog, and they see the wrong color stripe, they know they are lost. If they see NO STRIPE, they're lost on a runway, and the tower can halt takeoffs until position is determined. Edit: This is redundant with ground radar...but redundant layers of safety protocols aren't a bad idea. Besides, stuff breaks.

Well, considering all other forms of transportation, yes they are. But I never imagined you could fill an entire quality KZbin channel with regular videos of plane accidents. On another note, I'm the kind of person that grips the seat in front of them when the pilot is turning to align the plane for the landing. I'm terrified of being on a step ladder.

[@refutonefandus]

Most of the accidents are old, we're talking 20-30+ years old. Also there's incidents all the time, but most are minor and only involve stuff like a warning light not going off or an alarm sounding and the pilots returning to the airport out of caution. You also need to consider scale. These accidents are severe, but when you look at the hundreds to thousands of flights *every day* they are basically a statistical anomaly. In the trauma care world, there's a saying: The lessons learned here were taught in blood. We're human, not going to get everything right all the time, so you always see of ways for people to improve things after each disaster.

[@pissant145]

This was one of THE BEST visualisations of this disaster! THANKYOU! This was the worst crash of an SAS plane of all times. And the pilots were cleared of any and all misdoings. The Linate Airport was to blame, and those Germans were not legally allowed to land at Linate in the first place.

[@robertmcghintheorca49]

I mentioned that the Citation pilots accidentally took taxiway R6 instead of taxiway R5 due to faded taxiway markings, but there are actually two reasons aside from the fog as to why they and the ground controller didn't catch their mistake. The first, as mentioned in the video is that as when the taxiway stops at the freehold of what was then numbered as runway 18R/36L, now numbered as runway 17/35, the taxiway then changes from R6 into S4. However, it wasn't registered as S4 on official diagrams of the airport. The second reason is that the ground controller's terminology in reference to the runways, aprons and taxiways were substandard. He referred to what was numbered at the time as runway 18L/36R, now numbered runway 18/36 as the main runway. He also referred to the north apron as the main apron. He even referred to taxiway R5 and the taxiway parallel to the runway as the main taxiway. This poor terminology by the controller might have lead the Citation pilots to believing that they were going the right way.

[@rileyfaelan]

(5:14) There may be a typo in the on-screen name of the first officer, in that Schneider is a common German name, and Scheinder, while not totally implausible, would be pretty unusual for a name.

CRIMINAL. 6 - SIX - Years before this completely unavoidable accident the funding for a new Ground Radar was approved. The Radar System was eventually delivered, but had been sitting in its crates in a terminal for nearly two years before this accident. Linate Airport was run worse than a Banana Republic. The Director & Technical Staff was just as much, or even more to blame than the ATC. And the German Cessna Crew who committed the incursion was presumably suffering from get-there-itis, which we know is a potentially Lethal Disease. They must take a fair share of the blame for this tragedy, but at the end of the day, the main reason for this Totally Preventable Tragedy rests completely on the Airport Leadership, or total lack thereof. Not only is it Criminal to operate an International Airport without Ground Radar, especially when the radar is sitting "down stairs" collecting dust, but the fact that the Director supplied ATC with Charts that were incomplete and had a highly confusing designation of Taxiways is right out Criminal. Unfortunately, they wouldn't pay the highest price for their Crimes. The the two Crews, Passengers and four Ground Crew did. Hopefully such idiots will never be put in charge of a major airport ever again… - But judging from the Insanity of Identity Politics, that's exactly what is happening now in America, where people are hired on a Racist Basis and not whether or not they are actually the most Qualified for the Job…

Oh yeah i feel like it's the first time in my life some stranger listened to a suggestion of mine. But that's probably just because i have a shitty memory. Hell, you might not even be the guy i suggested this to. Anyways, thank you faceless stranger.

Irony is that if USSR had kept existing today, we would have had super carriers with 1000 - 1500 passenger capacities flying around, would been horrific if just ONE of those crashed.

The firemen sprayed wet water all over the firey fire.

I find these videos very interesting!!! My question is. Why do they say may day may day! When they know foresure there going to crash???? I would be like fuck this we all dying!!!!! Pray to what ever God you believe in

[@IrishEddie317]

Can't begin to say how many videos like this I have watched where the accident's primary cause was crappy weather. Why don't pilots just say "Screw this. My life is more important than flying today."

[@gregoryhawkins9172]

It was a accidental accent that accidentally happened.

I had never heard of the Linate Airport disaster until now. It was completely preventable. The 110 people in both planes and the 4 people in the hangar didn't deserve to die the way that they did! ☹️
