How Did Scandinavian Flight 751 Survive This? | Mayday Air Disaster

[@hood_TheJoker]

it's a rare thing to have a plane break up after crashing and everybody survives.. what a lucky flight if there's such a thing after crashing

[@billrivenbark8983]

I think it was brave of him to admit that he would never be 100% again as a Pilot and chose to retire. He knew that other peoples lives depended upon it and he didn’t let his ego or love of flying prevent that.

[@Jai_205]

43:53 As an aviation lover myself. I could feel the sadness in his eyes and voice when he had to leave aviation. 😢

[@jackiwheeler6963]

So sad

[@dash8brj]

yeah, I had the waterworks start up when I heard he couldn't bring himself to fly again. Gutted.

[@chubby51440]

Can we just say that the captain is a hero, not just for saving the plane the best he could but also for knowing it was best for everyone that he walk away from flying. I can't think of anything more selfless.

[@jackiwheeler6963]

Massively addicted to this program. And I don't even fly!!

[@michaelspeakman351]

Good job Captain, your amazing. You did everything right and everyone lived through that dangerous situation. I applaud you and the way you handled yourself. It was some computer programmer that took away your ability for you to save the airplane and that problem should be rectified. That computer should not have taken your control away from you since you where doing what was necessary to answer to the situation. Praise God for a wonderful outcome to what surely could have been a real tragedy

[@jdrissel]

Gee, a system the pilots and airlines didn't know existed needed to be deactivated to prevent a crash... Remind anyone of the Max? That's a lesson written in blood that no one seems to have recognized yet...

[@kurtvanluven9351]

Over automation can lead to reliance and complacency. Even worse is when it is unknown or forced upon an operator.

[@JosephRutherford-t9n]

One thing that save this this plane was that it was a DC9. And what I mean is that the engines were at the back of the plane and not underneath the wing so it made smooth landing on what ever the captain was able to land on either water or land.

[@Owen_loves_Butters]

The engine placement caused the problem in the first place. Engines mounted under the wings wouldn't have ingested the ice flying off of said wings.

I’ve never seen this one before. I thought I’d seen them all. I’m so glad that everyone was okay, it must have been terrifying. Kudos to the captain for standing down when he realised he was never going to be the same again. I hope he found another passion to pursue in life.

[@yottaforce]

He went into politics for a few years. Then he slid out of publicity.

[@taaurus13]

Before I started watching this channel I never really thought about how many people are responsible for making sure a plane can safely get people from point A to point B. Bc you’re not just trusting the pilots w/your life - you’re trusting every mechanic who’s ever even TOUCHED that specific plane, the people loading baggage/cargo & de-icing your plane, every ATC who instructs your pilots, the people who wash it, every person involved in building that specific plane & programmed the computer system. And apparently also the people at the airline who are responsible for educating the pilots on computer system on that plane. Bc these pilots wouldn’t have crashed if they had all the info they should have. Amazing landing tho! I’ve also learned (watching these episodes) that there are way too many uneducated/incompetent/inexperienced/unqualified/arrogant pilots out there and I think that scares me most. These people were very lucky to have these 3 guys in the cockpit.

[@mariezurie7828]

If Scandinavian Airlines didn't know it was added, how then, did the investigatory report condemn the cockpit crew for not knowing? If correct the 3rd pilot entering the cockpit was very valuable. He kept the pilot focused on what straight ahead. Sad that Stefan was unable to return😢

[@Holy.HannaH]

@@mariezurie7828 I think they condemned the fact that the pilots didn't know and hadn't even been made aware of it's existence rather than condemning the pilots themselves.

[@gaylealleluia8392]

Right. It was the airlines fault. No one was made aware of this new piece of equipment, no procedures given and so the airline was found at fault

[@tinktinkbell97]

You know, it’s great that no one died in this accident. However, it is also sad because the pilot (who was not ultimately to blame for the incident) had to give up the thing he loved doing. But you also have to respect him for making that decision because if he didn’t feel like he could trust the aircraft (or possibly himself), then it could prove to potentially be life saving (in a way) in the future.

[@vahanyazarian5582]

thank You for exiting video.What a fine crew!

[@watchgoose]

exciting rather than exit ing.

[@teoteous]

I know it is untrue but after watching this series 'state of the art' sounds a lot like 'X days until retirement'.

[@JohnnyDi]

It's a good thing someone was filming all this from inside the plane, in the cockpit, and even outside, so we can watch it now.

[@lrx54]

One more example cameras are needed on the outside of the plane

[@watchgoose]

and today cameras are tiny, cheap, and plentiful. No excuse not to work them into the design.

[@MrMysteriousDm]

I can almost guarantee you. The reason why they didn't tell them about the new system is because they didn't want people to try in throttle down just before the system kick in

[@zxy78267]

At the end, it said the loss of the pilot's career, and a love affair. I was confused, because I was waiting for them to say that one of the pilots was dating a flight attendant, and they broke up. But now I'm guessing they meant the love of flying.

[@catharinaeinarsson]

I remember this incident, as all Swedes must do who are old enough. Here it is called "Miraklet i Gottröra" - The Miracle in Gottröra. Now Sweden has deteriorated, but at that time we still thought that everything was safe and secure in Sweden, so it was such a shock that something like that could happen with a SAS plane. SAS had a very high status then. Not so much now anymore...

[@pathosfear6290]

@catharinaeinarsson What do you mean deteriorated? All statistics but one show things are much safer now than in the 90's, aviation most of all. The outlier is the fact that people *feel* less safe, they trust authorities and institutions less but you can blame sensationalist clickbait media for that, I assume. That's a global phenomenon not unique to Sweden.

[@JustVisiting-q1w]

This captain's decision to use the top of the trees to slow down its crash landing probably contributed to saving all the passengers on board the plane. That flight ended badly for no fault of his own. And yet, it cost him his career. Talk about unfair.

[@Shutup679netfall]

[@charlesmusanya5016]

I was thinking aloud, why don't they mount two extra engines with independent operating systems to fall back on in case the initial engines fail as opposed to even making de-touchable engines to the aircraft bordy with a parachute which also is a good idea

[@charlesmusanya5016]

And how could a plane modified with new safte features released in the air without information or trying the pilots.

[@itanasoaie]

Wrong information! It was an MD-81 not a DC-9

[@chrisgast]

The pilots stayed calm and landed the plane properly under the circumstances.

[@RonPiggott]

Sounds similar to the MCAS accidents

[@bradr2142]

Why do airline manufacturers build planes with technology then dont tell the pilots about it. They need to be put in prison. Thsts criminal to do that to those pilots and the flying public. He was a good pilot and still is today id fly with that pilot.

[@VNAV_PTH]

I still remember to this day that "Scandinavian" on the fuselage was covered by white paint after the crash. I mean, come on...

[@Southmoor63105]

Ok, this is simply a remarkable outcome for any aircraft with no engines. My question: Why was there no fire if the previous leg from Zurich overfilled the plane with gas. More importantly, why did no one think to dump the fuel before crashing?

[@yottaforce]

The plane wasn't overfilled. They'd just taking on a significant amount of spare fuel. They sometimes do that for various reasons. Mentour pilot (A Swedish pilot) has a video about that. Since it wasn't overfilled, no fire. Under any circumstances, overfilling doesn't cause fire per se. Secondly, since the accident happened in a few minutes they had very little time to dump fuel. The first priority was to get the engines going again producing whatever trust they could so they could return to the airport. Given what we know now, that was futile, but not something they could have known back then.

[@ryanleveille9782]

So a system in the airplane nobody knows about.... Hmmm I think I just heard this with the max airplane.... Learn history or it repeats.

Not sure if the communication between pilots depicted here is accurate, but it seems very poor. They seems startled the whole time and just staring at the instruments instead of focusing on what they can actually control. Although very traumatic experience for sure, no one died, so his decision to retire seems a bit of softy move.
