Deadliest Crash in Aviation | Mayday Air Disaster

[@SolidAvenger1290]

Mayday forgot to mention that Air Canada demoted Captain Pearson for six months, and First Officer Maurice Quintal was suspended for two weeks after the incident. They more or less tried to blame the aircrew, but overall, it was Air Canada's poor training and disrepair of maintaining critical & new equipment for their aircraft.

[@gingerpink1661]

The airplane disaster that may have happened with Gimli is nothing short of a miracle and luck. The fact the pilot knew the landing area by heart, knowing how to do a slip and was expierienced. The fact that the drag racers were done for the day and having a bbq so the race way was clear of cars and people. The fact that the nose failed and saved those boys from getting squashed. And the weather didnt have any storms or high winds or anything that may disrupt the plane. If any one of these factors were out, the damage and disaster wouldve been massive. Also, the image of those two boys trying to out run a crashing plane is so funny. Imagine racing with your friend on the raceway with your bikes. All of a sudden you hear a noise and glancing behind a MASSIVE PLANE IS SPEEDING TOWARD YOU. And in your panic you start pedaling WHILE STILL ON THE TRACK away as fast as you can. Absolutely no one is going to beat that story

Gimli is an amazing story.

Or not. The flip side to this is not to let curiosity get the better of you and you and everyone else will be ok. I aint too keen on giving kudos to pilots who like to explore just to satisfy a deadly curiosity. Theirs and theirs alone at the expenae of the innocent lives they're responsible for.

[@JackRabbittm]

​@robert9495 it's not just to satisfy a curiosity. It's to develop better technology that can be used to detect the storms. This tech can be used to save thousands of lives. It's just like tornado chasers. They follow tornadoes to gather useful data that can be used to develop improve warning systems. Scientists need to take risks to save lives. They absolutely deserve praise.

[@MakerInMotion]

Yeah there have been aviation miracles greater than Sully's. Aloha Airlines 243, British Airways 5390, and British Airways 009 come to mind. All due respect to Sully, but he had a brief period of stress to get through and some of these other pilots went through a prolonged nightmare.

[@crowboy0666]

@@MakerInMotion i think part of it might have been the immediate publicity, like it was in the middle of new york city, there were thousands of witnesses for basically the entire situation, it was caught on security cameras, civilian ferries were some of the first boats to the rescue scene... so i think the involvement of the general public definitely played a part in why it got so much attention. i think part of it was also the fact that it was a water landing, which is a whole different nightmare compared to a runway landing, even one in dire circumstances.

Remember the Ford Pinto? Ford knew how dangerous it was when hit from behind - i.e. it tended to explode - but they calculated the losses if they were sued and decided they'd pay more if they had to fix them. And they were right. It did end up costing less to be sued than to fix them. Most companies will always look at their bottom line when it comes to either fixing dangerous design flaws or getting sued for them afterwards. McDonnell Douglas did the same thing.

[@julosx]

@@CuriousMouseExploration Actually the Ford Pinto wasn’t more dangerous than many other cars of the time which were designed pretty much the same way. Just think how many US cars had their fuel intake behind the registration plate in the 70s. It meant the fuel tank was right next to the rear bumper, just like in the Pinto. Nowadays most rear wheel drive cars have their fuel tank above the differential, a progress introduced thanks to the front wheel drive cars.

[@QueenMFLaurie]

The main reason for many plane crashes is that instead of actively considering the possibility that something could go very wrong one day and taking steps to prevent it, people tend to wait until there's a problem. Then they react dramatically, saying, "Oops! That went wrong; we should have seen it coming... we need to make sure it doesn’t happen again!" Like that one episode (I forgot which one sorry) with the airport that was one of the busiest in the world. They had the worst radar, which was a contributor to a disaster waiting to happen.

The pilot managed to make an emergency landing without any injuries. I broke both my legs and had to spend the whole summer in hospital. It would have been better to stay in the plane than to jump out with my parachute as I did. The plane was tilted too much and was at too low an altitude so I came out all wrong.

I have seen so many videos of people having to be evacuated from planes on the tarmac, mostly due to fire emergencies, and there will seemingly always be a not insignificant number of people trying to get their luggage and other items out from the overhead compartments that they then attempt to take with them during the evacuation. This slows the evacuation, is extremely dangerous (as taking heavy luggage down the inflatable slide can seriously hurt someone) as well as slowing the evacuation process itself and thus leading to the needles deaths of many innocent passengers due to people’s selfishness, ignorance and stupidity as they are blocking the isle and one of the few paths to escape from a burning death trap. All because these people are truly that self centered and oblivious to the rest of the world, other people and their own surroundings, always having to be the main character in their own life story. A poll was done not too long ago where they questioned airline passengers and, when asked if they would attempt to grab some of their belongings during the emergency evacuation of a plane, 35% of the people questioned said yes…

McDouglas would then proceed to shave off their reputation by “merging” with Boeing. And in 2024 we had once again door openings mid-flight.

[@cchris874]

I agree, but on the other hand Boeing doors have opened mid flight too, long before the Douglas merger.

@@CrowMercury Well look at it this way. Airbus doors have not come off yet (I think.)

55:40 Brand new aircraft and things are already broken. Typical Boeing...

[@Drgonzosfaves]

This was McDonnell Douglas, but their MO of taking care of shareholders first was in full play.

It's tragic if you lose your newlywed in a plane crash.

[@krumplethemal8831]

I think the deadliest was on Tenerife two jumbos crashed into each other, around 580 dead... I even remember it in the Newspapers as a teenager...

[@lmbcvt]

@@Snafuski yes still the deadliest crash in history!

At 4:40, the actor/controller commands the plane to turn right to a heading of 620! LOL, now that's a big miss on the script proofreading! It was probably supposed to be 260.
