Escape from Flight 797 | Mayday Air Disaster

[@carols7263]

I am a survivor of that flight, I was 22 years old at that time. I remember it like yesterday… not something one forgets. In watching this I feel the ‘dramatization’ in the reenactment of what actually occurred wasn’t entirely accurate. I guess they did their best - just sayin’. At the time, the only testimony I gave was to the Air Canada investigators while I was in the hospital for three days. I chose not to give testimony to any press people, due to the fact the friend I was travelling with did not make it off the plane 😞 naturally I was devastated to say the least, and didn’t want to talk to any press even tho they camped in the hospital hallways, and called me (from Canada to my surprise) on the hospital room telephone line I had to keep in touch with my family in Canada. I will say this - the pilot did an incredible job factoring in the disaster and harsh reality of the situation. He did everything right in my opinion! The fact that we landed in an airport and on a runway was nothing short of miraculous. Under the circumstances it was nothing short of amazing that anyone survived! Much sadness for those who lost loved ones 😔😞🙁 At the time it felt like everyone on board was family…. there’s a feeling of we are stuck here together in the situation and my heart went out to everyone. I had helped the elderly couple sitting next to me as best I could but reality was it really went very quickly into a situation where everyone was basically on their own. No one including flight crew was in a position to do anything. We were all strapped in for an emergency landing!! I could hear coming from the cockpit “Mayday, mayday, we are coming down!” There was no request- it was more like plan NOW for our arrival as we were literally falling out of the sky and landing in record time. I always understood it to be a 12 minute decent…. from 35,000 ft elevation, so thats remarkable as normally that can take upwards of 40 minutes. The tires all blew due to the very abrupt swift landing- the second I felt the plane stop, off with my seat belt! I needed air, 12 minutes is waaay too long to control one’s breathing especially with every breath its toxic fumes. I knew the elderly couple next to me was already gone because I held the hand of the lady next to me and I could feel her hand grip lessen and fade which was horrific when there was nothing I could do to help. Heart wrenching. I was separated from my friend with many of us relocated seats as initially we were in row 13. The flight was not full so before things got too bad all rows in the front half of plane were filled. Yet all exits were used with doors opened. Those precious souls that never made it off the flight I believe were already unconscious due to the horrid toxic smoke inhalation. The plane was silent! There was no noise or active scrimmaging of anyone frantically trying to get out. I remember… it was pitch black I had to feel my way out and instinctively remained low during the process and felt no-one in my way or path on route to the front entry exit. I believe it very possible I may have been the last one out of the plane because when I got to the front entry exit - I went from seeing nothing to seeing outside and on the ground was a flight attendant looking up at me and yelled “no slide” as I jumped out of the plane completely missing the provided inflated-type slide… You see, in my mind I was expecting stairs (strange I know) but that was how I initially boarded the plane (June outside) in Dallas, Tx with stairs. And in those ‘seconds’ of me thinking, “I need air NOW and must get out” I jumped clearing the provided slide and ended up doing a forward role having a minor scrape on my shoulder from the impact of hitting the tarmac pavement which in itself was incredible that I didn’t break my shoulder or anything else! After tumbling/rolling a couple times I jumped up and ran - as I believe I heard “run” so I didn’t run too far - but then stopped, turned around to look at the plane I had just ran from … and I can’t say with absolute certainty but likely 30 seconds … as I had turned and looked at the plane - woosh! Like an inferno the fire just surged internally from front to back throughout the entire interior. With the smoke bellowing out and the outside oxygen getting inside the plane it quickly fuelled the fire… Those that had gotten out were standing there huddled on the tarmac and the head-count began. There were 23 counted. Immediately after that I and a very elderly man were the first to leave in an ambulance - My nose was bleeding and I knew I had not bumped it but while in the ambulance on oxygen I found out the blood vessels burst inside my nose which apparently can occur from lack of oxygen. The woman in this video who made a statement was right in saying that oddly anyone that did get out -had mild (if any) physical injury. I could go on with further details however, the only point I wanted to really make was the pilot in my opinion was a true hero. Of course credit is due to crew and those who had opened each exit door 👏🏻 but if it weren’t for the pilot landing this flight- no one would have survived. There truly was minimal panic, some near me I could hear were hyper-ventilating which was the worst thing to do- those of us that survived knew to control and minimize ones breathing as best you could under the circumstance which was no easy task. I flew home just 3 days later - that was tough but it was the quickest way to get back home to SK, Canada. I’ve flown countless times since. For me I still believe it’s the best way when travelling long distance... But I pray every time for safe and an uneventful flight.

The question being is why the crew are out of the aircraft and on the ground while there are still passengers on board. We were always taught crew leave last and not being the first out of the doors

[@davidmiller6593]

One of the tragedies of Flight 797 was that the crew underestimated the fire due to the frequency of small trashbin fires from people smoking in the lavatories. It took years of industry and political fighting to ban smoking on planes, but we are safer for it. Without the regularly occurring small cigarette fires, crew now can treat any warning of smoke or fire as more than a minor nuisance. They are now trained to treat any instance of smoke as a potential deadly threat and take emergency action IMMEDIATELY instead of waiting for reports from the cabin crew or the FO investigating the smoke. So anyone that smokes and irritated you can't aboard a plane, please note that the law is there not just to annoy smokers.

[@kewlztertc5386]

The pilots should've taken every instance as an emergency. They became complacent because of previous occurrences, that was a violation of policy and FAA rules. With airplanes (and people's lives), you don't guess nor assume, you KNOW or you don't Know.

Even if the plane landed a few minutes sooner at the Louisville airport, once the exits were opened the oxygen then would have still caused an explosion.

[@DaBlazesUSay]

All of the second-guessing needs to stop! I'm from Kentucky, I lived in Louisville for several years, now I live in Northern Kentucky and worked in aviation at the Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky International Airport (as it's known now). Air Canada Flight 797 was already past Louisville when the emergency was declared. The crew did a heroic job of descending and landing the aircraft without stressing the airframe to its breaking point, while finding the runway through thick, toxic smoke! As tragic as the outcome was, it was near-miraculous that any lives were saved.

[@MoonLight-zk3gm]

Well I agree, HOWEVER, the aviation industry should teach pilots how to use COMMON SENSE because many DON'T USE IT! anything taking place that looks like a danger and a threat to peoples lives should be called a MAYDAY RIGHT AWAY! ( that's a no brainer) and not act like they can handle something that looks potentially serious when NOTHING GUARANTEES THEY CAN!

[@aldinlee8528]

@@MoonLight-zk3gm Here, here. Making excuses like you're defending a coach beset for losing a little league softball game is what should stop. This was not about losing a baseball game. While I understand that smoking situations were not unknown occurences in that day, this differed quite a bit. The circuit breakers in combination with the initial smoke should have put it into their minds that an electrical fire was a high probability; at which point they should have put that plane on the first runway they could find, while they had the ability to look out their cockpit window. And, too, the captain was criminal in my mind. He should have deployed the oxygen masks . . . damn airline policy. Had the passengers not been inhaling toxic fumes for 15+ minutes, perhaps once landed they'd have had more presence of mind to speedily exit and get EVERYONE out. Then the first officer, who should have had on an oxygen mask during that time, bales, rather than looking to help his passengers. Wow. Just saw the investigation and end. They gave awards to the captain and first officer, how horrible. Yeah, they finally got the plane on the ground, to save their own lives. It's that guy who died helping his fellow passengers who should have been 'postumously' given an award.

[@MoonLight-zk3gm]

@aldinlee8528 I have no clue what YOU'RE talking about, I don't need to write an essay to get my point across, my point is about COMMON SENSE, when it isn't used due to EGO (thinking that one has everything under control when one really doesn't) most of the time is when catastrophe happens, mayday should have been called right away knowing there was potential danger, I believe if they would have taken that initiative right away instead of wasting time thinking they can take care of everything on their own first, everyone would have been saved, TIMING IS EVERYTHING! if you procrastinate, everything can go haywire

a few minutes wouldnt have changed much i think. maybe the flash over would have been a little less powerful, but the result would have been the same in any case. as soon as that many doors were opened and oxygen rushed in, the thing was going to blow

[@karenshadle365]

HOLY CRAP!

[@Aprilsraven629]

What struck me was the Captains steadfast defiance on using oxygen masks, I think more people would have survived had they had those few minutes of clean air but the flip side is if they did turn on the oxygen masks would that have feed the fire causing a flash over in the air, as the fire erupted once is reached its ignition temperature on the ground supplied by the oxygen of the open cabins doors...another thought, had only 1 door been open at the very front reducing the supply of oxygen to the starved fire rather than 6 would that have brought them precious extra minutes to evacuate .... as a fire fighter, I believe it would have as it trickled in rather than came like hurricane - this scenario would be worth looking into

[@anantr99]

That, and if the fire was already inside the aircraft's structure (behind the cabin panelling), then it is also possible that smoke would have entered the oxygen system. Dropping masks could have led to an extra inlet for smoke into the cabin, besides being, as you said, a fire hazard. As for opening only one door, it would have helped, but at the same time, it might not have. Gauging by the amount of darkness inside the cabin and the fact that the passengers were all suffering from smoke inhalation, there was going to be panic, and having only one door open might have accentuated said panic. Unfortunately, the effects of passengers panicking reminds me of that Nationair aircraft crash where a fire in the wheel-well led to a fire in the cabin, and before the aircraft could land, passengers were even trying to open the doors while parts of the floor gave way (gauging by how seats and deceased passengers were later found). Of course, that flight had a far more horrific ending when the fire destroyed all the flight controls, and the aircraft simply crashed on approach with no survivors.

[@HiddenWindshield]

@@kewlztertc5386 "Yeah, how'd that work our?" I think it worked out pretty good, given that half the people on board survived. "What's the point of saving the plane if all the passengers have expired from smoke?" Okay, that's just idiotic. Do you even read your own posts? Twenty-three people survived. If the plane had been lost, there would have been *_ZERO_* survivors. Twenty three survivors is better than zero. "The accumulated smoke and gasses are what caused the Flashover." 🤦 It's a good thing you're not a firefighter, with that level of knowledge. Flashovers are caused by heat and oxygen, _not_ smoke and gasses, so the flashover would have been _worse_ if it had had more oxygen. "It's better to have a clean fire, than a toxic one." Technically true, all other things being equal. The thing is, all other things _wouldn't_ have been equal in a highly pressurized cabin. It's better to have a _small_ fire, even given the increased threat of toxic gasses, than to have a large one that destroys the entire plane and kills everyone.

[@kewlztertc5386]

@HiddenWindshield it's the heat and the gasses that causes a flashover. The gasses are vaporized fuel (combustibles). It's similar to charcoal. Yes all fires need oxygen, but heat fire, and air doesn't make flashivers, otherwise ovens especially those used in smelting wouldn't be safe. Circulating the air, would feed the fire, but the fire already has everything it needs. If all the air is used up then the passengers are no more. So giving the fire air is unavoidable. 23 people survived..... how many more would've had they not become incapacitated or blinded by smoke? How many would've made it if not for the flashover? I'm not advocating they open the doors, just circulate the air enough to balance fire and breathing.

As was mentioned, there's the possibility that the fire would have been fed by the additional oxygen (see how quickly the fire took hold when the plane landed and the doors were opened).

@@EricJustice---10-83 You have 0 experience deploying, using, or landing with a parachute. You'll die a far more horrible death than whatever death (if any) awaits you in the plane. Also, have you ever seen how big they are? They are the size of the entire backrest of a seat, and weigh about twice as much. Where do you expect them to be? Because if each airplane has to have parachutes for everyone, that's hundreds of "backrests" that have to be on the airplane. It is impossible to put them in the cabin, there is no place for them there. They have to go into the cargo hold. If the parachutes are in the cargo hold, how do you expect to have access to them? It is impossible for even the crew to go down there mid flight, and there is simply no space for people to crawl, let alone walk and drag a massive parachute with them. How do you avoid panic, or get everyone readty for the jump in a timely manner? Or do so before it's too late? Getting hundreds of passangers ready for a parachute jump takes a lot of time. 200 people, at 30 seconds each, is over 1 hour and a half. By that time everyone will be either on the ground or long dead. Also, are you willing to pay the extra cost of having a parachute for each passanger, both in terms of material cost AND extra weight that the airplane has to carry in your ticket? Each parachute weighs between 15 to 20kg. A 737 has a capacity of 230 passangers, that's almost 5 extra tons of weight on an airplane that can only carry 30 tons of passangers, cargo, etc. That's a massive chunk of weight that the plane now cannot use.

No references in English ruins it. Language applies exactly same to speed and distance as words. I have to look up what papion means in French for instance butterfly. I cannot see 20m? I can see 65'-7" and forget metrics better because one has to split hairs in all measuring systems. If i say 65' exactly then that would be 19,8 meters (less accurate by the way) You narrate in English and "So Should Distance Then" is my point. You can blame man in Genesis 11-9 of the Tower of babel.

It is English. Kilometers and meters are used all over the world besides a select few, which includes English speaking countries such as the United Kingdom and Canada

[@deezkhajiit184]

A meter is about a yard. Quit crying, this is the Canadian version of the show so they're going to use metric.

That must have been one aggressive sh!t 🫢💩. What do you guys think someone ate to cause the motor to over heat and the breakers to pop?

[@Sewinglake767]

I bet they smoked and ate a huge amount of food like 50 pounds and went there and caused this

[@Sewinglake767]

Possibly well it’s Americas fault for allowing smoking so probably not
