Mayday! Air Disaster: Season 9 Marathon | Part 1: Near Misses And Mystery Crashes

[@flufwix]

Something fishy about the French investigation. Pilots should have done better but if the plane had functioned correctly it would have been a near miss. As for passengers climbing over children, no words

IM HAVIN A HEY DAY WITH MAYDAY MAYDAY

[@roguewolf7053]

In the first case…while the pilot AND co-pilot were partially to blame for altering the flight plan “on the fly” so to speak. But I also *TRULY* believe there WAS a cover up in order to place blame ENTIRELY on the pilot & hide malfunctions with the new plane which were quietly fixed in the only other 2 planes that had been delivered at that point after the crash during “routine” maintenance & of course fixed in future planes to be delivered. TOO MUCH money on the line for the company & shareholders for the plane to be found at fault. FAR less expensive to ruin the life of a single pilot…even if they were to have to pay 100s of millions to QUIETLY settle with him.

Not an expert here, however, there seem to be a bug in the Air Bus computer that they can't remove or fix. Under certain condition such as this, the bug in the plane computer prevents pilots taking control over the plane. The French goverment, howver, is willing to send the pilot to prison, probably to sh-ut him up, than to force the manufacturer to fix the bug. - One final recomendation, don't assign French "investigators" to investigate French accidents.

[@RichardMcLaren]

It's not a bug as such. It was described in the manual, but it didn't occur to anybody that it was supposed to do what it did, because no other plane had ever done that before. So while it was in the manual, it's not unreasonable that the pilot didn't expect it.

[@Judokastt]

That Airbus one I believe the pilot, there was way too much money at stake but also French/European pride and I do think he was made a scapegoat for the accident. I have ZERO faith in governments and especially where lots of money is involved.

If they are going to charge, convict, and jail the pilot then they need to do so with the person(s) who gave him the map of the runway that were missing the forest and didn't designate the proper runway. Charge everyone who's fault it is or nobody. Also, make it mandatory for all maneuvers to be tested with the planes and pilots b4 they do it for the crowd.

By 2011? How old exactly are these episodes? I don't really mind. But I thought they were a little more recent. I don't watch cable tv anymore, just KZbin and Rumble. But I had noticed that NEW episodes of Air Disasters (Smithsonian channel I think) were, what seemed for the most part, just re-runs of Mayday, or some other different titled show about plane crashes. And some were released under the Mayday series title YEARS before we would get them here, but aired as "new." And they were the same, exact episodes, but with a different narrator. I do really like the narrator of the American Air Disasters version. He's one of my faves. He has done, and probably still does, narration for shows on the ID network. So, not complaining; just curious. Lol

[@andrewince8824]

And what variety of systems, may I ask you, ensure only Carbon Monoxide is evacuated and not every gas making up the atmosphere inside the aircraft thus creating a rush of air which carries further concentrations of Carbon Monoxide with it?

@ guessing everything will be vacuumed out. Not saying it can’t be defeated by some form of circumstance. But could possibly buy some time to escape

[@andrewince8824]

@@hughbowman5071 it'd simply exacerbate the issue by drawing gases through the cabin. An overpressurised system like for example the already pressurised cabin is far more effective at reducing the build up of toxic gases in the event of a fire. Combined with oxygen masks (which are useful in the event of a full depressurisation) you have an effective and reliable system. Any extra powered systems also run the risk of simply not working as the power on an aircraft is produced by the engines and APU. In the event of a fire there's a high chance at least one engine will lose power. Most airliners today are twin-jets so we're dealing with half the power being lost. In the event of all engines failing an aircraft can utilise an emergency Ram Air Turbine to generate a very small amount of power. This power is exclusively for flight controls as the RAT is simply a small wind turbine taking advantage of the aircrafts momentum, it can't do high outputs.

[@ZackWheeler-y7z]

The maneuver was way too risky to do with passengers and I hope the people who lost their lives rest in peace, but idk if the pilot is to blame. It takes an Air craft 4 to 5 seconds to go from idle to TOGA do to delay, in the video you hear the engines spooling as soon as it touched the wood line meaning he was telling the truth. He tried to punch out way before they claimed him too. I also don't believe the plane went into a stall prevention but I believe the plane malfunctioned. You can see the plane begin to climb for a slip second and immediately go down, stall prevention would force the nose down but it never did, on top of that on the CVR there was no stall warning or stick shaker, just terrain warning, therefore meaning the plane never thought it was in a stall.
