Pilot's INSANE Mistakes Get 97 People Killed!

The pilots of Pakistan International Airlines Flight 8303 made a series of unforgivable and insane mistakes that resulted in the aircraft landing gear up and bouncing down the runway before they decided to takeoff again! This is the story of the insane mistakes and the truth about this airline!
Note: I had to remove ALL of the crash video footage and images from this video in order to comply with KZbin's overly restrictive monetization policy. For some reason the footage of this crash is deemed to be more sensitive and not suitable for educational purposes.

Although I focus more on the Captain in this video, the First Officer is also responsible and had a duty to speak up and take control of the aircraft. Unfortunately perhaps the culture contributed to his unwillingness to do so. Also, note: I had to remove every image (and video footage) of the crash and wreckage in order to comply with KZbin's monetization policy. Thankfully the lessons we can learn from this are still just as valid.

[@paulpease8254]

Culture could certainly be a factor but it’s not possible to really generalize. Interesting observation though that one’s culture may not be well adapted for dealing with every circumstance, and that is a lesson we should all probably keep in mind lest we become complacent about how our own cultural attitudes and tendencies can cause problems in certain situations.

Olympic ceased flying in 2009, now before i flew i checked them out and they had actually won several safety awards... go figure, our landing approach was lucky not to turn into a trajectory, but it shows that safety awards are only valid for the day they are awarded.

Have mentioned this on other aviation channels, but I met a former 757 pilot for AA who was also a former Navy pilot. One Thanksgiving he told us some amazing stories, but also an admonition: DO NOT FLY on commercial Carriers based South of the US Border, or from 3rd World Countries. Primary Reasons: Inadequate funding for parts, maintenance and pilot training. He gave specific examples. For instance, entering a Mexicana DC-10 to meet up with a colleague pilot. He sat in right seat and reviewed the Log Book while waiting for his friend to exit the Lav. He said he saw that the DC-10 was flying with several critical systems, including hydraulics, that were non-op and running on stand-by source. Several instruments were also down on one side. He said that pilots from some countries look at every successful flight as a case of ‘cheating death’. If you knew your flight crews thought like that, would you step foot in their aircraft?

My dad used to drive the catering trucks to unload food, drinks, and carts from the inbound flight and load fresh food, drinks etc for the outbound flight, in the mid 90s to early 2000s. My dad would routinely find insects on food and in food carts, which would require fumigation. And strong smells of urine and faeces that awaited him as the cabin door opened! Then came the partial ban of PIA flying in EU airspace due to safety and maintenance standards, followed by issues with the authenticity of pilots licenses (as mentioned in the video). And now, causing the death of passengers due to bad flight management, poor communication, stubbornness, or of the above? Personally, I'd rather walk than risk my health and life on a PIA flight.

So then he appealed to the Pakistani Ombudsman equivalent and they then eventually cleared him to start airline pilot training. Naturally he had his problems during training and his career but somehow managed to make it to captain and keep his job despite the glaring flaws. I honestly don’t know how he managed it. I’d guess maybe he had wealth or family connections in combination with the fact that generally Airbus airliners are heavily automated with a lot of computer assistance that’s the friend of any low skill or inexperienced pilot.
