[REAL ATC] Emirates A380 diverts into Kuwait with medical emergency

[@traindriverdan]

Poor kid, RIP. Great professionalism from pilots and ATC involved, looks like they did all they could

[@mrpilot5958]

I Can't even imagine what the parents are goeing through it has to be so traumitizing to lose a child my prayers to the family

[@Scylla94941]

Medical emergencies in airplanes are just sad and unfortunate because of how long it takes to get back to the ground.

[@Kratos-es2py]

Sad to hear that the child didn't make it :( Life is unpredictable...

[@FlyingPotato001]

How do you know ?

[@lonewolf6364]

@@FlyingPotato001 it was in the media at the time. Confirmed didn't make it.

[@HeyThereCharlieGirl]

That "Roger" at about 01:10 from ATC was so heavy; he conveyed immense sadness with it. Or maybe I'm just projecting. RIP young one

[@KennyLamTravel]

I was on a Emirates flight A380 from Singapore to Dubai, a lady fainted in front the bathroom, the crew was amazing, no fuss, no yelling, they just came together with the right equipment within 30 seconds and treated her. The lady was fine after 30 minutes or so.

[@LaLa-qf1qz]

Did you guys have to land or divert?

[@KennyLamTravel]

@@LaLa-qf1qz no we didn't, however that thought came to mind.

[@boahneelassmal]

the "your welcome" by the controller was just... it spoke so many words of being sorry and telling the pilots and every one working on the kid how good of a job they're doing and everything and all that in two words....

[@y.t.a180]

So so sad. Sorry for the family. But high praise for the pilot and ATC. You can hear the urgency n emotion in both voices, especially the pilot. Nothing else he could do, he got it down fast n safe, confirming more than once ambulance must be waiting. Life can be very cruel.

[@luismendezizabal7175]

Wow everybody is so nice on the radios.

[@darkstarnh]

Superb air and ground crew performance. They couldn't have done any more.

[@monajayne7717]

You can just hear the ATC wilting when he hears the situation.

[@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043]

Oh! My heart hurts. It was cut off. Wondering why. Two of my grandsons are 5 and 6 years old. I would trade places with them in a heartbeat if I could, if this were one of them. This happened on October 10th, the day my mother-in-law died, too. A sad day for many.

[@stephenbritton9297]

Surprised that early into the trip they didn't have a landing weight issue. I would think its time we start looking at equipping large airliners with automated CPR devices (such as the Lucas or Auto-Pulse) due to the time it takes to get on the ground.

[@tapio83]

Dubai - munch is ~4500km and fully fueled A380 has about 14500 km range (without margins) so you don't need full tanks for the trip.

[@erichammond9308]

Landing weight schmanding weight. a child in cardiac arrest? The pilots would probably burned the brakes, tires and landing gear to pieces to get in - there's something about a pediatric medical emergency that gets even old jaded cynical ER nurses worked up emotionally.

[@davidmoser3535]

@@erichammond9308 Eric your comments are true, but you dont want the pilot hurrying too much and killing 300 people, balanced by 1 child

[@erichammond9308]

@@davidmoser3535 oh, no, I'm not saying they would put the life of one person over all the others. I was speaking to the emotional response. I can imagine the thought process of the pilots - "can we do this and not kill everyone?" Yes! Then we're doing it"

[@concentrationmusic6192]

Emirates cabin crew are trained in first aid in case of onboard medical emergencies. Emirates aircraft are equipped with comprehensive medical kits and defibrillators for use by the cabin crew. Some flights have the latest telemetry equipment so that ground based medical staff can assess the patients whilst they are still in the air.

[@klamin_original]

It’s at least good to see that procedures work and there are no open questions

Horrible. Horrible. Poor baby. My heart goes out to the parents and all relatives. This should never happen. Poor child.

[@Bloodgod40]

I'm always surprised at the inordinate number of guys from Northern Ireland who are involved in aviation (either as pilots as in this case, or as ATC) in airlines and airports throughout the world. There's another video off the top of my head I can think of, an in-cockpit video of a Cathay Pacific 747 landing into Hong Kong, and once again the captain is very obviously an Ulster man. They must be the Filipino sailors of aviation!

[@MrLordwrecker]

Of all the "non American" ATC I have ever heard that was the easiest to understand with the captioning.

[@reconss5290]

yes we always talk clear and simple, and definitely rule no.1 is to never use american accent in ATC ew xD

Hi I like your video 😄 Can you make a video with the Police helicopter of Amsterdam? ATC ofcourse 😀

[@fhtre2]

Hey VAS, I was wondering if you could look into the crashes at Paine field the other day, there were 2 in less than an hour, It would be really interesting to hear the tower

[@VASAviation]

Working on it.

Two Irish pilots!

They are not

They are... quite clear Irish accent..

[@jamessheppard4372]

They are arab

[@joeg5414]

I've noticed a lot of middle eastern pilots pick up English accents from where they do flight training and learn English. A lot of them go to school in Florida. So many middle eastern pilots with American southern accents when they speak english😂 it's so funny to hear but I think it makes their English easier to understand

[@Jac-Jay]

@@abdirahmanwarsame8643 very clearly northern Irish pilots

Why not land in Iran? Isn’t it closer?

[@empressqi1722]

Plane doesn't just stop mid-air and land, they have to lose some speed.

[@Aupsi2]

Why the kid passed away? What was the issue?

[@02Nawal]

All planes should be required to have an AED machine on board.

[@margaretsimons4352]

Large commercial planes (with cabin crew) usually do have them and crew is trained. But even perfect defibrillation & CPR can't save patient if the heart is too damaged. Sad for mom & dad.

[@TheMartijnTim]

hey i helped transcribing this lol way different though

[@VASAviation]

I obviously made some corretions.

[@TheMartijnTim]

I understand, of course!

[@TheMartijnTim]

VASAviation - to be honest after listening to the video audio and the audio I was provided with it seems like the audio in the video is actually of higher quality, I suspect this is because of compression in emails

[@Shumayal]

You made some mistakes with the arabic. While you got the shukran right, you totally made a weird one with Ma Salama

[@AguadillaCGN]

I wonder how that aircraft was look a like, must be heavily overweight

[@blenderfox]

What's "QNH 1012?"

[@VASAviation]

altimeter setting.

[@blenderfox]

@@VASAviation Since it was Approach that's advising them, I'm guessing they're asking 9CL to set their altimeter to that? And is that the target height Approach wants them to go to?

[@RavneelChand]

@@blenderfox At 02:10 in the video, the controller directs the aircraft to continue descending to 3000 feet. They also inform them of QNH 1012, which will allow the aircraft's air-pressure-based (and weather affected) altimeter, to the correctly report altitude considering the weather at that time and place

[@blenderfox]

@@RavneelChand Ohhhh. so it's like a calibration?

[@RavneelChand]

@@blenderfox yes

[@davidhoffman1278]

Sad situation. Manual CPR fails more often than many people have been led to believe. Those portable semi-automatic defibrillator kits are now the preferred method. They usually come with child usage instructions and materials. I wonder if they will one day make them part of the standard medical kit on airliners.

[@OriginalThisAndThat]

Young kids does have more life threatening situations by choking, not because of heart problems (if no illness), so CPR is the last resort and mostly uneffective in cases of air blockages. Its very saddening to hear this conversation with ATC. :(

[@iatsd]

>>Those portable semi-automatic defibrillator kits are now the preferred method

[@diamondfailer11]

David Hoffman i think that you shouldn’t even take a child younger than 7 on an airplane.

[@davidhoffman1278]

Aperture Science , What medical reasons do you have for that belief? I personally do not like the lap waiver for children younger than 2 years old. I would limit it to less than 0.25 years. A parent should be able to get an FAA compliant child or infant seat within 91 days of birth.

[@Jac-Jay]

David Hoffman absolutely agree with this.

[@Shumayal]

He said ma as salama and shukran. You wrote some weird things lol and I'm not even Arab

[@StillTyping913]

Oh ya this one.

[@Who132Knows]

Why did the callsign change from EK49 to EK9CL ?

[@FlamethrowerDoesStuff]

Would it be because of the emergency, or...probably not, because there was a callsign by the name of Virgin 4C.

[@MaxVliet]

Sometimes alphanumerical callsigns are used by ATC to distinguish two or more aircraft from each other. I.e; UAE113 and UAE133 might be departing around the same time, to avoid confusion, one of them might use callsign UAE21C.

[@maroon9980]

EK49 is the flight number, EK9CL is the callsign.

[@abuthomas]

Emirates is strategically changing the ATC call sign for all the trips due to traffic congestion and confusion btn call sign.
