Some might call that a "spoiler" but it is a relief, because you know that means at least one person survived. Most stories in these series aren't happy ones, but some are.

I was on that Logan air flight. It was due to land in shetland, there was a flash that lit up the cabin of the plane in blue. Then we plummeted. A man a few rows behind me had a panic attack and after we leveled off the air hostess came and tried to comfort him. There were lots of people very shaken. I remember the hostess giving out little sweets and drinks trying to calm people down. It seamed like quite a while before we got an announcement from the captain, he said that we had been struck by lighting and the plane was in full working order. The reason we decended was to get clear of turbulent air and avoid further lightning strikes and as a precautionary measure we'd return to Aberdeen. It was only after we landed in Aberdeen we were told how serious the situation was. Every passenger was taken off the plane, we never went through the normal arrival gate instead we we're taken to an air lounge in the airport and waited there until the captain and co pilot came and addressed us all personally and told us what had happened. They told us the reason for returning to Aberdeen was because the aircraft was hit by lightning It would need to be inspected before being able to fly again and it was easier to have that inspection done in Aberdeen than in shetland. We were all given good accommodation for the night and flew to shetland the next morning. It was 5 days later when I read in the local news paper what had actually happened and that the decent we had made in the aircraft wasn't actually planned. Funny thing is my mother was waiting in the car at sumburugh airport to pick me up. At sumburugh airport you have to drive over the runway to get to the airport and there are gates that close when a plane is arriving/departing to stop vehicles short of the runway. My mum was stopped at these gates and watched the plane get struck on final approach then dive. She thought we were going to crash. It was 2 hours later before we landed in Aberdeen and I could call her. This happened a few years ago now and seeing this video, which I didn't know even had this flight on has made me realise just how lucky we were! Really didn't expect to see this, I had to re-watch it to make sure I heard the details right, caught me totally by surprise seeing this.

[@tgavran1870]

I like Lucario.

[@louieosumo]

Yeah, their brakes were indeed faulty, reason why it took long to take off because the brakes on left wheel were still locked, that could be the reason why they were dragged and plane dragged a little to the left. Then, after landing gear was retracted, the overheated brake wheel melt the hydraulic line causing the liquid to drip onto the brake wheel and caught fire. The alarm in cockpit for overheat did light up, but after some time it switched off because the fire disabled it. Yeah, they tried to almost land, but it banked to the left, then crashed on runway, wing 1st then upside down.

[@IndonesiaMajapahitNDPCA]

Did the plane's wing broke off after failure on landing? or was in an engine failure that made the pilot's struggle?

[@tgavran1870]

@@IndonesiaMajapahitNDPCA Well, the wing wouldn't snap if the engine didn't fail. Because of the failure the plane banked to the left a little. So the left wing was first to touch the ground.

I'm from Atlanta too. We left on the plane from Atlanta to Miami, Florida to say our final goodbyes to my sister who had cancer. About 30 minutes before landing the plane took a straight nose dive, we had our seatbelts on due to pilot telling us turbulence ahead. That was a real scary moment. Once landed everyone eerily got out of their seats and off the plane in complete silence. I think we were still in shock about but the pilots never said a word about what happen as to why the nose dive. We did fly back in a couple of weeks but afterwards I never flew again. I'll never forget that experience.

Thanks for your post. It's really important to acknowledge true heroism when we see it. Consolations to all three fatalities and their families.

[@patriot20000]

Just part of why I don't believe in anyone's god.

[@Monicaerikarita]

Appreciate that. He should have been mentioned for that. I’ve watched so many of these I’ve really thought about what I’d do…and I am convinced helping others keeps your mind off your own fear and combined with adrenaline puts you in the mindset to concentrate. Then again, it can be a weakness like in this case. I guess it comes down to could you live with yourself if you saved yourself? I think most of us could, though survivor’s guilt would be something we’d probably live with forever. But I don’t feel like every person should be expected to help strangers at their own life’s expense. As a teacher I’ve been in several unannounced lockdowns, none of which involved a shooter thank god and knock on wood, but if we aren’t given prior notice we know it’s not a drill. I become a robot, focused on my main objective which is to make sure the kids have an escape route and if they do not that they are hidden, quiet, and that I am beside the door with my IAD (improvised art device) ready to buy them time. I don’t care what I have it’s nothing against an AR, but if im quick enough I can I jure them before they get me giving my students a chance. I taught middle school for 9 years and now teach high school….while they are still kids it’s a little easier knowing they’re mostly able to think a little more reasonably and im confident there’s be at least one that would step up once im down to help direct things. So I’ve felt that actual terror (I’d rather be in a plane crash to ge honest, where the lives of 30 kids don’t rest on me, someone with the reflexes and athletic prowess of a banana slug. It’s awful because I may not be nurturing but I am fiercely protective and god help anyone coming for my students, but at the same time god help me because the likelihood I am able to do much of anything is small. After that flash of “oh my god” I immediately within a second have all attention on students, making sure they are doing what they need to do, and once they’re in place im beside the door. It’s that focus which actually calms me down. I don’t get upset until after it’s over, and even then I have kids with me and I need to appear in control of myself for their sakes. And all of that helps me think clearly and run through scenarios in my head. Im convinced that if there were a chance for us to live that would be why. Fear induced tunnel vision. Im hoping I could do the same in this situation.

I was on a plane that was landing in Bozeman, Montana, and suddenly we went from final approach to rapid accent with nothing but land out the windows on one side and sky the other. You could feel the force of the acceleration keeping you in your seat. We leveled out and the pilot comes on the intercom and goes "hi folks, this is your captain (captain name here, can't remember now) speaking." And then something about how we had to abort because a void passed in front of us on the radar and they lost sight of us. Then he closes with "at no time were we in any danger." I was in a window-seat on the "nothing but sky side." Edot: and, yes, darn good captain.

15:34 Flight 5191 (The one that went down the wrong runway with only 1 survivor) His lawyer tried to blame some of it on the passengers. "contributory negligence on the part of the passengers" Johnson replied that the passengers "should have been aware of the dangerous conditions that existed in that there had been considerable media coverage about the necessity of improving runway conditions at the airport." WOW. Just WOW. I've looked up the plane I was going to fly on but it's never entered my mind to look up the runway maintenance schedule. I mean what would we do? Oh pilot. Google says the runway has tall grass at the end because their lawnmower is broken. Go ahead and take the other runway. It's ok. I give you permission..... James Polehinke, the first officer, suffered serious injuries, including multiple broken bones, a collapsed lung and severe bleeding. Lexington-Fayette and airport police officers pulled Polehinke out of the wreckage. He underwent surgery for his injuries, including an amputation of his left leg that confined him to a wheelchair. Doctors later determined that Polehinke had suffered brain damage and had no memory of the crash or the events leading up to it.[25][26][27][28] In May 2012, Polehinke filed a lawsuit against the airport and the company that designed the runway and taxi lights.[29] The estates or families of 21 of the 47 passengers filed lawsuits against Polehinke. In response, Polehinke's attorney William E. Johnson raised the possibility of contributory negligence on the part of the passengers. When asked by the plaintiffs' attorney David Royse, who criticized the statements, to explain what that meant, Johnson replied that the passengers "should have been aware of the dangerous conditions that existed in that there had been considerable media coverage about the necessity of improving runway conditions at the airport."[30] At the time when Johnson submitted the contributory negligence defense, he had not yet been able to speak to Polehinke. By the time that newspapers reported on the court documents, Johnson said that he had already informed Royse that he would withdraw the argument.[31]

Can you imagine how those people felt on these plane crashes? I know I’ve been scared a few plane rides. I’ve had cabin storage compartments, pop open taking off really rough rides a few times.

[@Monicaerikarita]

I won’t know unless it happens, but I envision some initial terror, then myself making sure those around me are doing what they need to do (I am calmer and much better in those situations if I go into teacher mode and don’t pay attention to myself), then if that point comes where I can look at a flight attendant’s face and see we’re probably not going to make it I want to sit back, close my eyes, and just do my breathing exercises while I think about good things. I think being resigned to fate might be weirdly calming. I watch a lot of these so I’ve thought about it. If we got on the ground and I’m still alive I’d hope my adrenaline would help me find a hole and exit. If I were able I’d help strangers. My weakness would be kids…I specifically choose to teach the older ones, but even though I’m NOT nurturing by nature I am fiercely protective and that would impede survival for me as I could not bear to leave a kid that appears alone or I’m trouble. But that’s ok with me, my mindset of “kids come first period” at least means if something happens to me, the kids can live. In the US we have to think about that with ever increasing shootings, and unlike my colleagues I don’t have a partner or my own kids at home so that choice is easy for me and ingrained in me now. Dunno, feel like everyone kind of does better if they have something to concentrate on that can take full attention, so helping others (not saying at your own expense, but if it’s an option) probably would help most of us think straight and pay more attention. Then if you do make it to the ground you’re already in that mindset and with your adrenaline combined with clear thinking, it’s still possible to make it.

You hardly see any footage of successful flights, so that means that one can be under the impression that this happen often. Well it does not.

[@MYLOVEOFIRELAND2303]

Oh gosh, this is so sad to watch. Such airline disasters, wherever they occur, are always heart wrenching & heart breaking to hear about & to see via tv. All human lives are worthy and precious, no matter where one hails from. I sometimes wonder, what countless souls have thought about, during such fearful moments & prior to such catastrophic events. For most on these flights, their last few minutes of their life. To all who have died, may you all rest in eternal peace & my condolences i send, to their nearest & dearest. They will never be forgotten, but always remembered & honoured.

[@redeagleten]

All human lives?... Murderers, pedophiles and rapists exist you know, are their lives precious too? 😂

when I get older, I don't want to become a pilot but a plane crash investigater. I would like to know some stuff like this. But it doesn't mean I want people to experience it.

Logan air plane pilots really did great. They saved the plane. The Indonesian plane should have returned back to the airport.

I think they would crash still...the nose dive happened climbing only at 5000ft. Now calculate the time they would have to circle the airport and land on opposite side of the runway. The MCAS was gonna doom them still

They could go around……..

[@AlternateCesarT]

@@dew9103 they were to low on speed and alt. So a a go around could not have hapend and alsi due to the panic

[@dew9103]

​@@AlternateCesarT According to a 5 minutes video I watch, pilots can go around all the way until the thrust reversers are set. Look at Asiana 214 for example. A similar crash where the pilots are too high during the approach and then at the last seconds were way to low. They didn't make it but they could if they go around a few seconds earlier. The panic in the cockpit really start when the EGPWS sounds. They should've gone around earlier.

[@nikihollingsworth9791]

Great episode

[@lknanml]

They did an EXCELLENT job on these shows. It's too easy to fall into the reality TV documentary and ruin the show (Shark Week) They put in just enough drama to compliment the facts instead of tower over them. I've never heard what the survivors or family members of those lost thought about the show.

[@MrBsbotto]

Great comment lknanml! I think this series is just superb, with top notch writing, acting and the unseen star of the show, the narrator. He does a great job of setting the scene and amping up the excitement with his tone and pacing. Brilliant show!

Slightly concerning when a pilot forgets not only the runway he's supposed to be taking off from, but also the name of his plane...

[@ChromeCobra420]

Theyre human and fly many thousands of hours on different flights, planes and cities. And you forget what you were looking for when you enter a room occasionally. It happens, even to professionals on their job.

I know it's the safest travel, but the ones that crash are horrific, then when you think about how many close calls or bad weather, it's just plain scary. Add to that how some pilots react to emergencies and I'll stay on the ground, thanks.🙏

[@miasmic100]

When you fight with the controls is when you fighting the autopilot, most likely, pilots must keep a crystal clear mind and think superfast and avoid the unwanted

[@pomegranteappleson1628]

God to think they were seconds from the runway. So close to landing safely. The others too who were less than a mile from airport. The workers could even see the flames from the crash.

[@Cocoblsh]

I remember being on spirit airlines and our plane nearly crashed I lost it man. I swear I’ve never seen death before my eyes until that fateful day. It was chaos I was screaming and begging God to deliver us. The man beside me closed his eyes and kept praying I was holding onto him for dear life. The lady in front kept giving her grandkids orange juice to keep them calm! I haven’t flown since I was flying from Ft Lauderdale to georgia with my newborn daughter coming back home after visiting her dad.

[@MikaeliHitMetal17Times]

I think if you apply enough force to the yoke stick it disconnects autopilot also the dive wasn’t that violent and the fact they buttered the landing both pilots are really good

[@kingrob9993]

There should be a couple hundred ft. Of extra runway on every runway.
