A lot of other youtubers in Stig's position would've immediately posted a dedicated video, "Aircraft Mechanic Shocked by Horrific Aircraft Fire". Meanwhile, stig hides his reaction to the incident inside his routine videos. Major respect. (Though if you ever do feel like doing a Blancolirio-style reaction video, I'd watch that!)

I had to have a chuckle at the first people evacuating from the Over Wing Exit and started walking down towards the wing tip... guys there's GIANT ARROWS painted on the wing root! 😂 Always read the emergency instructions found in the seat pockets... it may come in useful one day. I will NEVER get bored of this Stig... as an aviation buff, I love learning about how different aircraft work, military, domestic, you name it. This is all great stuff! 👌👍

[@davidcole333]

Stig, at 24:55 when the 773 is departing, your camera captured visible wingtip vortices as it broke through the cloud layer! Really cool to see how they look!

[@StigAviation]

I saw that too. It was beautiful

[@MidnightVisions]

@12:40 Stig, you missed a safety feature of the ground power cord fire. Over on the leg of the jet bridge is an ON/OFF switch. All anybody had to do to stop the fire was push the OFF switch. NOT a single person did.

[@StigAviation]

That’s true. I did miss that. Thank you for pointing that out

[@njjeff201]

I assumed electrical circuits were protected by a fuse or breaker.

[@litz13]

​@@njjeff201 I would hope someone at the airport fire department is asking that exact question, although to be fair on a 90kva supply it's entirely possible that short didn't produce enough actual current flow to trip the breaker.

[@nowlaj]

Airplane videos are the best. It’s amazing how much goes into the modern airplane to make it work. We’ve evolved from mechanical gauges and pulley systems to move the control surfaces to a computer system far more powerful than the Apollo computers that took us to the moon. Multiple redundant systems and attention to detail is what keeps us safe when we fly. Thank you for your attention to detail.

[@justaloser.v8668]

Hi Stig Aviation, 👋 I'm turning 20 years old on June 1st, and I couldn't be more thrilled about the journey ahead. I just wanted to thank you for the incredible inspiration you've provided through your videos. Your passion and expertise in aircraft maintenance have motivated me to pursue a career as an aircraft mechanic. I'm currently studying in the AMEL program at Civil Aviation Training Center in Thailand, and your detailed explanations and hands-on demonstrations have been invaluable. Even though I know this path is challenging, your videos have pushed me to persevere through the hard times. Thank you for inspiring me. I am excited about my future in aviation because of you. 🙏🤙

[@StigAviation]

First of all, I am wishing you an amazing birthday when June 1st comes along. Wishing you all the success in your life. Thank you so much for being here and I’m glad I can help anyway I can.

Thanks Stig for another sterling episode. Ruf is the premier Porsche tuner and now, manufacturer, of Porsches on steroids, if that seems at all possible. Started by Alois Ruf Sr. in 1939. His son, Alois Ruf Jr. is the current Chairman.

[@StigAviation]

Very interesting. Thank you for the info my friend

[@PatrickLipsinic]

I have seen a worn out plug where the two small pin sockets would except a big pin. It was an old indoor power unit and the person plugging it in didn't realize the plug is suppose to go in only one way. Power was not on at the plane at the time. It was dark and we were about to power on the plane. As soon as power was sent to the plug in. The ground cable right next to it started to smoke and then caught fire and started to glow. We killed the power cart immediately and waited a sec and removed the power cord. Nothing caught fire except for the ground cable. After that cooled down a bit. I had some thick leather gloves and pull the ground cable. This was inside a hanger. Ever since then, the painted floor still has a burnt mark that looks like a snake from the ground cable. The plane was ok, except for some power distribution boxes and the ground strap at the aircraft receptacle. That will get you heart pumping. Luckily no one was hurt. That was a big lesson for that guy. I might have gotten a little heated at him but calmed down and apologize.

[@friedchicken1]

if the plug only goes in one way, how did that guy manage to mess up? I'm just curious on more details on what caused the incident

[@PatrickLipsinic]

@@friedchicken1 the cable end was worn out. The small pin sockets were spreading out. Allowing the big pins to socket into them.

[@friedchicken1]

@@PatrickLipsinic ah, I see now. TY

[@ArmyofSeaturtles]

this is true, i've seen it on a 737 and on a 747, my electrical class instructor said it may be idiot proof but there will always be a bigger idiot, with worn pins and a idiot its possible to force the plug the wrong way. at my company rampers are not allowed to touch the GPU and power cord only mechanics can connect / disconnect ground power.

[@StigAviation]

I’m glad nobody got hurt, good rule of thumb is to look at the plug and look at the receptacle as well, make sure you’re aligning the holes properly.

[@joanieswanson570]

I’ll probably spell this wrong; MEK methyl ethyl ketone, right? I’ll show my age here. Knew about that stuff for about 45 years. It cleans stuff up quite good. No; don’t clean the rust off the tool box. That’s its own unique personality. Learned a few new little things and got a refresher on a few others. Absolutely loved it, Stig. Be safe, take care.

[@stellarproductions8888]

Your video's never get boring for me, as your video's, your education, and your words at the end, are very dear to my heart. That faulty power cable was scary, but could have been much worse, see video's on power sub stations for reference. I'm sure the company who makes the plug will have to send out a replacement. I love watching you fill the engines and hydraulic systems with oil, as a small engine mechanic, this is something I do as well. As well as all the usual stuff you show, I love it when you treat us with flaps rotation shafts, things that look like drive shafts, as well as get to see you change tiny bulbs. I always love learning. And Stig, I know what you were trying to say about watching the planes leave, I understand, you know I do. ♥

Wow, those two Ferrari's next to each. The progress humanity has made in a relatively short space of time is incredible, and that was a brilliant way to show it. I'd still go for the old one, though. The curves on those old Ferrari's and cars of that era are just as about as beautiful as you can get (insert 250 GTO/DB5/E-Type/Corvette C1...), not that I'd turn down that SF90 Stradale, but you know what I mean.... There's 66 years of advancement between that 212 Inter Coupe Vignale and the SF90 Stradale. It's really quite cool to think where we'll be in another 66 years...

My company usually does left aft pump. Haven't been told why though lol. Pilots usually turn on center left. Nice shot of the NAC 767 don't pay too much attention to the off color cowl though 😂.

[@StigAviation]

Yeah, it’s weird why they do that, it’s either the Fwd or the aft pump, but the manual states that you can use one or the other it doesn’t matter

Another week and another absolutely brilliant video that raises the bar yet again, I honestly don't know how you do it. I'm completely glued to the screen to the very last second. Thank you sincerely for these videos Stig, honestly they are now the highlight of my week, and that's no exaggeration. I absolutely loved the way you ended it, too. It was so meaningful and really quite beautiful. Fun little anecdote for you. When I was around 12 or 13, early/mid 90's, I was in Club World (business class) on a BA 767-300 from LHR to MIA. I used the toilet, washed my hands, opened the toilet door, and realised I hadn't flushed the toilet. Without thinking and with the toilet door pretty much wide open, I hit the flush button. To say everyone in that cabin was less than impressed is a massive understatement as quite a few were asleep. I was still getting some rather stern looks while we were deboarding several hours later...

[@StigAviation]

That’s quite comical, but I’m glad you did flush. Imagine the next person walking in there. And thank you so much as always Kev.

You triggered memories for me with your Paul Harvey homage to Charles Taylor at the end. Brought back memories of riding in the car with my mom as a kid (5-6yrs old), hearing Harvey on the radio on the way to visit my dad in the hangar to bring him lunch. Walking around the F-28s that were in, or the Metroliners, just typing this out I can remember the smells both inside the aircrafts and out in the hangar. Your homage couldn't be anymore spot on about aircraft mechanics. If you know, you know....✈🔧

[@StigAviation]

It hits Home for all of us, we all live that life. Nobody sees it besides our colleagues and our families. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it. I hope the future generation understands what we have sacrificed, it’s much easier nowadays. But it’s OK, we paved away because we want to see a better future.

[@trevorbrewer7906]

Hiya Stig. Another interesting thing about decompression panels which is close to home. American Airlines DC10 flight 96 suffered a cargo door blow out which sucked in the aft cabin floors causing jamming of the flight controls. The AA crew were able to successfully land the stricken aircraft, however the next accident involving a Turkish Airlines DC10 weren’t so lucky and crashed near Paris. McDonnell Douglas sorted out the door problem and fitted floor decompression panels. These panels can also be found on cockpit doors and any other bulkhead that partitions the cabin. Another interesting thing that is found are dado panels which run just about the length of the cabin and between the sidewalls and floor. It’s a panel with a grille and spring loaded door to allow free flow of air from the cabin to the cargo areas. Cargo bays too have blow out panels. I have personally removed and refitted hundred’s of these panels in my aviation career. Just more info for your viewers 😊

[@StigAviation]

Absolutely fantastic information Trevor. I appreciate you for writing this out.

[@user-xw4hn7lb3x]

I was a crew chief in the Air Force for 20 years. It always blew my mind that pilots get paid more than the mechanics. Most mechanics can easily become pilots, but most pilots can't become mechanics. Flying the aircraft is the easy part. I have my pilot's license by the way. I much rather fly a plane than work on it, because flying is easy.

[@StigAviation]

It’s always been like that, pilots get paid more mechanics are always in the shadows. Good example is Charles Taylor, nobody ever talks about him, but everybody knows the Wright brothers.

[@pmdtaylor32]

I love that you take time to appreciate! One of the things I think a lot of people forget is that each and every passenger in a seat has a different story for why they're on that particular flight. Aviation is more than just doing the hard things. It's providing things that we take for granted. It ranges from reuniting families after time apart, vacations that will create lifelong memories, and sometimes it's getting people there in time to say goodbye. I want to fly not just because it is fun, but because it allows me to be in service to my fellow human beings in their times of need, whatever that may be.

[@StigAviation]

You said it perfectly my friend 👍 bravo 🙌

[@rickpoole1274]

Stig, first of all thanks for all the educational and entertaining videos. I've learned a lot from them, both things I've guessed at and things I didn't know. I do have one questions. A few years ago we were going to fly AA from DFW to SNA and 20 seconds into the pushback we heard a loud bang followed by the airplane shuddering to a stop. I guessed the tug came loose and hit the aircraft. About 45 minutes later a super tug appeared 90 degrees to the right of the aircraft so I guessed something happened to the nose wheel. About an hour after we deplaned I saw one of the crew and asked what happened. They said the towbar broke in half and it turned the nose wheel way past its limits. In talking to them and the next crew who actually flew us to SNA no one had ever heard of a towbar breaking in half like that. I never found pictures or any write up describing the incident. Have you ever seen or heard of a towbar breaking in half during pushback?

[@StigAviation]

It wasn’t the towbar that actually broke. It was actually a sheer pin that was meant to fail, the tow crew push the tow bar beyond its limitations, and they fail safe, its place and broke before it could break the aircraft. That is what you’re talking about.

[@rickpoole1274]

@@StigAviation So do I understand it correctly that the shear pin is what keeps the towbar head and adapter aligned and when it breaks they can pivot sideways which is what would push the nose wheel sideways but prevent damaging the nose wheel attachment or structure? BTW - I'm a GA pilot, not a mechanic but like to understand how things work.

[@StigAviation]

Yup. You got it. Soon at it sheers it will come loose to prevent damage to the aircraft. Basically the pin will fail before the knuckle on the aircraft side.

I try to put these videos together on the days that I am off, I compile all the information and I try to get it out to you usually between Wednesday or Friday. Trust me when I tell you I am by myself, there’s nobody helping me create these videos. So it takes some time to put all of it together specially for over an hour long video like this. But to answer your question, look for the videos between Wednesday and Friday, you’ll most likely find it, otherwise if I don’t post something like that, that means I am either not working that week or on vacation which I will let people know.

It’s an honor for me to have such incredible dedication from people like you and other to be here and watch. I hope it’s doing the aviation community proud. Regardless of numbers I’m just happy I can give back

I have heard that sound from the brake fan (21:39) many times at my local airport (Queenstown Airport ZQN, South Island New Zealand )where I spend a lot of time plane spotting. I could not work out where it was coming from, mystery solved thanks to you.👍NIce catch of the wake turbulence as the B777 cut through the cloud.

[@StigAviation]

My pleasure. Glad I could help pin point your curiosity

[@agimibraimi96]

There have been many time where I changed a corrie light and changed the bad bulb only for the other to die as soon as I pop it back in so I usually just change both 😅

[@StigAviation]

I usually do that too, but I was running low on bulbs in my pocket. 🤣🤣

[@NathanielStauber]

My first thought when seeing a video of that fire was "isn't there a big red button the ground crew should be pressing to shut off the power?" But i know it's not always that simple. Thanks again for this look into the aviation world and all you do for passengers and crew.

[@StigAviation]

Yes, indeed there is Nathaniel, the problem is that people panic and sometimes when people panic, they don’t know what to do.

[@MrRobbie545]

Happy AMT Day! You guys rock! Thank you for your diligence e and making us safe in the sky's!😀

[@StigAviation]

Thank you so much Mr. Robbie.

[@kxxndxvxs]

This was the first of your videos I’ve ever seen, I’ve seen videos from a few different airside content creators, none of them however come close to not only the amount of detail, but how easy it comes across to understand, and in such an open way. Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s appreciated. I’ll certainly be back for more!

[@StigAviation]

I am very grateful that you were here and I appreciate you taking time and watching and learning. My content and my videos are very different from anybody else’s because I put you in my shoes and I want you to see what I see. I really hope you are enjoying it and I really hope you’re learning.
